That Baby should have a bed of its own all are agreed. Yet it is more regsonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use a man’s medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would be tolerated by specialists in children’s diseases. Your Physician will tell you that Baby’s medicine must be pre- pared with even greater care than Baby’s food. A Baby’s stomach when in good health'is too often disarranged by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving to your ailsng child anything but a medicine especially prepared for In- fants and Children ? Don’t be deceived. Make a mental note of this:—It is important, Mothers, that you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnormal that the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily pre- pared for grown-ups.

Senator Ball, chairman of the Dis- trict committee, today introduced a bill to regulate the practice of medi- cine in the District of Columbia. The bill, it is understood, has the backing of the medical association of the Dis- itrict. A ‘board of medical licensure Is provided for in the bill, to be appointed by the District Commis- sloners and to be composed of six le- gally qualified practitioners of medi- cine In good standing, residents of the District, and three other members not physicians. One of these other members is to be a lawyer and one an educator. At no time is the board to lave more than three practitioners of any one system of medicine. The bill provides in detail the | system of the issue of licenses to prac- | tice medicine and standards which must be obtained by applicants for licenses. Senator Ball said today that he would endeavor to get up the bill amending the Ball rent act so as to extend the life of that seven months. This bill has been on the Senate calendar for nearly a month, and its supporters realize that { unless some steps are taken soon it will {be Impossible to put the bill through { prior to October 22, when the Ball rent 1 act expires. 1t is likely that Senator Ball will move to take the measure up late today or tomorrow. —_— PLAYGROUND ADVOCATES | CONTINUE CONFERENCES education and Mrs. Lucy R. Swanton and Philip Walker Call on Commis- sioner Oyster. Advocates of a comprehensive play- grounds development program con- tinued their conferences with District officials today relative to the adoption of a plan which will recelve the ac- tive support of the Commissioners. Mrs. Luoy R. Swanton, chairman of the program committee of the united citizens’ playgrounds committee, and Philip Walker, a member of the com- mittee, called upon Commissioner Oyster this morning and ascertained his views as to the most effective way to_prosecute their campaign. Yesterday Mrs. Swanton and other workers in_the movement saw Com- missioner Rudolph and Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, superintendent of the playgrounds department. It is the in- tention of the committee to make an exhaustive survey of school and mu- nicipal playgrounds, after which it probably will ask the aid of the Dis- trict Commissioners in presenting to the Senate and House District com- mittees a bill authorizing purchase of sites for new playgrounds. Estimates for new playgrounds probably will not be recommended to the House appropriations committee until the District committee has re- ported out a bill authorizing the im- provements.

Bchlobohm, attorney representing Mrs. Ruby Murray, sister of the girl. Alleging that the girl's confinement now constitutes cruelty and injustice, the petition cites that Miss Curtis, when about fourteen years of age, was de- prived of parental control through the death in 1917 of her father and mother and that she became incorrigible and was convicted of Incorrigibility sent | to the training 8chool by Judge Kathryn Sellers of the Juvenile Court. She will remain at the training school until she is twenty-one years old, under the court order, unless clemency Is granted. Mrs. Murray's statement points out that her sister should be relcased now because she has been confined for a long time and should be given a chance to redeem herself in the eyes of the world. : In an accompanyling petition, Attor- ney Schlobohm alleges that the pro- bation officer, Miss T. E. Ewinger, in charge of the National Training School for Girls during the absence from the city of the superintendent, Mrs. Griffith, declined to permit Miss Curtis to sign the petition for execu- tive clemency. The attorney explains that umler the laws in the District of Columbia civil guardianship ceases when a girl becomes eighteen years old, but that Miss Curtis was committed to the institution under an act providing for her retention ‘until tweny-one years of age.
