tor From South Carolina.
HIS SONS WIFE THE PLAINTIFF

State Law.

COLUMBIA, S. c., February l5.-In q
decision handed down here today the su-
preme court took the two children of B.
r. Tfllman. jr from their grandfather.
Senator Ben r. Tillman, and restored
them to the custody Of their mother.
IT pray Gods guidance to the mother In
rearing my little granddaughters and that
He will shield them from communicating
influences and examples" exclaimed Sen
ator T1llman this morning when he was
told of the decision of the supreme court
of South Carolina to take his grandchil-
dren from his custody and give them into
the custody Of the mother.
Court Takes Responsibility.
"The supreme Justices have lifted a
great responsibility off me and shifted

ed. MY only motive in accepting the

granddaughters. 1 knew all of the facts

! Basis Of Contest.
Senator Tillman contested for his right
to hold his granddaughterS on the basis
of a deed to them given to him by his
son, the childrens father. There is an
old law of South Carolina which made
provision for such action. Since this case
came up he said, the state legislature
changed the law to provide that the
| mothers written consent to such action
must be given. This recognized the valid
ity of the old law. in the opinion of SEN
ator Tillman. and he pointed out that
the decision OF the court might have been
retroactive. based on the changed law
AS he has not heard the reasons ex-
pressed by the court for its decision
Senator Tillman explained, he could not
comment on that phase of the matter.

made " on account Of devotion shown TO
Denmark and the Danish interests"
About a year ago Mr.. PouIsen donated a
fund OF 100000 to the northumberland
can society OF which President Butler of
Columbia University, is the head. The
society has through this generosity Of Mr..
Poulsen been able 10 establish scholarships
for Scandinavian students at the following
universities and technical schools: Harvard,
Yale Columbia, Massachusetts Institute
Of Technology and the Carnegie Institute
of Pittsburg.
Mr.. Mathiasen Is another supporter OF
Scandinavian interests, churches, charita-
BILE organizations, as well as purely ma
tlonalistlc societies. He came TO America
with his parents as a small boy, worked
in New Jersey and obtained his education
in the night schools OF Boston, where he
went to work for the specific purpose Of
being able to get an education while he
earned his living in the day time.

Boss Of the Establishment
BIZ AMERE NAN.

The Boss OF the Establishment had
trudged down 70 the station I'm the early
morning as a sort Of pathfinder to a snow
plough which came along behind him,
making smooth the way Of later corners
Miles OF glaring whiteness obscured the
railroad tracks. The morning papers rang
their various changes on the familiar
headline, "City in Billiards. Grip" and
the Boss reached his office half an hour
late.

heartedly UP the steps Of his abode.
One OF the mysteries Of the domestic
balance, as the Boss long ago discovered,
lie that the mental moods of husband and
wife rarely coincide.
1t was not to be expected that his
spouse, who greeted him with her most
matter-of-fsct face at the doorway, should
evince either sympathy or comprehension
toward his new humanitarian views
Nevertheless It was disappointing that
she should select this particular occasion
for discussing the tradesmens bills and

How to Properly Feed Children

A child should be well fed and thoroughly
Dourished, but II should be done with dis
eliminating intelligence, says DR.. Eliza
beth Jones in the 81. Louis Republic. The
body needs certain amount OF food to en-
able II to perform its functions; the child
needs another certain amount "over'' 10
provide for bodily growth. Yet any more
than the right amount OF food forces the
employment OF the bodys machinery in
eliminating unabsOrbed nutriment. This
extra work weaksns, not strengthens. the
body. Herein is the germ OF truth behind
the breakdown-"at school"--if so many
children who gorge At table and cram be-
tween meals.
With intelligent guidance the child can
be made the Judge OF what his body
needs IN the amount Of food. II the child
be taught carefully-tO chew every mouth
ful OF food thoroughly, and TO swallow II
before taking another mouthful, and II
he be denied any fluid 10 drink at meals,
then he cEnnot overeat for appetite will
be satisfied before he has swallowed too
much.
No beverage should be allowed with
meals, nor for an hour and n half after
meals Between meals plenty OF fluid
should be drunk. and II the child Is not
at first inclined 20 drink, between meals
/ he should be taught. But there should be
no food except al meal times. II at first
the child complains OF hunger or faint
ness between meals, do not be alarmed.
| He does experience a craving for the
| former between-msals bites" but Il Is
not a normal longing, and he will soon
get over Il.
When a ehild's appetite falls We are all
familiar with the spectacle Of tempting
