Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be healthy.
The digestive organs OF children get
out of order as readily as do those
OF their elders. and the result is
equally distressing. When the bowels
arc clogged with an accumulation
OF refuse from the stomach the child
naturally becomes cross and fretful
from the discomfort. and is often
punished for temper when medical
attention ,s really what is needed.
The next time your child is cross

It is possible that to-day's meeting

discussion upon possible ways and
means for educating the alien element
of the city respecting the burial of

the charity department that some un-

taken advantage Of ignorance and
charged enormous sums for the bur-

LOVE-LORN SWANS
IN CITY COURT FOR
DISTURBING PEACE
Sweetheart, Slapped In Face,
Has Joseph Foglio Arrest
ed for Assault

Loyalty and devotion to THE Girl
of My Dreams got an awful waIlop
In the city court this morning when
Bruno Ragis. aged FL. of Sc Allen
street, and Joseph Fog1fo, same age,
of ST Reilly street were found guilty
OF breach of the peace and assault
Ragis, who was arrested by Police
man Martin Kane in front of the Park
theatre last night when his actions
had attracted large crowd and
created a suspicion that he was an
escaped 1unatic, told the court this
morning that his reasons for running
into the theatre, peering into the faces
of men and women alighting from
cab occupied by a young man and wo-
man, were purely love- bred. While
walking with his best girl he lost her
and later caught sight of her with an
other man. They escaped him and he
wanted to find her. The quest cost
him SIS plus court charges.
Fog1io, arrested upon the complaint
of Marie Antonicci. 1923 Pembroke
street, was keeping company with the
girl, who works in the u. NJ G. Co.
Last night when she emerged from
the big yards she was accompanied
by another man. Fsog1io did not wait
when he had fully aired his views on
men who take others girls away from

panied by a kick or punch-he i'm

SEVEN PASTORS TO
VISIT Phil PHIA
TO WATCH SUNDAY
Methods of the Baseballing
Evangelist Will BE Learn
ed at First Hand

Members of the committee from the
Pastors association appointed to con
slider the advisability of having Billy
Sunday, the evangelist, conduct a ser
les of revival services will go to Phila-
delphia Thursday to get a. ,f1rst-hand
idea of Sundays work and the sue
cess of his efforts in converting peo-
pie to religion. Those who will go
to the Quaker City next week are
Rev. George M. Brown, pastor of the
First Methodist church and chairman
of the committee: Rev George O.
Tamb1yn, pastor of O1ivet Congrega-
tional church, secretary; Rev. Edgar
r.. Cooper. pastor of the First English
Evangelical Lutheran church,; Rev.
DIR. H. A. Davenport, pastor of the
Peoples Presbyterian church; Rev.
John r. Brown, pastor of the First
Baptist church and Rev. E. A. Burnes,
pastor of the Washington Park M. E.
church.
Whether they will take a noon ex-
press or an. earlier train has not yet
been decided. Rev. DR.. Gerald H.
Beard, pastor of the Park street Con-
gregationa1 church and w. Seymour
Lacey, general secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association will not
go to Philadelphia until Friday: The
party will remain in Philadelphia for
Mr.. Sundays service Friday night and
will return to this city early Saturday
morning.
In the party who are going to inves-
tigate Mr.. Sundays methods are cler-
gyrnen who favor him, those who are
opposed to him and several who have
formed no opinion on the subject.
The committee has not yet consid-
ere any date for bringing Mr.. Sun
ds here, if he is to come. 1t is un-
d. rstood that he has engagements for
many months ahead and his engage
ments must be considered in the ar
rangements.
There is a difference of opinion
among the committee as to where the
services should be held. Some want
services in the larger churches, using
a different church each day. 9th
ers favor hiring the State arnaory and
others the Casino in State street.
Whether or not Mr.. Sunday is to
come here will be settled in Phila-
delphia before the committee returns.

for Trial for Outrage at st.
Patrick's Cathedral

New York, March 8-Frank Abarno,
the young anarchist arrested in ST
Patrick's cathedral last Tuesday

out a fuse of lighted bomb which i'm
perilled the lives of 500 .worshippers.
pleaded not guilty today to the charge
of attempting to explode the bomb, a
felony upon conviction of which he
could be sent to prison for rs years.
Carmine Carbone, the 1S year old
boy arrested as the maker of the mis-
siie, entered a similar plea. Both were
held in $25, 900 bail for trial.
Justice Swami allowed the meh un-
til next ThursdayN to withdraw or
sire. A motion made in their behalf
to have the bail reduced was denied.
The court took under advisement a
motion to have their counsel inspect
the minutes of the grand jury which
indicted them.
Prior to pleading the prisoners were
told to select from the cluster of law
yers employed to defend them four
men to act as their attorneys. They
selected Francis J. Greco, who was en-
tered as attorney of record; John Pal
nieri, Simon o. Pollock and Isidor E.
Schlisinger
The plot which the police claim
existed among anarchists to take the
lives of Andrew Carnegie, the Rookie
fellers. Cornelius Vanderbilt and other
rich men, to blow up banks and in
augurate a reign of terror in New
York city, did not come before the
court today.

Greece Facing Grave
Crisis on War Policy

Rome, Mar Especial dispatches
to Italian newspapers from Athens
describe the situation in Greece as
grave Some of the correspondents
express the belief that the present
deadlock between King Constantine
and many of his advisers regarding
the country's intervention in the war
is the result of antagonism which
had arisen between the ru1er and
Fieuthreios VenizeIos. premier in the
cabinet which resigned Saturday after
its declaration in favor Of Joining the
allies, was frowned upon by the King
other correspondents are Of the
opinion that intervention of Greece
on the side of the allies already has
been agreed upon.
Influence of Germany is supposed
to have been responsible in a consid-
erable measure for Greece obtaining
possession of Kavala and Sa1onil5i on
the Aegean Sea at the end of the Bal
kan war.
