CARE Of POOR
IN INFIRMARIES

Sanitary buildings Of fireproof con-
structioa are badly needed by county
infirmaries to allow the practice Of
cleanliness.
Discussion at the round table Of the
county institutions ct the State Con-
ference Of Charities and Correction
this morning pointed to new era In
care of the poor. No longer IRE they
to be considered as outcasts to be
treated without consideration for their
physical comfort or their mental vel
fare. They are not to be crowded into
foul. illy-kept buildings over-ridden
with vermin and made to subsist 10
long as they can on poorly.prepared
and indigestable food.
Speakers at the session over which
A. r. Chairman of Terre Haute. princi-
pal Of the Normal school presided told
of their efforts to obtain better ventt-
lation, wholesome food. kind treat
ment, sanitary surroundings and reg
ularity of habits for the unfortunate
persons thrown as dependents on tho
county.

had made and recommended especial.
ly fire proof construction. X
Mrs. Louis Pfeiffer Of South Bend
told Of methods used there. She asked
that the inmates be provided with
facilities for bathing regularly and
keeping their bodies in good condition.
She laid emphasis strongly on the new
movement for sanitary conditions In
county institutions. -, e-=
Mrs. Henry Judy of Winchester de-
scribed the system of getting the in
mates to work. She told how the
food was prepared for the winter
months and how inmates were taught
to be orderly. In their habits and to
care for their quarters.
How the State Farm is helping to
reclaim men whose bodies are satur-
ated with alcohol and whose minds are
corrupted with vice was described by
DR.. Jerome King Of Greencastle. Dur
ing the first few months of the farms
operations the inmates lived In tenn.
porary quarters but with wholesome
food and plenty of fresh air and exer-
else. They are losing their bloated
and hunted expression and are gaining
in strength. They are instilled with
confidence in themselves and their
ability to mend their ways because
the officials of the farm have apparent
confidence In them. Discussion was
led by Few. B. M. Nyce of Muncie. -
Press Lends Help.
Even the newspaper has a part in
the campaign for better quarters in
the county farms. Howard Roosa, edi-
tor Of the Evansville Courier, advised
the superintendent of infirmaries not
to burden the editors with dry reports
Of figures that no one would read.
He said: If you have dangerous
conditions at the jnfirmary which may
cause the death OF 200 inmates from
tuberculosis tell us about 1t and we
will print the news. We will take up
your case and fight your battle on the
first page of our paper. We will
arouse pull lie opinion and thus bring
pressure to bear on officials so RENE
dial measures will be inaugurated."

Wants Dental Clinic.
Superintendent Giles discussing the
same topic, Medical Inspection in the
Schools" pleaded guilty to the charge
OF teaching to the masses, but said su-
perintendents were trying to overcome
this flaw In the educational system
Prof. Giles said he hoped in view of q
survey which had been made here to
have a dental clinic in the Richmond
schools before long. Fifty per cent of
the students below the high school age
in this city are suffering from defec-
tive teeth.
Since Superintendent Giles came to
Richmond he made the following tabu-
lation Of medical inspection results
during the last school year. OF the to-
tai budget of approximately $50 which
the school system expends on each
student during the year, only 20 cents
lis for medical inspection. The two
physicians made 1.126 school visits.
They conducted 1911 special examina-
tipns and 1881 regular examinations.
Every child, was examined at least
once during the year Treatment was
recommended in the cases Of 1851.
Result o. Survey.
School teachers made a survey with
the following results, which show the
number of detectives in certain re.
spects, and the number Of defective
who received treatment: Eyes, 4 per
cent defective, IS per cent treated;
ear, 2 per cent defective; throat, 3 per
cent defective. per cent treated;
teeth, so per sent defective. % per cent

Miss Carrie Paddock of Indianapolis,
superintendent of school nurses in that
city, explained the system in operation
there. and showed how essential it il
for the nurse to follow up the physi.
clan and carry his work and recon-
mendations in to the homes. It is
hard to teach parents new things, but II
the student under the influence of the
nurse keeps insisting on better valua-
ton and better selected food, results
will be obtained.
Eugene NJ. Crouch. superintendent
of the Edinburg schools, outlined his
plan Of segregating backward students.
He said they were placed under spe-
cial instructors and an attempt made
to develop them along the lines In
which they showed the most prom

many defects were due to preventable
sickness and that school systems were

money expended for educational pur-
poses on students who were absent,

Hydraulic Mining Cartridge Is Said TO

1t is often hard, and sometimes dai-
gerous. to use ordinary explosives for
mining and excavating, In confined
spaces, a fact that has led to the de-
velopment of the hydraulic mining
cartridge as safe and effective sub
stitute. The cartridge consists of a
steel cylinder containing numerous
small pistons that expand when water
is injected into them with hand

hole, the workmen insert the cylinder,
and then set to work at the hand
