•A munition plant in France
which maintains a model nur-
sery for the babies of its wo-
men employes is described by
Dr, Ester Love joy, who is at-
tached tp, the Red Cross in
Pkris, in a letter to Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, chairman of the
Woman!'a-~. Committee of the
Council of National Defense.
'."I. Havfe been assigned to
work- in- Paris," she writes, "and
have been visiting institutons
for the help of women and chil-
dren in -hospitals, maternities,
clinics, prenatal homes, homes
for nursing mothers and nur-
series for children whose moth-
neces-
r recently, provisions
for. pregnant women, who are
obliged t[0 work, and for nurs-
ing mothers and their infants
are interesting indicatioss of
the trend of things under the
pressure of economic
sity
• "Six thousand women are
employed at this place and
there. is a model nursery for
the care of infants. When the
mothers return to the factories
after their confinements, their
infants are taken, free of cost,
and cared for by trained nurses
in a home built for babies, not
a corner in a house built for
grown people. The mothers of
these babies are allowed half
an hour every three hours to
nurse their babies, and at
night there is one bottle feed-
ing, which arrangement per-
mits the mother to go home at
6:30 o'clock and rest all night
without being troubled by the
baby. The babies are always
left in the nursery during the
night. If ideas of this kind are
put in practice during the war
and developed afterward there
will be some good at least
come out of the evil of it all."
Dr. Lovejoy went to Paris as
a member of an American
medical unit. When the medi-
cal unit system was abandoned,
she was appointed second as-
sistant medical assistant in the
Children's Bureau of the Red
Cross in Paris—a bureau which
includes women as well as chil
dren.

YOUNG FOLKS
Had it ever occurred to you
that you had as well try to be a
successful' physician without
attending a medical school, or a
successful lawyer without at-
tending a law chool, tr a suc-
cessful minister without at-
tending a law school, or a sue-
to try to be a successful bank-
er, or' merchant, or business
man of any kind without first
being trained in the Tyler Com-
mercial College. You would at-
tend a university with a repu-
tation if you wanted to make a
first class doctor, lawyer or
minister. Why not use the
same good judgment in select-
ing a business school in which
to secure your training? The
Tyler Commercial College of
Tyler, Texas, is the business-
university of the South; it en-
rolls more students annually
than any other similar school
in America. Its students have
come from 39 different states
and seven foreign countries; its
graduates are holding the very
best of positions in the leading
cities of the United States.
#If you will spend from $125
to $200 for tuition, board and
books for a cijufse of Short-
Cotton passing, or Business
Administration and Finance, or
better still, spend $200 to $250
and complete any two of these
courses, you will have made the
best investment of your life.
What young man or woman
with grit and determination
cannot raise this amount?
Hundreds of students who bor-
rowed every cent of their mon-
ey to attend this school, or gave
their note for part of their tui-
tion, have found it the best
venture of their lives; they
were soon able, through the
good positions secured them by
the college, to pay what they
owed and continue to hold their
good positions or go into busi-
ness for themselves and suc-
ceed. If you always remain
where you are, you will always
be what you are. Think this
statement over seriously.
More than 300 new students,
before this month closes, will
be added to the twelve hundred
that are now here. Why not
you be among the number?
You can enter any day and take
up the work. For large free

Austin, Texas, Jan. 3, 1918.
To the Public:
Mr. R. R. Claridge, Assist-

ment of Agriculture, will hold
a farmers' institute at each of
the following places:
Kosse, January 7, 1:30 P. M.
Thornton, Jan. 8, 1:30 P. M.
Groesbeck, Jan. 9, 2 P. M.
Mexia, Jan. 10, 2:00 P. M.
Teague, Jan. 11, 2:00 P. M.
Fairfield, Jan. 12, 2:00 P. M.
Special attention will be giv-
en to the preparation of the
soil for next year's crop and to
the necessity for the produc-
tion of large yields of food and
feed crops during 1918. Pea-
nuts and truck crops will re-
ceive special attention.
We have won the fight for 30
cent' cotton. By the same
means we can get 35 cents, the
stronger and more united, the
surer the victory. Every far-
mer should come and join the
movement.
The local committee will
plea arrange for a place to
hold the meeting.
We especially invite the
press, the industrial depart-
ment of the railroads, the bus-
iness men, school superintend-
ent and all agricultural organi-
zations to co-operate in getting
out a large attendance to hear
these valuable lectures.
Yours respectfully,
Fred W. Davis,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
