SLOPPY FOOD
MILK AND BISCUITS. BAD FOR THE BABY. A DOCTOR’S WARNING. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPY RIGHT Received 9.10 a.m. to-day. LONDON, Jan. 4. A serious warning against the sloppy food administered by fond mothers was told in these words by Doctor Livingston, dental surgeon at London University, at a conference of health nurses:— “I do not think there is anything in which microbes grow better than milk and biscuits pulped and given to little Willie before going to bed. The sticky, starchy', sloppy food ferments all night, and two months later Willie awakens with toothache. The microbes get into the nerves and blood and -the poison spread-s. Willie develops tuberculosis glands, is rushed to a hospital and is pulled round by fifty or sixty people, including doctors, nurses, surgeons and charwomen. Little Willie a little later is added to the wreckage that produces Bolshevism. My advice to- mothers is: ‘Don’t do it.’ ”
