MIR. CASTOR telegr phs us that
another Yankee spy is inside
our lines somewhere"
80 I hear" said the girl, be-
coming serious in her turn.
Somehow or other, CASTOR
has learned that this spy has
been here some time, and is
known as Number Thirteen in
the Federal secret service"
"Our people hanged spy
whose number was 49," said the
girl.
Man or Woman?
Gailliard nodded. "A month
ago. His name was Madden.
Major Allen must have given
the same number to the spy we
are warned to look for. Do you
know, ma'am, whether it's
man or woman?"
Il don't" said Miss Boyd.
But it may be a woman. You
remember that charming widow,
Mrs, Greenhow-who was Rose
ONeil-poor Bob Greenhow's
wife? She left the Old Capitol
Prison before I arrived. But by
prisoners telegraph-you under
stand-she got word to me that
the Yankees were sending a
number of clever women into
the South. That actress who
escaped last week-Pauline Cush-
man-was one of them, no
doubt There's another Mrs.
Edmonds. And still another,
Miss Loveless-Gail Loveless, I
believe. Of course, they have
numbers in the Federal service.
So it may be that there is an
other woman in our lines"
"Jeb Stuart can't go to Penn
sylvania if there's spy in camp
to report his Intentions" said
Gailliard.

said the girl, Spy or no spy.

always the news is wrong. And
that is because their spies are
not trained to estimate num-
bers. They send back exag-
gerated estimates; their Major
Allen reports these figures to
Mcclellan. They petrify him
and he demands more troops.

CHILD HEALTH
DAY MONDAY

these conferences now depends upon
the parents. They have been given a
report of the findings copy ci
which was sent to their family physic-
ian. They have been urged to go to
him for advice and treatment of de-
fects before time to enter school this
fall.
The board of health wishes to thank
all who assisted with these conferences
and especially Miss Helen Shields who
helped six days in the county.
Gov. White in his proclamation, said
in part:
N"Ohio having been a pioneer state
in the advancement of child welfare
through both public and private agen-
cies, it is fitting and proper that such
day should be given general observ-
ance in our state" He further re-
quested that it be observed in schools
by religious, fraternal, and civic or
ganizations, and by citizens generally
throughout the State. It was also urg-
ed that consideration be given the
needs of children in schools, communi-
ties, and homes, and that plans be
formulated for the advancement Oh
child welfare generally.
The Governor appointed as members
of a committee, to formulate and make
public plans and suggestions for prop
er observance Of the day, Director OF
Health H. G. Southard; Director OF
Public Welfare John McSweeney, and
Director of Education, DR. B. @. Skin
ner.
In an interview, Dir. Southard said
"The keynote for May Day for 1898
is Mothers and Babies First. Every
where, physicians, public health Off
GERS and welfare workers realize that
privation in childhood is likely to
show itself in after years in impaired
physical stamina, greater susceptible
ity to disease, and probably in nervous
instability, and now, especially, wild
er knowledge of the effects Of present
privation is wanted. The mortality
rate for mothers can be improved, one
way being the spread of knowledge
that prenatal care is most important" "
In Ohio, DR.. Southland outlined the
voluntary activity on the part of the
local groups and said that it should be
centered around the local health com
missioner. He stressed the need for
campaigns for immunization, pre-
school examinations by family physic-
ians, or, where this cannot be arrang-
ed, by pre-school, conferences should
now be organized. Especially an in
ventory of the health facilities of each
community, the correction of defects
before children enter school, and stim-
ulation of parental responsibility are
in order.
Mr.. McSweeney viewed the Child
Health Day from the standpoint Of
welfare. In a committee conference
today he said, "For one day out Of
