A most interesting place to visit
on any Tuesday afternoon is the Red
Cross Baby Welfare Clinic, which is
held at the Augusta General hospital
in room which has been given over
to that purpose.
One little baby has been to the
clinic 80 times, practically every week
the clinic has been held. The fellow
is growing now and gives every evil
dence of being helped by the advice
which his mother receives at the
clinic. When the method of feeding
the little tot was changed. it slightly
impaired its health. But through
the advice which his mother received
at the clinic, the little fellow picked
up and got through the changing
period all right. The effects of hot
weather We're also combatted by adj
vice from the doctor in charge Of the
clinic.

times. the nurses at the hospital are
called into duty. The advice which
the mothers receive at the clinic is
given without charge. No doctoring
is done at the clinic, but il need be,
the mothers are advised to see their
family physicians in regard to their
children's ailments.
Since the clinic was started last
summer, about 800 examinations have
been made. During that time, SO
babies have been treated. The big
gest problem which appears to con-
front the mother Of today is the
proper feeding. When the mothers
have found out what is best for their
babies to eat, then the babies thrive.
The popularity of the Baby clinic
is spreading. Many mothers of this
locality have highest words of praise
for the good work which DR.. San
born and his able assistants are do
ing

Hard on Average.

Bill Jones' score consistently
runs into three figures, ciphers
not counted. His two sons are
exceptionally good players. how
ever, SO Jones hit on perfectly
good idea for impressing new
acquaintance. AT each introduce
ton he would manage to bring
the conversation around to golf
and, IL asked what he usually
went around in, would look
thoughtful a moment and then
say. truthfully: "Well, we aver
age around" naming a score
that was, to say the least, dis
paraging to his sons ability,
though greatly to his own credit.
Old-timers about the club were on
to his scheme and had many a
quiet laugh on the side when
Jones was making an impression.
Finally Jones' wife prevailed on
him to teach her the game.
Obediently, IL unwillingly, he I'M
dertook her instruction. He was
showing her how to approach at
the second green which, un-
fortunately, was near the road,
when two old club members drove
by in a car and, seeing what was
going on, one of them leaned out
of the car and vindictively yelled:
"Hey, Bill, there goes the old
average"
