Eight Such Stations Are Located in Various Sections of Waterbmy-Jmior League Workers Great Aid in Caring for Little Ones Brought to Health Areas

Save the Babies, the Wealth of the Nation," is the caption of a pos ter suspended in the office of Miss Eileen Walker, head of the Baby Welfare work of the Visiting Nurses Association, located on Field street. The poster shows an infant out-bal- ancing large stack of coins on q scale: Copies of these posters are in all of the eight baby welfare sta tions of the city and according to Miss Walker, the message on these posters, Save the Babies, Wealth of the Nation," Is the motto of the 16 nurses engaged in baby welfare work
 The eight stations in which the baby work is carried on are located as follows: Christ Chapel, 327 Bald- school, North End Y. M. c. A., 904 Bank street and 954 West Main street. Each afternoon nurses, with the assistance of members of Water bury Junior League, are found in one of these stations, carrying out the program as outlined by head quarters. The stations are open from 3 until 4:30 o'clock in the af- ternoon. On Mondays, the Christ Chapel station is the scene, on Tues days, Hopeville and 327 Baldwin street stations are the sites, Wednes- days. 20 Taylor street, and Sprague school. Thursday, North End Y, Fri day. 904 Bank street, and 954 West Main street.
 In addition to the nurses and Jun for League workers, there are six doctors who volunteer their services at these stations. They are pr E.. ". Goodenough at .Hopeville, pr Myron J. Fox at 327 Baldwin street, Dr A. s. Brown. at Taylor street, Dr J. Heitsel at Christ Chapel, Dr AL fred c. Dreher at the North End Y and Dr H. Everett Allen at s54 West Main street.
 It is the rule of the heads of the baby welfare workers that the mother and baby belong to their doctors until the infant is from one month to six weeks old. Headquart- CTS is notified of new born babies by St Mary's and the Waterbury hospitals. and through the board of health which turns over all names of babies whose mothers have re- ceived birth certificates. The pro- gram at the stations is not started until after the nurses have made two visits to the homes of new born babies.

Fletcher's CastOria
 for BabyhOOd
(By IRENE MEREDITH)

A half dozen babies carved in stone smiled for years from the caves of famed old Fifth Avenue mansion. Tourists - thousands of them--abroad every rubberneck wagon along New York's historic trail, invariably heard the guide megaphone: Here are the only babies in the world never cried for Castoria!'
 As matter lof fact. if all the governors. senator's. gcongresSmen, men of business and law, and wonaen of prominence,H past and present. whose mothers have given them Tletcher's Castoria, could be mus every city and town would be filled. For generations F1etcher's Cas- toria has been accepted as the moth er's standby through troubious days of babyhood.

milk. Insist on clean milk.
 Be sure that milk is kept cold. Milk that has soured Is unfit for the baby and letting it stand outside the Ice box, especially when 1t is warm weather will hasten the souring.
 When the baby has diarrhea, either with or without vomiting, stop all food at once and send for a physician immediately. Meantime allow baby to have plenty of boiled water to drink. Save the soiled diapers for the physician to exam inc. Always keep them covered. Give no medicine without the doc- tors advice.
 If the boy refuses to drink un- sweetened. cooled boiled water. give it barley or oatmeal water.
 Be sure to wash the hands thor oughly after changing :. diaper and before preparing food. Boil all the soiled diapers IS minutes to kill the dangerous germs which might spread the diarrhea among the other mem bers of the household.

Feeding q Bottled Fed
 Baby; System ln Everything
Milk Must Be Placed in the Refrigerator as Soon as
 Received-Al Jars and Bottles Must Be Boiled Absolute Sanitation Required

If the baby is bottle fed, here are a few does and don'ts to keep in mind:
 Be sure that the milk Is from healthy cows and kept clean. A speck of dirt in milk should keep you from accepting 1t.
 Be sure to put the milk, covered, an ice box or refrigerator, as soon as delivered.
 Be sure no fly has touched the milk you give the baby. Flies carry disease.
 Be sure to boil the bottles or jars in which the milk is kept cool be- fore filling.
 Be sure to use round nursing bot ties. not flat ones; have them grad uated and with wide mouths.
 Be sure that the rubber nipples can be turned inside out for clean ing every day.
 Be sure that the nipple end is completely filled with milk while the baby is nursing. Sucking in air causes collie.
 Be sure to wash the bottle and nipple after using-first in cold wa ter--then in hot, with soap suds-- and then rinse in cold water.
 Be sure to rinse the rubber nip pies thoroughly in cold water imme- diately after using, and then drop them into a covered glass. They should be boiled every day.
 Be sure to have a separate bottle for each feeding. @.ft
 Be sure to allow 15 and not more than 20 minutes for the baby to empty the bottle.
 Be sure to tell the doctor If you are in doubt as to whether or not tbe baby's food is agreeing with finn.
 Be sure to ask the doctor or nurse as to the instructions for baby's diet after the first month.
 Be sure not to waste your money on patent foods and condensed milk, unless ordered by the doctor

instructed to wait in hospital cases,
 until the baby and mother have ar-
 rived at their home. Then one visit
 is made by nurse assigned to the territory in which the baby is locat- ed. If the mother requests it, the
 nurse demonstrates the bathing of the
 baby. About two weeks later the
 nurse makes another visit. It is on
 this second visit that the nurse rec
 ommends that the baby be brought
 to the welfare station in the neigh
 borhood in which the mother re-
 sides.
 A regular system is carried out at
 the station. A new baby brought to
 the station is assigned to the Jnriior League workers for weighing, and incidentally, minus any clothing
 whatsoever. Miss Walker explained

 for fear of their baby catching cold.
 Usually they will leave some sort of
 draping, such as diaper or shirt on the baby when 1t goes to the scales. After the weighing Is done, two blanks are given the mother. It is with these blanks. or charts that a
 watch Is kept on the baby's growth. When the baby is brought again NO thS StSAsAOHs thS CIldEL ID tHc llTSt thing inspected. If there is a change, the nurse recommends the change in the baby's formula. If the baby shows indications of sick ness. the nurse instructs the mother to get In touch immediately with her doctor. If the mother does not have a doctor. or cannot afford one, the
 dispensary is recommended. Checks are made on the baby's feeding, how
 much and how often, how much In explaining the station work, Miss Walker stated the idea is to
 stabilize the baby's attitude toward life, and to regulate the baby's hab- its while an infant. Miss Walker explained that contrary to popular
 belief. the stations are not for the
 benefit of the poor class alone. She pointed out that the stations are now being visited by as many mothers of
 the other classes as of the poorer class. She stated that the stations accept the babies until they are about two years of age. figuring that the habits and stabilization
 have become well grounded. She added that the stations do not ac- cept sick babies and expressed the wish that all mothers would recog- nize that rule.

How to Remedy
 Poor Posture

Poor posture in children is gener- ally to be taken as a sign of fatigue or general weakness, due to im- proper food habits or some other condition of bad hygiene.
 The proper kind of food is more essential than quantity but with 1t must always be considered suffi- cient hours of rest to compensate for the natural activities of childhood.

August Tobacco Withdrawals
Indicate Halt Billion Added
to Handmade Cigarettes

The trend toward rolling your

creased in August, says the Wall
Street Journal, for the Gov
ernment report on Withdrawals Of
manufactured tobacco for con.
sumption showed the first in.
crease since December. 1890.
while cigarette consumption ex.
perienced the second largest de-
cline of the year.

cites.
Less Plug Used
Since cigarettes cannot con-
tain more than three pounds of
tobacco per thousand without
paying a higher tax, and probably
do not contain more than %
pounds of tobacco per thousand.
the increase of 632,533 pounds
of manufactured tobacco would
be equal to around $4,000, 900
manufactured cigarettes.
Since the trend of consumption
in plug tobacco is downward, it
is not improbable that the con.
sumption of tobacco suitable for
rolling into cigarettes showed a
greater increase than that re.
ported for the manufactured to-
bacco group as a whole, in which
case an even larger part of the
decline in cigarette consumption
would be accounted for.
Half Billion More Rolled
Furthermore, cigarettes rolled
by the smoker contain consider.
ably less tobacco than those made
mechanically.
AS a matter of fact, the 632,,
533 pounds of tobacco, if rolled
by individuals, probably would
yield from 509,000,000 to 100000
900 cigarettes, each much smaller
and less firm than those ready
made.

RAILS NOW SEEN
AS UPSW|NG
LEADERS
Were First to Signal Recent
DoWntrend and Chartists
See Hope in Latest Moves
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-The
one encouraging feature in yes.
terday'S zig-zag session was the
relative firmness of the rails.
This is a factor of importance
in its bearing on the near-term
course Of prices. 1t was the rail
group which first gave the signal,
months back, of a new down
trend, followed by the industrial
and utility groups.
Theory Of ChartistS
If this group can assume the
initiative on the side Of advance
over the next few sessions, it
could very readily set into mo-
ton a general movement to-
ward higher prices all along the
line. So much for the chartiSt
theory.
From an all-around viewpoint,
the distressing weakness in bonds
throughout yesterdays session
must not be overlooked. While
there is no rule against the stock
market ignoring reactionary ten
denotes in bonds and moving
ahead of its own free will. in
the long run the course of stock
prices will take it's cue largely
from the trend in the listed
bond market.
Therefore, well informed Wall
Street sources are admOniShing q
generally cautious attitude.
Reading At Premium
Apparently yesterdays spec
tacular squeeze in reading failed
to reduce entirely the short in
terest dormant in that issue.
At the close of yesterdays ses
sion, reading stock commanded
q one per cent premium in the
loan crowd. which means that
for every short commitment of
100 shares, the daily charge is
800.
