fed on milk and not coca-cola.
While inspecting a rural school, a
nurse was handed a note by one of
the teachers. 1t contained request
from a young girl that the nurse visit
her mother who was nursing twins.
The girl had attended the home nurs-
ing class and realized that all was not
we'll with her patient, and she felt
that she could call upon the public
health nurse for assistance. The nurse
found a mother with phlebitis. They
were being fed matted milk as SUBJ
stitute for mothers milk when the
supply was not sufficient for them.
They are not three months old, ac-
cording to the report, and are gaining
in weight as is shown by regular
weighing. Instead of matted milk,
modified cows milk is being used.
This work led to other mothers in the
community asking for the nurse to
visit them.
At one conference, rs children of
pre-school age were examined.
These few instances of work actu-
ally being done by the visiting nurses.
which instances are taken from re-
ports made to Mrs. Dodd show the

and to the state. The State.

A SKELETON IN
HARDINC'S CLOSET

The reactionary Republicans at
Chicago were more than willing to
cheer dead lion, provided that the
progressive who once followed him
did not succeed in nominating a
live one in his place. But the schism
of 1912 is not closed. The feelings
that were hurt in 1912 were outrag-
ed again in 1920, although there is
scant possibility of any organized
group of disgusted Republicans
adopting the same desperate expe-
dent. So the Morning World has
not chosen a propitious time from
the old guards point of view to dig
up out of the files Of the Marion
Daily Star a record of what seem
to have been Mr.. Harding's opinion
eight years ago. The Star opposed
Colonel Roosevelt, it declared, "be-
cause we believe him to be insuited
in character and temperament to be
chief executive; because he is an
unsafe and dangerous leader; be-
cause he is lawless and insincere,
selfish and unscrupulous; because
he is a bully by nature and lover
of war, and is therefore not to be
trusted with the control of any of
our relations with our neighbors"-
and so on, winding up with the ora
cular question and answer: "Is it to
be Taft or Wilson? 1t cannot be
Roosevelt"
1t is these dark words rather than
the comments on Colonel Roosevelt
or the characterization of Hiram
johnson, whose support he now
needs, as "both a faker and black
guard" that are intended to hurt
Senator Harding. The whole incl
dent turns upon party regularity,
is not only Harding's principal poll
tical virtue, but is necessarily rated
high by the group which nominated

him. Without the tradition of regu-
larity the convention would not
have held together a week, and the
election this fall would be an unor-
ganized scramble for votes. Al
ready it is certain that Johnson and
Borah can give the party nominee
only the most lukewarm support
in fact, about all they can be count
ed upon to do is not to oppose him.
If his regularity should be question

SAYS BABY FED
DILUTED WHISKEY
Public Health Nurse Makes Report
of Case

Whiskey diluted with water and
straight coca-cola have been used as
food for babies of tender age. accord.
ing to reports made by county nurses
to Mrs. Ruth A. Dodd, director of the
bureau of child hygiene.
In the case in which wnis.ey and
water were used, the nurse reports
the infant to have been in an intox-
ieated condition. In making the
report of the case, the nurse says
that while calling at home which
had been recently visited by the
stork, neighbor came in and wanted
to borrow a breast pump saying that
his wife was suffering from fever,
presumably from the breast. The
nurse went to the home and found
the mother with a temperature of
103 degrees; she was surrounded by
five women who announced that they
had been unable to induce the baby
to take nourishment in the orthodox
fashion and so had fed it on whiskey
weakened with water, thus providing
the infant with it's first jag. The
nurse at once took the situation in
charge, soon had the mother resting
more comfortably and left instruct.
ions for procuring the attendance
of a physician. On later visit she
found that no doctor had been en-
ployed and so went herself and en-
gagged his services, and afterwards
made visits of instruction.
Another nurse has reported that
upon entering a home she found
two weeks old baby with nourish-
ing bottle of coca-cola. This incident
led to the inauguration of milk
campaign as a result of which the
dairyman of the community says that
business had increased to such an ex-
tent that he is unable to supply the
demand.
This "Drink Milk" propaganda
spread to other districts before the
arrival of the nurse When this
nurse first entered school in a new
community one sturdy youngster
rushed up the aisle to meet her ex-
claiming in a shrill childish treble,
"Our cow gives four gallons of milk" !"
This pardonable pride in the liberal
ity of the family cow was squelched
only with difficulty by the teacher,
and ON his way back to his desk he in
sisted on informing che visiting nurse
that in his family the children were

ed it would weaken him where he is
strongest without strengthening
him where he is weakest.
This resurrection of the records
of a bygone political squabble does
not, of course, commend Itself to
ones conception of fair play. For
those who are interested principally
in the nature of the next admin
stration, the disadvantage under
which Harding labors is that he was

Value of College Education.

There was never time when expert knowl-
edge was so highly priced and so highly COM
pensated.
High wages for unframed labor will tempt
many young man to discount the value of
college education. But such an education, rep
resenting the work of four years. viewed mere
ly as an investment of time and of money, is
equal in earning capacity to an estate of more
than $50,0OO
What estate comparable with this can the
parent of average means hope to give or leave
to his son? What young man can acquire that
much value in the same time at any other busi
ness?
Education fits one for life whose possibli-
!, ties are limited only by his capacity ana char
'acter. Eventually for the unframed there
awaits the slavery of ignorant and undirected
effort.
Clemson College brings within the reach Of
every young man in South Carolina the benefits
and possibilities of technical education. At
Clemson College boy from the humblesl home
in South Carolina can prepare himself for a
high place in the service ofhis state and nation.

Our trade with Argentina, Brazil.

increased only Is per cent during the
first nine months Of the fiscal year,
July 1, 1913. to March 81. 1920, over
the corresponding time Of the pre-
ceding year. Our imports from these
countries during this time increased
about 48 per cent. The result is that
a trade balance adverse to us was
created to the amount OF 1921 100000
during that time.
The United States is neglecting her
trade with the countries Of the south
in her rush for European trade. The
trade of these countries is ours by
all geographical and political advan-
tages. The depreciation Of the Ameri-
