The pit Of the Chatham Theatre had
a bar. which was kept by Big Barney

made a speciality OF pigs feet and

Until recently the interest OF the
comm,tIty in the child has centred
upon u mind. Now for the hrs'
time Vs body is beginning to be Sc
riously considered. Physical examin-
alton Of school children Is required,
and when they are found defective II
is customary to refer the case to the
hospitals or to the family physician.
'Defects OF one kind or another were
| found In nearly seven out or every
ten Boston children examined OF
such defects 81 per cent. were OF the
mouth, troubles OF teeth. adenoids,
swollen tonsils, defective palates, &c.

There are two ways in which chill

child; the other. by bringing the
child to the dentist. The value Of a
, child's time is represented by the
cost Of its education to the city. which
Is estimated at three cents an hour. A

dollars TO Ave dollars an hour.

believing that the patronage II would
draw from leading people would more
than tax the accommodations he had

he resolved to fly in the face OF all
precedent and tradition and change
the location OF the pit, or. rather.
remove its habitual occupants to an
other part Of the house, and to make
OF the pit a place for seating patrons
OF the best class. Accordingly he
ripped out that ancient quarter OF
the hoodlums and fitted II up IN fine
style for that day. called the inno-
