OF the New York Juvenile associa.
ton asserts that 81 per cent of the
delinquent boys that come TO the
association TO be looked after have
bad teeth, from which they suffer.
and that instead OF worrying only
about their morals, the association
worries about their teeth. with the
result that after two years OF com.

boys are turned out reformed.
The Oriental idea that the seat OF
morals is located in the liver is va
ried somewhat by the authorities
of the New York institution. They
locate Il in the stomach.
Their inquiry is not whether a
boy is good at heart. but is he good
in the stomach?
They have found that the
bad boy usually Is an snaemle
boy, the anaemia being due to
poor digestion, through Insult

THE STRANGER IN OUR MIDST

the particulars have been learned Of
1t is bad omen that the German
papers published in this county
continue to view the whole contro-
versy from the standpoint of Ber-
lin. They are anxious about Ger
many's interests in conducting the
war; they are not anxious about the
rights Of the United States. Their
editorials find satisfaction and con-
viction in whatever emanates from
the Wilhelmsstrassee magnates,
while they intimate very broadly
that our government is prejjudiced,
hypocritical. unneutral, subservient
to England, Indifferent to fact, and
SO on, ad nauseam. Our freedom
OF the press enables them to malign
the Administration at Washington.
but does not enable them even to
criticise fairly the rulers at Berlin

break In Germany many of these So
called American Germans will be

nothing. Suwannee stands with the
majority. There are and will be a

Suwannee and other counties have
no compulsory school law in effect
