PRESERVING HEALTH OF CHILD
Possible to Avoid the Ordinary lnfan-
tile Diseases, That Have Been
Considered Necessary.

The idea prevails among many peo-
ple that children must have the or.
binary diseases of childhood. and thai
1t is better to expose them early IN
life so as to get through with them
as soon as possible. It is an old-fash-
Toned belief, and the object today Is
to protect children from infection In
stead of exposing them to it. AS chill
dren are more susceptible to varia-
lions In temperature than adults. SO
are they also more apt to contract
certain diseases. The surest way to
protect them against infection Is not
to expose them. This is extremely
difficult where there are large gather
ings of children. such as at public
schools or in thickly populated dis
tricts, but If the health Of a child is
maintained by pursuing proper n.y.
gienic measures as to food, bathing,
sleep, fresh air, and sunshine 1t is safe
to say that it runs a small risk OF
contracting one Of the infectious dis
eases. even when exposed to 1t. We
should strive to develop the tissues or
the body by proper modes Of living to
such a degree that exposure to I'M
favorable conditions will be met with
resistance.

An lnuuirinu Spirit.

Liquor" said the Experienced
Cop. surely gives a man a peculiar
way Of looking at things. Last night
l was patrolling my beat through
a side street when l saw a drunk
backed up against a railing, and
smiling cheerfully at a half dozen
young hoodlums who were pretending
to josh him, while In reality they
we're going through his pockets. They
beat 1t as soon as l hove in sight.
Say l said to the drunk, don't you
know that those hoodlums werc go
ing through you? Sure l know IT,
said the drunk; Il just wanted to see
how far the -darned little rascals
would go. Here's where I've got
the laugh on them-I've got $500 in
my inside vest pocket, and they never
guessed IT."

Percy on Blbo.

Senator Percy during his
Lauoerdale speech paid his res
poets to Bilbo and his admirers
in the following forceful Ian
guage:
I'm barharous times" said he,
lit was the custom sometimes to
fasten the corpse of the murder
ed man on the back of his
murderer. there to remain until
the corpse corrupted and the
maggots of decay fastened upon
the living man, gnawed into his
vitals and he died 9 horrible
death. The time will not be
long," said the senator. till
Vardaman will cry out to be de
Iivered from the corrupting
corpse that is bringing death to
him."
There are two kinds Of pub
lie gatherings. A gathering to
hear a public debate is profitable.
TO gather to see a physical freak
like a tWa-headed calf is not
injurious. But to go to see a
moral nonstrosity is degrading.
Many people have come out here
to see Bilbo. probably a larger
crowd than | could hope to at
tract. But one Of the largest
crowds / ever saw turned out to
hear a wife murderer make his
last speech from the gallows:'

BURGLAR WOULD JOIN FORCE
Man Who Applied for Police Job is
Arrested.
PART OF SCHEME BY GANG
Officers Believe that Morton and the
Eight Accomplices Under Arrest
Laid Plot to Aid Their
Operations.

In the person of Ray Morton, one of the
nine men taken in the roundup of burglar
suspects Sunday. the police think they
nave one of the cleverest rogues ever
caught in this city. Broad shouldered, in
telligent and honest in appearance, Nor
ton made application week ago to join
the police force. In the light of his arrest
as burglas connected with a band which
gathered in thousands of dollars worth of
loot during the space of a month, the police
believe Morton had planned unique depre-
dations under the guse of being a police
officer.
captain Mostyn, acting chief, explained
Monday morning the half dozen different
exped1ents treacherous policeman might
use to gain his outlaw ends, all OF which 1t
appeared Morton had intended using.
THE perjured officer after swearing to
give his life to protect life and property
said Chief Mostyn. could have access to
the important reports of the department.
He could keep his pals in close touch with
the action of the police on all burglaries
and other criminal deeds. He could betray
those who trusted him in the daily travel
ing of his beat. He would find IL COM
paratively easy to enter certain business
places and houses on his beat for thieving
purpose, which otherwise he could not
enter.
