BACKWARD CHILDREN AND
NUTRITION.


The dangers of ovcr-eating are Of
ten enough dinned into the ears of the
public. Now and then there is heard
warning regarding the dangers OF
innutrition. The latest authority ON
the necessity Of su1lciency OF nour-
ishing food To keep the human body
In good working condition is the we'll
known English physician, Sir James
| Crichton- Browne.
He says that the so o-called backward
child i'm the schools or great cities Of
ten is an ill-nourished child. and that
the remedy to be prescribed not by
pedagogues but by physicians. He
adds:
Lack of proper feeding, IL long con-
tinued. will permanently dwarf and
damage the brain. We are some
times told that the brain is the last
organ TO suffer from deprivation of
food. My own conviction Is that 1t Is
the first organ to suffer. Every brain
worker knows the dulling effect of the
want of regular meals. In children
any insufficiency of nourishment Is
promptly reflected I'm curtailment of
their learning capacity. Feeding
comes before education. and am
deeply convinced that 1t Is culpable
folly to require brain work of children
that are underfed. All children must
somehow be supplied, not occasionally,
but always and Systematically with a
sufficient amount of food If we are to
better the condition of our people. one
good meal n day Is not enough for the
starving child. VI should be split into
two. There has been a good deal of
nonsense about special brain foods"
There is no special brain food. II is
a good mixed diet of easily digestible
food that is required. Whatever con-
tributes to nutrition generally will
contribute to brain growth and repair.
Well devised instruction i'm cookery
and in the best way of laying out the
family budget and stocking the family
larder will do a good deal toward di-
mnishing the number of backward |
children.
Taking another tack. the Doctor
goes on to assert that what is consd- |
cred backwardness In children is not
always a forerunner of adult deflcien-
cy This. however. is n thing that
everyone I'm middle life knows from ex-
perience. The boy who seems dull In
school often is the successful man I'm
the game of life. The Doctor asserts
that certain slowness OF mental evo-

he remarks that the pre-

WAS GREATEST OF ALL FAKERs
Cagliostro Was the Most Perfect
SeoundreI In All History.

History presents no better example
of a great impostor than Is embodied
in Cagliostro. In many respects he
was the greatest of all takers who,
from time to time, have successfully
carried out their nefarious schemes
Of fraud through their skill at decep-
ton. Thomas Carlyle pronounced him
the most perfect scoundrel that in
these later ages has marked the
worlds history; by profession healer
of diseases, abolisher Of wrinkles,
friend of the poor and impotent spirit
summoner, gold-cook. grand-coptha,
prophet, priest, moralist and swindler,
really a liar of the first magnitude,
Thoroughbred in all provinces of ly-
ing; what one may call him is the
king Of liars"
Cagliostro seems to have been a
marvellous man, for he was able not
only to impose along certain lines, but
he was the master Of hundreds Of bril-
liant fakes. even his high sounding
name being an example. He was
really Giussepe Balsamo. the son of a
poor shopkeeper of Palermo, born in
1743. AS a mere child he seems to
have acquired a devilish penchant for
taking. Being expelled from charity
school for mischief, he was placed in
a monastery and. being set at reading

whilst they ate their meals. he was de-

Why We Are Right Handed.-One

Is left-handed. Why are people right
handed? They may have been born
that way. 1t Is true, but why?
Away back in the beginning the
chief occupatino of man was fighting.
In battle he carried a shield in one
hand and a weapon in the other. 1t
was not much work to carry the
shield, but the quick action required
by the hand and arm which did the
fighting soon developed that arm. 1t
also developed the nerves and the
half Of the brain that govern the right
side of the body. Those who shielded
their left side-thus protecting the
heart-were usually the ones who
came out victorious. Down through
the ages this selection continued, the
right hand gradually becoming more

tected in further misdemeanors, and
he was literally kicked out"
But having got to work In the
monks apothecary shop. he showed
positive genius for medicine and soon
knew more about chemistry and the
use of drugs than did any one else In
the whole brotherhood He was also
clever enough to learn that people
trust physicians as they trust no one
else, and that a large percentage OF
the public is really fooled by any non-
sense that is clever enough to attract
them.
After he was expelled from the mon
, astery he forged theatre tickets, rob-
bed an uncle, cheated a goldsmith into
buying from him. at a large price, the
secret of a treasure cave, and being
accused of murder he was compelled to
flee Sicily and started on a wander
ing tour through Europe and the ORR
ent, perfecting himself In the best art
of all the takers he met on the way
traveller. Then, with gloriously beau
tiful girl, whom he had married In
Rome, he launched forth as the dis
coverer OF a miraculous liquor, which
he called wine of Egypt" and which
he claimed would prolong life and re-
store youth. Pointing to his lovely
young wife he related that she had re-
Gently been a withered old crone Of 80
and that he himself had lived for 1000
years by constantly drinking this
wine.
In a coach-and-four these impostors
rolled through Europe, found access
to the highest society, and mysterious
ly dispensed potions, washes, charms
and love philters. People listened
greedily to Cagliostro's absurd lies
and through the sale of his Wine OF
Egypt" he grew fabulously rich
Princes and other notables WED with
one another to do him honor, and he
speedily became one of the foremost
men Of Europe.
Apart from his wine and other
equally marvellous drugs Cagliostro
became famous as a founder of sort
of Masonic cult, and secured thou
sands of converts. He even instituted
Masonic lodges for women. He claim
ed to be of almost divine origin, said
he could make himself invisible, and
that he could transmute baser metals
into gold.
Cardinal de Rohan, bishop OF Stras-
bourg, eagerly took up Cagliostro. and
for five years followed the impostor
blindly and believed every word he
said, and in those few years he gave
the faker more than 100000.
From Strasbourg he went to Paris
where his vast charities made him
popular, and his boundless wealth
backed his assertions that he could
make gold. In this blaze of prosper
ity destruction was near. De Rohan

Gus business Of the diamond necklace
which he sold or imagined he sold to
Marie Antoinette, was thrown into the
bastile, and with him his friends. the
Cagliostros. After an Imprisonment OF
nine months they were released. but
ordered to leave Paris.
They went to England, then back to
