SEVERAL DON'TS
FOR PUPILS OF
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
AS SAFEGUARDS TO HEALTH
Physician Gives Advice on
Subject

How school children, in order to
enjoy the very best of health and
avoid as far as possible the contrac
ton of contagious and infectious dis
eases, from the time they arise in the
morning until they return home in
the afternoon from their studies, is
told in list of don 'ts", which has
been prepared by a prominent physi-
clan who has made children and their
ailments an especial study.
Children, naturally, are in nine
cases out of ten, quite healthy, he
says, and all of their ailments are
caused by vocious habits, as he terms
them.
These vicious" habits, he says, are
usually improper diet, or poor or
faulty hygiene. If children are given
the right kind of food and are kept
clean, he says, they will experience
very little illness, and as such is
usually the case, he declared, there
are very few don't" which he has
to suggest. But the don't he men,
tons, he says, are all important and
should be observed.
Here is the list:
Don't 60 to school without brush
ing the teeth.
Don't go to school without having
first breakfasted.
Don't wrap lunch in newspapers.
Newspapers are usually dusty from
lying around the house, being carried
through the streets and being handled
by so many people, and as a result
are laden with germs
Don't share apples and candies and
lunch with fellow scholars. Their
lunch may bring disease germs to
you. Your lunch may give disease
germs to them.
Don't bite off the same apple, the
same stick of candy, the same sand
witch.
Don't swap chewing gum.
Don't patronize the candy vend ~
who hawks his wares in the street.
They catch dust and minute particles
from the street, no matter how care
full he may be. And he is not very
careful as a rule.
Don't patronize the penny ice
cream vendor. The case is the same,
ii not worse, because his ice cream 3
even more liable to catch flying par
ticles than candy.
Don't have the lunch carried to
school consisting mostly of dill
pickles, candies, cakes or jelly, jam
and other sweet stuff. They upset
the stomach, and even though no
immediate effects may be felt, tend
10 lower the power of resistance 10
disease. Carry something stable, sub
stantial, he advises.

Following the disaster, hundreds OF
damage claims were filed against the
Oceanic Steam Navigation Company,
controlling the White Star line. To-
morrow has been fixed by the court as
the final day for reception of these and
it is believed the total amount asked
will exceed Ss,000,OO0.. From this list

are sordid, reflect thrilling lights OF
the catastrophe.

JUMPED OR FELL FROM TRAIN.
Dead Body of Man Found Near
Burkc's Station a Few
lsa Days Ago.

One night last week man appeared
at the Union passenger station for the
purpose of taking train for Rich
mond. He carried bag containing
plaster's tools with the initials "F G."
upon the same. He appeared to have
been drinking, and after a'southbound
train on the Southern Railway had left
the station the man was found to be
missing. He had not called at the
baggage room for his bag, and it was
supposed he had boarded the Southern
train.
The next morning the dead body Of
man was found alongside the rail
way track near Burke's station. From
an examination it was seen that the
unfortunate had jumped or fallen from
a train.
Yesterday a man appeared at the
Union station and asked to be shown
the bag containing the tools. He rec
ognized it as having belonged to his
brother and stated that he had visited
Burke's station, procured the remains
and had them inferred in Washington.
He did not leave his name, nor that Of
his late brother.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
J. Fred BirrclI Will Have Opponent in
Race For Delegate.

Announcement is made that Major
E. w. r. Ewing, of Bsllston, will en-
ter the democratic primaries for the
House Of Delegates in opposition to
J. Fred Birrell, who announced his
candidacy several months ego.
As has been the case in by-gone
years, the county will during the COM
ing campaign, it seems, claim the Del
egate. The late Frank Hume, who re-
sided in the county, was tie last dele
gate from THAT section. Shortly after
the return OF Virginia to the union the
city and county were allowed two del
egates, and one from the city and one
from the county were chosen. For a
long time, however, but one has been
allowed; hence the county has occa-
sionally claimed the representative.
Mr.. Birrell was Ia candidate for The
office four years ago but was defeated
by Robinson Moncure. Mir. Moncure
was elected two years ago without
opposition and declined to serve an
other term this year. Mr.. Birreil
is member of City Council from the
Second ward. He served for several
terms 2. sa clerk to some of the impor-
poriant committees of the House of
Delegates.

ing with pneumonia symptoms.

thar the kidney trouble is entirely
