London. The keenest possible
sense of rivalry has been awakened
among British horse owners by the
fact that horses representing the pick
of Americas private stables are to
compete at the forthcoming interna-
tional horse show at Olympia. Howard
Frank. one of the English directors OF
the show said more horses are en-
tered from the United States for this
years show than for any of its prede-
cessors.
Walter Winans, the weIlknown
American millionaire sportsman. who
lives over here. carries off the palm

no one could help him. For five years
this condition remained, when, Just al
suddenly and Unexpectedly as the
malady came. so 1t left the grand old
man Of Berks county. As he arose
from his bed one morning recently he
found that he could talk as loud as

little difficulty in hearing. is attract

and friends. but of many others who
have been interested In the wonderful
return of his speech.
Mr.. DeHart was born at Stoners-

and when a lad he went to school in
that well-known section of the country
where the early Lincoln, Boone and
Lee families lived, and had for his
teacher James Lee, a wellknown
Quaker. School then consisted of only
three months in the winter, and "a
good education" was very limited.
When he was still boy his father.

one hundred years old.
When Amos was old enough he be-
came cabinet maker, and also learn
ed to make boats. constructing some
of the craft used on the Schuykill
canal Then he became millwright.
and for years helped to erect mills
in Berks county. After all those years
of work with the plane and chisel he
bought himself farm, and has fol-
lowed farm life even to this day. He

There is no better proof of the growing
union of true religion and true medical
science than the attention and care be-
slowed upon children. Sociologically it is
recognized that the child is father TO the
man and medically it is increasingly felt
that disease may be eradicated in the child
when in the adult it is impossible. Of all
the movements to save the children none ia
more calculated to arouse sympathy than
that to help and save those crippled and
deformed. Instead Of but four or FIVE state
hospitals for this purpose there should be-
one in every state in the Union.
