Child's Health in Home and school.

Two problems concerning the
health and physical and mental de-
velopment of a child confront though
ful parents to-day, consideration Of
the child outside Of school and atten-
ton to its environment within the
school.
Whether ~ country or in city, the
home influence on its health is most
important. A constant and controll-
able factor is it's food. Herein lies
the home responsibility of the mo-
ther. She must learn that the food
of the growing child is next only in
Importance to its feeding as an in
fant, and that the greatest good
comes to it from plain, nutritious,
well-cooked and easily digested food
that it needs certain foods for body
structure and other foods to supply
heat and energy. A child should
frolic and romp and play because
there is a natural relation between
Snch muscular activity and the prop
er performance Of such food material
in carrying on their functions. The
mother must also realize that rest Is
as important for the child as play,
and that sufficient quiet, restful sleep
does it's equal part in storing energy
and bringing about perfect develop
ment. Children need sunshine venti-
latiOn and fresh air, and at night
should sleep in a we'll ventilated room
with the windows well down from the
top. They should be bathed regular
ly and clothed properly. But no mat
ter how well fed and clothed, how
clean and well nourished perviOus to
its admission to school, The parents
interest must follow the child TO the
SchOOl-rOOm and see that such pnyi-
rOnmcnt does not undermine its
health. Herein lies the responsible
ity of the father, as a citizen and tax
payer. 1t is his money that main
tains the school and ii is his duty to
see that his child is not forced into
an overcrowded, poorly ventilated,
Overheated classroom, compelled to
breathe for five hours a day the eX-
pirations from forty or fifty pairs Of
lungs, and its condition so weakened
as to render it vulnerable to the at
tacks OF infectious disease. Any one,
on reflection, will be impressed with
| the futility Of expecting maximum
progression. physical and mental.
where children are housed in over
crowded claSS-rOOms with little or no
moisture in the air. compelled to
| breathe dry, Nitiated air and TO at
tempt mental tasks with suffocated
brain-cellS deprived of natures gen.
erous supply OF oxygen. This is the
| condition in a large number of
school-roOmS throughout the land to-
! day.

WANTS $5OO,OOO TO FIGHT
Hog Cholera and Horse Diseases.
Annual Loss, $7,OOO,O0O.

Washington, Feb. 12.--An emer-
Sency appropriation of 100000 to
Eight hog cholera, and 100000 for
Aourine, horse disease. during the
coming summer, to-day was pressed
npon Congress in a favorable report
~ Chairman Lever. of the House
committee on Agriculture The COM
nrittee calculated the losses from
lose diseases annually III this coun-
try at $7,000,000.
The Senate has passed a bill ap-
proDriating 100000 to fight hog
cholera.
The report, filed to-day by Repre-
sentative Lever. Of South Carolina,
chairman Of the House Committee on
Agriculture, says:
This is an emergency apprOpria-
ton withdrawn from the general ag-
ricultural appropriation bill to enable
the department to perfect its Organi-
cation to meet the ravages Of these
diseases, which begin in the early
summer.
"The country is losing annually
through the raVageS of these diseases,
at conservative estimate. something
like $7,000,000, and this loss is dis
tributed throughout the whole coun-
try. An appropriation of $4,000
vas made by Congress last year to
meet this situation, and, although alb
solutely inadequate. remarkable re-
suits were secured by the department
in the four States in which the ex-
perimental work was done. 1t is be-
lieved that with an adequate appro-
priation and with a strong co-opera-
tive organization between Federal,
State and local authorities, the dis
ease may be reduced, controlled and
substantially cradiCated."
The report sets forth the fact that
pOrk-hOg meat and hog products
compose the basis of the everyday
meal of the average consumer, and
that as hogs and hog products are
largely the subjects Of Interstate
traffic, it is incumbent upon the Fed
eral government 20 take urgent steps
toward the control of this disease un-
til the department can build up a
permanent cooperative organization
with the several States looking to-
ward the final eradication of the dis
ease.

BLEA ASE-GRACE LOVE FEAST.
Incident Said to Forcshadow New
Linc-Up in First District.
columbia Record, 12th.)

Who put the "spon" in spontaneous
when Governor Cole l.. Blease and
Mayor John p. Grace buried the
tOmmyhawk in Charleston last night,
after years Of political warfare, and,
| fguratively speaking, kissed and
made up
This is a question which to-day is
causing speculation in every section
OF the State, for behind their peace
| proclamation is supposed to lurk a
carefully planned program. which
| may materially change the complex
ion Of the political situation in South
| Carolina.
1t was during the banquet given by
| the city Of Charleston in honor Of
| members Of the General Assembly
and their friends who visited that
| city yesterday that the incident oc-
Cured.
TO say that it created a profound
sensation is putting it mildly. The
peace treaty was such a surprise to
| the States lawmakers that for a time
nearly every person in the BANQUET
hall was completely dumbfounded.
Enthusiasm Breaks LUosc.
Then the floodgates Of enthusiasm
broke and the hall resounded with
the applause of friends OF both OH
cials.
so unexpected was the climax to
the BleaSc-Gracc war, moreover, that
it was not until the banquet was well
over and the visiting lawmakers were
on their way to Columbia that the
real inwardness of the unexpected
spectacle began to form itself in the
minds Of the politicians.
TO Record man, who accompanied
the legislators on their trip, Governor
Blease declared that the ending Of
the fcud was a surprise to both him
self and to Mayor Grace.
When asked if the settlement Of
their political differences meant that
Mayor Grace would make the race for
Congress to succeed Congressman
r. S. Whaley in the First District,
Governor Bleasc said:
Settlement Of the differences be-
tween Mayor Grace and myself was
entirely SPONTANEOUS. We did not
have ar. previous conversation re-
gard'ng it."
Peace Long Desired.
Despite the spontannity Of the Incl
dent as far as the Governor and
Mayor Grace is concerned. however.
it is understood that close friNnds of
both officials have been seeking to
bring about an amicable understand
ing between the Governor and mayor
for several months.
From n statement made on the
train by w. p. Beard to the Records s
representative last night, Mr.. Beard
and Mayor Grace'S wife were both
leading factors in bringing the white
dove Of peace to the banquet board.
Mr.. Beard went so far as to pre-
diet last night that, as an outcome of
| the general truce now patched up,
| that Grace would aid the Governor in
his fight for the United States Senate.

THE FoLLvoF THE RECALL.

The Seattle election demonstrates
what needed no demonstration, that
neither the direct primary system OF
nomination nor the recall Of public OIL
cialsscan reform city. Mayor Hiram
e. McGill was recalled in 1910. few
months after his election, because
some people thought he was too liberal
in running the town. This year he was
nominated for the same office at the
primaries and won over all the oppos-
Ing candidates of his party, and at the
election this week he carried the city
by. a large majority. He Is evidently
the kind of mayor Seattle wants,
therefore, he is the, kind of mayor
Seattle should have. He has been chos-
On with full knowledge of what he Is
and what he stands for, and should be
allowed to serve out his term.
Meanwhile the advocates Of the re-
call should correct their thinking. They
ought to know that every community
has the kind of government for which
1t Is lifted, that responsibility for evils
rests upon the voters, and that no per-
ranent improvement will come until
the great mass OF voters demand it..
