.F|NDSD.C. CHILDREN
ARE CANDY ADD|CTS
Spare the Pennies and Save the
Youngsters, Says Or.
Joseph A. Murphy.
washington school girls and boys

washington school girls and boys
are eating too much candy.
.Over one-half the ills common to
school children can be traced to ex-
cessive indulgence of sweets. Poor
eyesight. bad teeth, headaches, and
general debility are direct results.
Dr. Joseph A. Murphy, medical in
spector of the District public schools.
made this statement today after a
years observation and examination of
over 10000 grade school children un-
der his care.
DR.. Murphy warned parents to re-
frain from giving their children too
many pennies to spend this summer.
He said the generation of today has
too much spending money. The dearly
beloved suckers" as well as ell other
cheap candies. were called an abom-
ination by the inspector.
81 am sure that IL parents realized
the wrong done their children by Civ
ing them pennies. and thus establish
ing a constant candy supply. they
would refrain from this practice" he
said.
The "penny habit" among children
frequently defeats this purpose of
the summer vacation, said DR.. Muir
ply. Children get their systems so
run down during the summer that
they are unable to resist diseases. like
the measles and mumps, that some
times start in the schools during the
fall and winter months.
DR.. Murphy Is now engaged In
weighing and measuring children of
the schools to ascertain IL they come
up to the established standard OF
health.

ASKNEW LAW
FOR Dc. MILK
Health officer Fowler Urg's
Senate Committee to W.,
Regulating Power.

Recommendation OF the District
Health Department for more s,nn'
gent milk regulation while surrouho
ing the milk supply OF Washins'ou
with perfect safety" would not worn
a hardship on dealers and dairymsn'
DIR. w. c, Fowler. District Heaith
onicer. advised the House Distrie'
sub-committee today.
DIR. Fowler declared there Is urgent
need of new legislation especially 10
keep out impure milk from the Dis
trict. and claimed that the proposed
legislation would not reduce the milk
supply.
wants wider Power.
Power to suspend and revoke per-
mits from farmers and dairymen VINO
do not comply with the test was
urged by DIR. Fowler. who protested
that the department is not now
clothed with sufficient authority to
protect the District consumers OF
milk.
- He said he could not express himself
too strongly in favor of provision
in the law requiring annual renewal
permits so as TO guarantee pure milk
being brought into Washington. In
case where tuberculosis Is known TO
exist in herds, he said these herds
should be tested every six months
until the disease Is known to DO Grad
icated.
DIR. Fowler claimed that the de-
partment should have the right to
suspend any permits when the public
health is endangered, citing a number
of cases where milk is being shipped
into the District under unsanitary
conditions. BY requiring licenses to
be renewed annually he claimed dairy
men would be stimulated to Keep their
herds In more sanitary condition.
The question Of q uniform law for
the tubercular test OF milk was
brought UP by various members OF the
, committee, but II was generally
agreed, while this was the proper So
luton, II should be left to general
legislation by Congress.
DIR. Fowler said the Health Depart
ment ought to have the right to seise
milk brought unlawfully into the
, District and be put In the position
TO prosecute dairymen who bring milk
into Washington In violation of the
restrictions.
Consulted standards Elsewhere.
In fixing the standards Of milk In
the District, DR.. Fowler told the SUB
committee he had consulted the
standards Of Virginia and other
states. He expressed the belief that
the standards here are as high a.
maintained elsewhere.
A section Of DR.. Fowler's Dill
which would not require tubercular
tests for ice cream, excited COM
ment from members Of the COMMITTEES
DR.. Fowler claimed It is unneces-
sary to apply the tubercular tests Tor
milk used in ice cream, as the pac-
terra is destroyed in process OF manu-
facture. ..-.
While a great deal Of Ice cream Is
used by children. he said the use OF
milk and cream 10 much more general.
He doubted IL there Is any danger al
all from the use Of non-tubercuiar
tested milk in the manufacture OF ice
cream and suggested that the present
regulations regarding Ice cream
might be continued with perfect
safety.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. former pure
food expert of the Government, and
Emil Berliner, secretary OF the Anti
Tubercular Society, were waiting 10
testify when the subcommittee re-
cessed this morning.

Federal Court.

Federal Court last week placed
a heavy hand on blockaders.
Robert Livingston, the negro
caught at a still in Hoke county
about a month ago, was SEN
fenced to two years at the At
lanta pen.
Walter Freeman, a notorious
blockader of Moore county, was
sent to Atlanta for two years.
S. G. Swafford, a former CHIEF
of police of the town of Aber.
deem, was sent to Atlanta fol
two years, for blind tigerism.
Formerly the Government was
more anxious to get the money
than to send the men to Atlanta
but this order of things is now
changed. Now that the country
has gone dry, by Federal enact
ment, the Government has re
versed it's old policy, and a fine
will no longer do. When a con-
victed blockader appears in Fed
eral court now he may be mighty
sure he is headed for Atlanta.
