CHILDREN DECLINEIN HEALTH 1 LONG BEFORE SCHOOL AGE Sr. David Forsyth. English Medical In spector. Says There Is Wide spread Deterioration During Fir.. Four or Five Years of Life . Washington, I*. C., April 2. —Taat •peeial medicaattention should i>e given to children in tie four or five early years before s.'hool begins is asserted by Dr. David Forsyth, an English pfcysi- E, whose views are publisncd in a etin just issued by the United es Bureau of Education. Dr. Forsyth declares rha: medical inspection of ele-' mentarv school ehi'.dren points to a wide-spread physical deterioration dur ing the first four or five years or life, •which leaves the majority of children with serious "but preventable defects. •' Littie or nothing has been done as yet by way of solution." says Dr. For syth. "Preventive measures limited to the first years are unlikely to have much , influence in warding off later troubles. A gap, at prreeat uuabr. Iged, stretches from the first year to the fifth, wheu the school medical inspection begins."' As a suggested remedy Dr. Forsyth describes a •■■lan adopted in the city of Westminster. Et gland. In January, ISI2, a medical inspection cuter was! opened for children of school age in the' north half of tie city. Here a staff of j health visitors is maintained, to get into ; touch at once with every family where a child is newly born. Through this staff every child in the district is icpt | under me.li.al supervision from th«r time of its birth until the end of its fifth year, the j-urpose being to hand the c'itiKi over sound and healtfty, to the school authorities. Of 374 children examined during the first year of the center. 131 were under 1 year of age, "7 under 2 years, S3, 50 and 33 under 3. 4 and 5 years,. T*?pectively. The medical record cards! showed a rapid rise in the tide of dis ease with each year of life. It was found 1 t.bat while most children in the firs* period are healthy, ociy a smalt minor- • ity come through to the fifth year with- : out at least one physical defeat of some ' kind. Dr. Forsyth concludes: "Large num iKrs of children, heaithy in all respects K: birth, become wishin five years the physically defective entrants whom the education authority is required, at no cmali cost, to restore, so far as possible, to their original state of health. Yet ■lost of these cases are preventable, or,, if taken in time, can be remedied more •peedilv, and therefore more cheaply, than if left until school age, by whi-h time not a few will have received per manent damage—physical or mental. The problem of roe defective child largely resolves itself into the crobleni of rhe under-school age child, and seems hardly likely to be solved by any thing short of a general plan insuring to all children regular medical supervision from birtih to school age. And this, to be fully successful, must run side by nde with educational measures for in structing the mothers themselves who. From ignorance far more than from M-illful neglect or even from indigence, *re unable to safeguard their children 'a kealth." You—Or No One Bso ~~ T cares to be bald.

WHISKEY BY SYPHON ROUTE Supply for the Prisoners in an Indiana < Jail 4 I Frankfort, Ind., April 2. —For some time Sheriff Miller was aware that the prisoners in the county jail were being ; supplied with liquor, but the manner in 1 which it was smuggled iu to the pris-! ! oners could not be detected. Sheriff Miller learned hpw the liquor was obtained. On the west side of the jail there is a window near the ground and the person on the outside ( would pass a piece of rubber tubing through the bars to the prisoners, f 1 hey would put the end into some sort i of a -eeeptade and the person on the i outside would put the other end into j the bottle of liquor and this would' make a siphon, which would quickly! ■drain the bottle and give the prisoners ' a supply of liquor. The window has been closed up with i sheet iron. STRANGER SAVES HER HOME S'i.VH) Enables Mrs. Schmidt to Keep 95.000 Place.

It was sold , by sheriff Kinkead for s3St> to satisfy the S2OO claim.

Philadelphia. These are the latest pictures of the war, pictures made in Germany. East Poland, West Poland and France. The two films showing the Kaiser at the front are remarkable and have been presented at the Smithsonian Institute twice. General Von Hiudenburg, a niau who retired from military life some years ago. and who was called to tho colors at the outbreak of the war, has become the national hero of Germany because of his masterful operations, on the west of Germany against the Rus sians. In one reel there are three good motion pictures of Von Uindenburg made less than a month ago. The Kaiser, the uppermost figure from a German standpoint, has been pictured frequently, but his wife, the Empress of Germany, has not figured in the war pictures up to now. The finish of the picture which will be seen fn this city, consists of four hundred feet of film showing the Kaiserin at work with the Red Cross nurses fifty miles back of the firing line, the point where the wounded are being brought from the front to the hospitals.—Adv. * At the Orphenm One of the distinct hits supporting Henrietta Crosman at the Orpheum this week, is the rattling surprise "turn" offered by Milo! It wouldn't do to omit the question mark, for that's as important as the name and deepens the mysterf. The surprises that this act takes on are so distinctly original and clever that it would rob the act of its full pleasure to disclose them here. Just the same Milof is scoring one of the biggest hits of the bill. This is only one of the great novelties support ing the splendid act that Miss Cros man and her company are presenting. Two others, and of about the same importance, ate Swor and Mack, the black face comedians, and Mr. and Mrs. Jack McGreevy, the ''rube" ar tists. It has actually been admitted by Orpheum patrons this week that they shed tears at two Orpheum acts. Real sympathetic tears at Henrietta fros man's act. and tears of laughter at Swor and Mack, who follow immediate ly after her drama. The Orpheum's current bill is a real metropolitan ar ray of talent. —Adv. • At the Colonial Far and away the most spectacular act the "Busy Corner" has seen is the "Black and White Review," appear-i1 'ling there as the bright particular at -11 I traction of the clever show that holds! ! forth during the last half of the week, j lit is a pretentious comedy, singing and j ; talking act, calling in elaborate scenery ; |and costumes and the efforts of eight! players.

HandelV masterpieces will be rendered and the final selection ; at each performance will be the fa mous "Hallelujah Chorus" from "The Messiah." Each scene is artis tically arranged and the ensemble of colors skillfully blended, giving the effect of a masterpiece of old-world painting in which tno characters are made to live. Every picture is hand colored. This alone is something which raises this film above the aver age. In addition the back grounds : are absolutely true, the scenes have j been taken for the greater part in the I Holy Lands, amid surrounding which lend an authentic air to the settings. The back grounds were selected by a man who knew how to distinguish beauty from the ordinary scenery and every scene is in itself beautiful. The ancient cities, countrysides and the desert scenes are a rare treat for they 1 carry true atmosphere of Egypt. The proper spirit of seriousness is shown bv the actors throughout, thus produc | ing a thoroughly pleasing presentation | of the ever-sacred subject.—Adv." ■ A Short Memory. Uncle Jed was a trifle slack about t quitting the bottom when the levee broke and had to take to a tree. Morn ing came and there was sixty feet of Mississippi flood water between liim and shore. The preacher hnppenetl ; along on the high ground and saw Jed. but there wasn't any boat. Moreover, Jed's suspicion that there were al ligators about was well founded. The preacher besought Jed to swim, but in vain. Fiually he called out: "Jed, have faith. Remember how Jonah was cared for in the whale and saved nfter three days." Jed spoke earnestly. "Yas, sub, I remember. 1 ain' denyin' nuthin' 'bout Jonah, 'cause 1 wa'n't nigh nm. But dls year alligator, he ain' no whale, sub.

Five years after be had gained but three Inches, but at the age of twenty the measurement was six inches more, and then the growth ceased.

"This artist," remarked the teacher at the conclusion of the drawing lesson. I "painted many other beautiful pic tures, which were hung in the galler ies of Paris.

COPS TO SING TO CROOKS Pittsburgh's Lawless Will Have Night ly Religious Concerts Pittsburgh. Apvil 2.—After exhaus tive experiments, Superintendent of Po lice \\. Nob 11' .Matthews has declared that mil sic will "convert the cropk and calm jags." So imbued is he with the idea that the pojice quartet which I sang in the tahernacle during the re vival services conduced ihere by Billy Sunday will discourse music nightly in the central station in an effort to bet ter the lives of the wayward ones who laud there. Whenever professional crooks are in the cells the singers are to give pa thetic songs and hymns. For the drunk ards, ragtime is the selection, as it never fails to bring them into nood humor. Recently the quartet sang "Where Is My Wandering Boy To-night!" and at the end three professional pickpockets were found weeping in their cells. Superintendent Matthews says near ly every prisoner that gets into the sta tion is affected during the singing, and that he knows several who are now lead ing better lives as a result of their bet ter natures being touched by the music.
