The importance d the right kind of food cannot be overestimated, and the right kind of feed, for both baby and mother must' t•Titain plenty of vitamins. What Kvery Mother Knows every modern mother knows how ■i.*.-.ary sieved vegetables are T<i -jrudement milk in the diet of ha rness. If there be any mother who te’/bts this,.she need only to ask her rector. Such an eminent authority on rabies, for example. as 1 >r. Wiii'am Ur Kim Marriott. II.

And, since these sug gestions have been published, ether physicians have found that sieved vegetables are tolerated by infants at two months or even younger. But cooking and sieving fresh veg etables in the home kitchen is a long, estious and wasteful job. A greater ruanlity of vegetable than is neces sary is purchased and prepared. When wrought home from the market, that start of the vegetable which it not good must be thrown away, and this may amount to 10 or 20 per cent of he vegetable bought. Or, perhaps the quantity prepared at once will not teep, and the mother decides later not So use it again. What Every Mother Doesn’t Know What every mother doesn't know is .hat home preparation usually de stroys a good part of the important' vitamins, and that she can now get sieved vegetables in cans scientifical-: ty prepared so that they retain more ! •dtamins than those prepared at home. With these sieved vegetables there is no picking over, no throwing away, no long cooking, no mashing, no siev *ig»j»o straining. They come all ready to warm and serve, and are of a con sistency suitable for infant digestions. The best brantls of these convenient Saby foods have been indorsed by the committee on foods of the American ; Medical Association, and are allowed i 1<o use its seal of acceptance on their ' ans. This means that the scientists! of the American Medical- Association have independently checked every step of their processing. However, every producer of these {bods will tell you that no mother should think of feeding her baby any thing which was not recommended by her own physician who prescribes his Met. Sq be sure, before including any •of these new pureed foods in your baby's diet, to ask your doctor about qpiantities and his advice about using 'hem. With Scientific Care Some of these sieved vegetables are _ and some are not. One brand is pot up in a sanitary enamel 1 -cans, carries mi its label a guar of the exact amount of vita A, B and C, which its sieved contain. And the proof thh guarantee is absolutely de means exactly what it fact that this is one i which has bey accepted n ill i»S>s. ini fa * Dressing Ip the Hamburg By Jane Rogers TODAY on every hand we are urged to be thriftv — to give ^ more thought to simple menus, in , which the loss expensive dishes predominate.

Private Diagnostic Clinic At Duke A Boon To People Of North Carolina birthday parties are usually cele brated by receiving, but on the second anniversary of the opening of Duke Hospital, at Durham, a sort of sum mary of the service given to North Carolina featured the event. It has not taken the multitude of magazine articles running at intervals for a long; time to impress upon the public the fact that only the rich and the poor ear. afford to be sick. The rich can, and do. afford the services of speci al who have spent a fortune on preparing themselves for their special 1 ine of '.vork and. when necessary, ar handed front one specialist to another until the real trouble is found. The poor cannot do this but often have it d'uu for them making practically two classes of patients for specialists -the rich and charity cases. Thus, the middle class are left with the gen eral practitioner, who certainly has his place it) the medical profession, and a very high place too, but this same general practitioner often wants a specialist for consultation and it is there that the average person must draw the line for financial reasons. It has gradually worked around that the masses are too often left without proper treatment and this is especial ly true under the i.resent economic conditions. People v. h.o have always paid hills would "hi er suffer in si lence than to have *■, go into a chari ty clinic and. it - nil too often the case, that the di-'-n-v has taken such a firm hold that ' - then incurable. Many times this ,s the "bread winner" of the family. " id n makes condition - oil the woi' e. fee matter o! infect ing other member- of the' family has also proven a !> g factor m such cas es, resulting in a hat appeared to be unselfishness on toe part of the sh'< person, bringing about almost un manageable conditions. A Provision Is Made No institution is thoroughly un selfish in it's motives, and Duke Hos pital, while it has the reputation of being a “charitable institution” and does a great deal of charity, is real- ; Iv no exception. On September loth, Hl.'ll, a Private Diagnostic Clinic was; started at Duke Hospital. This Clinic was established for several reasons, j after realizing the wide need for such hy Dr. VV. C. Davidson, dean of the 1 school of medicine. The public need was obivious. Assembled at Duke were several of the finest specialists j in the country and the point was to j bring the public in touch with these j men—perhaps it would be better stat- j ed, to bring these specialists within reach of the public. The staff as sembled and carefully worked out tentative plans, basing the terms of this proposed private clinic on the terms of the Dispensary, which was established soon after the hospital opened for those who could not af ford to secure the services of private doctors. A Dispensary is practical ly a necessity in connection with a medical school in 'order for the in ternes to have the opportunity to ob serve practical treatment of cases un der practicing physicians and teach ers. Thus, the specialists decided that the same plan would prove effective for people of moderate means, and they W'ere willing to fall in line with such venture. So it was, that health was put upon a business basis in this Private Diganostic Clinic. The Plan—A Business First of all, a business manager was selected, Wm, F. Franck, whose on the cans. Biological assays of the finished products of this brand made by Dr. Walter H. Eddy, of Teachers’ Col lege, Columbia University, have de termined not only the exact vitamin potency of each, but also that each provides a generous supply of pro teins, calories and mineral salts. Safer and Moye Sanitary 'These sieved vegetables of various brands offered to mothers not merely to save them time, trouble and ex pense, but to provide them with a better, safer and mere sanitary pro duct' than they make at home, now include spinach, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, green peas, prunes, yep table soup end purees of mixed vege duty it was to meet the patients and discuss finances with them. There is a maximum and minimum fee set for. the patients before any doctor is call ed in consultation. The average cost runs around $.'15.00, with $50.00 the maximum. It is possible to pet through for less money provided tests and x-ray work make it possible. Us ually a patient whose case requires specialists must have a preat many tests and x-ray pictures and can easily rati up a bill for these items alone of fifty dollars, then there is no monej left for the actual treatment of the average person. This charge for diagnosis is not a “holdup" affair, ."either is it a “pay as you enter," for a preat many people, especially at this time, are payinp the entire bill in a lump. It is quite possible to divide the payments in a satisfactory man ner to the prospective patient. The patients themselves made this method practicable, they would ask, in a busi ness-like manner, what the cost df such and such treatment would be be fore poinp into it. Business condi tions made it necessary. The Diap nostic Clinic proper is based upon the plan and operated in a similar fashion to the Mayo Diupnostic Clinic. Such a Clinic, however, is rather a new idea and there is, so far as is made public not another m N’orth Carolina. Hop kins had one for about six years, Cornell for ten, Massachusetts Gen e:.d for twenty, with a new one at Mt. t-mai. V V.. and at Piedmont, in A ' i: a. There are a pood many in T dinV is not for treatment, al though treatment will follow the diap iio.-i'. v. Inm dedrod. It is a requir ing! I teat the patient, whether re ferred to the Piapnostic Clinic by the family physician or not, to pive the name of the physician, and a letter is written to the home doctor, pivinp the findinps in detail and, when desired, suppests treatment. There is no de sire on the part of the doctors them selves, nor the committee who form ed the clinic, to supplant the family doctor. It was established partly as an aid to the family doctors, or any doctor who found diagnosis obscure. The aim of the clinic was to approxi made an ideal private diagnostic ser vice with a maximum of time, effort and cost to the patient and a maxi mum of interchange of opinion be tween members of the staff. Obvious ly, the doctors employed in this diag nostic work do not pet as large a fee as from the old plan, but it enables the doctors to render the service needed today and in return, they have the benefit of consulting with each other and learning from each other in a far more efficient manner than under the private patient plan. Since the clinic was established in September and the first patient ar rived, no press notices have been is sued for furthering the cause of this Diagnostic Clinic. The first week the first patient sent four friends, who, in turn, have sent others, but the gen eral public are not informed. There have been 565 patients enrolled in this new venture that will, in all probabi lity, prove to be a vital factor and a pattern for similar organizations that will go far toward health conditions in the state in the years to come. Burglars Flee When Storekeeper Opens Up With Shot Gun Trinity, Rt. 1, Aug 1.—Mt. Pleas ant M. P. church held a series of revival meetings which was closed Friday evening, Rev. Whitehead from Duke University being the pastor’s help, Rev. Whitehead delivered some very able sermons. Much interest was shown in the meeting. Tom Pierce’s store was broken open last Thursday night. Much goods were taken on the outside. When they opened "the cash drawer it turn ed on the burglar alarm which awak ened Mr. Pierce and by his quiclc re spond to the alarm by firifeg bis gun caused the burglars to leave all the goods and their own brace aad bit, •dtich they used to enter the store. WHY HOW1. WHEN TIMES 1LAVK BEEN MI CH WORSE The Truth About Conditions—Based On Actual Facts, Not On Panicky Theories. Tf»e following article in the York- r ville Enquirer might just as well ap- j 1 ply to citizens of Asheboro and Ran- 1 dolph county: A youm married woman in York ville was almost weeping, the other i day about how everybody in this ( town was poverty stricken, and all the merchants near bankruptcy her s own salary had just been cut, but ) Yorkville merchants of ability and energy were reporting sales holding i up well. 1 The newspapers of South Carolina | have been full of wailing about the i: depression putting the whole state into the pauper class, and hundreds of politicians have been bewailing the deep blue color of things under the Palmetto trees—some of them to camouflage their scrappings the bot tom of the -tate treasury for money j to throw to their own chickens, some! of them frvm the habit of always, viewing things with alarm during aj Republican occupancy of the White i House, and some of them from just j plain gulibility and listening to others.! All over America, there are per-' sons who are continually playing the Depression Blues on their croon- , ing saxaphones, determined to insist that these United States are going to | the demnition bowwows—some parlor] pink communists, some real reds tin- , xious to have Russian soviets in this country, and some good American , citizens still bilious from overeating before 1929. and some ignorant folk, who never made the least effort to get facts about actual conditions in America today. Editor Deserves a Wreath In sharp distinction to this sort of imaginative complainers and crooners is the editor of Collier’s a national . weekly, who look the pains and did, the hard work of'getting some actual: facts to talk about. He deserves to be crowned with a ! laurel breath for his work, and if) his editorial in Collier’s for July 9,: does not get the Pulitzer prize for] 1932, the judges will have made an j erroneous award. Colliers, while no- j mtnally independent, is distinctly Democratic in its political partizan- j ship. The editorial referred to here says: There’s no argument in this edi torial. It’s merely a collection of facts incontrovertible, eloquent facts; that confound those who profess to see Aanerica slipping down into a state of effortless despair. More Money Than In Boom America’s mutual savings bank do-; posits are $1,2:;::,000,000 higher than they were at the peak of the boom three years ago. Total bank savings today exceed $29,000,000,000 equal to more than ( $1 ,(>00 for every family in the land. Savings deposits number 52,000,000, nearly two per family. The number of Americans owning; stock has increased almost 40 per j cent since 1920. A group of 102 companies which; had 5,539,096 stockholders at the end j of the boom year had 7,675,143] stockholders at the beginning of this J year.

Our total stock of gold is $4,000 000,000. No other country ever pos- : sessed so much. Britain, for example, has only .'.’mS,000,000. Currency in circulation aggregates j $5,464,000,009, or $700,000,000, more j than in the boom. A recent offering of 450,000,000 of ] U. S.

HOW TO DOUBLE THE LIFE OF I SHOES Everybody that wears shoes should be interested in a method for mak ing shoes last twice as long at a cost not to exceed 10 cents per pair. It is given in the current issue of The Progressive Farmer-Ruralist as fol lows: t. Clean the shoes'thoroughly, dry ing them slowly if water is used. 2. Then when shoes are thoroughly ! dry and warm, rub in with the hands j a mixture made of melting together | equal parts of tallow (or mutton (suet) and neat’s-foot oil. (This mixt I ure may also be used: petrolatum, 12 i ounces, and beeswax, 2 ounces, or this mixture: tallow, 12 ounces, and ! cod liver oil, 4 ounces.) ;i. Apply with the hands until no more will be absorbed, then rub well with j, soft rag. 4. if the shoes are placed in a shallow dish or pan and allowed to stand n this mixture (kept»varm) (for 20 or 30 minutes, the whole shoe will then be treated.
