CARE OF BABIES

TRUBY KING METHODS

PRESS MATTER WHICH PAYS.

London, Oct. -8

New Zealanders will be interested to learn that yet another English weekly has found that it pays to :un pages on “Truby King” lines. Money counts in Fleet street, so this amounts to commercial recognition; and is al! the more interesting as it comes on the top of some critical remarks made at a recent medical congress on dealing with babies by post. Many years ago Dr. King sug. gested that if he were given the par ticulars of her baby by an intelligent mother he could from New Zealand regulate its feeding aim nabrts in Timbuctoo.

Miss Liddiard- -the matron of the London Centre run on New Zealand lines—made the Woman’s Pictoral by her letters to mothers. South African mothers living nt great distances from railheads appreciated letters from Miss Paterson while she lectured throughout the ITnion—appreciated them so much that, having been shown how they could rear healthy, happy babies from such advice, Dutch and English mothers cooperated, probably for the first time, and secured a mothercraft training school, and a New Zealander, versed in the most approved methods, ns matron.

A- lecture delivered to the Women Citizens’ Association in Edinburgh was followed by a letter to the editor of Good Housekeeping suggesting mothercraft articles on modern fines —this now implies New Zealand lines —and two will shortly appear.
