Resulting From Drink on the Part
of Parents-Normal Children Born

Youngstown. O.--That the use of
alcohol on the part of parents is re-
sponsible for defective children is
proven by the history of a family in
this city. Mr. J. NJ. Hanson. secre-
tary of the Charity Organization So
clety OF Youngstown, gives this re.
markable instance of tne result of
his investigation of a family living in
this city
In April. 1908, an Italian residing
at 263S Shannon street came to rs
asking that we place his three defec-
tive children in an institution. I via-
tied his home and found three nope
less idiots, aged 6, and ~ year,,
respectively. There was no sign CT
any degree of intelligence In either OF
them. They all took nourishment in
the form of milk from bottles. Not
having intelligence enough to use
their limbs, they had not developed,
and so all were helpless.
u found IN the course of my in
quiry taat there were four older chill
dren, who were normal viz. girIs.

the man lost his property and ended
in debt TO the brewery, and was
Obliged to ask charitable aid during
the depression of 1908. He later went
to work as a day laborer and becane e
self-supporting. After their saloon
was closed they both quit drinking to
