Dispute Over Feeding of
6 Months' Old Infant
A mother with her 6-months-old
infant called on Superintendent T.
H. Weirich of the Board of Public
Welfare and complained that when
the baby cried in the middle of the
night, her first aid was to admin
ister such nourishment as woyjd ap
peal to an infant of that age. Her
husband insisted that the baby, was
merely thirsty, and in the manner
of a lord and master, he prescribed a
drink of cold water for their first
born. This contrariety of opinion
led to a family row in the middle of
the night.
The welfare superintendent sum
moned husband and wife to appear
before mm, together with the baby.
He told the husband that it was
commendable for him to display
such an interest-in his child, but ad
vised him that there are limits be
yond which even a father should not
go in the matter of caring for his
own offspring.
