IT IS THE MEN'S JOB TO

PROVIDE HOMES,"

"LET THEM STOP QUARRELLING AND EARN THE MONEY."

Sir George Newman, Chief Medical Othcer to the Ministry of Health, ad, dressing the delegates to the annual con- ference of women's institutes the other day, told his hearers that scientific care of children was needed if we were to create an Imperial, race.

£120,000 SURPRISE.

SURREY WOMAN'S LEGACT FROM HER FATHER.

AN EMPLOYEE OF FAR EAST CABLE Co.

CAPETOWN, July 28th. Mrs. Selic, who during the war lived a: Crogdon, Surrey, with her father, has inherited £120,000 under his will. Ee had been formerly employed by a cable company in the Far East. After retir ing he invested his savings in oil and other shares, nearly everything he touch ed booming. The size of the legacy greatly surprised Mrs. Selfe and her hus- |

An increasing number of women are asking themselves how this necessary care can be givea to all-the-children-of-the-hand. British people. How can we give our children the environment and the phy sical, mental, and moral care required for the making of a race worthy of its Imperial inheritance and prepared for its great responsibilities 7

The proper rearing of a child is an expensive process, and only the fortunate few among parents can as yet afford to give their children all they should have to make them as nearly perfect in hody and mind as is humanly possible.

Why Don't Men Get Together?" Even if every child were born of healthy parents (which is far from being the case) there are not enough suitable homes, nor enough food and clothing, ready for them after they are born. How to procure and pay for these indispensable things is the constant preoccupation of the majority of mothers.

Mrs. Selfe says that she and her hus- band intend devoting themselves to gar dening for the remainder of their livea in the remote little village near Robert- son, where they have resided for the past

seven years,

They think South Africa the best. country in the world to live in and their three children will be educated here.

THANKS TO MR. COOK.

HIS RECORD EXAMINED."

Sir Francis Joseph writing in a Home paper says:-Perbaps the most import- aut claim made by Mr. Cook is that he is fighting the battle of the workers. The number who believe Mr. Cook is rapidly growing smaller, but it is desirable to state what Mr. Cook's efforts hare ac- complished.

1. He secured a general strike in our main industries. which ended in П collapse.

I shall long remember the pride with which one of them (an ex-Service man) showed me what they have accompäshed. He knew nothing of house-building when he started; but There's nothing you can't do if you want to do it, and use your brains, eaid he.

The War, and Then Strikes,

Women by nature and inherited train ing and experience are vitally interested in the guardianship of the race. They are now citizens sharing with men the duties and responsibilities of citizenship, and can do much to make men of all classes realise the seriousness of the pre- sent situation,

When our houses are built and furnish- ed, our work will really begin.

The Imperial citizen in prospect, is an expensive as well as, a precious respon- aibility. He must be kept in good health, be well fed, well clothed, and well educ ated. There must be no serimping and saving where the child is concerned, if we are to make a real success of our job. To economise at the expense of the child is a fatal policy and yet we are 'faced with a most difficult situation,...

The war left us poor, and strikes and industrial disputes have made us poorer How in the face of these hard economic facts are we to find the means for our great and patriotic task?
