EsK!MOS LAUGH AT DYSPEPSIA
People in the Far North Consume Any
thing, and Never Suffer the Pan9s
of Indigestion.

We hear much of American dysPep-
STA, but there is one native race OF
America that is certainly not troubled
In this respect. The Eskimo denes
al the laws of hygiene and thriVes. he
eats, until he is satisfied, but Is SAID
never to be satisfied while a shred OF
his feast remains unconsumed. his
capacity is limited by the supply, ana
by that only.
The Eskimo cannot make any mis-
take about the manner of cooking his
food, since, as a rule, he does not COOK
it. Nor, so far as the blubber or rat
of the arctic animal is concerned, Is
the Eskimo concerned about his man
ner of eating it. Indeed, he may be
said not to eat it at all. He cuts II
into long strips an inch wide and an
inch thick, and then lowers the strips
down his throat as one might lower
rope into a well.
Despite all this, the Eskimo does
not suffer from Indigestion. He can
make a good meal off the flesh and
skin of the walrus, provision so hard
and gritty that in cutting up the ami
NAL the knife must be continually
sharpened.
The teeth Of a little Eskimo child
will, it is said by those in a position
to know, meet in bit of walrus skin
as the teeth of an American child
would meet in the flesh of an apple,
although the hide of the walrus Is
from half an inch to an inch in thick
ness, and bears considerable resem-
blance to the hide Of an elephant.
The Eskimo child will bite it and di-
gest it and never know what dyspepsia
means.-Harper's Weekly.

Baby Health Contest.

1. is also proposed that in the Child
Welfare Building there shall be a
baby Health Contest" The one OBJ
ject of this contest will be to set up
standard of health for the babies.
The absurd features-too often cruel
Of many baby shows.Will be done away
with by this feature. The Babies
Clinic of Knoxville has agreed to CO.
operate in the Baby Health Contest"
Here is the way in which it will be
carried on: First, there will he stand
ar1 score card. Thes the physical de.
velopment of the child is compared
with the score card, and a certificate
or medal is given in accordance with
the facts. There is no competition be-
tween babies, but only the effort to
reach a standard. But the very pur
pose of the Child Welfare Department
Of the exposition would not be served
unless there were something further.
There will be advices to mothers offer
ed by competent men and women.
Thus the child will be benefited and
also the parents.
These are only two of the many fea-
lures that will form part of the ex-
hibits in the Child Welfare Building at
the exposition. Miss Julia c. Lathrop,
chief of the the Children's Bureau of
the United States Department of La
Dor and one of the most noted women
In the country, is in full charge of the
plans and preparations. that are being
made for these exhibits. Miss Lathrop
was for many years associated with
Mss Jane Adams in the splendid
work that is being done by the Hull
House settlement in Chicago.

A Glasgow journalist who was care
less of his personal appearance was
assigned to write something about a
show at leading Glasgow theater:
He presented his card at box-office.
The manager came out and looked
at the disheveled visitor obviously.

Here Is Something New For

Most Noted Women, at Head of This
Department for Knoxville Show
Every Mother Will Be Interested IN

Check your baby, madame?"

This is going to be one of the queries
that will be heard frequently during
the progress of the big National Con-
servation Exposition in Knoxville,
Tenn. The exposition will throw open
Its gates on September and will con-

things that the progressive men and
women in charge of the Child Welfare
Exhibit will arrange for the exposition.
The question asked above and answer
ed affirmatively does not mean that
baby will be checked, tagged and then
pu: in an oblong compartment like a
suit case. Rather, it will mean that
baby will be taken in charge by COM
petent nurses and we'll cared for.
There is going to be "babies'
room" in the Child Welfare Building
at the National Conservation EXPOSE
ton, room, well lighted, airy, screen
ed and daintily furnished. There will
be plenty of room for the children to
rcmp ard play; there will also be coy
rest rooms, where the little ones can
sleep when their eyes become heavy
and their little legs tired.
Experience has shown that many
mothers, rather than miss the show,
such as the National Conservation EX-
position will be must bring the little
ones. The management of the expo
sition welcomes the children. 1t wants
every child to see the wonders on dis
play. But at the same time the wom-
en- in charge of the Child Welfare De-
partment realize how necessary it is
to have a place where mother can

After Four Years Of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Upin Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.

Catron, Ky.-In all interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bette Bullock
writes as follows: ''I suffered for four
wears, with wo1lanly troubles, and during
this time, could only sit up for little
while, and could moi walk anywhere at
all. At times, would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
r1ent relieved me for a while, but | was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.

back to live with him, and Plew was
frequent visitor. But now Plew and
Wakefield had frequent quarrels.
Plew apparently wanted Bessie for
himself and schemed to get her.
One Sunday early in July, Plew
came to the Wakefield home with
revolver and a handkerchief satur-
ated with chloroform.
The facts regarding that dreadful
evening are vague. Bessie had been
alarmed by Plew's wild talk, and had
taken his revolver and hid it. Later
when he demanded it she gave it to
him again. Plew always had power
over the simple, yielding girl. Ac-
quaintances say that she would jump
to obey him.
There was a quarrel between the
men, then they left the house. After
wards Wakefeld's body was found
twelve miles away.
When Plew was arrested he told a
strange story of that night, confess
ing that he had killed Wakefield and
declaring that Bessie had helped.
Bessie was arrested. The coroner
forced a confession from her when
she had no lawyer or friend present
and when she did not realize the in
eliminating nature of her hystericai
admissions. People who knew her
we'll say that Bessie is the suggest
ibIe" type that can be made to admit !
almost anything. She has ever since
protested that she is innocent.
She was convicted of, first degree |
murder on the strength of Plew's ac-
cusation and this alleged confession.
The Judge held to the letter of the |
law. The jury-not segregated dur
ing the trial-was swayed by public |
opinion, which had demanded her
death.
During the four months between
Bessie's arrest and conviction not a
single man, woman or child visited
