IConfesses Rifling
Mail Boxes Along
Columbia Road
Youth Held By Federal AuthOri-
ties-Escaped Nine Times
From Institution

Federal authorities were given a
signed confession on Friday of last
week by Mahlon 3. Saffell, 16, who
had been taken into custody by local
authorities, charged with rifling
three mail boxes along the Columbia
Pike. In his statement to the Fed
eral men, he asserted he would go
anywhere in preference to the cor
rectional institutions in which he had
been confined previously.
According to the boys story, he
has escaped nine times from St.
Mary's Industrial School, where he
was confined three years ago, and
once from the Maryland Training
School for Boys, at Loeb Raven
where he was sent sometime ago.
The youth told his story without
embarrassment, saying that he would
rather go to Federal penitentiary
than back to either of the institu-
tons from which he had escaped. He
said that his escapes from st. Mary's
were made by climbing wall, but
that "then they sent me to place
where there wasn't even wall"
He was picked up Friday night by
Deputy Sheriff Frederick Kramer,
who located him at the home of his
grandfather, c. E. Stull, a citizen of
the Dayton vicinity. The boys par
ents are separated. His father, How
ard Saffell, lives at West Friendship,
and his mother, Mrs. Eva Saffell, at
Butler, Baltimore County.

Auditing Time For
The Human Body, Says
DIR. r. H. Riley

i
If you have not had one made lately
is the advice of DR.. R. H. Riley, Di.
rector of the State Department Of
Health, to grown-ups in Maryland.
go to your doctor and to your
dentist" DR.. Riley said, "fnd out
how you stand so far as your physi-
cal resources are concerned. If your
reserve supply of health needs
watching or if you have been over
drawing your account they can help
you either to build it up again or to
conserve what you have. 81
Continuing the comparison of ones
physical resources to bank account,
DR.. Riley said: eve all start out in
life with certain amount of biologi-
cal capital. We conserve our physi-
cal resources and build up our health
account by hygienic living. The ac-
count needs close watching, because
we draw more heavily upon it than
we realize, in the ordinary and extra
ordinary wear and tear of daily life
when we disregard the rules of health
and when we. have illnesses of any
sort. Unless we have the account
balanced from time to time, we are
likely to find ourselves with very
little reserve supply to our credit.
"This is particularly true Of
grown-ups. The health accounts Of
a great many young children, and OF
girls and boys of school age, are
audited regularly, through the child
health conferences that are feature
of health protection work, every
where, and through the periodical
physical examination and inspection
of school children. The grown-ups
are the ones who need to form the
habit of the periodical health exami-
nation.
"Over half of the deaths that occur
each year and great part of the
\ ulSdD1lIlK ulHcS0co are uuC w COAi'
ditions that have slow beginnings
and that ordinarily do not make
much Roadway until middle life. Ill
nesses and deaths from heart disease
diseases of the kidneys, cancer, cere-
bral hemorrhage, diabetes and dis
eases of the arteries are in this class,
The deaths from these diseases
which we usually speak of as the
degenerative diseases Of middle life
and the older age grOups-constitute
over half the deaths recorded in the
State, from all causes and at all
ages. Many Of them could be
checked, much suffering could be
prevented and lives prolonged for
usefulness and enjoyment, through a
periodical health audit, prompt treat
ment and the necessary conservation
Of the physical resources under the
direction Of the family physician.
"To prevent ire accumulation Of
avoidable liabilities, and the old year,
or start 1887, by having the neces-
sary audit made Of your physical
resources"
