RACE CULTIVATION
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
By Samuel e. Dixon, M. D., IL.
D., Commissioner of Health

To maintain the highest degree of
physical health, it must be aecompan-
led by healthy brain. One that can
work out its own problems in early
intercourse with the rest of mankind,
and cooperate for the preservation Of
its own species. This is law of ma
ture.
The Teutonic writers would have US
believe that war is necessary to keep
up the prosperity of healthy nation,
claiming that the whole scheme of ma.
ture is to live on itself. This, however
is mistake. Cannibalism is rare and
unnatural.
The self-preservation of species
means the united effort of individuals
to that end. When one begins to live
on ones self, death follows.
To modify common but true say
ing, dog cannot eat dog. War kills, off
the healthy and breeds death
In these days of advanced health
measures, children should be taught
to take plenty of outdoor physical
exercise, but it should not be brutal
in character. Their sports should tend
to cultivate control, temperate
thoughts and kindness.
As war brings pestilence the high
er education should not teach the
Teutonic Interpretation of the laws of
nature, but that it will lead to the
self-destruction of the species.
Wars must cease as man overcomes
the brute side Of his nature, although
he may be trained in the science of
war without becoming brutal. In this
twentieth century all questions be-
tween nations will have to be settled
by international courts. The present
war is counteracting the results of
great health laws that have been en-
forced by spreading communicable dis
ease and killing off the able bodied
members of the belligerent nations.
To attain the highest degree of
health, militarism must be crushed.

AT THE REGENT

"The Ghost Breaker" is truly re-
markable as drama in that it brings
all the dash and spirit of adventure
ordinarily associated with the Romantic
school of plays into the surroundings
of modern life. 1t supplies the love for
excitement which is natural attribute
of all amusement seekers, and at times
it is so localized that it contrives to
Ibe convincing in spite of the most ex.
traordinary incidents and the most un'
looked for complications. The action
of the play travels from Old World OF
the Princesses and Dukes, to the mod.
ern New World of an American blood
feud, and then travels back again to
pain and the haunted castle and the
lost treasure, detectives, retainers of
the ancient and noble Aragon family,
pretended ghosts and real cut throats
all mingle and Tlay their parts in this
most enthralling tale.

WOMAN SDEATH A MYSTERY
Believed That Margaret Mullan Who
Was Found Dead In Vacant Lot
Was Murdered

Cumberland, Nd, March 29.-Deep
mystery surrounds the death of Miss
Margaret Mullan, aged 81 years,
daughter Of William T. Mullan, North
Cumberland, and the finding of her
body in a narrow corner where three
lots join on Knobley street within a
few hundred feet of her home, on st.
Girard street, with her neck broken
and her face, hands and nose badly
scratched. Miss Mullan was highly
respected young woman. She had been
deaf since she was about years old.
She was last seen by her relatives
when she left home Saturday evening
about O'Clock.
Her body was found Sunday after
moon about O'Clock by George
Quantz, who resides near by and who
saw one of her shoes through a hole
in the board fence. This attracted his
attention and caused hims to look over
into the yard. The body was lying in
a depression in the fence corner. Her
clothing and shoes were covered with
mud in a way to indicate that a strug-
gle had taken place before she was
overcome.
