RELIEF WORK AS
 IT IS DONE HERE
 },
Day Nursery and Tuberculosis
 Nurses Do Much Good

A "churcIs night" service was held at the First Congregational church last night and the New Britain Day Nursery and the tuberculosis relief work were the two topics of discus sion during the evening. Mrs. Frank T. O'Brien spoke on the day nursery and Miss Sara T. Carroll spoke on the tuberculosis relief work. Mrs. O'Brien said that since tho opening of the day nursery, September 1. 1918, 2.G00 children have been taken care of there.
 Though the nursery, S5 women were released in war time for work in the intuition factories. The attendance at the nursery by months was as fol- lows: September, 564; October, 245: November, 5G4; December "A; and January, 493. Twelve different na- tionalities have been represented among the children attending the pursery. The fees charged the chiI- dren were as follows: One child. 25 cents; two children, 40 cents, for three, 50 cents, and for four, 60 cents. The children attending have varied in ages from five months to fiEe years. Mrs. O'Brjen spoke of helping the children at the nursery and told of one little fellow who did not want to go homo with his parent after get, ting a bath at the nursery and stay ing with the other tots. He gave as his reason for wishing to stay that he was having too good a time to leave.
 Miss Carroll spoke of tuberculosis relief work. The work was described as most depressing. She said the con ditions of the various patients had been very discouraging to the nurses. The relief work began 10 years ago in this city and was started through voluntary subscription. Four years ago it was taken over by the health department of the city. The visit of the nurses 10 the sanitarium avera ged 250 times a month and there are at least two nurse employed in the work. There are at present 200 cases of tuberculosis in this city according to her report.

10000 ELKS MEET
AT ATLANTIC CITY

ATLANTIC CITY, July s.-Ten
thousand Elks are gathered here to-
day to attend the first meeting of the
annual grand lodge reunion on the
Steel Pier. The convention was well
coined yesterday on behalf of New
Jersey by Senator Edge, who made
an appeal for a non-partisan consid-
GRAFTON OF the peace treaty and league
Of nations. In part he said:
Il have never taken the extreme
view that we should toss Europe out
Of our thoughts, and make war and
treaties for America only. It might
have been possible to lock ourselves
mp in our own closet a hundred years
ago and draw our curtain OF inter
national activities, but II is not pos
sible or practical today. The world
progresses and we must progress
with it Recent events; like the
transatlantic flights of aeroplanes
and the successful landing in this
country of a great dirigible carrying
twenty-three persons across the ocean
in a few days. speak eloquently of
the fact that Americas international
responsibilities are different from
what they were yesterday"
OF the league of nations he said he
believed the American people ARE ap-
stakeholder in an international cor
poration, yet they see the necessity
of the corporation as a protector of
peace and have no objection to Amer
lea occupying in that corporation a
position consistent with home made
Americanism and her duty toward
the world"
Bolshevism was attacked by Grand
Exalted Ruler Bruce NJ. Campbell, of
St Louis, who in part said: We
have no place for the hyphenate or
the red flag. no room for the Anar-
chist, the l. w. W. or the Bolshevist,
and we pledge our order to drive them
from our midst and leave in America
only Americans" Mr.. Campbell said
$4,000 Elks-over IL per cent of the
membership-were in the army or
navy during the war. and were COM
handed by Brother John J. Pershing,
of Ell Paso Lodge.
According to Campbell the order
gained many new members last year
in spite of many obstacles to its mem
bership campaign For the lodge
year ending March 81 he said there
was a net gain of $4,000 members.
Senator Edge said in taking a poll
of the Senate he found that forty
nine Of the ninety-six were Elks.

BELASCO,

Mere man was "1et in" on a few
secrets last night at the presentation
Of "The Beginning and Mysteries Of
Life" at the Shubert-BeIasco Theater.
The film production, which is in
five parts, is a condensed production
which teaches the same lesson as the
film plays Fit to Fight" open Your
Eyes" and damaged Goods"
The fourth reel, THE Duties of
Motherhood" showed the manner Of
forcing breath into the body Of a
child just born. but not yet begun to
breathe. The demonstration was in
effect a "treat-'em-rough" method to
save the life of the newborn child.
The actual birth OF the child is
shown, but carefully so. The care Of
the child Immediately after birth and
for several weeks afterward is also
one Of the interesting features Of the
presentation. The modern method of
child-incubation is portrayed, the
largest baby incubator in the coun-
try being shown in operation.
One of the reels shows the method
OF handling milk. from the dairy to
the baby's stomach. Expert nurses
show the audience how to and how
not to handle and dress a small baby.
The presentation begins with the
embryonic form of life, using the
chicken, the rat, and other animals.

best, and that is the Keith situation
this week. Irving Fisher, lately with

the capacity audience last night with
his songs. But so did George Aus

There Theater League" And Marie
and Ann Clarke scored a distinct hit
with their comedy act But you
cannot forget. the Misses Campbell,
especially the little one with her
roguish eye. And you just must men
ton Lucille Cavanagh, whose preten-
tious jazz act is we'll worth the
money. Speaking OF dancing, how
about John Regay and the Lorraine
sisters-there's class enough for any
body. So let's admit, right off the
reel, that Keith's this week is up
to its best
Irving Fisher might have continued
in the spotlight for hours. so well
was he received. The catchy stories
of George Austin Moore would have
been enough, but he added a couple
Of well-rendered coon songs. Miss
Cavanagh is assisted by Wheeler
Wadsworth, Mel Craig. and William
B. Taylor, offering a complete act
OF songs ana dances.
