The Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1920-1982, 1922-11-01

While at the postoffice the other
day we noticed a new sign on the
door leading to Postmaster Scott's Of
flee, reading "Fred A. Scot, post
master, Walk in" We walked in and
were welcomed by the glad hand of
the postmaster himself, who asked us
if we knew of any way in which the
service Of the postoffice could be i'm
proved. We had to admit that we
didn't. There is one thing about the
Devils Lake postoffice that we noticed
the first week we were here, and
that was the fact that from the post
master down to the janitor Of the
building all the employees are just
as anxious as they can be to please
the patrons Of the place, and such a
condition does not always exist in the
larger offices. In too many cases the
employees are very much on the same
order as employees in railroad Of
fices where it is hard to get civil
answer, and where a person is made
to feel that he is being granted big
favor when he is waited on. Mr.
Scott is the first postmaster in Devils
Lake for great many years that was
appointed on his own merits, and not
account Of his political affiliations
He never was politician, but he has
been employed in the postoffice here
for So many years that he knows just
what his patrons desire in the way of
service, and sees to it that they get
it. He is not only the most pleasant
postmaster that we ever had anything
to do with, but he insists that all Of
his employees greet the patrons with
a smile, and go out of their way if
necessary to give the best service
possible. The postoffice here is most
certainly being conducted in an ef-
ficient manner under Mr.. Scott's ad-
ministration, and as far as we're per-
sonally concerned weld rather not
see any change for the next hundred
years to come.

cheap fruit would be good thing for
the people Of Todd. But instead Of
cheap fruit, he saw twisted and torn
cars piled in a heap, and rescue work.

men from the wreckage. Today he
wishes he had turned the switch so

bility of securing a confession from
him covering the starting of the rail-

MALNUTRITION LAID
TO LAZY MOTHERS
Austrian Says Babies and
Young Children Here Are
Victims of Poor Feeding.

Babies and young children In this
country arc victims of malnutrition and
poor feeding jost as much as the starv-
ing children Of Austria. but In this
country the majority of the cases are
due either to the ignorance, carelessness
or laziness of the emothers, said DR..
Clemens Pirquet. noted Austrian pedia-
triclan and head of the American relief
administrators work in Austria, in an
address last evening before several hum
dred persons at the New York Academy
of Medicine, II West Forty-third street.
DR.. Pirquet. who supervised most OF
the work of feeding the starving chill
dren IN Austria for the last three years,
decried the fact that the American relief
administration would not be able to
continue it's work after next June.
At least 81, 900, 900 a year is needed to
carry on the work of feeding in Austria,
DR.. Pirquet said, and the indications are
that Austria will be able, to take care OF
her own problems within year or So
He said that Herbert Hoover will stand
out in history forever as the man who
did a tremendous work for the whole
world
Accompanying his talk with scenic IL
Illustrations, DR.. Pirquet told the audience
of about 500 persons, many of whom had
served with the relief administration
and the American Red Cross, of the sys-
tenn employed in Austria in the feeding
and classifying of the thousands OF chill
dren there. He told of the large store
houses for the food from America along
the Danube, and also of the immense
kitchens, some of which fed more than
$4,000 children daily.
State supervision of child feeding Is
the remedy for much malnutrition said
DR.. Pirquet who added that in this
country mothers would not force their
children to eat, and therefore many
we're undernourished because they didn't
want to eat. He said that forcible feed
ing is not detrimental.
'Tf a mother is lazy in this country
and remains In bed in the morning.
the child goes to school without any
breakfast or with anything 1t can pick
up. This should not be. A State ex-
animation Of the children should be
made and proper nourishment provided
for them"
DIR. Pirquet was professor OF pedia-
tries at John Hopkins University for
several years and went to the Univer-
sity of Breslau before the war. He was
later called to the University of Vienna
and after the war took over the work
of the American Relief Administration
in Austria.
