DEATH TO THE JEWS.
Pernieious Circular Being Circulated in
Southern Russia.

Southern Russia.
NEW YORK, April Among the
anonymous circulars said to be going
the rounds In various Southern Rus
sian centers and against which the
government has issued stringent meas
ures for the maintenance Of peace and
order is one qquoted in Times dis
patch from Vienna, in part as follows:
Satan, who has assumed the shape
of the Jews, continues to disturb our
holy Russia. Behind the Jew our foes
at home stand innumerable Jews
abroad, in alliance with the unbeliev-
ers, the English. Americans and Jap
anese.
Goddess England and usurious Amer.
lea, threaten us and wish Japan to
tear us down, but danger lies at home.
The peril is with the Jews, who drink
our children's blood: poison our youths
with foul and pernicious ideas, and
overthrow the pillars of our holy state
and faith.
Against this hundred headed
hydra, this venomous reptile, we must
battle Death to the Jews"

Sweets For Children.

Nearly all children, especially If they
be normal. healthy children, crave for
sweets. A great many parents, with
out any thought or reason in the mat
ter, deny to their children all kinds Of
sweets. They do this from some pre-
conceived notion that sugar and candy
and cakes are bad for the children.
other parents go to the opposite ex-
treme and indulge their children in all
sorts of confectionery, from the cheap
est to the most expensive, allowing
them to eat rich, indlgestible cakes,
jams, candied fruits, preserves, etc.
They both are making a mistake.

Child Labor Law In New York Being
Strictly Enforced.
NEW YORK. April 4.--sinee the

employers all over the city have taken
warning and are extremely wary. II

cannot prove that he or she Is more

OF all children In the city. that is, Of
all cildren In the city, that Is, OF all

II Ii along this line OF reporting

applications from children. especially
Of those who wish to get employment
in department stores, put no positions

Is learned that the child labor laws
will not get them into trouble.
The law is that work certificates may
be granted to those who have been 100
days In school between their 18th and
14th birthdays. The difficulty found
here Is In finding out whether he
child Is IA years Of age. Many chill
dren come daily to the health Depart
ment rooms TO get their certificates.
but they cannot prove their age. These
are children Of whose birth report
has not been sent to the department.
1T is a fact that we get only so or
10 per cent Of the births recorded"
said Or. s. ]. Byrne, register Of rec
ords, today. people and their ply
sicians do not send In reports Of the
children's births, and when the chill
dren want to go to work there is no
record to show their age. Then they
blame the department for not getting
the record, and ask why we didn't get
II from the doctor.
Few people realize that there is a
provision in the sanitary code whereby
laxity in reporting birth is made a
misdemeanor, punishable by not more
than two years Imprisonment.
''The trouble, however, is that we
can not prosecute after two years from
the time of birth has elapsed. And we
don't find out until the births were not
reported until the child becomes old
enough to work. Then there is
trouble"
One of these cases came up yester-
day when Miss Jennie Horstmann. who
lives at 2s7 Liberty avenue. came to
the health officials to try to get proof
that she was 16 years old. Her birth,
1t seems. had not been reported, and
she had no proof to show men who
would employ her that she was 1s.
The girls father John Horstmann,
was very indignant when he learned
that there was no record. and scored
the health department for negligence.
He threatened to appeal to Borough
President Littleton, but was some
what taken aback when he was told
that he himself ought to be prose-
cuted for not reporting his daughters
birth.

The splendid service rendered By
those who obtained commissions In the
army following the civil war was abun-
aant proof Of their fitness for COM
mand- The test Of war service Is one
which cannot be equaled by any sys-
tenn Of examination or marking that

fact of the qualifications Of an oHieer
as developed under war conditions Is
absolute; the question Of probable EN-

the Army and Navy Journal. In ad-

have made the requirements for the ae-
eOmplished ofheer much more exacting
than ever. Now that there Is a pros
pect that we may have II appoint

term in the warrant grade so that the

seem that all mad been done that need
be done toward making the promotion
easier. What is mainly to be feared Is
that under the stimulus Of the need Of
officers the restriction Of numbers may
be removed and a broadly framed gen.
eral provision may make 1t possible
for those to secure commission who
would not or could not qualify under
the present restrictions. On the other
hand, promotion within the limits now
set should not be made impossible
through the establishment Of standards
which, however conscientiOusly adopt

"In view Of what Korea has been to
Japan in the past, it is not strange that

try in which the japanese have become
famous was taught them by the Koreans.

beautifed and enriched Japan came

THE BEST BEAUTY DOCTOR
What a Mother Can Do TO Make Her
Children Attractive in the
Highest Sense.

Every mother is the best beauty-doe-
tor to her own child. We have met
mothers who spent a great deal Of time
beautifying their children's garments,
to the detriment Of what is real beau
tifying-the identifying Of the soul
forgetting that the eyes are the win
dows Of the SOUL" and beauty is as
beauty does
It is as natural for a little child to
wish to be beautiful as it is for a flow
er to turn to the sun. Watch your wee
daughter some time, when she is IN
conscious Of your presence, before q
mirror. See how she turns this way
and that, smooths out a crease, or pats
a ribbon, all the while smiling at the
reflection, as she stands there, and
finally turning away with the smile
lingering In her eyes and at the cor
uers of her mouth-for she has learned
that a smiliug face is more beautiful
that one that frowns. And your boy!
