FIRST CHILD THE WEAKEST
Exhaustive Researches Made by Ex.
perts Seem to Have Proved
Truth Of Assertion.

Primogeniture has just received an.
other hard knock. For social, eco
nomic and political reasons it had been
abolished everywhere except in Eng.
land, where it seems to be on its last
legs; but now the biologists and physi1
clans are saying that there is strong
natural reason for setting aside the
oldest son as the heir to the estates
and the head Of the family.
It is some years since DR.. w. C1
Rivers, in studying the statistics OF q
great sanatorium in England, observed
that among tubei eulous patients the
first born provide larger number OF
subjects than any Of the other chill
dren. Prof. Karl Pearson and Profess
sors Brehmer and Riffel collected q
vast mass of statistics in England and
Germany and fully confirmed Rivers
observation. Brehmer had been teach
ing that the first-born children were
the strongest, but he proved that the
opposite was true.
The Medical Record remarks that
not only tuberculosis but insanity and
criminality show preponderating In.
cidence among the eldest children,
and quotes Professor Pearson's state.
ment that the earlier meulbers OF q.
family are more likely than the
Younger to inherit constitutional de-
fects. It adds that tendency to cod.
die, pamper and indulge the first child
may account for part Of its vulnera'|
bility to disease.

very interesting and successful. AL
though It came at a time when the

you got a handsome vicar, two good

1T is high time, those who are
supposed to be the leaders of
thought in Chicago should stop
talking about subways and the
city beautiful and take some
thought of the morality of the
children of the city.
"For things are getting no bet

worse, as the economic pressure
on the children increases"
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Michigan have been asked to join
hands with Illinois in the war on
the white slave traffic and its
causes.
Lieut.. Gov. O'Hara has written
to the governors of these states
asking for the appointment of
legislative commissions such as
the one O'Eara himself heads:
O'Hara hopes that these other
four states will work hand in
hand with Illinois, and that the
result will be the enacting of uni
form laws in the five states.

leaving for Springfield.
>"There is no use in bounding
the white slavers unless we also
do something to put an end to the

Mr.. w. F. Bozeman of Leesburg,
who is a visitor to Ocala, has written
a letter to the Sumter County Times
in which he advocates a policy of "off
with the tariff" He says that if we
want the tariff taken off of steel, and
wool, and other things that we do
not produce, we ought to be willing
to have the tariff taken off of oranges,
and other things that we do produce.
He says that Spain and Italy cannot
hurt the orange grower of Florida
very much with their little sour or
anges, especially as they come into
our markets in July and August, so do
not come in competition with our
fruit anyway. When the tariff axe is
applied no favoritism should be
shown. We agree with Mr.. Bozeman.
