HEALTH CLINIC
FOR MOTHERS
State Board of Health Advis-
es Mothers at Well Child
Clinic Here
PRENATAL CARE

Health advise was received by
the mothers of 3,612 new children
attending one of the "a State Board
of Health Well Child Conferences
scattered all over the state, this is
813 more new children attending
and more clinics established than
there were in the state in 1871, ac-
cording to DR.. Marion Hotopp, act
ing director of the Division OF Ma
ternal and Child Health. In Kent
County there are 3 Well Child
Health Conferences located in the
following places: Smyrna, Dover
and Milford.
Keep Children Well
DR.. Hotopp states that the main
purpose of these clinics is to keep
children well. Advise is given on
such topics as feeding, rest, elm
nation, care of the skin, habits and
behavior problems. A physician is
present once a month at most of
the clinics to examine the children
and see that they are growing
properly. He also examines them
for physical defects in order that
these may be discovered and cor
rected at an early age. Dental
hygienists are present periodically
and check on the children's teeth.
With more physicians being called
for service with the armed forces,
the use of these clinics by Della
ware mothers has increased. Last
year about $4,000 visits were made
to the Boards Well Child Confer
ences held in "a places in the
state.
Increase in Births
mot only is there a shortage of
physicians but an increase of moth
ers and babies, as usually occurs in
wartime" says DR.. Hotopp. In
Delaware last year 1904 babies
were born, an increase of 21O over
the previous year and the rate is
rising. Now that the doctors are
so rushed it is very difficult for
them to spend as much time as
formerly instructing their pre-na-
tai patients. The Board of Health
nurses are trying to fill this gap by
making more visits to the homes
of prospective mothers because
good prenatal care is very import
ant for the health of both the
mothers and the babies. Doctors
may request this service and mid
wives cases are visited routinely.
Last year 1,248 prenatal visits
were made by the Board of Health
nurses, 331 of them in Kent Coun-
ty.
After Baby Comes
The Board of Health nurses are
also putting more time into visit
ing the mothers and babies right
after delivery if the baby is born
at home or as son as the mother
and baby come home from the hos
pital, according to DR.. Hotopp.
They show the mother how to pre-
pare his formula if he is so unfor-
tunate as not to be breast fed.
Most mothers feel more at ease
with their new babies if they have
a friendly, helpful, nursing visit,
and it is theirs for the asking.
There were 1888 post-natal visits
made in 1912, of these 452 were in
Kent. Mothers who are not able
to have a family physician care for
themselves and their children are
welcome to use any of these Board
of Health services. An expectant
mother should register early and
receive the series of 9 prenatal
letters, telling her how to care for
her own health during this period
Early medical supervision is one of
the important things in insuring a
healthy mother and child, accord
ing to DR.. Hotopp.

baton of Sergt. Dom Chown of

the presentation. The magnifi-
cent and varied choruses of the
oratorio were sung by the Choir
us of so with such precision of
attack and unity of diction that
every word in every chorus was
clearly understood.
Highlight of the soloists were
Mrs. c. H. r. Mackenzie, whose
vocal talents were supplemented
by truly professional contrast,
when she swung from the wild
ows lament to JOY when Elijah
caused her son TO rise from the
dead.

voice, carried the main bass role,
reaching his high point in the
aria, 1T is Enough.

R)-How three whiSkey stills
were found in Georgia's state
penitcntiary prior to the mass
escape of % of the institution S
toughest convicts, was revealed

prison canning plant, in a wing
of the main building, and that
two smaller ones had been found.
The discoveries were made

This disclosure came after
DuVall told how convicts plan
ned weeks in advance for last
Fridays mass break, working
hour after hour to cut through
specially hardened bars with

in place with soap. Confessions
by two recaptured prisoners aid
ed in the revelation.
