CARE FOR DETECTIVES
And Lessen Burden of Dependency and
Delinquency.

Washington, D. G.. Oct l.-"Protect
the defective children, provide for theil
/ training and proper care, and you will
lessen the burden of dependency and de
linquency This is the gist of the ad
vice contained in new report on mental
detectives issued by the children's bu.
reau of the L. S. department of labor
and appearing with special timeliness
now that war conditions may tend to
take more seriously the problem of de-
linquent and dependent children.
| The report is based on study of the
social conditions of 2l2 mental detectives
in New Castle county, Delaware A to-
tai OF Us, or more than four fifths of
these, were in need of public supervision
or institutional care, because of bad home
conditions, physical helplessness, or pro
nounced antisocial tendencies, and only
II of them were provided for in an in.
stitution adapted to their care. Twenty
six of the defective children were in in
dustrial schools for delinquent children,
and of these the report says:
institutions for the care of delin-
quent children are greatly handicapped
by the presence of detectives, since they
a
influence over the normal children. After
a short period of residence there, defec-
tives are returned to the community
without sufficient supervision
Other defective children with delin-
quency records were at large in the COM
munity: in all, 9S of the 2l2 detectives
studied were delinquent or immoral or
difficult to control.
The report suggests that, while any
program for the care Of mental defec
tiyes must have as its central feature
suitable Institutional provision offering
training or custodial care. according to
the needs Of the individual, other activi
ties are equally essential. Ii is pointed
out, for example, that institutional care
is not necessary for all mentally defec
tive children, for, contrary TO the popu-
lar impression, il is found that there are
types who safely can rer- IN at
home. provided they have the tion
and study which they deserve ow
ever special provision should be maay for
their safety. care and education, and
out patient work of an institution for /
the feeble minded, in cooperation with
schools, social agencies, and families, Is
referred TO as new and important /
method of providing in the most humane
possible way for such children.
The possibilities of industrial training /

nav gradually become in part self sup
porting and the Importance Of providing
facilities for mental examination and d.
sgnosis of doubtful eases are also
brought out in the report.

Most old people must give to the bow

fectly natural. II is just as natural as
it is for old people to walk slowly. For
age is never so active as youth. The
muscles are less elastic And the bow
els are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid
to weak bowels, The bowels must be
kept active. This is important at all
agess but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels
into activity. But lash can't be used
every day. What the bowels of the old
need is gentle and natural tonic One
that can be constantly used without
harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets,
they cost only 10 cents per box at any
