United States Bureau Of Education
Thus Describes the kindergarten
Vim 0rphanages

Washington, D. C., Dec. 9.-The kin
dergarten as a "humanizing factor" in
orphanages and other institutions of
child 'bettement is described in a bull
letin, "The Kindergarten in Benevolent
Institutions" just issued by the Unit
ed States Bureau of Education. Heads
of such institutions declare that the
kindergarten supplies at least a partial
substitute for the family influence and
for the spontaneous activity lacking in
institutional life.
The report says: "The kindergarten

THE FATNESS OF RlaLTH
Samose Fills Out the Curves and Makes
Thin People Fat

If you are thin, your health is not
what it should be. If you are losing
weight steadily, there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once. You cannot be healthy and
strong if you are thin.
Perfect health and good, solid beautiA

OF Samose, the remarkable fesh-form-

restores thin people to normal condi-
tlon of good healthy flesh. t, 7s,

FACES IS YEARS in JAIL

to q prison term of 45 years for vari-
ous robberies, which he was convicted
of, J. H. Freyer, of Allentown, was
brought here yesterday by postal in
spectors, who say that he faces another
prison sentence Of 40 years for chain
of postoffice robberies. According to
the inspectors, Freyer confessed robbing
number of postofiices in Bucks and
Lehigh counties. .1 goa
Freyer told the inspectors a weird
tale of having been so bounded by sew
eral men during recent years because
he possessed the secret of buried tenn
pie, filled with gold, in the Sahara Des-
ert. The secret, he said, was given him
by an old man whose life he saved
some years ago on the Erie Canal. I'm,
mediately afterward the men put in
appearance and have followed him from
place to place, torturing him, in an eff
fort to obtain the secret. The postal
inspectors will have the mans mental
condition inquired into.

Paris Playhouses

The receipts for the theatres and
music halls of Paris have just been
published. These statements are re-
quired by law in view of the poor re.
lief tax levied ON these earnings. The
figures, states the Paris correspondent
of the London "Times,' have never
been as high as they are for last year
nearly $13,Ss3,0O0. They exceed by
$5S3,000 the record established in
1912 and by $1,946,000 the returns
for 1911. The increase is due princi-
pally to the takings of cinematograph
shows. These establishments in 1913
earned $1,655,000 as compared with
$1,314,000 the year before.
