MIMS IHCREASING
Public Health Nurse Lauds Vis
iting Nurse Plan in Effect At
Rochester, N. Y.
DBIKOiT, Oct. 17.—1 n spite of
national legislation and other or
ganized effort to reduce maternal j
and infant death rates, medical!
ad public health workers today are ;
having to face the fact that the j
pi esent high mortality among j
mothers is on the increase in this |
country, was the declaration made :
today by Miss Mary Laird, Direc
tor of the Public Health Nursing
Association of Rochester, N. Y. in
an address before the delegates at
tending the annual meeting of the
American Child Health Association
Hotel Statler. Miss Laird’s I*
was, “Can the Public Health ,
Nurse Do More to Reduce the
Heath Rate of Mothers and In
fants?”
“AJter» two and a half years,
[ study of the nursing needs of the
city,” said Miss Laird, tracing the
development of this first experi
ment in working out a visiting
nurse service for Rochester, ‘twe
were convinced that the most neg
lected phase of nursing work in
Rochester was skilled nursing care
for its mothers. So we started in
tensive maternity work in one dis-
L triet in conjunction wth the gener
| al service. Our plan was to in
i' crease the number of nurses and
I have a continuous service, begin
| ning with prenatal care and main
' tamed through the mother’s* con
| valescence, all done by the same
I nurse in her sub-division of the
E district.
gj. "We were first attracted to. this
E district for our demonstration he
ro cause of the increasing numbers of
K our mothers working for wages
g either in the home or in the fae
■ lories and by the fact that all of
? the babies admitted to the Infant’s
I Summer Hospital from this district
I showed greater neglect than the
babies from any of our other dis
tricts.
Describing the efforts of the
new maternity clinic to bring its
pre-natal service to expectant
mothers through the assistance of
the practitioners of the district,
Miss Laird made a plea for more
adequate training of the physician
and the nurse from more funda
mental maternity health stand
points during their medical and
training course. The medical and
nursing schools might protest, she
said, against putting' one more
thing into their already overcrowd
ed Curricla.
FIND BODY OF BABE
WKAfThI) UN PAPER
ALBANY, Out. 17. —The body
of an unidentified - baby was dis
covered Saturday afternoon near
the old negro cemetery just north
of the Georgia Northern trestle on
kthe west side of the Flint river, re-
PAnaihs unidentified, Persons who
viewed the little body declared
that it was decomposed to such a
degree that it was impossible to
say if it was the body of a white
child or a negro. It was wrapped
in an old shirt and an Atlanta
newspaper bearing the date of
June 26, but there were no marks
of positive identification. Police
and sheriff’s officers made an in
vestigation, but there was nothing
discovered leading to Hhei'dentity
of the child or the cause of its
body being unearthed. Opinion
was expressed in some quarters
that the body had been buried in
the negro cemetery and that some
animal scratched it up.

lodged and for whose arrest the
officers were out recently at night
when the sheriff and Bert Cain
fired upon each other, each think
ing the other was the negro. Jones
ran away and later was located in
Detroit.
Sheriff Noble secured extradi
tion paper and had a fight of more
than a week in the Detroit courts
but had to leave Jones when his
case was appealed. Sheriff Noble
left today at noon for Detroit upon
receipt of a telegram in which he
was ready for him. It is probable
that he has expended all the
money he had in the effort by le
gal precess to keep from returning
to Cordele for trial.

scribe the misery I endured from
lame back several years ago. When 1
did my washing terrible pains shot
through the small of my back. 1 had
such severe backaches I had to go to
bed. My kidneys acted too freely. !
tired easily and hated to get out of
bed mornings. 1 was so nervous J
was almost ready to fly to pieces. 1
used Doan’s Kidney Pills and two
