LUXEMBOURG TO VOTE RULE
PIebIscIto VIII Be Held on Form OF
Government

Luxembourg, Sept. 6,-(Correspond-
cpce of the Associated Press. "A pleb-
iscite is to be held in the grand durhy
of Luxembourg, after the ratification
of the treaty of peace, to determine
whether the form of government shall
be changed, and also to determine
whether the duchy shall join France
or Belgium economically. At present
the grand duchy is governed by a coun-
ell of fifteen members and chamber
of deputies of fifty two.
There are two political parties, the
Liberals and Conservatives, who are di-
vided along the usual lines of how far
the church influence should extend to
political affairs. and also a line Of
cleavage is now growing up as to
whether the grand duchy shall lean to-
ward France or Belgium. The grand
duchy is really ruled by the president
Of the council. who is named by the
grand duchess on advice of the majority
of the Chamber of Deputies, following
the usual parliamentary system.

for Veteran Bluecoats
UNIONS VOTING ON STRIKE

Boston, Sept. 1.-THE striking po-
iicemen will not be reinstated under
any conditions Edwin U. Curtis, po'
iicc commissioner, reiterated this today
when his attention was directed to the
construction placed in some quarters
on an amendment to the department
rules announced last night.
II had been pointed out that the
change, which permits suspension for
violation of regulations, might be con
strued as leaving a hoophole BY which
some of the older men of the depart
rent who before the Strike had served
the city long and faithfully might rc-
gain their positions.
Commissioner Curtis declared, haw-
ever, the change had been made to meet
new conditions and had no bearing on
the present situation.
The cases of 1%5 policemen on va"a-
ticns or sick leave when the strlE"
began are now under consideration.
Each man will probably have an indi-
vidual hearing.
Although nine -tenths Of tn" unions
affiliated with the Boston Central Labor
Union have already voted to support
the police strikers 'to the limit,
union leaders asserted today that this
did not indicate any Immediate genera
strike.
1t was generally felt that there would
be no definite change in the situation
until after the meeting Of the Central
Labor Union next Sunday at which re-
ports of the strike votes taken during
the week will be received from the local
unions.

The last meeting in April, 1919,
found Gradatim Club at the close OF
its oath year OF work and though there
has not been, perhaps, so much effort
exerted to accomplish some indicated
amount of work, yet the results have
been altogether satisfactory.
The club has a membership of rs.
The majority of these members took
an active part in carrying on the club
work. -
Twelve meetings were held On ae-
count of the quarantine for. Influenza
two of the regular meetings were can
,celled. - - i~ -,
At the beginning of the work in
October, 1918 the-club decided not TO
follow out aaconrse Of study that
would in any way interfere with the
war work that all the members were
occupied with, so that the first meet
ings were devoted to taking up few
of the unfinished points of the prev
ious years work. After the Armistice
was signed and the demands of Red
Gross and other organizations were
less urgent Gradatim Club again re-
turned to regular work.
The president hit upon the plan of
giving over the program for each
month to a member of the club. In
this way the members weres certain
that The program at every meeting
would be interesting and instructive.
There was also the. added interest
which came from wondering which one
of the vital questions of the hour
would be presented at the next meet

public has been educated to the fact
that the examination of children is
necessary. People in. different COM
munities are asking the Minnesota
Public Health Association and the
State Board Of Health send out Doc
tors and nurses to make physical ex-
aminations of children which they do
for the asking. The Stearns county
Public Health Association has voted
to employ the services of a County
Public Health nurse next fall. Her
work will be the examination of child
rem under school age, and of school
children. She will give her assistance
in stamping out epidemics. ~
In Renville county, not far from
here, the records made after the
county nurse has examined the
children of the county, show as follows
Out of the 5000 school children ex-
amined, 4,095 were defective.
Often stupidity in school may, be
traced to some physical defect such
as poor eye sight or hearing. When
these defects are corrected tire child
becomes as intelligent as his fellows.
Most of the nose and throat trouble
is found due to adenoids and tonsils.
The adenoids cause mouth breathing,
deformed jaws and loss of hear
ing. The tonsils when they become
swollen and filled with pus cause
tonsilitis and sometimes malnutrition,
for the body is so busy getting rid Of
the pus, that it can not properly take
care Of the food. ~ H. -.
In Renville county where they stud
led the causes of malnutrition, they
found that four-fifths of the country
children did not drink milk, while in
town where milk was more scarce,
only one-fifth of the children did not
drink it. ~ ~' ''--.'+'. , ,+

Whereas if left till the child is full
grown they may be impossible to
