INSURANCE COMPANIES AWAKEN

over $2O5,OOO,OO0 in death claims
we're distributed in 1912 by Life In
surance Companies in the United
States. This large distribution of
money is causing the Life Insurance
Companies to wake up and to realize
that the protection of public health
is good business proposition. Today
a number of them are engaged in a
public health campaign for the pur-
pose OF conserving the health of the
people of the United. States. Such
little lessons as was taught by science
at Pittsburg, Pa, where they reduced
the death rate from Typhoid Fever by
filtering the water, from 1856 in 1907
to SO in 1912, has caused these busi-
ness men to recognize that prevention
is better than cure, and that public
health is not fad for a doctor 70
preach. If it is good business for
Life Insurance it certainly ought to
be good business for the State, County
City and Municipality.

WHAT is A HEALTH OFFICERl

Public health work does not mean
that health official is simply a quar-
antine officer. You need to be pro-
tected against yourself and your own
indiscretions far more than you need
protection from your neighbor. Proper
living. proper dieting, and proper ex-
ercise will extend your life and save
you more doctor bills than all the fads
in Christendom.

TRIXIE'S BRIDEGROOM
TURNS OUT TO BE REAL
BOARDING HOUSE BURGLAR

AS a sea- Ell to the recent spectacu-
lar marriage of Archie Babcock, Jr.,
to Miss Trixie Clarendon, of the
CIark's Runaway Girls Company,
which was celebrated before Mayor
Clifford B. Wilson and a large assem-
b1age of Bridgeport's official set,
comes the news from Easton, Pa, that
the groom is held under the alias of
Bert Hugh as a burglar of note.
Babcock, the son of a rich Paterson,
N. J., silk manufacture was captured
in Easton after he had robbed
boarding house in Bangor, Pa. The
loot was found in his possession.
After a sweating process by the
authorities he confessed to his iden-
THY and also disclosed his connection
with other robberies including the
Station agent at haywood, Nj, whom
he held up at the point of a gun. He
pleaded guilty Monday before Judge
Scott and was sentenced to tire years
at hard labor in the Pennsylvania
state penitentiary.
He is wanted in both Philadelphia
and New Haven, for bigamy, the lat
ter warrant having been issued by
Miss Clarendon. after leaving Bridge
port where she was so unauspiciousIy
welded. The deserted bride is now
playing in Paterson where she first
met the youth.

has had it's difficulties, specially in

The plans. projects and theories of
the great Chinese patriot are set forth
in an article he contributed to a re-
cent number of the Shanghai China
Press. He has been charged by the
government with the gigantic task of
building 10000 miles of railroads
within the next ten years, the lines
to be constructed, owned and ope-at-
ed by the state. This colossal rail-
road system. including q number of
transcontinental lines reaching the
most remote parts of China, is to be
the beginning of the Chinese Socia1is-
tic control of all the necessities OF
life. DR.. Sun believes that China,
thus developed without what he calls
the evils of modern industriaHsn,' -
will be unified and prosperous and
