BODY OF INFANT
LYING ON BRIDGE
Found By Sanitary Inspector
Barnett This Morning
Negro Boy Observed Couple Walking
Across Bridge and They Are
Suspected.
ISLAND CREEK HAS MYSTERY

The dead body of white boy
baby was found near the middle OF
Third street Island creek bridge, at
10 O'Clock this morning by r. +.
Barnett, sanitary inspector, who
was going into Meehanicsburg on
his regular rounds. The body was
fully developed and appeared to
have been dead but short time. 1t
lay near the edge of the bridge, and
the only clew as to who placed il
there was secured through negro
boy who works at a nearby doc
tors Office He observed a
boy and girl, the girl about II years
old. walking over the bridge. He no.
ticed that she leaned heavily on her
companions arm. He paid no partic-
ular attention to them, and does not
know whittier he would recognize
them.
r. f. Barnett resides at 200 Glenn
ents street and is a brother of Coun-
Gilman R. S. Barnett He had been
north of the bridge and was walking
leisurely across when he observed
the dead baby.
The body was clean. It was near
the edge but had one tried to throw
It into the river, merely kick
would have sufficed, AMI it is doubt
ed II this was the intention.
Inspector Barnett took the body to
his home and Coroner Eaker was no
tilted. He went at one o'clock and is
this afternoon conducting an inyesti-
cation.
The boy and girl who walked
across the bridge are suspicioned and
Coroner Eal1er intends to learn their
identity. The police VIII also assist
in the matter.
Coroner Eaker this afternoon
brought the body to the morgue OF
the Mattil-E fnger company, and this
afternoon will hold an inquest. He
will bury the body in the county
grave yard.

Pure Blood Is Essential to Good
Health.


DR.. A. T. Still, the discoverer OF
Osteopathy, stated many years ago,
that perfect circulation of blood con-
tanning the proper food elements for
tissue nourishment was absolutely
essential for the maintenance of
health, and all researches along bac-
Theological lines have proven with
out doubt the fact.
Perfect circulation is dependent
on normal structure. AS long as the
different parts of the human organ
ism are in proper relation to each
other, and we observe the laws of
Nature, the arteries and veins will be
unimpinged and the blood ciriulate
freely.
Pure blood is the best germicide
known. Germs and their III effects
will disappear from the presence OF
pure blood.
The dry, hot-air treatments that
give. in connection with Osteopathy
restores the circulation to its normal
condition. and improves and stimu-
lates the blood. have had marked
success in its use with people in Pa
ducah you all know well. and tc

dence of the fact.

sYsrEMATIc cHARITY.

More harm than good is done
through reckless and promiscuous
giving. We need as much as an as
s5cnsa6h ~ Charities and Corrections
an association for the correction
of charity. If a person is able to
work, II is unjust to him to give him
that which he should have earned.
It is not charity to pauperize a per-
son and turn a wealth producer into
a drone.
It is the aim of the Charity club
now a branch of the Womans club,
TO exercise discrimination in the dis
tribution OF charity, and it is in ref
erence to this aim the idea occurs
that the charity department should
maintain its headquarters throughout
the summer months looking after the
INDECENT and using its good Offices to
make lazy parents improve the shin
ing hours.
IN the winter time when the club
is active there is little opportunity
for rigid discrimination 1t matters
not that the head of the house has
idled the summer away. 1t is cold
now. and the family is freezing and
starving Humanity will not permit
us to let them freeze because they
were improvident
So, the organization must feed and
clothe and furnish fuel to the improy-
ident, and next summer they will lie
idle again. certain that some kind
person or organization will come to
their rescue in the hour of distress.
These cases that are relieved this
winter should be watched next sum
mer, and those who are able should
be given work while those who are
not able should be taken care Of in a
systematic, economical way. In ey-
cry case the aim should be to make
the person. If possible, earn his bread
thus avoiding the danger Of pauperlz-
ing him.
Two ends are thus served. The
wealth producer is made to produce
wealth, while the deserving poor are
not cheated Of their just share of the
bounty by the undeserving. 1t will
always be found that the really de-
serving poor, usually a widow with
children, is too timid or ignorant to
ind her way early TO the place where
charity Is dispensed, while the frauds.
always alert for the unearned penny,
Will pre5ent their tales with a plausi-
bility and promptness that at first
disarms suspicion and gives free vent
to sympathy. Let us give and give
freely. but through such organized
methods as viii insure that the gift
goes to some deserving poor. for there
are plenty Of unforiunates on whom
no kindness viii be wasted.

WASTE OF LIFE.

Scientists and eminent medical
men have recently called attention to
the appalling waste of life and have
shown that hundreds of thousands
of needless deaths and millions of
needless illnesses could be prevented
by scientific means. A noted British
alienist has told us that in half a
century science will save annually
200 900 lives in England alone by
means Of sanitary and hygienic meas
ures, which is a pleasant Offset to the
announcement of another equally
eminent alienist that according TO
the statistical figures on insanity It
can be shown that before long there
viii be actually more lunatics in the
world than sane people"
There is no hope for the proven
ton of waste of life through the ad-
vance of popular knowledge of how
to prevent disease and Of science in
graphing with and overcoming IL,
But there are other sources Of life
waste impervious to popular know
ledge or scientific ability. The sta
tistics of this kind Of life waste for
1906 are painfully interesting and
ought to produce some effect upon
careless world.
For instance, 2OS persons have been
killed S29 injured in the United
States by automobile accidents, and
in nearly every case the accident was
due to unsk,llful handling or 10 reck-
less speeding. OF course these in
juries have not been none the less
deadly and unnecessary. Again, dur
ing the hunting season proper, sew
enty-four persons were killed and
seventy wounded. During the whole
year 173 were killed and los wound
led More than two7tnirds of these
casualties were caused by the reck.
lessness of amateur sportsmen and
their poor craftsmanship A large
number were caused by a hunter or
other person being taken for a deer.
The fatalities taken from this source
increase every year. Again athletics
caused a needless waste of life.
Covering the entire year, for the ia
talities are not confined to the con-
Iventional season, football has killed
twelve and seriously injured one;
throwing the hammer killed two;
polo injured wO;footracing killed
two; golf killed one and injured
three; the race track killed six and
the prize ring killed seven. Fire
works in their various forms killed
15S and injured 5,3OS.
As n there was not sufficient oppor
tunities for wasting life people have
sought out new and strange devices.
The idiots who rocked the boat have
drowned fourteen and the other
idiots who didn't know 1t was load
ed" have killed sixteen and wounded
three. The looping the loop. roller
coasters andtoboggans have killed six
and injured twenty-four. the scenic
railroads killed four, injured four
teen and those VINO go up In ball
looms twelve have been killed and six
injured
A little more science. a little more
knowledge a little more carefulness.
and GOOD deal more Of the vigor Of
the law would save thousands of lives
every year At present life is about
the cheapest thing in the world
