this connection it is well to note that the value of the
manufactured output Of Anderson County exceeds

the third largest cotton tnrn county in the

would seem to be no reason why this industry should

Strange Events Have Kept Dead NO.
man Travelling Back and Forth.
London.-The strange story of an un-
buried body which is about. to start
on its sixth trip across the Atlantic
is told by the DAILY Telegraph's Berlin
correspondent. A woman died in the
United States last summer Her new
ly married daughter and her son-1n-
law determined to inter the body in
the mothers native place, Breslau. The
cemetery authorities there demanded
$1,250 for burial in the family vault,
and, regarding the charge exorbitant,
the daughter decided to take the body
back to America.
Upon arriving at New York, how
ever, she found awaiting her a letter
to the effect that the controllers Of the
cemetery were prepared to reduce the
price of grave, whereupon she and
her husband forthwith returned with
the body to Breslau. There fresh
differences of opinion arose, and, as
there appeared to be no chance of
agreement, the mothers body once
more was transported to New York.
Shortly after this the daughter and
her husband became tired of the land
Of their adoption and made up their
minds to repatriate themselves in Ger
many. Accordingly they packed up
their personal belongings and. with
the body of the mother, once more ap-
peared in Breslau. Meanwhile the
difficulty with the proprietors of the
cemetery was composed, and at last
the much Travelled body was consigned
to the tomb. But even now it is not
to be left in peace. The restless couple
decided that after all the new world
was better than the old and resolved
to recross the Atlantic once more, TAX
ing with them the body of the mother
But the cemetery authorities refused
to surrender the body, so the daughter
took the case before the law courts.
The first decision given was against
her, but now, on appeal, she has OBJ
tanned an order that her mothers body
be delivered to her.

the great majority of delinquent
boys need in the Strengthening out of
tummy tangles and other physical dis
orders that have tendency to start
them on the wrong moral slant.
Acting upon the premise that the
bad boy is generally a sick boy" Mr..
Hilles said, 1--WE determined some time
ago to maintain thorough physical
study of the youngsters sent to us. We
found our boys to be sick. Sixty-fve
per cent of them were anemic-the re-
suit of poor food and irregular habits
of living. To this half starved condi-
ton could be attributed the hayward
ness and viciousness of the boys.
I'VE found that more than 80 per
are all under fifteen years Of age
came to us with bad teeth. For years
these boys have been unable to chew
their food properly. They have acquired
the habit of boiling verything they
put into their mouths. The natural
consequence has been multiplied ton
of stomach and intestinal disorders.
The boys were dragged down in a
physical manner and really through no
fault of their own became physical de-
generates and moral delinquents.'
Mr.. Hilles said the first investigation
dealt with 634 boys, of whom fifty-two.
a little more than 8 per cent, were free
from some kind of physical abnormal
ity. The examinations proved that
most of the troubles from which the
boys suffered came from the teeth.
"Immediately upon admission to the
Children's Village" he continued, "the
boy is sent to the dentist, who makes a
searching examination of his teeth. All
possible repairs are made. hopelessly
decayed teeth are extracted, those less
seriously diseased are filed and crown
ed. Finally there is a thorough clean
ing Of the teeth. Then the boy is sent
tc his room with a toothbrush and with
paste. He experiences so much relief
and experiences it so quickly that al
ways the boy is glad to give to his
teeth the necessary attention.
Regularly every six months each
boy in the village visits the dentist.
Never again as long as he is with us is
be permitted to suffer because his
teeth lack attention.
by the time the boy has completed
his two years in the Children's Village
that is the average length of his stay
he has approached the average for
his years in size and in weight Every
spring the village sends a squad of
boys into the west, where amid new
surroundings and forgetting the stigma
of the past they begin a useful life in
the open country. Remembering that
about 81 per cent of the boys are sub
normal when they come to us, that
they are moral delinquents. physical
degenerates and mental detectives, It
is thorough demonstration, believe,
that we are right when we say that
the dentist is the greatest influence for
good known to us. that more than 80
per cent of our boys make good and
are successful after they leave us"
