ing Cooperation of Preachers.

The state board of health and the
Society for the Study and Prevention CT
Tuberculosis fixed Sunday, April 80, as
tuberculosis Sunday and asked that all
ministers preach at least one sermon
on that day on this disease. Governor

FOLLOWING up the suggestions ana
example of a year ago, L, Waiter h
Stubbs, governor of Kansas, do hereby
designate April so as tuberculosis Sun
day in this state this year.
II not only ask, but sincerely urge,
that pastors of churches give one hour
of that date, preferably, if convenient,
the morning hour of the regular ser
vice, to the consideration of practical
methods for the prevention, treatment
and ultimate suppression of a disease
which brings so much sorrow, affHction
and misery to the American people.
In response to my request of last
year approximately 1000 sermons were
preached on this subject in Kansas,
health department that scores of lives
have been saved by knowledge thus
diffused so intelligently and effectively
among the people.
Il also ask the officers and members
of lodges, Sunday schools, altar So
cieties, and. in fact all religious, social
and educational organizations to cheer
fully cooperate in this cause.
Kansas is in the vanguard of this
worldwide battle and I hope and trust
that it will not only keep it's place but
score another famous victory for hui
] anity this year."

DOG STAYS WITH LOST BOY.
Day and Night He Refuses to Leave
Lad He Loves.

Natoma, Kan. April 25-George, the
2-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Al Pax
ton got lost in the hills which surround
their home south of NaIoma and the en-
tire night and part of the next day,
was spent in the search before the lit
tie fellow was found lying where he
had dropped to sleep while crawling
under a wire fence. Beside him was
his half grown pup which had stayed
with him through his night of wander
ings. He had evidently Travelled two
miles or more in his wanderings.
More than 100 people took part in
the hunt and business and professional
men, including doctors, preachers,
school teachers, postmaster and the en-
tire body of the high school were among
the searchers who secured the hills for
10 hours before the little fellow was
found.
Emil Preiter was first to find him.
Although bareheaded and scantily
clad, little George seems none the worse
for his nights experience. A threaten
ed storm in the night greatly increas-
ed the anxiety of the searchers but
happily not much rain fell.

the Majestic this week while North

You will hear that there is a differ

anything to his wife if she gives him
time enough. (Perhaps this may in

compromising situations with maid

JEWISH MOTHERS RANK HIGH.
Birth Rate in New York Is 55 Per
1000 Population.

New York, April 25.-Ffgures which
throw light on what matrons of vari-
GUS nationalities are doing in the way
of increasing the population of the city
of New York, have just been issued by
the health department. In the Jewish
district the birth rate is the highest,
averaging 55 per 1000 of the population
there. In typically italian sections, the
rate is sos. In the negro district the
birth rate averages 26.6. But in the
high class native American private
residence districts, the rate is less than
per 1000.
The number of children resulting
from mixed marriages indicates, the ex-
perts say. that the second generation
of immigrants are not as prolific in
offspring as are the first generation.

John ShOop Loses Struggle With
His Appetite.
Sent to Jail Today for Violating
His Parole.
FOLK NEED HIS HELP
But He Spends Money for
Liquor.
Crippled Daughter Only Sup
port of the Family.

John Shoop just couldn't leave liquor
alone and Monday afternoon he was
sent to jail for violating his parole I'M
der the delinquent parent law. Shoop
wife and 17-year-old daughter cried
bitterly as the husband and father was
remanded to jail.
Shops is one of the most pitiable
cases that has come to Judge Schoch
attention in his enforcement of the de-
linquent parent law in this county. 1t
was last fall when Shoop was first
brought before the court The gray
haired old man made no defense. Then
Mrs. Shoop and the daughter told of
the want and suffering in the little
home on West Fifth street.
1t seemed that Shops income was
uncertain and that his craze for drink
was reflected in the home life of the
little family The little necessities of
life and modest luxuries which neigh
bors enjoyed were denied the family
because Shoop could not leave drink
alone and his income did not provide
sufficient for his own appetite and the
needs of his family. 1t was a delicate
case. Judge Schoch decided it would
not be wise to send Shoop to Jail and
impair his capacity to earn a liveli-
hood, so a parole was granted.
But Shoop couldn't keep the pledge
Now he must go to Jail until he can re-
main sober. The mother and daughter
CIleQ dS they PI0dQ0Q with the COuEL W
find some other remedy. But there
seemed to be no alternative. The
mother and wife is old and gray. The
17-year-old daughter works hard and
earns a small salary with which she
has heroically helped keep the little
home together. The girl is a cripple,
too. But with grim determination she
has kept at her task. She shrinks from
the publicity that surrounds her faith
er's career. With the father in jail
pending a reformation, the little Grip
pied girls meager earnings seem to be
the only means of providing the neces-
stiles for the humble West side home.
At the same time Shoop was sent to
Jail. Charles Fields was given a SEN
tence for violating his parole. Fields
lives in North Topeka. The mans wife
says her husband earns a good salary,
but none of it ever reaches her. The
woman stated it had been necessary
for her to support herself and two lit
tie girls while Fields spends his earn
fngs elsewhere.
