BY HAROLD MATSON NEA Service Writer BOSTON, October 13.—Babies in Boston are starting off in the world with their feet flat on the ground. There'll be no mixing of babies. Too many times the child of Irish parents has found itself with Swed ish parents, and vice versa, as the case might be. But the mites are done with such carelessness. They’re standing up and declaring them selves. So it is that every baby born in the Boston City Hospital, some 1000 or more a year, makes his first tangible impression upon the world standing on his feet. Soleprints are being taken of each infant as it enters the world. This, the latest device to insure pos itive identification, is supposed to Up as infallible as fingerprints are with adults. “The fingers of a new-born baby are too soft to make a print im pression,” Dr. Reginald Margeson, in charge of the sole print work. “It was the idea of Professor Wilder, of Smith Col lege, to take sole prints and we are doing it with great success.” ( To double insure identification both the baby and its mother are registered before they leave the de livery room—the baby by sole prints and the mother by finger prints. “Not only does this precaution trimmed with white fur. Mrs. Dick Brinson won the top score prize, two hand embroidered handkerchiefs, and the honorees were presented with dainty hand kerchiefs. Late in the afternoon after the conclusion of the game a delicious salad course with tea was served, by the hostess assisted by Mrs. T. ' F. Gatewood Jr. Invited to meet Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Hightower, were Mrs. William ' Randolph, MrS. Alton Cogdell, Mrs. Middleton McDonald, Mrs. Frank H. Boyd, Mrs. E. J. Eldridge, Mrs. ■ Dick Brinson, Mrs. James Lott, 1 Mrs. Hamilton Holt, Mrs. Evan Mathis, Mrs. Eugene Cato. * * * * , EAST CHURCH AND PRINCE [ CIRCLE MEETS WEDNESDAY. ; A meeting of the East church • and Prince streets sewing circle ' will be held Wednesday afternoon at n:3O o’clock at the home of Mrs. ■ H. K. Ertzberger, on East church • street. Every member is urged to r be present, and those who have I scraps are requested to bring them. [» ♦ * EAST AMERICUS CIRCLE ’ MEETS WEDNESDAY. The members of the East Ameri cus sewing circle are requested to meet Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 o’clock with Mrs. A. Pantone, at her home on Oglethorpe avenue. A full attendance is urged. 5 i Mrs. F. M. Smith left Saturday . for Hartfield to spend sever"! ■ weeks with her daughter, Mrs. John Butler. Mrs. W. H. Bowers left today for Atlanta, where she will spend several days visiting various floral '. shops in order to get new ideas on the arrangement and color combina ’ tions of flowers, to be used in the , sale of her flowers from her home on Jackson street. 1 Mr. and Mrs. A. S’. Hughes, have returned to their home in F:‘z gerald, after a visit of two weeks to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. 1 Hughes at their home on College 1 street, who accompanied them home ' for a visit of several days. I Mixed Babies! _ Now X La Z LJ JI T'Tw \ ■■ \ \a >Ti \ faW \w J / HERE’S HOW BOSTON HOSPITAL TAKES IMPRESSIONS OF pro-tect the babies true identifica tion, says Dr. Margeson, “but it also serves in cases where a mother, re leased from the hospital, abandons her child on the doorsteps of some strangers homq. “The days of foundlings are over,” he continues, “for an aban doned baby, brought here To the soleprint office, would be readily identified and its mother located.” Dr. Margeson declares that moth ers are leaving the city hospital with lighter hearts than they used to, for there was always the chance that the child they held was not their’s. Besides the soleprints each infant is identified by bracelets; one of adhesive tape with his name written on it, and the other of let ter beads, the letters spelling the child’s name It all sounds very simple, and it is once done, but some of the more ambitious babies are fretful with « MU«ak»KMfa*MM>l THERE’S THE ATTIC —with Sheetrock you can REMODEL IT _ rP is safe to say that in nine homes out of ten in this city, the attic remains unfinished — the same as the day the house was built. Change it to a good-looking, useful room or two— a place for the children to play, an extra bedroom, or a radio station for “the boy.” Sheetrock will do it. Sheetrock makes solid, fireproof, permanent walls * and ceilings at low cost. Just nail the broad, high sheets of gypsum to the joists or studding.

But eventual ly every baby’s print is there and as long as we have the records that child can be identified.” In years to come, when this gen eration of soleprmted babies grow up, there’ll be no more romantic stories of mistaken identity, sons of kings raised as gypsies, men with Patrick blood raised as Isidor. The wrinkle or the whorl on his foot will preserve his identity. In the meantime, mothers at the Boston City Hospital are not so frightened to be separated from their babies as they are in institu tions where the soleprint has not . yet ieen introduced. IISffIMLS IT Sim HOWL Have Their Own County Club List of Graduates for 1924 MILLEDGEVILLE. Oct. 11— Each year the girls from Sumtir county attending the State Normal School at Athens, organize a coun ty club, the purpose of which i- ;o .ii'imr tnt' girls together tor intel lectual and social purpo-. ;. Through this club the girls con: ■ to know each other better and get in touch with girls from different parts of the county and therefore can work together for the betterhient cf our county. During the year 1923-24 we had twenty members. This is the larg est number of girls from our coun ty' that has ever attended S. N. S. at the same time . This year we Bi They are standardized in order to bring about uni form therapeutic efficiency to the patient whenever required. This efficiency is most needed in the sick room —not merely in the laboratory. ' . ‘1 What is true of drugs must be true of foods. Purity an d efficiency in the can is only part of the problem —purity and efficiency in the kitchen is the true test. The law requires that baking power contain 12% leavening gas at the time of sale to the consumer. This measure insures uniform leavening efficiency and protects the health of the public. In order to comply with this fixed standard for bak- L’Wli ’ ng P oWf^er ’ manufacturers must produce and pack the i r Product so as to avoid the deterioration which may result from absorption of atmospheric moisture. Baking Powder manufacturers to avoid violation of the law, also spend thousands of dollars yearly in ' testing grocers’ stocks and removing ’’spent” goods from his shelves, in spite of the fact that every pos sible precaution had previously been taken against deterioration.. S-0 tlie exception of Texas, the pure food laws are not applied to bak* ing powder mixed with flour at the mill and sold in bags as “Self Rising Flour.” There is no penalty on the manufacturers if this fails to.“self rise”—the consumer is the “goat”—he is the one that pays the penalty p . through indigestion and ill health that comes from eating bakings that are not Properly raised. The standardization of baking powder is a pro tection to both the consumer and the manufacturer—who welcomes |||||| such laws and co-operates in every way possible. But! Not so with the self rising flour manufacturer—he resents such laws and fights such legislation. Why? Because a standardization of self ris ing flour would require moisture-proof containers instead of cheap sacks £ —because low grade “clears” could no longer be sold as “fancy patent flour.” It would also mean he must maintain expert chemical control such as is now maintained by baking powder manufacturers. Calumet Baking Powder contains only such ingredients as have been °ffi c * a PP rove d by the U. S. Food Authorities.
