SAYS BABY FED DILUTED WHISKEY | " i Public Health Nurse Makes Report of Case Whiskey diluted witn viler and ( straight coca-cola have been used as j food for babies of tender age. accord. ing to reports made by county nurses to Mrs. Ruth A. Dodd, director of the, bureau of child hygiene. i In the case in which whis'ify and i water were used, the nurse reports' the infant to have been in a? intox** Seated condition. In making the i report of the case, the nurse says I that while calling at a home which i had been recently visited by the j stork, a neighbor came in and wanted to borrow a breast pump saying that! his wife was suffering from fever, I nresumablv from the breast. The | nurse went to the home and found the mother with a temperature of 103 degrees; she was surrounded by five women who announced that they ; had been unable to induce the baby to take nourishment in the orthodox fashion and so had fed it on whiskey weakened with water, thus providing ; the infant with its first jag. The nurse at once took the situation in Charge, soon had the mother resting more comfortably and left instructions for procuring the attendencc of a physician.' On a later visit she found that no doctor had been em ployed and so went nersen ana engaged his services, and afterwards made visits of instruction. Another nurse has reported that upon entering a home she found a two weeks old baby with a nourishing bottle of coca-cola. This incident led to the inaugeration of a , milk campaign as a result of which the dairyman of the community says that business had increased to such an extent that he is unable to supply the demand. This "Drink Milk" propaganda spread to other districts before the arrival of the nurse When this nurse first entered a school in a new community one sturdy youngster rushed up the aisle to meet her exelaming in a shrill childish treble, "Our cow gives four gallons of milk." This pardonable pride in the liberal-j ity of the family cow was squelched ; oniy witn aimcuity oy nit icacuci, , and on his way back to his desk he in-, sisted on informing tfie visiting nurse, that in his family the children were Charter No. 3421 REPORT OF CO NATIONAL BANK O AT ABBEVILLE, IN THE STATE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON J RE SO 1.

While inspecting a rural school, a nurse was handed a note by one of the teachers. It contained a request from a young girl that the nurse visit her mother who was nursing twins. The girl had attended the home nursing class and realized that all was not well with her patient, and she felt that she could call upon the public health nurse for assistance. The nurse found a mother with phlebitis. They were being fed malted milk as a substitute for mother's milk when the supply was not sufficient for them. They are not three months old, according to the report, and are gaining in weight as is shown by regular weighing. Instead of malted milk, modified cow's milk is being used. Tihs work led to other mothers in the community asking for the nurse to visit them. At one conference, 76 children of pre-school age were examined. These feyr instances of work actually being done by the visiting nurse3which instances are taken from reports made to Mrs. Dodd show the value of the nurse to a community and to the state. ?The State.

BUICK COMES FIRST IN DISTANCE RACE Just a plain, ordinary, everyday Buick won the 25 mile automobile race at the Fair grounds yesterday in 30 minutes and 50 seconds. The car was driven by H. D. Schuyler. Stutz Marino up, came second and Haj^es, piloted by Talley Garren came third. Essex, Ford and others also ran. The Buick was the only car in this race which held up for the entire distance. Marino's Stutz suffered two punctures and the Essex went out for several laps with engine trouble, while the tlaynes lost tnree or rour miles with simliar complications. The Buick was rattling at the finish but rolled perpetually during the en< tire distance.?Columbia State. (Advertisement.) .i A SKELETON IN HARDING'S CLOSET The reactionary Republicans at Chicago were more than willing to cheer a dead lion, provided that the J progressive who once followed him I did not succeed in nominating a live one in his place. But the schism of 1912 is not closed. The feelings that were hurt in 1912 were outraged again in 1920, although there is scant possibility of any organized group of disgusted Republicans adopting the same desperate expedient. So the Morning World has not chosen a propitious time from it j?_ ?f_A -J x- j!.. itne oia guaras pjmu ox view u> uig 'up out of the files of the Marion Daily Star a record of what seem 'to have been Mr. Harding's opinion eight years ago. The Star opposed 'Colonel Roosevelt, it declared, "be1 cause we believe him to be insuited in character and temperament to be 'chief executive; because he is an unsafe and dangerous leader; because he is lawless and insincere, selfish and unscrupulous; because he is a bully by nature and a lover of war, and is therefore not to be trusted "v^ith the control of any of our relations with 'our neighbors"? and so on, winding up with the oracular question and answer: "Is it to be Taft or Wilson? It cannot be Roosevelt." It is these dark words rather than the comments on Colonel Roosevelt or the characterization of Hiram Johnson, whose support he now needs, as "both a faker and a black 'guard" that are intended to hurt I Senator Harding. The whole inciI dent turns upon party regularity, is not only Harding's principal political virtue, but is necessarily rated high by the group which nominated ' CLEI South Caroli %NEXT SES EQUIPMENT AND COUF College Lands?1560 Acres.
