A Match at Stanton,

Stanton, Neb. Feb. Especial to
The News: A very interesting match
was pulled off here between Mr.. Flick

MILK THE ONLY BABY FOOD.
New York Doctor Says Prepared Kinds
Don't Nourish.


Don't Nourish.
New York, Feb. 6.-Prepared food
for infants and the men who make
and advertise it both came in for
criticism at the hands of DR.. Charles
G. Kerley, who told an audience at
the Child's Welfare Exhibit last night
that the mother who used the pre-.
pared foods according to directions
would be sure in the end to have a
starved and unhealthy child.
MANY babies" said DR.. Kerley,
have undergone slow form of star.
walton while eating daily from pre-.
pared foods, the labels of which show
ed pictures of rosy checked, growing
infants said to be the foods especial
products. Often the starvation could
not be detected by the mothers be-
cause the child would continue to APP
pear fat and plump. But the sad fact
has been that it was overfed on sug.
ars and received a serious deficiency
of fats and bone and muscle building
material"
DR.. Kerley insisted that long prac.
tice in infant wards of hospitals in
this city had convinced him that there
was no substitute for milk as food
for babies.
