—_———— VISITING NURSES ACTIVE IN' JULY Work During Month at Higher Point Than in 1928 Miss Rachel Colby, director of the Visiting Nurse assoclation today is- | sued the following statement review- ing the activities of the association | for July. “The work of the Visiting Nurse association for the past month has just been reviewed and reveals fayv- | orable progress over July, one year ago. “This is true in particular, is the effort which the nurses have made | to cooperate with the United Par- ent and Teacher association. Assist- ance was given at five schools where physical examinations were made for children who are entering school for the first time this fall; 239 chil- dren were so examined by doctors who contributed their time for this . Durpose and 588 visits were made by the nurses to the homes of these children, in an effort to assist in the correction of the physical de- f revealed by the examinations. The dental clinic conducted by the city, the hoard of public wel- fare, the welfare association and the New Britain hospital have also contributed to make it possible for free and part pay treatments to be given to children who could not have been helped otherwise. “In point of new patients, exclu- sive of the pre-school children ad- mitted in July, 244 new cases of va- rious types were admitted by the nurses, against 271 in July 1928. “A total of 2662 visits was made by the staff of ten nurses on duty, as compared with 1770 made eight nurses in July last year. “At the 17 well baby conferences held weekly in four different tions of the city, 41 new babies tended for the first time. The at- tendance numbered 330 babies, as compared with 226 babies who at- tended the conferences during t same month one year ago. was given in me of delivery, 15 patients who were unable to go to the hospital for their confine- ments. Ten of fhese patients had had the advantage of some prenatal care by the doctor and nurse, and more adequate care was providad for them because the nurse was called in time to render her trained sistance at the time of the birth. More prenatal visits are being made by the nurses, and, in conse- quence, bettter prenatal care is be- ing provided for expectant mothers in New Britain, than ever before.

PUTTING TASTE INTO COOKERY Tour Women Experts Redis- cover Old Secret An old secret rediscovered by four well-known women cooking ex- perts is worth the attention of every waman in the United States. Vege- tables are rated by scientists with milk and fruits as essential foods. Anything that will make good vege- tables more delicious, hence more widely eaten, is of importance to the national health. That is exactly the problem these ‘women experts were working on— howrto make vegetables so delicious that every member of the family will enjoy them and eat them. They cooked vegetables in many ways. They worked and tasted patiently. All voted unanimously in every case in favor of vegetables cooked in little water and with the addi- tion of a dash of sugar. How sim- ple—yet how far-reaching! Try this simple rule today with beets, peas, string beans, lima beaps, corn, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, squash, onisns, tomatoes, cucumbegs ach, asparagus, beet greens and celery, Try using a little sugar and just notice the difference in flavor. Remember it does not make the vegetables taste sweet. It nikes them fresher, brighter and better. Add also a little sngar to meat and vegetable soup blends. Watch how it brings out the flavors of the meats and vegztables. A little sugar promotes successful cookery. Good food promotes good health, The Sugar Institute, (looked up and down T {inz about, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HE RALD.

Miss Smith seems to have been an weet- heart of Bob Newton, Rita's father. ‘While Molly is getting settled in| Boston, preparations are being made in New York for the presen- tation of her second play, “Sacr fice.” Meantime, Elsie Smith come to call.
