THE BOYS WERE :.
 UNDER WEIGHT
What Visiting Nurses Ac- . complished for Mother
 of Nine Children
AID IN TIME OF NEED

Twins. two boys, were born to the Black family. Each weighed three pounds. There were a num- Der of other children in the family and MT B was out of work. From lack of sufficient nourishing food and weakened condition, Mrs B was unable to supply necessary nourish- ment to the babies. Consequently the babies began to lose weight. At three months one weighed eight and one-half pounds and the other nine pounds. At the age of three and one-half months and after consider able persuasion on the part of sev- eral visiting nurses the mother con- scented to take the babies to a Baby Welfare Station. A formula was prescribed by the doctor in charge. Mrs B.. not accustomed to the newer methods of feeding babies was re- luctant to give the new formula to her babies.
 Several visits were made to her home by the Visiting Nurse before a promise to try the food was made by Mrs B. After the formula was given without any alarming symptoms. it was repeated every three hours. The babies were. so much more content ed that Mrs B decided to continue giving it. Then orange juice and cod liver oil were added to their diets by the doctor and each week they continued to gain in weight. They were very contented babies. At four and one-half months of age cer- calls and vegetables were added and Mrs B's troubles were practically over. To-day at the age of 10 months one weighs nineteen pounds and the other twenty-two pounds. Mrs B takes great pride in bringing her two boys to B. w. s. She feels greatly repaid for all her troubles and thanks to the Visiting Nurses for having persuaded her to follow the B. W. s. doctors advice.
 Two hundred and eight -four babies received badges at the Baby Welfare stations this week. All of these have been examined by doc tor during the year. Fifty-five received badges last May, too. Twenty-eight have been immunized against diphtheria for which they were given gold stars.
