Andrew Sisco is in the field with
a new brand of phosphate, which
he claims to be the best, and which

a building at Mason's wharf over
the causeway at Smyrna Landing,

the other four mills of this vicin-

of the same growth, and is already
at work in manufacturing to fill

bringing about the best results.
He made one or two engagements
subsequently with parties to put

concerned. He now started out on

SOFT BALL IS
ENTERING ON
SECOND HALF
Team From The National Guards
Look Likely To Repeat
Work Of First Half

The second half of the soft-ball
league opened this week, and as in the
first half, it looks like the Guards is
the team that must be stopped.
On Monday, the Lions started off
in the win colmun by defeating the
Firemen 14-10. In the last half of
the league the Lions won only one
game, but it looks like a different
story this half.
On Tuesday, the Guards showed
why they were crowned first half win
ners by trouncing Montgomery Ward,
who finished in second place in the
first half, 34-13. The Guards Just
couldn't be stopped and they expect
to continue their victory march with
out losing game in the second half,
in other words an undefeated season.
On Wednesday, the Montgomery
Ward boys, after a severe beating at
the hands of the Guards, settled down
and played real ball to beat the Lions
7-3. This was the lowest scoring
game of the league to date and it was
an excellent game to watch.
On Thursday the Eagles met the
Juniors but the score was not deter
mined at this writing.

NURSING SERVICE
AVAILABLE TO
YOUNG MOTHERS
Secure Full Directions From
Doctor And Garry Them
Out Carefully

Speaking of the public health nurs-
ing service available to young moth
ers in the counties, DIR. j. H. M. Knox,
Jr., Chief of the Bureau of Child Hy-
giene of the State Department of
Health, said: cit has often been said
and said truly that young baby needs
medical and nursing care even more
than a sick adult does. The baby is
entirely dependent upon others for it's
food, and the routine care given it.
If these are satisfactory the baby US
ually thrives but if any essential
matters are neglected, the baby often
sickens and may die.
"The best way to be sure your baby
has the care needed to keep it well,
is to secure full directions from your
doctor and to carry them out care
fully. AS the baby grows, these will
be changed from time to time in ac-
cordance with it's needs. This is the
reason it is important for the doctor
to see a young baby frequently. He
should see the baby at least once a
month during the early months. In
certain instances, he may ask, through
the health officer, that the health de-
partment nurse visit the home and as
sist the mother in carrying out his d.
rections.
'For those mothers who employ mid
wives and are not able to take their
babies regularly to the doctor the
public health nurse is of special SER
vice. The number of nurses employ
ed by the County Health Depart
ments is limited, but in each county a
call to the Health Officer requesting
that nurse visit the home to advise
an expectant mother or a mother with
a young baby will receive prompt at
tention.
"There are many ways in which an
experienced public health nurse can
be of service to a young mother with
her first baby. For instance she can
