BABY CLINIC READY
At DEL. HOSPITAL
DR.. Margaret Handy to Attend
Little Patients, Beginning To-
morrow; Formerly at
Johns Hopkins.

A Clinic for the diseases of children Will
be opened at the Delaware Hospital to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
This Pcdiatric Clinic will be attended by
DR.. Margaret Handy DR. Handy is a
graduate Of Johns Hopkins Medical
School For ono and one-half years follow
ing her graduation she was attached to the
Harriet Lane Home, which is the children s
section of the Johns Hopkins Hospital
where she was acting resident for part of
that time The Harriet Lane Home has
from sixty To eighty children S visits day
and at all times has from fifty 10 seventy
five in the hospital for attention.
Following her experience AT the Harriet
Lane Home, DIR. Handy was attached tor
one wear to the staff of the Women $
Hospital in Philadelphia. Her practice
nsMllmington will be entirely confined to
children's diseases.
In discussing her work, DR.. Handy re-
marked that fifty per cent OF all the
diseases of childhood arc due to wrong
feeding
The primary mistake in thus respect,
said DR.. Handy. rs too carly weaving.
taking the infant off of breast milk. The
second most frequent mistake Is mado
in putting the infant on proprietary food
diet. The right formula with cows milk
is much better than any OF the prepared
foods. Many, many mothers, however who
do not understand the feeding Of children
giving their babies indigestihlefoods and as
they begin TO grow up making the big
mistake of leaving out OF the children s
diet green vegetables.
''Rickets and ScurVv are very common
diseases among children. Scurvy is not
nearly as uncommon disease us many
people think In the two weeks in which |
have been i'll Wilmington, have already
seen four cases among children have been
looking after ON EaStSide. Many mothers
make hemist axe when their children are
i'll. of getting patent medicine Of one kind
or other and trying TO treat them them
selves This is not good economy. When a
child seems i'll he should Al orcc be taken
to a trusted physician and the parents
should not wait until the child Is so sick
the doctor has 10 ne called.
Most of the practices of peGiatrics
consists in preventive medicine. \ great
deal of the treatment consists simply IN
advice TO the mothers, not only In how 10
get their children well but in how 70 carry
them along so that they will not be SICK
again.

Soldiers Letter.

OOlUlOI'S L0Lt0I.
We are indebted to Mr. and Mrs
Powell for the following letter
which is here published, and which
we believe will be of interest to the
people of our town and County,
from Sergeant Carl F Schubert of
ll3 MAJ hine Gun Battalion now in
active service in Belgium.
On The Flanders Front.
August -, 1918.
Dear Mr. and Mrs Powell;
Tonight 1 received copy of.
the Press dated July 5, lsand l no.
ticed the good @ E Program in it to
be led by you. Some way or the
other that Program strikes me just
right and l am sure you must have
had a wonderful meeting. You
know really like to have meetings
of this kind once in a while just to
see how many will take a part al
tho their names are not on the pro-
gram. That Subject "Our Abilities"
is broad subject and / wonder
some times If we really use all our
abilities to the best advantage and
to the Glory of God. Our Battalion
was in the trenches last week and
our Headquarter where ] stay was
some five miles from the lines, so
one night went up to see how the
boys were getting along and as
walked up that road with two other
boys the shells were falling around
our feet and the cannons were
roaring. In those few moments |
realized a. / never die before how
much we soldier boys need our God
and I really think if any thing
would make fellow think about
his soul salvation it would be the
rain of shot and shell that would
p p.obably send him 0 el or hea,
ven IN the twi' kle of an eye. We
rad unusual good luck. came out of
The trenches without a single Cas-
laltie.
Ialso notice the SIS Program
low / wish could have been there
10 attend and to have taken some
zind of a part. / never could do
,ery much but was always willing

A meeting of all the nemters of
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-02-25
RESIGNATION OF CAPTAIN W. w. SCOTT
OF ROCK ISLAND ACCEPTED AND FROMME
NAY TAKE COMMAND OF LOCAL BATTERY
Especial to The Argus.)

Camp Logan. Texas. Feb. 25.-The
resignation OF Captain ". W. Scott of
Rock Island, ILL.,, commander Of Bat
terry F, One Hundred and Twentythird
field artillery. has been accepted by
the war department, 1t Is announced
here.
Captain Scott, whose rise to the
command Of Company A, Sixth regi-
ment, Illinois National Guard In Rock
Island, was nothing short Of remark
able, asked that he be relieved Of his
commission because of ill-health. Con-
slant attention to hts duties, which
were more or less arduous in the work
of shaping the National guardsmen in
to soldiers fit t. fight, and the task OF
changing the company over from the
infantry to the field artillery, made
him subject to nervousness. In addi-
ton, his eyes gave him considerable
bother and consequently these handi-
caps impelled him to offer his resig-
nation.
Captain Scott became first Heuten-
ant just few weeks after he enlisted.
He was a practicing attorney at the
time that he joined the national guard
when the Mexican trouble was at its
heighth in the spring Of 1916. When
Captain Ben Benson resigned in the
fall of 1916, Lieutenant Scott took
charge Of the company and later was
commissioner captain of the troop.
There was probably no commander
at Camp Logan who was more popu-
lar with the men in his charge, than
was Captain Scott. He bent every ef-
fort to see that his soldiers were we'll
provided for and while he did not
destroy their respect for the Office he
held, he made their troubles his and
aided them in every possible way. The
result was that he whipped the COM
pany into fine shape, into such an
efficient body OF men that the change
from the infantry to the field artillery
was accomplished with little difficulty
