MILK STATION Is
MEETING A NEED
In Operation Four Days and
Four Babies Are Being
Given Food There.

The milk station established at the
| West End settlement by the Visiting
! Nurse association has been In opera
| ton four days and the nurses in
! charge, the Misses Edna Flanagan and
! Georgia Turnbull, feel muck en-
| couraged in the interest taken in this
short time. Four babies are already
regular patrons of the station and
| the number will increase as the OBJ
ject of the station becomes better
known. The nurses have, with the
assistance of Mrs. Barker at the
settlement, fixed up room calculated
in every way to meet the demands
of such a station. The equipment is
the best that can be procured and is
sufficient to accommodate a much
larger number of patrons. The moth
ers who have procured food for their
babies are delighted with the results
so far obtained and are enthusiastic
in their praise of the service.
The nurses each morning prepare
food for each baby according to the
formula prescribed by the physician
attending the child, the preparation
being made scientifically and care
fully and under the most sanitary
conditions procurable. Enough food
for each feeding for "a hours is placed
in a sterilized bottle and is then plac-
ed in a receptacle containing ice. The
food is procured at the settlement
each day by some members of the
family, the empty bottles being re-
turned at the same time. The milk
which the nurses use is procured from
the Brooks dairy and comes from
tuberculin tested cows and is the !
best that can be procured in the city, |
so each baby is absolutely certain OF |
getting the best food possible to OBJ !
tain.
This is not a charitable undertake
ing, for each one patronizing the sta
ton must pay the actual cost of pre-
pairing the milk. Nor it it a money |
making scheme, for the cost is no
more than it would be were each
mother to prepare the food. but it
carries with it the elimination of the
trouble of each preparing the food.
The nurses are anxious that the
mother with a bottle baby take ad-
of the opportunities offered
by the station and they are anxious
too, for the various physicians to CO.
operate with them in prescribing for
the babies.
The station as tried out in other
cities has been found of great aid in
the care of children and the good
health and even lives of many babies
are laid to care exercised by the
nurses in preparing their food.
Ten babies were registered at the
baby welfare station yesterday, the
interest in that branch of the work
keeping a good level.

Haddick had been working all day
in the hot sun at the yards of the Rock

of his fellow employees who rode home
on the car each evening with him
asked him TO take the car as IL was
too warm to walk. But Haddick in
sisted that he would walk, and left
him. Officers Furlong and Gruby saw
Haddick collapse. and Gruby hastily
phoned for the ambulance, which ar
rived shortly afterward. AS they
placed him in the machine he groaned
two or three times, and when taken
out at the station he was dead. DR..
A y. Mueller was summoned. and the

is De Facto Officer.

The court in reply stated that he
was forced to recognize Mr.. Wood as
a de facto officer and that he as such
could not go into the question of the
legality Of his appointment as a special
states attorney in a proceeding OF this
character. Right or wrong, Mr.
Wood has been appointed" he contin-
ued, and the only way in which his
Office can be attacked is through a quo
waTranto proceeding"
Il will be remembered that a quo
warranto proceeding was filed by c. C.
Head against George W. Wood, ques-
tioning his right to act as a special
states attorney, but that the court
ordered l. dismissed. for the reason it
WAS brought by a private person and
not through the Office OF states attor-
Ley, as required by law. Mr.. Thomp-
son refused to be party to the suit
and it was dropped.

which the defense has INDUCED and
declared that none OF IT was to the
point and went wide OF the mark.
1T is perfectly absurd and ridiculous
10 talk OF a conspiracy 20 blacken the
character of these liIy-white defend
ants" he declared. The idea that the
board OF supervisors would deliberate
ly enter into an agreement TO wreck
the finances and regulations Of these
men. is preposterous. What was the
motive Of this deep. dark conspiracy?
None has been shown, yet there must
be a motive behind every human &C
ton. Was the motive envy? Was II
revenge? Were these defendants rails
ed up on such high pedestals that the
board members wanted to ruin them?
General objections have been rails
ed by the defense, as well as objec-
ton 10 the form and substance OF the
indictments returned. There Is abso-
lutely no question OF the legality of
the appointment OF Mr. Wood as spe-
cial prosecutor. Not only has the grand
jury right 10 ask for the appointment
OF a special prosecutor when il be
Iieves the interests OF the people are
not being conserved and protected.
but the court himself could have ap-
pointed on his own motion a special
states attorney. which was done in an
other county in this state. where a
states attorney committed murder.
Must Be Direct Attack.
THE petition in this instance was
signed by every member of the grand
jury. II did not require verification. |
The court had an inherent right to |
name a special states attorney, with |
out a showing of any kind. Anyway.
the only legal method by which the I
position OF Mr.. Wood as special states /
can be questioned is by a d.
rect attack and not a collateral pro-
ceedinG."
This morning George w. Wood ad-
dressed the court. combining his re
marks to the question Of the validity
OF the indictments. He was followed
by W. r. Moore for the defense. Mr..
Moore strongly questioned the regular
ity OF the appointment of Mr.. Wood as
special states attorney. Il think there
is no question but that the court had
the right 70 appoint a special prosecu-
tor. If the jurisdiction was properly in
voked." he declared. Il believe that
he court should have required a show

Jury presented asking for a special

liquor, evidently three gallons, a
strange negro walked along the rail-
road tracks to the Division Street
crossing, where he was relieved of one
of the packages by a man. who lost no
time in delivering il to a certain
house. The other negro hid his pack
ages in a ditch west of the railroad
and walked down the road. evidently
to throw off any suspicion that might
have been had of him bringing the
liquor into town. Notwithstanding the
fact that he was noticed by many peo-
pie at the station carrying the liquor
When the strange negro was seen
walking down the road without his
bundles, suspicion was had as to what
he had done with them. and an inves-
tigation revealed them in the ditch
near the railroad property. Sheriff
Smith and Constable Vansant were
notified and were soon at the place
where the liquor had been found. and
which they secured. They began a
search for the negro but he success
fully eluded his pursuers.
