Medical Student In Omaha Says
Wealthy American Women
Starye Their Infants go

Albert Akow Ting, the Honolulu Chi,
nese medical student at Creighton uni
versity, is attracting considerable at,
tention in Omaha just now.
Ting, who has finished eorrespon.
dence school course in penmanship as
side issue, has developed beautiful
style of penmanship, and he was asked
to do the engrossing and pen work on
the HOath of Hippocra:es, = one of
the class pictures exhibited in Omaha.
Although this was his first attempt
at work of this kind he persevered with
his task, working continually at it until
il was completed. The lettering was
SO well done that il attracted newspa.
per attention and was commended. 81
This, however, did not bring Ting
so much into the limelight as a state
ment he made, while discussing his
medical studies. He said the American
mothers of the wealthy class starye
their infants through artificial feeding,
which the child's stomach was unpre-
pared to assimilate, He blames the ex-
actions of social life for this failure
of mothers to nurse their children.
He also said that children of poor
mothers were in many cases suffering
from the same improper artificial feed.
