EF ANYONE doubts the urgent need
of effective measurne for rndrc-
ing the number of detectives 10
this country, let him co
pertinent facts: The number of in
sane, imbeciles, inebriates and crimi-
nails is steadily increasing; and all
these conditions are the result of bad
heredity. Or, stated in another way,
II none of these conditions existed
at the present time they would not
exist in the future, excepting the
negligible numbers caused by in
jures.
The study of heredity is making
tremendous strides these days. And
one Of the facts 1t has established
beyond dispute is that feeble-mind-
edness is hereditary, and transmits
sible to offspring in exact proportion
to the mental capacity of the parent.
Thus if both parents are feeble-mind-
ed all of their children will be de-
fective without exception. Even
when one parent is normal, and the
other is feeble-minded, large pro-
portion of their children will be de-
fective, and none of the others will
be exceptionally bright.
Prof. H. H. Goddard, who has
charge of the institutions for mental
detectives at Vineland, N. j., has
spent many years in proving these
facts. Some Of the evidence he pre-
sents is most convincing. For exam
pie, he has the record of Revolu-
tionary soldier named Martin Kali
kak, who first married an imbecile
girl, and later a normally-developed
woman. Both women bore him chill
dren, whose descendants have been
ferreted out after years Of patient
toll by Prof. Goddard. The imbecile
girls direct descendants number 480.
the normal woman's 1876. There are
IA feeble-minded, and only forty
four normal children recorded in the
imbecile wife's line Of descendants,
while no case Of feeble-mindedness
is recorded among the descendants
Of the more fortunate woman.

USE OF SKINNED MILK IN
EEVERS

n N EASTERN clinician, who has
been making some exhaustive
studies of various diets, offers
some useful suggestions in the treat
ment of fevers. Solid foods should
not be taken during an acute febrile
attack of any kind The tolerance
for starchy foods during fever Is
limited and in many cases contra
indicated. Fat In the form Of butter
or cream may be harmful; but skim
med milk diluted with an equal
quantity Of water may be used free
ly and in many ways. Thus farina
or oatmeal cruel, or barley cruel
made with diluted skinned milk is
we'll borne, and can be made very
appetizing. Fruit juices. particularly
orange juice and pineapple juice, are
lseful In 1uenching the thirst; but
vater, and plenty Of it, is the stand
Ivy, and has the advantage Of being
lightly laxative in febrile conditions.
BY this method of feeding the patient
eceives very low percentage Of
sugar and casein, and practically no
eat.

NEW INSULATING AND RUST
PREVENTING CHEMICAL.

Il NEW insulating and rust-prevent-
"a material, known as "paracit.
has been brought out in Ger
many. This material is said to
possess extreme resistance to chemi-
cal influences Of all kinds. 1t is an
efficient electrical insulator and Is
neither cracked by heat nor split off
by fatty acids. Paracit coatings, to
be dried in the air or in an oven,
are applied to metal objects by brush
immersion or spraying methods, and
II the material is intended to stand
high temperatures 1t Is subjected to
heat treatment. Such coatings are
being used not only to resist acids,
alkalies and atmospheric influences.
but are being applied successfully to
boiler tubes to protect them from
the corrosive action of the water.

"SUNBURN" THAT DOESN'T OOME
OFF

N NEW variety of "sunburn" has
"a recently made its appearance
in California, and seems to be
spreading. The curious part of it is
that person may get it without be-
ing exposed to the sun. But what is
even more peculiar is the fact that
the burn" develops on the hands
and face. which are the parts usual
ly exposed to sunlight.
This peculiar condition may fok
low what appears to be an attack Of
Indigestion, or long period of ner.
vousness, or nervous breakdown; OF
1t may precede any of these condi-
tions. In any event, it usually makes
its appearance as a discolOration Of
the skin over the knuckles, the backs
Of the fingers and hands, and on the
forehead, the discoloration resem-
bling ordinary sunburn, but having
a peculiarly bronzed appearance.
This condition is not caused by sun.
light, but is a symptom Of the dan
gerOuS disease, pellagra.
This disease has been observed foY
some time in the Sc tn. In that re-
gion 1t is found mostly among the
poorer classes living in bad hygienis
surroundings, and eating poor and
badly-cooked food. AS these people
live largely on corn meal, and as the
corn eaters in Europe are affected
with this disease. it was thought foI
some time that this cereal was re-
sponsible for the malady. But this
belief has been discarded, and the
exact cause of the disease is still 4
mystery.
Recently the disease has appeared
in California, and seems to be max
ing headway. On this coast, hows
ever, 1t is not confining its attacks
to the poorer classes, or to corn
eaters" but is invading the upper
walks Of life as we'll.

n COMBINED toothpick and tooth
II brush is novelty recently per-
fected. 1t is made of special
wood which can be shredded to form
a soft and fleecy brush at one end,
doing away with the necessity of in
serting any of the usual brush ma
terials. The idea is that after using
the pointed end to pick the teeth,
the device can be turned and used
Immediately as brush. 1t Is stated
that the market price of this article
will be so low that it can be thrown
away after being used once.

, NOVEL METHOD OF INDUCING
SLEEP.


= vERYONE is familiar with the
time-honored method of fnduc-

aginary animals and counting them.
An even more effective method, If
we may believe the author Of '"The
Science Of Happi2 ess," is one pre-
cisely opposite-/that Of keeping out
imaginary objects instead Of conjur-
ing them in.

'"rhe thing is not difficult for dis

OF course, through association your

other line Of thought; but this also
