To Take Bruises Out of Furniture.

Oftentimes in moving furniture 1t
gets bruised, leaving dent or small
hole. This dent or bruise can be easily
raised to the surface again by wettlng
the part with warm water: double a
piece of brown paper five or six times
soak 1t in warm water. and lay 1t on
the place; apply on that warm, but
not hot, fatiron, till the moisture Is
evaporated. If the bruise be not gone
repeat the process. After two or three
applications the dent or bruise will be
raised to the surface. If the brulse be
small, merely soak 1t with warm water.
and hold a redhot iron near the sur
face keeping the surface continually
wet; the bruise will soon disappear.

Give Child Exercise.

The Importance of harmonious de-
velopment as promoted by outdoor ex-
ercise, for the welfare of the nervous
system of the growing child, has been
recognized by both physicians and
laymen since the old Greek times. Cor
rect postural attitudes, good resplra-
tory and articulatory habits also have
conspicuous place in the educational
methods against nervousness. This is
true not only because of their esthetic
value. but because they encourage
greater self-respect, self-control and
self-reliance.

TOOK SENTIMENT TO HEART
Father Of Dead Maori Youth Found
Comfort in Maeterlinck's Really
Beautiful! Contention.

A pathetic story Of Maori father
who was born and grew up among
them. In Asia, he writes:
When l went riding, Koru, who did
odd Jobs round the place and who
rode pony that he called Polo, came
along as q sort of attendant. But his
attitude was different from that of an
English groom instead of clubbing me
Mr." or Sir" he always called me by
my first name.
While l was sojourning In the South
seas, during an absence from New
Zealand, a letter from my sister in
formed me of koru's death. He had
contracted smallpox. In replying
referred to Maeterlinck's contention
that the dead are never actually dead
so long as the living remember them.
In simple words my sister told that part
of my letter to Ben, the father of the
dead boy, and the thought seemed to
impress him deeply. In her next letter
my sister wrote:
Yesterday 1 went with Ben to put
flowers on Koru's grave. Ben talked
as If the boy could hear him. He
said, We'll, Koru, here we are come to
see you. We no forget you. You no
dead while we remember you. Koru.
Polo, the pony, is all right and wonder
where you are. Every little while we
come to see you. And then as we left
he said, 'Goo'-by, Koru. You no dead
while we remember youths Com

Tea for Travellers.

The Chinese, on their rew-built rail-
ways, have established a service which
in its line is beyond anything we
know in this country. 1. is free boil
ing water. At each important sta
ton there is a boiler under a queer
looking circular roof which looks like
huge umbrella. The traveller can
help himself from one Of several taps.
Why boiling water? For making tea,
of course. The traveller brings his
teapot. or at least cup. along with
him; also some tea. He gets his fav-

SsNHR'
SHOULD MAKE OTHERS HAPPY
to Do Something in Memory of
Childhood Days.

~T 7 SEEMS that when one
has grown a little old, the
~ best and the happiest way
\s~ to celebrate Christmas is to
to do something for remem-
brance-in remembrance of ones own
childhood, for Christmas is really for
the children. after all
1t is for children more than for 9TH
erS because it is day that commem-
crates the birth of a child-that won
drous Christ child that was born in a
manager of a stable in the little town
Of Bethlehem 1000 years ago.
Now, there will be scarcely a child
in all the world who will not await
the dawn of Christmas morning with
that day when the morning stars sang
together, and when peace on earth
and good will toward men were pro-
claimed from the high heavens. But,
there will be many a child to whom
Christmas will not bring its dearly
longed-for happiness.
The children of the rich will not
be disappointed, nor will the children
of tie very poor be disappointed. 1t
is the child who has not rich or we'll
TODD folks, but who, at the same time,
is not subject for charity, who will be
unhappy when Christmas comes.
And it is this child that you should
seek out and make happy-for remem-
ORANGES.
You see, it is a fact that we can
make happy Christmas for ourselves
only by making some one else happy.
Do not think that you can make a
happy Christmas for yourself any 9th
er way, because you cannot do so.
Try the way here pointed out. The
child is easily found, and when you
have found that one and have made 1t
happy, the very angels Of God will
envy you the gladness tTat you will
feel.

find some element that would help

BOARD FAVORS
MENTAL WARD
AT COUNTY JAIL
Or. Morgan Proposed City
Hospital, but Gave No Cost,
Members Say.
NO ACTION ON REPORT

y On the receipt of report of DR..
Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the
city board of public health and char
flies, relative to the proposal 20 es-
tablish a psychopathic ward at the
city hospital where insane patients
could be treated and observed before
being sent to the Central Hospital
for the Insane, the county commits
sIoners today indicated that they
probably will disregard the report
aad at once establish a psychopathic
ward at the Marion County Jail with
an expert in charge as we'll as a
number Of nurses.
Some months ago DIR. Morgan was
called into conference to advise the
commissioners regarding the practicable
ity Of establishing a psychopathic ward
at the city hospital. The doctor today
rendered a written report, and It was
stated by the commissioners that the re-
port did not show the estimated cost OF
creating such a ward at the city hos
pital.
Il believe that the best plan is to ere
ate a psychopathic ward at the county
jail" said Commissioner Harry Tutewiler
after reading the report.
All the commissioners favor taking the
insane patients out OF the Jail. but it is
thought that a modern ward can be ere
ated at the Jail as a temporary step to-
ward remedying conditions.
DR.. Morgan, in his report, stated: 'As
mental cases are now cared for in Ma
rion County, there are no provisions for
temporary observations or emergency
treatment previous to their commitment,
with the exception of those who are
financially able to be cared for in pri-
vate institutions.
For the poor and those in moderate
circumstances, the city and Marion
County offers nothing more than deton-
tion in Jail until they are received at
the Central Hospital for the Insane"
DR.. Morgan recommended the follow
ing:
That a psychopathIc ward with a
fifty to seventy-five bed capacity be
established at the City Hospital or
some other location.
That a dispensary be established
for special mental cases to receive
children from the Juvenile Court,
the City Court and other courts.
That 1 fthe ward was established
at the City Hospital. it would give
trimming in mental courses to nurses
who are in training.
That q branch Of the psychopathic
work be added to the social service
department Of the City Hospital
That the head OF the ward be made
j a member Of every sanitary commits
sion.
That It would be less expensive to
establish q ward with a ten bed
capacity at the City Hospital for both
males and females.
~ The commissioners have taken no
5fiicial action on the report.

CRASH
INDICTMENT HIT
Attorneys Seek to Quash Man
slaughter Charge Against
John M. Melvin.

Attacking the legal authority Of the
Marion County Grand Jury in returning
an Indictment charging involuntary man
slaughter against John NJ. Melvin, 944
Lexington avenue, and superintendent or
steel construction for the Hetherington
and Berner Steel Works on the Charles
z. Emmerich Manual Training High
School annex which collapsed last fall,
killing two men and inJuring about
twenty-One wOrkmen, counsel for Mr..
Melvin today filed before Judge James
A. Collins Of the Criminal Court a mo-
ton to quash the Indictment.
Judge Collins will hear arguments and
will rule on the motion to quash on
Saturday morning, April 16. Attorneys
Charles o. ROemIer and Elmer E. Steven
son filed the motion.
Mr.. Melvin was indicted by the grand
jury on March Is and was released on
bail shortly after he was taken into
custody by Sheriff George Snider.
CLAIM 1T IS NOT
PUBLIC OFFENSE.
The motion to quash challenges the
legal right Of the grand jury to in
Quire into the offense charged" and also
contends that the Offense charged does
not constitute "a public offense."
Other reasons given why the motion to
quash should be sustained are:
That the indictment does not show that
the building code of the city of Indian
apolis upon which the indictment is
based was the law Of the State of In
diana" at the time the alleged offense
was committed.
That the indictment fails to state that
unlawful acts of the defendant caused
the structural steel work to collapse and
fall"
That the indictment does not show that
the death of Ezra Tabor. one of the
workmen who was killed, was due to the
unlawful acts or omissions Of the de-
fendant and does not show that any law
was violated"
OTHER DEFENDANTS
ARE ARRAIGNED.
That the indictment does not show a
"wanton or reckless disregard on the
part of the defendant.
Many other defendants who were in
dicted recently were arraigned in court
today, some pleading guilty, but the ma
jority pleading not guilty or filing mo-
tions to quash.
