Over PoCuHsr Case
L Chicago, Nov. 18. —The Bollinger
baby, a defective mile whose mother
on professional advice de hied it
should not undergo an operation
which would save its life, d.ed last
t night at the German-American hos
, * pital.
The subject of the propriety of sac
rificing the unpromising spark of life
Y in the infant, that it. might not grow
up a burden to itself and a poss.ble
menace to society is the subject of
widespread discussion.
Dr. H. J. Haiselden, on whose advice
the mother acted, was visited by many
medical men, and telephone calls al
ternately accused and praised him. He
remained unaltered in his conviction
that death was the greatest blessing
which could be hoped for for the in
fant.
The principal physical deformities of
the baby were the closure of the in
testinal tract, paralysis of the nerves
of the right side of the face, the ab
sence of the right ear, blindness of one
eye and malformation of its shoulders.
Dr. Haiselden, who officiated at the
birth, noted the absence of a neck.
The brain he found to be only slightly
subnormal, but the cranial nerves
were absent or undeveloped.
"If he grew up he would be a hope
less cripple and would suffer from
fits," said the doctor.
Critics of the act of the doctor and
mother cited many whom the scien
tists would today call "defectives" ,
who have brightened the world with
their lives. Among those named were
John Millon, Lord Byron, It. L.
Stevenson, De Quiney and E. A. Poe.
Helen Kellar —she was not born
with infirmities, but they came soon
afterward—blindness, deafness, loss
of power of speech. Despite all the. o
obstacles, she refused to be dis
couraged or thrown into the discard.
She is an accomplished woman today
—a benefit to the world.
THOMPSON CONFIDENT
Creditors Told He Has Assets to Pay
All Indebtedness.
TJniontown, Pa., Nov. IS. —J. V. |
Thompson, the former banker and
coal land operator, received calls
from a number of his creditors here.
He seemed to infuse confidence into
his visitors for they all appeared
cheerful when they left. Mr. Thomp
son assured creditors that he has suf
ficient assets to pay all of his indebt
edness.
A meeting of the Fayette County
Bar association will be held this after
noon to receive the report of the
creditors' committee which was in
New York last week.
DOCTOR CARRIES SHELLS
Explosion Creates Panic In Budapest

Rome, Nov. 18.—The Red Cross 1
American commission on its way from
Belgrade to Vienna arrived at Buda

wounding several onlookers.
Dr. Ryan explained that the shells
were being carried away as war relics.

There Are Eighty Regular Prison

The government of Germany oper
ates. among other things, a boarding

Europe and throughout Germany and
I his laboratories at work grinding and

Is a model, not only for economy, but
for scientific exactness.
Gives More Than Min rr tm.
The human body requires to sustain
life about 66 grams of albumen. 30
grams of fat. 380 grams of t trbohy
draus and 2.000 calories. Tie mini
mum set by Professor Backbaus for
prisoners Is greater. He requ'res that
each prisoner shall get daily J ■> grams
l of -.110001011. 40 grams of fat. A grams
of carbohydrates and 2.700 cab ries. Iu
working camps the supply must be in
creased 10 per cent.
Complaints may be made that pris
oners in Germany are not gettiug suffi
cient food. Professor Backhaus can
dispute them with this scientific evi
dence.
When Professor Backbaus took over
the boarding house work he fitted up a
laboratory in a building near the war
ministry, where he experimented with
foodstuffs and human appetites. He
first called in Russian prisoners and
set before them food. This form of
experiment did not succeed because
the Russian prisoners immediately
and without "batting" the proverbial
eye cousumed three times the food
they needed.
Instead of prisoners now he feeds his
own staff of workers on the camp diet.
I had such a lunch. It consisted of
one-third of each of the three prison
meais of a day made together into a
three course luncheon. It was a pleas-j
ant enough meal, though I should pre
fer my own iv.uk. who has less science
and a greater budget. But 1 must hon
orably testify that the food was edi- ! .
ble. even palatable. And to emphasize
the point again, it was scientifically
nourishing.
Many experiments were made with
new foodstuffs. The soja bean, a prod
uct of Manchuria, was purchased ia
large quantities, and it was found that
by grinding and pressing it a useful
table oil and a jKilatable flour resulted
which contained the highly nourish
Ing substance sought. The horse beau,
formerly used only for cattle food, was
similarly adapted for soup flour. Quan
tities of food captured in the Russian
advance were/turned over to prison
uses, always first tested and applied
to the "scientific" diet.
Buying on a Vast Scale.
The buying system for this million
guest boarding bouse is on a beflttingly
large scale. Men who bought for busi
ness houses before the war now art;
making government contracts. Nearly
1,000,000 marks ($250.0001 a day are
spent and no market open to a German
which has anything to sell at a rea
sonable price can escape these zealous
prison food buyers. The spirit that has
made army food scandals possible in
other countries cannot be found in this
ardent economy organization. Occa
sionally Professor Backbaus" buyers
find themselves competing with the
buyers for tlie army or for the garrl
son kitchen. But this happens only oc
casionally.
There are about eighty regular prison
camps and from 500 to 600 working
camps. More than a quarter of a million
prisoners are working behind the east
ern army building roads. Tbese men
receive the same food as the German
soldiers.
One of Professor Backhaus' greatest
pleasures comes from the fact that his
scientific solution of the prison food
problem has led to a saving per capita
of about 2 cents a day. which the pris
on commandants may use for special
treats for the prisoners, either In t*>e
food line or in social halls, musical t>.
struments and the like.
The work that Professor Backhaus
has done bids fair to become the stan
dard in war prison camps of the fu
ture. Already he has published a book
containing the description of his plan.

OUR MISNAMED RUINS.
The Meca Verde Cliff Dwellings Are
Really Complete Towns.
Many visitors to tl# prehistoric cliff
dwellings of the Mesa Verde National
park. In southwestern Colorado, says a
government publication, are astonished
to find that what is commonly de
scribed as a dwelling is uot properly
a dwelling at all. but a village or eity.
The celebrated Cliff Palace is not a
palace. Neither is Spruce Tree House
a house, nor Balcony House a house.
Each of these is a complete town
which once, in the dim ages before the
earliest Indian tradition, was an or
ganized community, often of consider
able size.
The arrangemeut of houses In a cliff
dwelling of the si:v of Cliff Palace, for
example, is characteristic and inti
mately associated with the distribution
of the social divisions of the inhab
itants. The population was composed
of a number of uuits. possibly clans,
each of which had its own social or
ganization more or less distinct from
others, a condition that appears in the
arrangement of rooms. The rooms oc
cupied by a cLan were not necessarily
connected, although generally neigh- '
boring rooms were distinguished from
one another by their uses.

The nickname John Bull is said to
have appeared first in a satire by Dr
John Arbuthnot called "Law Is a Bot

Bull." published in 1721. Wasbingtoi
Irving mentions the typical figure as a
"sturdy, corpulent, old fellow with a
red waistcoat, leather breeches and
short, oaken cudgel. Many Napoleonic
caricatures show John Bull represent
