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

fed on milk and not coca-cola.
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.

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

'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

virtue, but is necessarily rated
