John Harris, local man, has en-

army during the war. He also had a
brother who served in the fifth regi-

in the st. Miheil drive in France.
Harris said he liked the service and
would re-enlist if he could get some
foreign service, so Sergeant Hooper,
the local marine recruiter, had him
sent to the Hula. Hula land.
Sergeant Hooper says: "Wei all

the bad effects even OF moderate
smoking on athletics. II was found

Accepts Position
In Life Insurance

DR.. K. R. Bragg has accepted the
position as district manager Of the
Northwestern Mutual Life insurance
Co., and will have his office in the
Bragg building. Regarding the change
DR.. Bragg stated: Having decided
to make this change / wish to thank
the people of Mexico and the sur
rounding country for their splendid
support during my 20 years of prac-
ticing dentistry in Mexico.
"This change makes it possible for
NE to be out among my friends, an
opportunity for which | have always
wished. However, / am glad that my
son, DR.. Minter X. Bragg, who has
practiced with me for several years,
will continue the practice of dentistry
in the same office. My patients may
rest assured that he will serve them
equally as well as / have endeavored
10 do in thepast. My insurance Of
flee will be in the adjoining rooms
and l will appreciate any insurance
business entrusted to me-"
DR.. Minter X. Bragg, following his
graduation from the school of Den
tistry at Northwestern University,

made a study of X-Ray dentistry. He
is a most efficient dentist and has a
modern X-Ray equipment in his Of

Feeble Minded
Make Paupers
And Criminals

Feeble-mindedness is n of the
greatest single factors in hereditary
pauperism, juvenile crime and vice.
adult crime and vagrancy, and the
spread OF venereal diseases, according
to surveys made by the National Hy-
giene Committee, carried on in this
state under the direction of DR..
Thomas II. Haines, assisted by a COM
mittee including DR.. Charles A. ELL
wood and Prof. A. F. Kuhlman of the
sociology department of the Univer-
sity.
1t was found that of the inmates
OF the state prisons q to 30 per cent
were predetermined and that of the in
mates of the training schools, reform
atorles, work houses and home of re-
fuge 80 per cent were Predetermined.
Inc survey of the institutions of the
state has produced some interesting
data. The industrial homes at Chilli
Gothic and Upton and the reformatory
at Boonyile were the first studied.
Among the 235 white girls at Chilli
Gothic, 10 were found to be feeble
minded and II of border-line intelli-
gence. OF the 81 negro girls at Tip
ton, 8 were feeble minded and 10 of
border-line intelligence. Of the 400
white boys at Boonville, 38 were
feeble minded and 81 we're of border
line intelligence. Of the 1873 negro
boys at Boonville, % we're feeble
minded and 10 were of border-line in
telligence. The feeble-mindedness
among the white boys and girls runs
about 10 per cent of the total number.
Among the negroes it is about Is per
cent. The population Of the Belle
fontaine Farm was investigated and 7
white and 3 colored boys were classed
as feeble-minded and 81 others as Of
border-line intelligence. The st. Louis
workhouse gave the following data:
81 feeble-minded and 2 of border-line
intelligence out Of about 145.
A study of the county almshouses Of
the state shows 442 Predetermined in
mates who are judged to be congenital
detectives. Many of these are the
parents and grandparents of other
feeble minded persons. In one of the
southeastern counties there are eleven
inmates in one almshouses seven of
whom are feebleminded. Five Of these
belong to one family. Similar instan-
ces of inherent feeble-mindedness are
to be found in every part Of the state.
The survey has gone still farther
and has aimed at the bottom of the
evil. Proper training during youth
and childhood will correct the tenden-
cies of many feeble-minded delin-
quents with whom our correctional in
stitutions are now dealing. The or
binary school curriculum has been
found to be i'll adapted to the training
Of these minds. 1t is believed that
the proper administration Of the pub
lie schools in Missouri will have much
to do with diminishing the work Of
the ~penitentiary.
