You wouldn't think it could be, but
right here in our town there are
mothers who feed their or months
old babies on bologna sausage, ba-
nanas. cheese and beer. The baby
association, Miss Lillian Davis, found,
on one of her visits to a Russian fam
lily in Topeka, sick baby who had
been fed on those articles. During
and to instruct the mother in the nee
essary treatment, one of the older
children came in with a sack of ba-
nanas- The mother peeled one of
them and gave piece of it to the
baby in spite of the protests of the
nurse. The baby died, of course But
1t is much more frequently that the
lives of the children are saved by the
efforts of the visiting nurse; for her
| instructions are more often needed
than disregarded. Miss Davis is now
helping in the care of a tiny Next
can baby, who is recovering under the
united efforts of the nurse and the
mother Il find Miss Davis said this
morning, that the young mothers are
nearly all eager to learn the new ways
of taking care of their children. I
have my hardest difficulties with the
older ones and the grandmothers, who
cling to their superstitions. However,
one old colored woman in town, when
she saw the care her daughter gave to
her baby declared that she wished she
could bring up her children over
again after the modern way"
The baby nurse does not confine her
efforts to charity work. She has many
/ nay cases in good homes 1Ehere there
