CURE FOR HUNCHBACKS
PROMISED BY PHYSICIAN
Philadelphia Declares No Child's
Spine Need Be Deformed.
Method of Treatment.

PHILADELPHIA, July 19-"No child
need ever again grow up hunchback +"
This statement was made by physician
of this city. who has saved two babies
from being crippled for life. Another
child Is undergoing in his tenement home
on American street the first part of the
treatment, with the promise to his
mother that his back will be made
straight and strong for the rest of his
life by October.
The new treatment can be given at
home. with 10 more trouble to the mother
than the ordinary care of helpless baby
would mean, the doctor explains
Long and costly hospital treatment and
months of agony for the little victims
strapped to the neck in hot and expensive
plaster casts are done away with
Undergoes Grating Process.
The apparatus used is nothing but an

is performed. if necessary
The secret of the treatment is that the
Ieaden sides of the frame bend as the
back straightens. SO that the baby takes
a natural position and the back is kept
perfectly straight. The pressure against
the tendency to 'hunch" is gradually in
creased
This fall some bits of bone will be taken
from the legs of the American street

to cripple him for life. so he will be made
as strong as he was at birth.

Do GUIDES FORM TRUST?
System at the Capitol Ex-
planned by Sergeant-at-
Arms of the House.

II the present arrangement at the Capt.

trust" then that is one trust that will
probably remain right under the shadow

geant-at-arms of the House Of Repre-
sentatives Mr.. Gordon was speaking OF
a published statement to the effect that
the conductor Of a sightseeing. automo-
bile made remarks to Chief Guide Cady
because Chief Cady would not allow the
conductor to do a bit of unauthorized
guiding throughout the Capitol building.
was that the guide situation amounted
to a nefarious trust.
Method Of Appointment.
Guides in the Capitol explained the
sergeant-at-arms of the House, ARE. ap-
pointed exactly as policemen at the Capt.
toll are appointed. There are twelve OF
them, and when a vacancy occurs the ap-
pointment is made by the sergeants-at-
arms of the House and Senate. They are
required to live up to certain standards
to indicate the points of interest with
accuracy and with interesting familiarity
with their subjects. and, being the officia
guides, there Is no way for them to mis-
lead the public.
I'VE find ii is much better way to dea
with the guide question than to have any
number of freebooters in here, such as oc
Cured some years ago, when they would
fight for the possession of sightseeing

FOR IMMEDIATE SERVICE

Guard Officials Comforting
Over Proposed Bill.

Complete agreement has been reached
between the War Department and the
executive committee of the National
Guard Association on the general outline
or a bill designed to make the organized
militia available for immediate service
in any part of the world as part Of the
regular army.
The measure will be perfected I'm the
near future and introduced in Congress
with the Endorsement of the War Depart
ment and the state militia authorities
Conferences on the proposed bill have
been in progress here for several days be-
tween Acting Secretary Breckenridge, for
the department and Maj. Gen Edward
Young, adjutant general of Illinois; Brig
Gen. John G. Chase, adjutant general of
Colorado; Brig. Gen. James Drain of the
state OF Washington, and Col. Harvey
of the District of Columbia National
Guard, constituting the National Guard
executive committee.
Payments for Service.
The proposed new law would provide
for the payment of militiamen by the
national government, the payments to be
made in lump sums to the state author
tiles and disbursed upon reports by in
spectors of the regular army, testifying
to the complete efficiency of the militia
to be paid.
1t would overcome the effect of a de-
cision by Attorney General Wickersham,
that the present militia cannot be used
outside OK the territorial limits of the
United States. That is to be accomplish
ed by maintaining the militia in strict
accordance with the regular army organ
