According to learned book by DR..
W. A White. superintendent Of the st.
Elizabeth Hospital for the Insane in
Washington, these glands are very nu-
nerous and of a furtive nature.
There have no apparent outlets or Sc
cretions, but they have a marked effect
upon the growth. physique and mentality
by their hidden secretions, which enter
the blood in some unknown manner.
Among these glands is the pituitary, a
small pea-shaped gland at the base Of
the brain, an abnormality of which
causes exaggerated growth.
I'VE owe the giants Of our circus side
shows to changes in the pituitary gland.
when the thyroid and thymus glands
at the base OF the neck are deficient in
their secretions cretinism results; that
Is. the type Of idiocy connected with
dwarfed stature, short neck, thick lips
and clumsy gait.
Some wonderful cures of cretinism
have been accomplished by giving ex-
tracts of the thyroid gland"
Diseases Of the sexual glands cause
numerous forms Of insanity.
Certain cases of sadism, that little
mentioned form of alteration which is
responsible for so many violent crimes,
have been shown to be accompanied by
a disease Of the joints, and there is an
unexplained connection between them.
Syphilis is a frequent cause of insan-
ity and crime, as is eKemplified by the
paretic who shot Mayor Gaynor.

The protection of the moral integ

virility of its citizens are primary and

DR.. Hallowell.
THE state is socially responsible for
the ills that menace society, and their
final elimination must be undertaken as
public duty.
Feeble mindedness has always been
reco gnized as n social plague, but not

Historic Landmark and Bone
of Many Contentious Done
Away With After Forty
Years Service.
By b. L. MyICKER.

Word comes from Marion that Grant
county's famous hitchrack, which has
adorned the public square Of that city
for more than forty years, has been
torn away.
Excavations are being made for GER
tain improvements where the old rack
once stood, and some sort of ornamental
decorations will supplant the posts that
have stood there through the storms and
sunshine of many decades.
Years ago, other cities of equal or even
lesser influence and power gave up theil

There is something pathetic about the
passing Of old things to the new. even

The writer Of this article, in the
halcyon days of rosy youth knew per-
sonally Marlon's' historic hitchrack, from

AS We perused the dispatches announc-
ing its demolition, our thoughts scurried
back to that long ago, when dad was

afflicted with heaves and oftimes had to
pause and cough voclferously along the

Year after year he and others Of his

Nevertheless there is no doubt that in
its day the hitchrack was a blessed in.

FIGHT ON ROUGE

NEW YORK, July 16.-War on

by the same women who were so i'm
portant a factor In efecting the pas
sage Of the prohibition amendment.
Satisfied with their accomplishment
in that direction, they are now turn
ing their attention to the abuse Of
cosmetics, and If their utterances and
promises on the subject count for
anything an anti-cosmetic amendment
is to be feared.
Fourteen hundred women, consti-
tuting the membership of the Kings

ance Union, will form the nucleus of
the organization to start the on
slaught on the paint and powder ex
cess.
At the last meeting of the season
of the Frances willard Union of the

F. Pashley, state superintendent. an
nounced the new platform Of the or
ganization and was hailed with loud
applause.
"By dint of rersistency. influence

their sweethearts into the county seat to
have their ''picters tuck" together In tin

The boys did not do this often, for 1t
was seldom that pap would allow them
to have the buckwagon for such occa-
sions
But what a glorious time it was for
Bill and Hen when such days did come
and how like conluering heroes they
trotted their "hosses" up to the old
hitchrack with their sweethearts by their
side.
CORNERS FOR
"HOSS" TRADERS.
At least two corners Of the square were
pre-empted by "hoss" traders, who came
from the suburbs and distant hamlets to
ply their trade.
Their trading stock consisted OF
plugs" Of all sizes, shapes and kinds.
Some were sweened, puffed, clubfooted
and with one hip knocked down.
Some of their HOSES were blind, half
starved, dlstempered, with values rang
ing from So to SIS.
The same description would apply TO
their owners, but the hitchrack was their
trading mart.

city and the rural people and resulted
in divers stormy sessions at the court
of county commissioners.
AS matter OF fact the hitchracK
was insanitary. unsightly and inartistic
and as the town grew into city, pros
perfng by the addition of many new IN
dustries and consequently, new. people
some of whom had an inherent incllna-

toned the commissioners on these
grounds to do away with the objection.
Then the ire of the ruraiites would
fare up like a mighty conhagration.
The farmers alleged that the court
house, the hitchrack and everything
pertaining thereto, belonged TO them.
If the venerable hltchrack was taken
away where would they hitch their teams
and feed their mules when they came
to town to trade and pay their taxes
Often the battle waxed warm. but the

Most Crimes Result From

STATE MUST PROTECT
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN.

CHICAGO, Ill, July 16.-There may
soon come a time when criminals Will
be treated and cured as sick persons,
according to Dr. Madeleine A. Hallowell,
formerly medical director and superin-
tendent of the New Jersey State Institu-
ton for Feeble Minded.
Her talk on defective delinquents was
one Of the most interesting features OF
the four days convention recently held
by the national conference on the edu-
cation of the truant, backward. de-
pendent and delinquent children and the
American Association of Public Officials
of Charity and Correction.
This convention was called for the
purpose of organizing a national coun-
ell Of public welfare to have jurisdiction
over the various reform organizations
throughout the country.
Like most reform conventions they
met with the idea of organizing the pa

ed TO be a criminal for the sake Of their
scientific and improving care.
But, according to DR.. Hallowell, you
are not likely to be a criminal if your
ductless glands are all right.
This is hard TO understand, as the
average person is hardly aware that he
has ductless glands living their mys-
teriOus and sinister lives inside OF him,
and even doctors have not arrived at
more than a vague understanding of
them.
Nevertheless criminologists and physi-
clans are working more and more on
the theory that morals have a closer re-
lationship to physiology than most OF
Us realize.

people are affected by anger are SIM
ply due to a quantitative difference In
their chemical reactions to the emotion Of
anger"
When people fell anger or fear or
some other strong emotion the chem
icaI composition Of the blood is always
changed.
Among certain criminals and feeble
minded this chemical reaction, or change
in the degree of alkalinity of the blood
is different from that of normal human
beings.
The alkali in the blood comes from
the secretions of certain ductless glands,
particularly the thyroid gland, the ex-
cessisve growth of which often causes
goitre. and the suprarenal gland above
the kidneys.
1t is believed that these people can be
brought back to normal by being given
extracts of the dried glands to which
they are deficient.
DR.. Hollowell says that so far they
have not been successful in their attempts
to reform the erring by treating their
Maynard ductless glands, but that they
have every expectation of obtaining re-
suits in time.
The experiment is still In its infancy.
For a long time, of course, they have
treated feeble-minded patients by the
same methods with very marked re-
suits.
THREE TYPES OF
FEEBLE-MINDED.
From the pathological standpoint"
saws DR.. HalloweH, feeble mindedness
can be divided into three categories: The
formative or organic type in which the
structure of the brain cells has developed
abnormalIy due to some inherited condi-
ton; the traumstlc type, In which the
structure of the brain cells has been in
jured due to some shock or lesion before
or after birth. and the functional type.
in which the structure OF the brain cells
is complete but they do not react nor
mally to apparent sensations.
THAT is, the nervous system and the
| brain are perfect structurally. but are
prevented from proper functionation by
some extraneOus cause.
THE first two types must be regarded
as hopeless because it is impossible with
our present limited knowledge to supply
, brain tissue or to restore that which has
/ been permanently injured.
The feeble mindedness of the functional
! type, however, is due largely to the chem
/ ical condition of the body.
when this condition is treated by Civ
| ing extracts of the deficient glands the
patient is often very much improved.
"Since it has been learned that many
| criminals have an abnormal chemical con
dition Of the blood caused by the same
| glands whose deficient functioning causes
| certain kinds OF idiocy, It seems only log
ical that they might be improved by be-

HOW TO FIGHT THE LITTLE FOES WHICH
WORK TO MAR YOUR SKIN

powder foundation is essential II you
are to stay powdered. For this you
cannot use cold cream. The oil in It
soon comes out in worse glsten than
ever.
Before powdering, rub tiny bit OF
Ponds Vanishing Cream on your
face. At once it disappears, having
the skin softened. Then notice how
smoothly the powder goes on, how
natural it looks. Until you wash your
face it cannot shine again. Skin spe-
cialists say that such powder base
has protective and beneficial effect
upon the skin.
DUST is a subtle enemy. When
- your skin grows dull, loses its
clearness, it is simply an announce
ment that the pores have become
clogged deep down with tiny parti-
cles of dust. These little particles
work their way so deep into the pores
of the skin that it is impossible to re-
move them by ordinary washing. For
this, only a cream with good oil base
will suffice.
Before you 60 to bed and after train
or motor trip, rub Ponds Cold Cream
into the pores and wipe it off. 1t con-
tains just enough oil to work deep
into the pores and thoroughly cleanse
them. You will be shocked at your.
self when you see how much dirt you
were harboring.
TIME, too, seems to have a grudge
against us. It is busy every min
ute, etching little lines around the
eyes and mouth. You can erase these
by massaging them away at night
with Ponds Cold Cream. Massage
from the centre of the face outward,
with an upward lifting movement. 1t
stimulates dull skin to apply the
cream with a gentle slapping Of the
finger tips. The cream is especially
made just soft enough not to stretch
the pores as it works into them, and
solid enough not to be sticky. It has
exactly the consistency to give per-
feet massage.

YOUR complexion is surrounded

YOUR complexion is surrounded
by enemies .. -
There Is that inward enemy that
shines the face.
There is the tricksy breeze that dries
and dulls the unprotected skin. There
is dust that clogs the pores. There is !.
time.
Each one Of these wicked little foes
is striving morning, noon and night
to ruin your good looks. Be always
on your guard against their wiles.
EXPOSURE to wind. sunlight and
- dust coarsens your skin. The
wind dries the natural moisture out
of it; the sun darkens and yellows it;
the dust works deep into the pores,
coarsens their texture and causes
blackheads.
Skin specialists say that you can pro-
tect your complexion from this injury
by applying a protective cream be-
fore every outing. You can heal chap
ping. You can prevent roughness
and duskiness.
OF course, you can't apply a cold
cream before going out-cold cream
leaves your face too oily.
Lightly touch your face and hands
with Ponds Vopishing Cream. It is
made precisely for daytime and eve
ming use. It has not bit Of oil in it,
so it cannot make your face shine.
Yet it counteracts the drying effect Of
wind and cold. 1t protects the skin
from the evil wrought by dust and
sun. Always before going out, espe-
cially before motoring, rub a little
Ponds Vanishing Cream into the
skin. In this way you can keep your
face appealingly soft and smooth, no
matter how much time you spend out
of doors.

Feebleminded Blind
and Deaf Children

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 2.-The pic
ture of a group of five feebleminded
children, which is being published in
the report of the National Commit
tee for Mental Hygiene by the Mis-
sissippi Mental Hygiene Commission,
calls attention to the waste of mon
ey in some of our state institutions.
Doctor Haines, Scientific Advisor to
the Mental Hygiene Commission,
with the Superintendent of the In
stitute for the Deaf and Dumb, pick
ed out these children one morning
in December, 1919, from the two
rooms which are devoted to handi-
capped children. In the population
of the Institute for the Deaf there
are probably twenty children who
have no right or title to be receiv-
ing the expensive training advantag-
es which are provided for deaf child
ren. Some of them are deaf-many
of them can hear well-but they
are all eminently defective in their
nervous systems. They are feeble
minded children, whom no training
process can make into citizens. They
have so little ability, they can pro-
fit so little by experience, that they
can never learn enough to be able
to make their own livings. Several
idiots and imbeciles, formerly pupils
at the Institute for the Deaf, are now
inmates of the Hospitals for the In
sane.
The Institute for the Blind has
eight or ten children of the same
class. One family is represented by
two boys who have "a brother in the
group above alluded to at the Insti-
tute for the Deaf and Dumb. Many
of these children at the two institu-
tions have ancestors through two,
and three generations who were deaf
or blind, or both, as well as men
tally defective.
It is important that these children
be taken out of these schools, where
such special facilities are provided
for those deprived Of sight or hear
ing. 1t is equally important that
they be deprived of the privilege of
multiplying their kind. 1t the State
had an institution for the feeble
minded, ssuch as is provided for by
the Mississippi Mental Deficiency
Bill, the present expensive edu-
cational procedure would be saved,
these children would be getting the
kind Of training for which nature
has endowed them; they would be
