Scope and Contents
Illustration of baby girl's head, wearing bonnet. The text contrasts babies born with "silver spoons in their mouths," as opposed to recent immigrants of modest means (in this case Italian Americans), and indicates that families of modest means can afford the best soap. The text also refers to the assistance of the Visting Nurse Headquarters.
