NAME BAKER? GO EASY ON GET- RICH- QUICK SCHEME NOW OUT Visions of fortune mounting into mi lions of dollars which members f th Baker Heirs Geanea may have had have been given a jolt by the Pennsylvania Department Internal Affairs. Periodically, associations hav been gical Assogiz formed of members of Baker families who have believed that their an could be traced to a Colonel Jacob B who served in the American army in the Revolutionary days. ) is formed mer rs Baker had been Philadelphia by the Government The supposed is that one which is now located C Hall, the Wanamaker stores and other large buildings in Central Phil- adely 1. The heirs are also told that ae- cumulations from rentals have now am- ounted to approximately $80,000,000; that the value of the real estate is now $300,000,000 and that now all that is nec ry is that the heirs prove their claims and the amassed fortune can be distributed. The latest association to be formed is the Baker *Heirs' Genealogical Associa- tion with headquarters in Kansas City Missouri, and apparantly the member- ship is rather extensive. One of the posed descendents invited to join the sociation, F. F. Reed of Cape Girardeau Mo. is apparantly skeptical. In a letter ssed to Secretary of Internal Aff James F. Woodward he made in- quiry about the alleged Baker & and pointed out that the entrance fee in- to the association runs from $10 to $18 He stated that unless there was some good reason to believe that he would profit by joining the association he did not care to invest any money in the pro- position. In reply to his communication tary Woodward said: “I wish to ir you that for quite a number of this department has been excee troubled over an alleged ‘Baker and so far as can be learned there no such thing as a Baker te, and to us presents itself as gantic swindle Secre- which has gained such momentum that it seems entirely impossible to stop it. We have received and answered letters from all parts of the United States and Canada. A great deal of money to our know > has been collected by certain lawyers from alleged Baker heirs. We have found these lawyers before this de- partment and warned them of thei erations. They have been arrested, but semmingly have been able tocescape by making settlements.” "Op STATE HEALTH DOCTOR WARNS ABUOT FEATURE REMODELING “Quite recently a young woman de- cided that her nose was not as beauti- ful as she would like to have. it visited a plastic s on who promi to mould it along classical lines for certain price. She is now hope ly dis- figured and is suing the doctc or big damages. Much publicity has given to the disastrous effects of an op- eration for bow legs recently performed by one of these ‘practitioners.’ There is a moral to these stories.” So said Dr Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of Health, this week. “The desire to appear attractiv is ¢ fundamental one, However when it de- velops to such a magnitude to the lifting of faces, stre legs and indulging ia other garies it is carrying the thing ‘Available records indicate that hund- reds of permanent di ement ¥: resulted from this foolish pr. and that at best, beautifying ry is but a temporary expedient. Time waits for neither man nor woman; to try to by removing fat and stretching skin is attempting the impossible and running a great risk also. “During the war grim necessity de- veloped marvelous technique on the part of comparatively few ethic making over and re bodies that had been y and shell. But it is one th nose for example, on the face of dier who has had it shot a quite another to run to the alle d beau- ty specialist and submit to practices not based on absolue necessity. “While nature has not given everyone beauty of face and form, she has endow- ed all of us with reasoning intell and afforded us all the i t real beauty. Indeed she has even don better than that. In no unc terms nature has said that by living according to fundamental health laws, old ze well as its appearance can be somewhat deferred. “Loss of sleep, use of stimulating drugs, lack of exercise improper food an worry are some of the ti that m wrinkles and otherwise prematurely age people. : “Therefore be your own beauty spec ialist. Develop rosy cheeks by the exer- cise and fresh air method; poss clear bright eyes because of the vim, vigor and vitality back of them. Live according to the laws laid down by nature and thus hold youth at least its alloted time Don’t force old age upon yourself and then expect a knife in the hands of a so-called ‘Surgeon’ of the plastic nature to make you a child again. It can’t be done!” » been S. as to resort of va- L 11 surgeons in x faces STATE IS SUMMER RESORT FOR‘WISEACRES’ OF BIRDS Observers of the state game commiss- ion report that apparantly Pennsylvania has a wild life Chamber of Commerce which has been unusually successful in securing crow conventions. Always a favorite winter resort for the ‘“wiseacres’” of the bird family their fa- vorite camping grounds this winter are teeming with uncounted millions of the birds. Crows each winter congregate in the same general locality in what are known to the'commission as roosts.” There are more than a dozen large roosts in the state where the birds céllect each night apparantly for company and municipal protection. Observers placed at such a roost near Harrisburg estimated that pre- bably two million birds spent each night there. Dr. George M. Sutton, state” ornitholo- gist, says that while the crow’s food ha- bits are not altogether bad he has many objectionable traits and during the win- ter in particular may be a serious ene- my of game and small birds.
