Improvement" is the watchword of the
hour; its development and redevelopment is
the ambition Of every true American. Porous
plasters were invented in 1915. For thirty
years their composition remained unimproved,
until Benson's Capcine Porous Plasters were
invented. They differ from all others in their
greater medical activity. They riH cure dis
ease ia a .feg hours that other porous plasters,
liniments or compounds require days and
weeks of continuous wear and use to simply
relieve. They are superior to electricity and
more powerful. 1t is not a nostrum. Tney
are indorsed by over three thousand physi-
clans and druggists as meeting great want;
a remedy for external diseases which relieves

medicine. Try them and you will not be de-

CHILD MURDER.

He says: at would seem that a mother who
wilfuily abandoned her offspring should be as
amenable to the law as the street-brawl homi-
eide; unfortunately no provision exists to
bring such class c. perpetrators to justice.
Vacant lots and sewers are generally the re.
positories for these murdered little ones, and
in view of its alarming frequency most earn
estly recommend that fund be set apart for
rewards in their detection, such fund to be
distributed by the coroner, superintendent of
police or such other officer as it may be
deemed wise to select. The Board of Health
now employs medical sanitary superintend-
ent, whose returns no doubt would swell the
number of these cases. The salary Of this
officer is 81 800 per year, his principal duty
being to inquire into the causes of death OF
those who were not attended by a physician
and to give certificates accordingly. There
may be no suspicion of crime in the great
majority of such cases, but the practice is
necessarily imperfect and conflicting, no pos
mortem examination being ever made, and, Of
course, the cause of death to great extent 1:
purely coniectural."

Another sub, ct to which the attention of
the authorities is called is the fact that IL often
happens that persons are found on the streets
and elsewhere without any clue as to their
identity. Many are strangers, and the rule
hitherto has been to convey them, at great
inconvenience, to the nearest station house,
where they can remain but a short time, de-
pending altogether upUn the season, when
they are buried, perhaps, in Potter's field, all
opportunity for Identification being thereby
lost. In view of this state of affairs the cor
oner recommends the establishment Of q
'morgue" in some accessible part of the city,
and an appropriation for its management.
