WANTS BACK THE BABY
SHE GAVE STRANGERS

NEW YORK .-Special.- Driven
frantic over the separation from her
of her one-year-old baby Algida, Mrs.
Julia Deames, of 537 Wendover Ave-
nue., Bronx, wants the child that she
gave to strangers for adoption on Sum
day brought back to her. Neigh
bors fear that the woman will go in
sane II her little girl is not restored.
Mrs. Deames, who is very poor, on
last Sunday morning advertised in the
World that she had a baby for adop-
ton. At S o'clock that morning a
well-dressed man and woman called
upon her and asked to see the child.
They were pleased with 1t and took
1t away with them, after Mrs. Deames
had first signed some sort OF a paper.
When the couple left the house Mrs.
Deames thought of the paper she had
signed and went to look for it to find
the address of the baby's adopted pa
rents. There was no address on the
paper.
Alarmed, because she feared she
would never see the little girl again,
Mrs. DeameS worked herself into a
condition bordering on insanity and
has inserted a second advertisement
in the World Of this morning plead
ing with the persons who took the
baby away for adoption to restore it
to her.

The cost of living is now felt the

people, such as bookkeepers, clerks

In localities where food prices are
raised, it is found that prices to the

This is particularly noticeable in
Western States, where meat and farm
products originate.
Let us not scatter our efforts when
organized, but take up one article at

all the high-price fiXers that they will

breaks the law by refraining from the

together they do not need.
That is where we have the tariff

STERILIZATION u:

Medical Men Plan Proposed 20 Retard

1t looks very much as If the bill

GRAFTON at the hands of the Legisla-
ture.
Certain It is that the measure.
which has been suggested by DR..
Charles V. Darlington, the surgeon of
the Virginia penitentiary has most
influential supporters. DR.. Drewry,
the superintendent of the Central State
Hospital Is enthusiastically In favor
OF the law.
1t is said, too, that the heads of all
the other asylums, as well as State
Health Commissioner Ennion G.. VIII
Hams and DR.. e. Q, Levy, desire the
passage of the bill.
The proposed statute Is to be dis
cuSsed at a meeting of the House Com
mittee on Prisons and Asylums next
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. On
this occasion both DR.. Darlington and
DR.. Drewry will explain the bill and
urge its favorable consideration by
the committee.
The sterilization law-or one al

hastily devised. and what is more, IL
carefully guards the constitutional
rights OF felons and diseased crimi-
nails.
DR.. Darlington said this morning
that the bill was nothing If not con-
sentative and cautious. IT provides
that the penitentiary surgeon shall
make the first recommendations as to
any prisoner. These recommendations
next are passed on by the Penitentiary
Board, and If that body thinks the
convict should be subjected to the
painless operation provided for, the
matter shall then be passed on to two
more members of the medical profess
sion-an expert alienist and a sur
geon of good standing.
From the foregoing il will be seen
that no one man will have the sole
authority in cases Of this sort. In
every instance the physical, mental
and criminal condition of the prisoner
will be thoroughly looked into.
1t is not the purpose of those in
terested in the measure to make Il

but only to the more vicious, dis

prime object Of the bill is to save flu
