Why is a man and woman, half the

If we all would practice insidebath

take place. Instead of thousands Of
half sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere, The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accunulates under our pres

Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous day.

the same sort of exit, but his foot
caught in the window, and he hung

cuss the matter, and no explanation
was forthcoming from any other
source that fixed the action as more
than a question of administrative rou-
tine.
Not to Intern Germans.
Mr. Baker took occasion during the
day to confirm the impression that
the government is planning to deal
lenicntly with German and other for
cign subjects residing in this country
in the event of war. He was asked
specifically if the war department is
negotiating with the interior depart
ment for sites for internment camps.
There is no such plan in con-
temptation" he replied. "All resident
aliens who are obedient to our laws
will be perfectly safe from interior
ence."
Asked if that applied to German
army reservists, the secretary said
cit applies to everybody here or who
may be permitted tc come here. and
who behave themselves in accordance
with our laws while here
In other quarters it was suggested
that German residents might be regis
tered in the event of war, in order
that the government could have some
knowledge of their movements and
make certain that persons guilty OF
misconduct shall be brought to JUS
tice.

WOULD SAFEGUARD
CHILDREN IN The
EVENT OF WAR

Baltimore, Md, March 26.-Danger
that American children will be made
to suffer the rigors of industrial life
if the United States should become
involved in war waS pointed out in an
address by Owen X. Loveioy, of New
York, here yesterday Under the aus
pices.. of the National Conference on
Child Labor. Speaking on Safe
guarding Childhood in Peace or War;"
Mr.. Lovejoy said, in part:
"Our natural admiration for Amer
lea and typical sense OF national supe-
riority tempt us to tolive that no
rigors of international conflict cou,l
lead us to neglect our children. and
that we shall not deal with our child
rem as European nations have dealt
with theirs, if the same crisis comes.
What has happened in Europe? In
one area 1900 children out of Al, 900
have been displaced from school be-
cause the buildings have been taken
over for military purposes. Some
100000 children between II and Il
left school to enter industry in 1915
and probably more than that in 1916
Between 10000 and 100000 children
II and IL years old are at work.
There is an abnormal demand for boy
labor; abnormally high wages are
paid to children. The committee on
health and munition workers states
that boy workers are drawing on
their strength and is anxious to know
what will become Of the boys after
the war; And when we read that NIL
milton factories have increased tn J..
hours of labor for children to 67 a
week, that night and Sunday labor
are not unknown, and that the COM
mit.ee recommends that boys under
16 and girls under 1S be not employed
more than IL hours day, We can
imagine the effect of such conditions
on the health of the children. These
conditions prevail not in England
alone but in all the warning countries.
