one of the remedies for tn high NOR
tality among infants vas given yestef-
day by DR.. Abraham Jacob, president
of the medical board of the Seaside Hos
pitai of st. Johns Guild, New YORK
city.
ssThe problem is to prevent the high
birth rate of the Ghetto, in order to
prevent the high death ate of the tene-
ments," said DR.. Jacob. THE average
tenement dweller is in a position to
have one or two children and take care
of them, not properly. but well enough
to bring them to maturity in moder-
ately good health
DR.. Jacob called attention to the
fact that the families of h poor sell
dom number less than five. The sec
ond is born before the first is able to
walk. The neither, improperly nopr-
ished and worn out with household
duties and the ARE of the infant, is in
no condition to give birth to a strong,
| healthy child. If by chance a normal
| child is born the surroundings in which
his early years are spent soon take
away his little birthright OF strength.
"When / remember some of h poor
little victims of civilization brought to
our Seaside Hospital, | shudder with
horror continued the doctor. Victims
| of civilization did l say? Well, ! should
add victims of large families, also.
Poor l,ttle wretches! Their twisted
faces and thin, distorted limbs are
enough to tear the heart out OF a man
And yet, each new arrival at the hos
pital is either the fifth or sixth, per-
haps seventh or eighth, of some work
ingman's family. If it is the first born
the chances are five or six more will
follow at the hospital in a short time
If the undertaken doesn't get them
first"
And / am sure that we will all agree
with DR.. Jacob that large families are
a blessing only when proper provision

BY MAYOR $. l.. SHANK.

The of Indianapolis have
been held up by commission men as
long as they are going to be. The
people have engaged in a great pop
uiar revolt against criminally high
prices, they have appealed to me as
mayor to give them relief, and I am
going to give it to them.
IL l can dc 1t, / will have the munic-
ipality guarantee the people against
robbery in high prices of food just as
1t guarantees them protection against
any kind of robbery. If the council
fails to move with me, i shall bring
food products into the city from the
farms al my own expense.
/ have been asked by the STAR to
tell about my program. 1t is simple.
1t Is a scheme to restore competition,
by the use of a club if necessary.
There is no effort to harm legitimate
commission men. The scheme is to
show up the systematic Justification
employed by the commission combine
tn keep up food prices to double what
they ought to be. When they are
shown up in their true light | believe
they will be good. II they are not they
will have to meet Cost prices from the
farm.
In indianapolis potatoes were selling
as high as s2.4o a bushel. They can be
laid down here for SO cents a bushel.
They car be sold at rs cents without
loss. ! shall continue to buy them at
So cents and sell them at 20 until they

to be rushed here for sale on the same
terms.
l believe it the duty of a chief eXecu-
tive to take this step. As a private
citizen I would have a right to do it;
as a mayor / feel it my duty.
There are hundreds of men here, as
in other cities, making from S12 to $15

for them to live and raise normal fam
lilies unless food prices fall,
I have beer told hat in Portland,
Ore, the commission men dump good
produce into the ocean to create a
scarcity. Here they have been ccom-
plishing the same purpose by writing
farmers that the local market was
glutted, while the SANE fruits and
vegetables were commanding the
highest prices in the city's history.

experiment, and | know the people
are. 1t has ceased to be an expert

Her voice faltered there, and she
bent down abruptly and kissed the
hand that was still caressing her own.
MY child" he said, your father
and l were like brothers-nearer to
each other than most brothers. He
went away, knowing that If his ven.
ture failed, If it ended fatally for him,
as it probably did, I should regard you
as my daughter-as just as much a
child of mine as Tom is. If you
hadn't been in the case at all, we'd
have built this ship and come up here
to find Tom Fielding Just the same.

Fanshaw looked quickly from the
negroes face to the girls as If he sus-
pected a hoax, but the terror in n
face and the mystifcation In the other
were obviously genuine.
Then he rose and went over to the
buffet, returning to the table with the
oddly-shaped, rudely-whittled stick.
DO you mean to say" he demanded,
looking up at the girl with a puzzled
frown-"do you mean to say that he,
the man you dreamed about, made
you a present Of this stick?"
She laughed. IF that seems a rea-
sonable way Of putting it, yes; at
least 1t slipped out of his belt and l
found 1t where he had been sitting.
But can you imagine what he used it
for?"
ooh, l know what it is, but that
only makes the puzzle all the deeper.
It's an Eskimo throwing-sticE. They
use it to shoot darts with. 1t lies
in the palm Of the hand, so, and the
dart is put in that groove, though the
butt of this one seems c~uriously mis-
shapen; ! can't make it fit my hand.
But can't figure out how the thing
got aboard the yacht; 1t wasn't here
yesterday"
"Of curse not" she said; my sky
man brought IT,"
He ran his fingers through his
bushy gray hair pe~rplexedly. Then he
laid the thing down and seated him
self at the table. "At any rate" he
said, I'VE needn't let even a mystery
spoil our breakfast. Come, my dear,
you've eaten almost nothing. That
omelet deserves better treatment"
Obediently she took up her fork,
but almost Immediately laid it down
again, and he saw her eyes brighten
with tears. "Of course, if there'd been
any news, if there'd been anything to
find, we'd have heard"
Silently ~heS'eached across the table
and patted the hand that lay there on
the white cloth.
"Oh, | know | oughtn't to cry" she
said, 'and | won't; it's your goodness

The moment Mr.. Fanshaw and
Jeanne emerged upon the deck they
heard the sound of oars beneath them,
and looking over the rail saw n Of
the boats in which the shore party
had set out, pulling up alongside the
accommodation ladder. Three men
were in it, two Of the crew and Tom
Fanshaw.
What news, Tom?" his father
called out anxiously enough to belle
Lis former tranquil name Have
you found anything7 hope there's
nothing wrong"
The younger man looked up. He
saw his father, but not the girl.
Nothing wrong" he growled, except
this internal ankle Of mine. I've
sprained it again, and did 1t Just
when" He broke the sentence off
short there, his eye falling at that
moment upon Jeanne.
She paled a little, for she had been
quick to perceive that something he
had been about to tell would not be
told now, or must be told differently.
But she waited until his father, to-
gether with the two sailors, had got
the disabled man up onto the deck
and safely installed in an easy chair.
Then gravely, but steadily, Just as
what, Tom? What clue had they found
Just as you had to come away?"
1T was very wonderful" he said;
quite inexplicable. Just as we were
about breaking camp this morning we
saw a man coming toward us across
the ice. We thought at first that 1t
was Hunter, and we were nightly
glad to see him, because he had stray
ed off somewhere and hadn't camped
with us. But we soon saw it wasn't
he, wasn't a man anything like him.
He was a queer, slouching, shutting
creature, dressed in skins, and he
came up in a hesitating way, as If he
was afraid of us. He couldn't talk
English, nor understand 1t, apparent
ly. He looked to me like a Portu-
guese, and l tried him in Spanish
good Filipino Spanish-on the chance.
l thought it startled him a little, and
he pricked up his ears at 1t, but he
couldn't understand that either. He
just kept reckoning and repeating two
words"
What words, Tom? Out with It'll"

well out Of hearing, we take the
yacht. We may not find a living soul
aboard her; and we certainly can't
leave one there. But we'll steam up
and take III gold aboard-all our
gold, And then, well-there's where
you'll come In"
But what then, man? My God!
what then? Do you suppose we can
go steaming into San Francisco, or
any other port In the world, with all
that gold IN our hull and another cap
tatn's log and papers? We might just
as we'll hang ourselves from our own
crow-jack yard"
Il hope your wits will improve when
you get a deck under your feet" Ros-
coe growled. "On land here you're
about as much good as a pelican in
a foot race. No, your sailing orders
won't be San Francisco, nor any 9TH
er port that has such a thing as a
revenue officer about. But you ought
to know the north coast line over
there as far east as Mckenzie bay.
You must know some harbor there
where we can lie up for the winter
and not be bothered"
YES" said Planck, 81 could take
the yacht to such a place as that.
There's a very good harbor in behind

when We get there?"

This from the old gentleman, who

Roscoe. We'll winter on the yacht.
Then when the weather begins to
loosen up a bit, but before the spring
thaws, we'll land our gold and our
stores; cache all the gold, except
what we can carry over the trail, say,
about 500 pounds of it, and We'll leave
he yachts seacocks open, so that
hen the ice goes out, she'll scuttle
erself. We shall probably find
,ledgee, and perhaps a pony or two,
on the yacht. If we do, 1t will be
easy. it's only a short hike to one
of the tributaries of the Porcupine
river. Once we reach the Porcupine,
It will be easy, for it flows into the
Yukon, and that's as good as a rail-
way line. Well make a raft and float
all the way down to Saint Michaels
with no trouble at all. The gold we
have with us will be enough to take
US down to Vancouver, and there we
can charter a ship. You take command
Of her, and we go north through the
straits again that very summer-next

Roscoe looked at him with a savage
sort Of grin. Come, you're improving.
But that hike acros the mountains to
the upper tributaries Of the Porcupine
Is a hard trail. There aren't likely to
be many of us left by the time we
get started floating down open water.
When we get to the Yukon 1t won't
be surprising if there isn't anybody
left at all, but you and me-"
Planck caught his meaning quickly
enough, indeed, a duller man could
have read it in Roscoe's savage light

teeth chatter. He would have felt a
deadlier terror. perhaps, could he

things with those nimble wits of

slow, deliberate smile.
