New York School Children
Need Attention.
ACTION MUST BE HAD NOW
Investigation Reveals Startling
State of Affairs; Carlessness of
Parents and Teachers.

New York, Oct. Astounding is
the report made by committee of
health on the condition of school chill
dren in this city; appalling is its sug-
gestion of weakness in the next gen
Grafton of adults.
For this report tells us that more
than two thirds of our youth are
physically defective or victims of dis
ease and that this ratio in New York
probably extends over all the United
States, certainly in all the cities.
The amazing facts set forth are an
Indictment of the carelessness of par
ents and of school authorities and
call for instant action The figures
show that in total of nearly 100000
school children in New York, 100000
are suffering from some physical de-
feet, and that in a great majority of
these cases the conditions are open to
cure or improvement.
But for inattention or ignorance of
parents and teachers many OF the chill
dren would never have become vic
Tins of bodily imperfectiOns.
Here are the statistics presented in
the report: 4 ~
Twelve per cent suffer from NAL
nutrition; 4S.S per- cent from enlarged
glands; 72.4 per cent from bad teeth;
l44 per cent defective eyes; 27.7 per
cent nose troubles; 900 per cent
throat troubles. These figures show
that many children are included in
two or more of the sets of percent
ages. 1901
The report says that $4,000 children
suffer from malnutrition; 1877, 1000 from
enlarged glands and 23O,SG0 from de-
fectiye breathing.
The ratio applied to the school chill
dren of the country would indicate
that l,44O,0OO suffer from malnutri
ton; 5,6l5yO0O from enlarged glands,
and 5,925,OOO from defectice breath
ing.
More hygiene and less physical cul-
ture; a tooth brush and cake of
soap, is the motto suggested by the
committee to combat most of the all
ments. =.
Medical supervision of the schools
is urged and attention, by legal force
if necessary, on the part of parents
to the conditions, is demanded. 1t
is asserted that in large percentage
of the cases, the children belong to
class able to afford preventive med
ical care, but that the parents have
been ignorant of the condition of their
children
In view of the alarming situation,
the school authorities of New York
are preparing to take strong meas
ures. A corps of physicians for work
in the schools is suggested
Superintendent William H. Maxwell
has published a statement for the
guidance of mothers who are sending
their children to school this fall for
the first time. He urges a wholesome
breakfast, with plenty of time in
which to eat it.
He advises against meat and coffee
and recommends milk, butter, eggs,
cereals and whole wheat bread. A
wholesome lunch should be provided,
and children should be scrupulously
neat.
For physical and mental progress
plenty of sleep is necessary. No child
under twelve years should study at
home more than an hour day. If
differences arise between teacher and
pupil, the mother should learn all the
facts before taking sides.

orotesoue Spanish Honor,

There is story about the Duke Of
Wellington that illustrates the fantas-
tic idea of honor held by many Span
iards, contrasted with the practical
common sense Of Englishmen. When
the duke was cooperating with the
Spanish army in the peninsula against
Napoleon he was DESTROYS on one oc-
casion during general engagement
that the general commanding the
Spanish contingent should execute q
certain movement on the field. He
communicated the wish to the Span
lard personally and was somewhat
taken aback to be told that the honor
of the king Of Spain and his army
would compel him to refuse the re-
quest unless Wellington, as foreign
officer graciously permitted to exist
and fight on Spanish soil, should pre-
sent the petition on his knees. The old
duke often used to tell the story after
ward, and he would say, Now, was
extremely anxious to have the move
ment executed, and didn't care a
'twopenny damn about getting on my
knees, SO down jumped"

Alcohol Easily Made.

The new regulations governing
the use and manufacture of de-
natured alcohol are receiving much
attention in many parts of the
country. Under these new condi-
tons, any farmer or set of farmers,
or other individuals can establish a
still for the production of alcohol to
be denatured, and can conduct it
without interference from the gov
eminent and almost without super
vision. So long as the business is
honestly carried on, or conducted in
such manner as to arouse no suspic-
or the part of revenue agents there
will be no interference from that
source.
knowledge of the revised regula-
tons has caused applications to
erect stills, to be forwarded to
Washington in large numbers,
which shows business-like inter
est in the manufacture of the new
power. From the information it
has received within the past few
weeks the revenue bureau beliyes
that from now on the production of
alcohol for fuel, lighting and manu-
featuring purposes, will increase
rapidly.-Davenport journal.

Origin of "HeIIo, eilI!n

Why do the Elks yell Hello, Bill?'
It's this way: Back in 1894, when
there was schism In the organization,
the two factions met in Atlantic City
FOR peace parley. At the time VIII
liam G. Myers Of this city, Philadel-
phia's only past grand exalted ruler,
was the grand esteemed leading knight
and one of the most popular men in
the order 10 get his advice and greet
him hundreds Of Elks congregated at
the Atlantic City station to meet Mr.
Myers. All the members were at high
tension. When Bill Myers stepped off
the car Delegate Stack Of st. Paul, a
big six footer, shouted, Hello, Bill"
and the crowd took up the salutation
with hearty laugh. and from that day
to this Hello, Bill" is so universally
used among Elks that it has virtually
become official. To the good natured
feeling which had its outward express
sion In Stacks greeting to Bill Myers
