Handwork on Children's Dresses
BY MARY MARSHALL.

In spite Of all the wonderful things
that sewing machines and embroidery
machines are able to, do, there are
two sorts Of hand work that will proba-
bly, never go out Of favor. One is the
very fine, very intricate sort of work
that requires special skill to do, which
discriminating people will always value
Just as they do hand-wrought jewelry
or hand-carved furniture. And there is
the other sort of hand work that we

do and effective and at the same time
carries with 1t a note of individuality.
Hand work of the average sort that
might just as well and much more
quickly be done by machine is really
Q waste of time

THOUSANDS Of letters attest to
the efficiency of Kellogg's ALL
BRAN in overcoming constipa-
ton. For instance, Mr.. James
d: McEnery, Alto, Texas, re-
lates his experience:
"For fifteen years I was con-
stantly bothered with constipa-
ton. -. Some eighteen months
ago, | began using Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN. From the first week
to this good day, I have never
had to take a dose Of laxative
medicine of any description"
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN is the
largest selling all bran cereal
in the world. Two tablespoon
fuls daily are guaranteed to
give relief. How much safer than
using habit-forming laxatives.
ALL-BRAN also adds needed
iron to build the blood. In the

CH|LD'S ACID DEATH
DUE TO NEGLIGENCE
Hospital and Nurse Blamed
by Coroner'S Jury in Use
of Wrong Bottle.

A coroner's jury decided this after
noon that the death Friday of 9-year-
old Thomas Jefferson, colored. 2215
Twelfth street was the result of negli-
gence both by Freedmen's Hospital au-
thorities and a nurse, who, in giving
the child a rundown, .mistook carbolic
acid for alcohol.
ever, that any one be held for grand
jury action.
In the verdict, it was held the hos
pltal was negligent in labelling improp-
erly the bottles of carbolic acid and al
cohol. The nurse, Mabel Gray, was
negligent according to the coroner's
jury, in that she failed to recognize the
difference between the alcohol and the
acid
The Gray woman, a senior student
at the institution, was present at the
inquest, but did not testify on the
advice of her attorney.
1t was brought out by witnesses that
the two bottles containing alcohol and
carbollc acid were similar in appear
ancen although differently marked on
the labels The evidence showed there
was no distinctive poison designation
on either.
The Gray woman. a senior nurse
student, had told hospital authorities
she did not discover her mistake until
her hands became burned after she had
bathed half the boys body. She could
offer no explanation for confusing the
carboltc acid with rubbing alcohol.
The boy was admitted to the hospital
October for treatment of a nervous
ailment. Last Friday the nurse was
ordered to give him an alcohol bath.
DR.. William A. Warfield, chief surgeon
at the hospital, said his investigation
disclosed the nurse took an empty rub
bling alcohol bottle from the children's
ward, went into another warda~nd filled
the bottle from a container plainly
marked 'phenol." the medical designa-
ton of carbolic acid.
DR.. Warfield said the nurse apparently
disregarded the strict training rule at
the hospital that labels on bottles should
be read three times before using. Even
the distinctive odor of carbolic acid
passed unnoticed while she was pouring
the fluid and while she was rubbing the
child, DR. Warfield said.
The child died an hour later, despite
efforts by DR.. Frank Triggs and DR..
Lawrence jackson. staff physicians, to
save his life. An immediate report was
made to Coroner Joseph D. Rogers.
The nurse was suspended, and Dr.
Warfield said she would be dismissed
following the coroner's inquest.
