disapproved by the Senate immigra-
tion'committee today by a five to four
vote. The committee agreed to adopt
the substitute measure restricting im-
migration to a percentage basis.
Mr. Grifford admitted however that
the association had most of its work
ahead of it—that the curve in the
crime stale still showed a menacing
upward trend-
' the following as the Texas child'
creed:
"Ev.-ry child has the inalienable
right lo he bom free from disease,]
free from deformity and with pure:
blood in i's veins and arteries. Every'
child lias Ilie inalienable right to be I
loved; to have its individuality re-!
speeded; to he trained wisely in!
mind, body and soul; to be protect-!
ed from disease, evil influence and!
evil persons and to. have a fair]
chance in life—in a word, to he
brought up in the fear and admoni-
tion of the Lord.”
Figures for Texas show that there
were 3,977 deaths from diseases of
infancy during 1926, as compared
with 3,192 deaths in 1919.
No woman awaiting the joys of
coming motherhood should allow
the days to pps without giving
nature a helping hand—because
the conditions of pending mother-
hood, existing as they do, over a
protracted period of months, cre-
ate almost a new state of being
for a woman.
Mother's Feeknd is a balm for
the nerves,-an intensley penetrat-
ing lubricant that softens the
muscles, relaxes tension of the
delicate organism involved in ma-
ternity, and prepares the way for
an easier, quicker and practical
delivery.
