NOT FAULT OF CHILDREN
Many Reasons Advanced for Cases OF
Truancy Reported In the Schools
Of the Country.

The average public-school truant 1s
a physical defective and has an abb
normal blood pressure, equal to that
Of man of twenty-five. This is the
conclusion reached after scientific
study Of eighty typical truants in New
York city.
Only seven Of the group were found
free from physical drawbacks, which
the investigators enumerate as fol-
lows: Bad teeth, 70; poor vision, II;
defective nutrition, 21; trouble with
their feet, 20; tobacco users, go; alco-
hol drinkers, 19. Those who did not
breath right made up 10 per cent Of
the so truants; enlarged tonsils, ~
per cent; difficult hearing, Z per cent;
heart ailment, per cent.
AS to high blood pressure among the
truants, this was verified by examina-
ton Of inmates at the parental school.
There the boys, on admission, almost
uniformly show an abnormal pressure
which usually is reduced to the nor
NAL after two or three months stay
in the institution.
According to the school authorities,
49 per cent Of the pupils have some
thing the matter with their teeth.
Truancy is due not only to physical
defects, the investigators found, but
is chargeable to poor digestion, crowd
ed classes, improperly trained teach
ers, lack Of special studies and
classes and wrong home influences.

HOT WATER BED is RESTFUL
Four Hours Sleep In Bathtub Said to
Be Equal to Eight Of Usual
Kind

Sleeping in a bath tub full Of water
kept at blood temperature is claimed
by some physicians to give the re-
Quired amount Of rest in half the time
that sleeping in bed requires, Pop
ular Science Monthly says. In other
words, four hours sleep in bathtub
filed with water at the proper tem-
perature-and always maintained at
that temperature-will result in the
exact amount Of restfulness that eight
hours in bed will give.
The explanation is that warm water
completely relaxes the nerves, which
ordinary sleep does not necessarily do.
The most difficult part Of this treat
ment is in maintaining the water at a
constant temperature, and for the
purpose Of accomplishing the result a
middle western manufacturer has re-
Gently brought oat on the market q
thermostatic watercontrol apparatus,
which, as it's name implies, maintains
the water at any desired temperature.
In practice, the patient climbs into
a bath tub filled with water, his head
protruding through hole in rubber
blanket, which is strapped around the
edges Of the tub. Water constantly
flows in at one end Of the tub and
out at the other.
For the harried business man, who
complains that his working day Is too
short, such a sleeping couch as this
should have a distinct appeal. He
should be willing to rest four hours at
least.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.

Just why is it that some peo
pie always oppose the industrial
development of. this town and
community.
Why i. it they use their in
huence to throttle every scheme
that promises for the upbuilding
and commercial! advancement of
the community.
What have they to gain per-
sonalIy through such L course.
True, they would pay Il few
cents additional in taxes, while
their property would increase as
many dollars in valuation.
One live citizen who has given
the subject considerable thought
suggests that people who op-
pose local commercial advance
ment have a selfish motive at
heart. He thinks they fear a
loss Of personal prestige through
the bringing into our midst of
new blood and new industrial en-
terprIseS. He believes the re-
acSiCulsts can See a possible
waning of their power through
the introduction OF new and up
to date methods. and that rather
than retire to the rear they seek
to muzzlc the growth Of the com
munIty.
This may or may not be true.
bat the fact remains that some
hidden influence is constantly
seeking to retard the commercial
and industrial expansion Of this
community. and it is the duty of
every wide awake citizen to seek
a solution to the mystery and
put an cad TO it.
This town should advance
with the rest of the country,
State and nation, and to DO so
we must have the loyal CO oper,
alton Of all citizens.

PIES FOR THE ROYAL TABLE
English Cities Furnish pelieacies to
Embellish the Banquetlns Boards
Of Their Rulers.

Each year the city Of Gloucester,
England, presents the king with pie.
For many centuries, until the year
1884, Gloucester followed the custom
Of expressing it's loyalty to the SOW
ereign by sending him lamprey pie.
In that year the custom was, for some
reason, suspended, but in 1893 it was
revived, and has since been contln-
ued.
In 1897, the year of Queen Victoria's
Jubilee, it was felt that some special
effort should be made to produce a pie
that would be pie indeed. The
queens pie was dispatched to her pal
ace at Balmoral upon gold dish, and
was Of more than usually elaborate
character. It weighed 20 pounds and
was adorned with trufaes, fine prawns
on gold skewers, and aspic jelly. On
the top was a representation OF the
royal crown and cushion, with a scep-
ter to which were attached streamers
Of royal blue, and at the base were
four golden hons.
Ancient custom requires that the
town Of Yarmouth annually furnish to
the sheriff of Norwich hundred ner-
rings baked in "a pies. The sherin
conveys them to the lord Of the manor
of East Clareton, who, in turn, sends
them to the king.

EarIy BREAKING Down.

Apparently the most significant
result Of the various changes in our
living habits is found in our declining
power to resist the strain OF life on
the heart, arteries, kidneys and the
nervous and digestive systems, re-
marks Science. Compared with past
decades, the increase in mortality
from the early breaking down OF
these organs is very marked. The
records of the last census show that
the increase continues in the younger
as we'll as the older age groups. This
points to the shortening Of the valu-
able productive period Of life. These
indications are we'll attested. They
cannot be disposed Of by the easy
process Of denying the statistics with
out investigation. Nor can the extra
ordinary increase in cancer be e1-
planned in this convenient way. The
early breaking down Of these impor-
tant organs points to q decline in the
vitality Of our people in the mature
and most useful period Of their lives,
and presents a phase Of the problem
meriting the most careful study and
consideration.

TWO HABITS THAT ARE BAD
May at First Appear insignificant, But
Really Are Dangerous to
the Health.

The practice Of licking stamps and
gummed envelope flaps, as well as that
Of sucking the end Of the lead pencil.
is very unsanitary indeed. AS every
one should know, the glue used on
stamps and envelope flaps is made OF
refuse products, consisting of the bones
and hoofs of animals which may or
may not have been diseased. The
stamps and envelopes themselves are
made Of all sorts Of rags, which, in the
course of their transformation into pa
per, are handled by all sorts and condt.
tions Of people. We never know
whether it is a clean or dirty pair OF
hands that has handled stamp or en-
velope just before we purchase 1t.
There have even been cases Of poi.
soning from the stsmp-licking practice.
Fortunately, they are rare, but it suf-
fees to say that the ordinary steriliz-
ing process in their making does not
necessarily kill a form Of germs that
are poisonous. The safest plan is to
moisten the gummed surfaces on q
small wet sponge and take no risks.
Children should be carefully warned
about the indiscriminate sucking and
chewing of pencils. This seems to be
a habit Of childhood that is hard to
overcome. The lead in pencil is pol
sonous, and so is the point, and the
wood furnishes a convenient lodging
place for all sorts Of germs.

New York's Great Sridges.

The first of the great bridges con-
Meeting Manhattan and Brooklyn was
opened to traffic 33 years ago, May "a,
1883. Brooklyn bridge was long con-
sdered one of the engineering Won
ders of the world, but it is now but
one of five great structures which span
the East river. Work on the great
suspension bridge was commenced
early in 1870, and 13 years passed be-
fore it was ready for business" AL
though traffic over the bridge is sew
eral times greater than it was at first,
engineers say that it is as safe as ever.
The Williamsburg bridge, the second
across the East river. was commenced
in 1896 and completed in 1908. The
Manhattan bridge and the greensboro
bridge were both commenced in 1901
and completed in 1909. The He'll gate
arch bridge, railway structure SPAN
ming the East river and now nearing
completion, is the heaviest bridge IN
the world.

qualities are inherent in the
leaders of community life.

qualities are inherent in the
leaders Of community life.
We know that many people
like to think and assert that we
are ali equal and recognize no
leaders, bu. this is purely a fig
ment OF the imagination. Nine
out of every ten Of Us are too
busy with our own affairs to take
time to attend to the details of
community life. There are a
thousand and one questions OF
public import that must fall to
the lot OF some one who has the
time and the capacity to grapple
with them, and under such con-
ditions community leaders are
developed. If, happily, he pos
sesses wisdom, coupled with a
spirit of unseifsh devotion to
the interests of the community,
then the community is indeed
fortunate. But when he devel-
OPS vicious traits and an inclina-
ton for self-seeking, then, like
the sheep, his followers are in
danger.
While, as We have said, most
of US are too busilv engaged in
our own pursuits to assume
these burdens of civic responsi-
bility, we yet may keep d watch
full eye upon those who have as
sumed the burdens and assist
them in the faithful discharge of
their trusts.
This We can and should do,
every one of US. This is pref
ty good old world, after all, and
safe leaders and public officials
can easily be found, and every
public spirited citizen should
join the hunt.

Onen-Air Court Of Justice.

The capital Of Montenegro consists
Of one long street, in which stands
the Tree of Justice, under which the
king dispenses law and equity in true
patriarchal style. No stranger coulo
pick out his majesty or his family
from the rest of the crowd. In daily
life the Montenegrins are eminently
republican. A group Of three or four
may be seen smoking pipes round a
table, or enjoying an evening stroll,
all dressed alike, with an arsenal OF
knives and pistols in their belts, and
the universal "strovka," or boats-halr
blanket, over their shoulders. One lsr
perhaps, the minister of war, the sec
ond tailor, the third farmer, the
fourth the president Of the senate and
the fifth the minister Of finance.
