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."

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

Mrs. Schmidt put her life's savings

by sheriff Kinkead for s3St> to satisfy
the S2OO claim. Dr. Thomas Wilker-'

Only Real War Pictures
The Majestic will have all next week
with daily matinee the Philadelphia
Evening Ledger War Pictures now
ing shown for the fourth straight weelT
at the Forrest Theatre. 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 ;

players. Henry and Murphy are two
nifty girls who present something orig- <
iinal in the way of a song and patter
jskit; Porter and Sullivan are clever va

are minstrel thrillers of the first water.!

Monday—The greatest show that

' ! masterpiece fresh from a fortnight run
on Broadway, New York City, and an
eight weeks' record-breaking engage

"The Life of Our Saviour" at the j

A very timely offering its presented
to-day at the Victoria in a religious i
drama entitled "The Life of Our;

program of sacred uiutiic will be i
played on our wonderful $25,- }
IK!6 Hope-Jones Unit Pipe Or- I
gan Orchestra. 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. Alligator, be eat
a nigger an' go off an' sleep a week,
sub, an' disremember all 'bout dat
nigger Inside um."—New York Post.
Celebrated Dwarfs.
Early In the eighteenth century a
brother and sister attracted great at
i tendon for stnallness of stature. They
j were of Polish birth and were people
• of great accomplishments and elegant
j manners. When the brother, Count
! Berowlaskl, was one year old he meas
ured fourteen inches in height. 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. The sis
ter, Anistasin, seven years younger,
could stand under her brother's arm.
The count lived over ninety years.
Art Criticism.
"This artist," remarked the teacher at
the conclusion of the drawing lesson.
I "painted many other beautiful pic

One of said little boys wrote. "The
artist painted many beautiful pictures,

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.
