If the Local Councils of Women in manada, could their claim record of credit work for noth- the interests of children would be in itself a justification for their existence.

It has only been within the last few years that child welfare work has been taken up to any great extent in Canda, and its progress has been much better than most people expected at the time it was first started. Through its baby contests, free clinics at the hospital, the Local Council in Vancouver has made a claim for recognition among the othex councils of Canada, and if things XO on as planned the Vancouver council will set a new record this year 28 far as its Better Baby Contest is concerned. What can be done along these lines is shown by the report recently issued by tre Montreal Local Council of Women whose members started a milk station there stome time ago. Milk is given to those who cannot afford to pay for it, but such cases are investigated by a a a a a charity organization, erwise the depot would probably be swamped with requests for free milk. The half-yearly report of the Milk Station conducted by the Council in the basement of the Montreal Foundling and Baby Hospital, 750 St.

Urban Street, shows satisfactory work for the winter months, and promises wonderful results for the coming hot weather. During that period there has not been one death among the babies receiving milk and attending the tree clinics held four times a week. -seven new babies have been received and seventy dismissed, having reached the age limit of two years. The average amount of milk used is 644 gallons per month. Free milk is given about six cases daily, all of which are investigated by the charity erganization.

The work of the milk station is in churge of a trained nurse, who is on full day duty at a salary of $65.00 a month; one-half of the day is devotel to work in the milk station, the mornings being spent in visiting the in their homes and giving instruction to the mothers. During the period of time covered by the following report she had made 1072 visits. The modifications of the milk as a heavy item expense, the supplies being in themselves and the preparation necessitating, half-day service of a trained for such work by the Montreal Foundling and Baby Hospital.

DON'T LET SOAP SPOIL YOUR HAIR When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkall, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this 18 pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.

Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking. bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruft.
