MOVIES TO FIGHT
DREAD DISEASE

The Maryland Association for Pre-
vention and Relief of tuberculosis, as
an aid in it's nti-tuberculosis cam
paign, is endeavoring to have shown
throughout the state, the motion pic
ture film, "The Temple of Moloch',
prepared by Thomas A. Edison, in CO.
operation with the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. The showing of the fam
should stimulate general interest in
the Associations prevention propa
ganda and encourage the public to
support the RED CROSS CHRIST
MAS SEAL campaign.
The story of the film, "The Temple
of Moloch", develops in a small vii
lage, the chief industries of which are
some potteries, owned by Harrison
Pratt. He also owns a group of d.
lapidated tenements, in which most Of
his employees live. DR.. Jordan, health
officer of the village, is struck with
the prevalence of tuberculosis and on
investigation finds that the unsani
tary working conditions in the Pratt,
potteries, together with the unhealth!
state of the tenement houses of tn,
workmen have most to do with tn
spread of the disease. He calls tn
matter to the attention of Pratt, who
rebuffs him and tells him it is no use
to try to do anything in the matter
Meanwhile, DR.. Jordan has fallen in
love with E!oise, the daughter of Har-
rison Pratt, and she has become in
terested in his work, particularly that
at the preventorium for children from
tuberculous families. Three times
Jordan appeals to Pratt, and each time
he is rebuffed. Finally, in despair be-
tween his love for Eloise and his duty,
he exposes the conditions he has dis
covered through articles in the news
papers, in which he calls the Pratt
potteries and tenements a modern
Temple of Mo!och", in that they feed
young children to the God of Greed.
When Eloise, who is ignorant of con
ditions in the factory, sees the paper
she Immediately resents what she con-
siders an insult to her father and re-
turns her engagement ring to DR.. Jor-
dan.
Aweek later Pratt's daughter and
son are found to have tuberculosis.
When Eric Swanson, a former EN-
ploye of Pratt's, who had been dis
charged because he had contracted
'potter's rot" in the mills and was no
longer able to work, hears of it he
eXults over the calamity, which he
views as sort of personal vengeance.
He musters all of his strength and
steals away to the Pratt home, where
Eloise and her brother are taking
the cure for tuberculosis on the porch
and there denounces Pratt gloating
over him and telling him that his son
and daughter We're originally infected
as young children by Cora Swanson,

JUDGES AND DIGESTION
A Prison Reformer Says Many Prison Sci
tences are Results of Bad Digestions

tences are Results of Bad Digestions
A well-known member of the State
Prison Commission of New York in re-
cent address in Buffalo is reported to have
said: s. The whole system of sentencing is
absurd. The length of a mans sentence
sometimes depends upon the Judges
Digestion
There may be some difference of opinion
as to the correctness of this assertion
when applied to Judges, but if this prison
reformer had gone a little further and
declared that many crimes may be traced
to bad digestion he would have stated a
truth universally recognized and upon
which there is little room for controversy
Of course Judges are only human beings
and to say that their dispositions are some
times affected by their digestions is simply
another wav of affirming the fact that they
are human. No man who has disordered
or impaired digestion is capable of think
ing clearly, fairly. judiciously. So far as
crimes are concerned, it would not be
possible to compile statistics showing the
intimate relation between crime and in
digestion. Indigestion disturbs mental
equilibrium, poisons the blood and leads
to acts which could never be committed
by a man whose digestive powers are in
good working order. A quarrelsome tenn
permanent is aggravated and quite often
developed by an excess of high protoid
foods. Whether the more heinous crimes
can be traced to indigestion or not, it is a
fact that well balanced ration such as
shredded wheat biscuit with fresh fruits
develops an evenness of disposition and
Oh pshaw: its only an old advertisement,
and was SO interested.

plane, or either from chisel. But
it the names and uses of thirty tools
can be learned outright, it is not
too much to ask the same boy to
learn in the same way eight parts of
speech.
1t is this simplicity of arrange
ment that makes grammar possible,
whether considered as a science or
as an art. In order to be good
gram marians, we do not need to
know what to do with these hun
dred thousand words, but only what
to do with eight classes of words.
A sentence is a combination of
words expressing a complete thought
as, God is good" All speech, like
all music, falls into octaves. We
might represent each part of speech
by letter of the musical scale,
thus:
A-Noun. F-Preposition
B--Pronoun. G-Conjunction
C-Adjective. A'-Interjection.
Then any statement that could
possibly be made in human speech
could be represented by some group
lug of the letters of this octave, just
as music that can be written or sung.
can be represented by some ar
rangement of the letters of the mus
ical scale. Thus let me represent
by letters, as above, the sentence |
gave,
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1914-04-30
| A-Noun. F-I'reposition
B--Pronoun. G-Conjunction
God is good.
A d c.
Noun Verb Adjective

Noun Verb Adjective
Then we may put any noun what.
ever in the place of A. then any
verb whatever in the place of d
and any adjective whatever in the
place of G. We could thus change
the meaning of the sentence in the
greatest variety of ways, and you
yet use only the same three parts of
speech, noun. verb and adjective
The sentence may even be con-
Trajectory in meaning, but grammat-
ically they will be all alike, so long
as we use only these three parts o1
speech, as,
A D c.
Pictures were bad.
Time is feeting,
Prisoners are sensitive.
These statements, so different In
meaning, are all alike grammatical
ly, each consisting of noun, verb
and adjective, A, d, c..
These three sentences contain
nine words. but dramatically they
contain only three parts of speech
In order to know the grammar OF
these three sentences with theil
nine words, we need only to know
the grammar of three parts Of
speech. Now l might 60 on ad in.
tinitum and make long sentences
containing all the parts of speech
Still, in order to know the grammar
of those long sentences, we should
not need to know all about the
hundreds of words they might con
tain. but only about the eight parts
of speech.
So it will be seen that grammar
is very easy study if we go at il
in the right way. We have only
eight things to learn. When we
know all about noun, pronoun, ad.
jective, verb. adverb, proposition
conjunction and interjection, We
know all about grammar. When
we have mastered the eight parts
of speech that make up our gram
matical scale, we can compass all
the various melody of human Ian
guage. All that we may ever have
to speak. write or read, in tens OF
thousands of words, will be but
some varying arrangement of the
eight Parts of Speech"

SEE IN JACK LONDON
AN OLD OSWEGO BOY
Residents of Town Sure John
Barleycorn" Discloses Him
as Harry Sands.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Oswego. y. Y, Jan. 9.-Jack London,
the author. is believed by the family OF
Walter Bassett. of No. 50 East Mo-
hawk street, and W. V. Lund. OF East
Oneida. to be Harry Sands, an Oswego
boy. who forsoolI his home at the age
of twelve in search of adventure and
whose wherea bouts since then has re-
NAMED mystery Letters were re
ceived here to-day from Massachusetts
relatives of Sands saying it was their
belief after months of inquiry that
London was from Oswego and was
Harry Sands.
An investigation at the homes OF for
mer neighbors disclosed that young
Sands left home about twenty years
ago and went West. He was a devo-
tee OF books of adventure, was always
on the shore OF Lake Ontario and
in early life manifested 2 tendency
toward characteristics for which Jack
London is now famous.
London. it is said, neither recalls his
birthplace or early life in recent story
purporting to be his life's history, pub
lshed under the title of John Barley
corn" The Bassett and Lund families
believe several parts of this story bear
out their theory. London is TO be COM
municated with by the Oswego resi-
dents and efforts made to ascertain the
truth.

GUARD CHILD FROM FATHER
Family of Olga Williams Fears
She MAY Be Stolen.
rBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune. J

Stamford, Conn, Jan. 9.-Ever since
the death Of James Everard, her
father, detectives have been watching
Mrs. Olga Williams's two-year-old
daughter, Ol~a. The child lives here
with her grandmother, Mrs. James
Everard.
Williams, who, it is understood here,
was once James Everard's chauffeur,
was here for time last summer after
the death of his father-in-law. When
he left here for Atlantic City last July
detectives followed him.
Since then one of Everards employees
has been watching the girl. When she
goes out for walk with her nurse or
for motor ride he is at her side to
defend her from attempted kidnap-
ping.
Mrs. Williams's suit for divorce was
tried on Wednesday in the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn. Decision was re-
served.
