HARBOR MINES SHIPPED WEST (National News Association WASHINGTON, May 8. Several thousand pounds of trotol, used as an explosive for harbor mines, was shipped from the Dupont powder works In Delaware to San Francisco today under orders of the war department The shipment, It was declared at the department, has no connection with the controversy with Japan over the alien land law in California. Major W. Cole in charge of the work of laying mines In harbors said that on January 21 bids were asked on 40,000 pounds of trotol to be used for harbor mines and some of it would be used on the Pacific coast. The shipment toSan Francisco does not n way have connection with the Japanese situation, he aimed.

Prof. K. D. Meyers, of Indiana University, gave an address before the Wayne County Medical society yesterday afternoon on the subject of "The Kallikak Family," a study in heredity. "There are many students attending schools in Indiana as many other states who are physically developed though their minds are childish," said the speaker. "This fact has been ascertained ; through the complex system worked out by a French scientist. The scheme of the system is to work out a number of questions which are extremely simple to start with and gradually become more complex. These questions are asked a number of children of normal minds and the places where they break down and fail to answer the question is taken as the height of their advancement. When these same questions are sometimes asked adults it is ascertained that therp are many who have the bodies of men and women though they only have the mental capacity of a child." This result is the outcome of feeblemindedness to which may be attributed, epilepsy and insanity according to Prof. Meyers. In the course of his talk it was diagramatically shown how 480 invalids, feeble minded persons, insane inmates of houses of ill fame, and alcoholics were brought into the world through an indiscreet act of a soldier named Martin Kallikak who took advantage of a feeble minded girl during the war which resulted in the birth of a child, who continued the work of bringing these forms of persons into the world. Burden To Country. How these people are Increasing in numbers was explained and what a burden to the country they are becoming, was illustrated by showing how this one family was filling up insane hospitals, penal and charitable institutions throughout New England. Statistics were read showing that of the 100 cases tried in the Newark

juvenile court, 67 were feeble minded children; of the 67 girls in the reformatory In Newark, 52 are feeble

minded. Other institutions reported

that 40 per cent of the inmates were

feeble minded. Segregation Necessary.

"The remedies for these conditions are few, though if we could segregate

them into a colony we would be com paratively safe," he said. According to Prof. Meyers the num

ber of feeble minded persons would be reduced from 300,000 to 100,000

within one generation if they could

be segregated. The problem of stamp

ing out this evil is a greater one than

the reform problem now being cam

paigned against in various parts of Indiana. Following the speech of Prof. Meyere a general discussion on the subject ensued. Those who attended the meeting represented a large per cent of the Richmond - Ministerial association, nurses and a number of teachers. Addison Parker spoke on conditions in this city, and said Richmond was not exempt from conditions similar to those portrayed by the speaker. County Clerk Blamed.

Rev. B. E. Parker stated that he

had been compelled to perform marriage ceremonies for persons for

whom he entertained grave fears.

How some of them ever get by the

county clerk is more than I can understand," he said. "If I were clerk I

would be careful to whom I gave out

license." Dr. J. N. Study said he did not see

how some persons secured a marriage license. "I do not believe a minister is doing his duty when a ceremony is performed where there is the slightest doubt as to the mental capacity of the

applicants."

Another member of the society re

ferred to a marriage ceremony which recently resulted in prosecution of one. of the contracting parties in the cir

cuit court.

.LI IbllU IILULIILU BY POLICY HOLDERS

Democratic House Member

Says It's Trick of Insurance Companies.

Yesterday saw cleaning week ended.

Never has the weather man smiled

more propitiously upon an enterprise.

Not a rain from start to finish. It has been a busy, happy week for the chil

dren. The people of Richmond should

know how they have worked. It is in

teresting, pathetic, laughable, their

scramble for the flag. We hear that

they are actually crying for fear they

will fail to get it.

In one building there are two lea

gues, in each room hot rivals, verita

ble fighting between the sides. Records are kept on the blackboards in the rooms, open and fair for all to see.

The captains urge any that lag and spur on the tardy ones. Some of the poor children have had to come to school with unsigned reports because their parents go away to work then

there are some more tears, genuine

ones. Jvive little yaraiess urcnins went

with their teacher to dig dandelions

in her yard, thus earning plants and

went away each with an apple and an ice-cream cone; but the whole story is

past telling.

The grounds about the buildings are

in scrupulous order, crossings, alleys,

every crack and corner swept and

garnished. The teachers have made the week an opportunity to instruct in patriotism and citizenship.

The students in Garfield are not en

rolled in Juvenile Leagues but this assistance has been most valuable. They printed 2000 pledge cards gratis and have been discussing civic conditions, improvement plans and betterment work.

James Brice says, "A citizen must

be able to understand the interests of

community, must be able to subor

dinate his own will to the general will, must feel his responsibility to the com munity and be prepared to serve it by voting and working for it."

In all the picture shows there may

be seen "Assist the Great Vork of Cleaning Week, May 1st to 7th."

Today the teachers final reports are

placed with the "Awardirfg Committee." They determine which school has worked the most hours, which build

ing will be entitled to the flag. Interesting comparisons will also be made.

The greatest care will be used to reach just conclusions. Numbers enrolled both in schools and leagues will be taken into account. Results will

appear iu Friday's issue. ,

Groups of most-hour workers in

each school will be photographed today. Mr. Dalbey, the artist and Sharon

Jones, chairman Awarding Commit

tee, are motoring about taking the pic

tures which are to appear in Saturday's papers. The flag will be display

ed in the winning school. It is a beau

ty, well worth the best efforts of any institution. It is made of rich silk, five feet by seven, full sewed, splendid coloring, clean white and bright red stripes, deep blue stars, fine pole and

shining spear, it's price $25.00. Truly it is an elegant emblem of "Old Glory" a prize any school will be gratified to

win. Awards will be made Friday. Flag presentation accompanied by appropriate exercises, will be described in Saturday's paper. The outward aspect of a community is the badge of the spirit of the community. Citizens may well ponder this truth, the better the surroundings, the better the product. There is strong social significance in the statement. The higher the culture of a people the more beauty is demanded. , MRS. F. W. STEPHENS. Chairman Prinftng Com.

BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER, M. C. WASHINGTON, May 8. The great nsurance companies are spending

$100,000 or so In two-cent stamps complaining to ther policy holders, the burden of thVomplaint being that

the income tax of one per cent, if assessed against the dividends of the company as . proposed by the Underwood tariff bill, will in the end fall on the policy holders.

The purpose is, of course, to rouse

'he thirty million policy holders of the

United States to their "danger," so

that a deluge of letters may frighten the Democratic house into exempting nsurance companies from the tax.

And the public, having been gulled

often in the past by the insurance

companies, is swallowing this latest

bunk of the insurance kings, and many letters of protest are being received by congressmen.

A little analysis of insurance

finance, however, shows how ridicu

lous is this threat of the companies to pass the income tax along to the

?olicy holders. They will no more

think of doing it than they will of closing up their affairs because their

Incomes will be taxed.

For many years the insurance com

panies maintained the fiction that the

"dividends" paid to policy holders were

actual dividends. Dividends were the

bait held out by the companies to at

tract business. The agents and advert tising literature told of the wise investments and economical management of the companies, which enabled them to permit policy holders to share in the profits. Thousands of people believed this, and insured themselves

in the companies paying the highest dividends.

Then congress passed an excise law

taxing dividend corporations. At once the' insurance companies asked for exemption. Their dividends to policy holders, they explained (and truthfully this time), were not dividends at all. They charge the policy holder too much for insuring him (30 per cent

too much is the exact figure), and they each year graciously return part, but not all, of this overcharge and call it

a dividend.

The government, however, decided

to take the companies at their adver

tised word, and imposed on their net profits out of which they declare dividends, the one per cent excise tax, which, by the way, was never passed along to the policy holders. The Underwood bill simply substitutes for the one per cent corporation tax a one per cent income tax. And the companies are trying to frighten their polfcy holders by telling them they will have to stand this tax in reduced dividends. Is this threat likely to be carried out? The New York insurance investigation showed that in 1907 the insurance companies earned net $135,000,000 on a capitalization of only $20,000,000, or 657 per cent in onet year. This profit was genuine, and it was paid in genuine cash to the insurance stockholders a far different dividend than the one paid to policy holders. The JEtna has earned as high as 166 per cent In a year on its capitalization ;

the Prudential M per cent; the Metropolitan 140 per cent, and "so on. Moreover, the insurance companies have heaped np a ast reserve fund, which is commanded by the Wall street financiers as an admiral commands a fleetOut of their tremendous profits, the Insurance companies could well afford to pay actual dividends to policy holders, besides charging 30 per cent less for insurance. The sUe of the dividend is the insurance company'! best advertisement Do you suppose, for an instant the insurance companies intend partially to kill the public goose that lays the golden Wall street egg by cutting down policy holders' dividends by the

amount of the income tax, with a re

sultant loss of highly profitable business? Says Representative Cordell Hull, author of the income tax bill: "It is not believed by any person familiar with the facts that any of the one per cent tax will fall on the policy holders."

lings a year to be paid to "a poor man" employed to go about church in summer to keep people awake. At another English church, that of Acton, in Cheshire, it was the practice during the middle of the last century for one of the churchwardens to proceed through the church during service with, a huge wand in his hand wherewith if any one of the congregation were observed to be asleep he was instancy awakened by a tap on the bead. Icf Warwickshire a similar custom prevailed. A warden bearing a stout wand shaped like a hay fork at the end stepped stealthily up and down 1 the nave and the aisles, and whenever he saw an individual asleep be touched him so effectively that the nap was broken, this being sometimes accom

plished by the application of the fork

to the nape of the neck. A more playful method obtained in another church. The beadle went about during service carrying a long staff, to one end of which was attached a fox's brush and to the other a knob. With the former he gently tickled the faces of the women sleepers, while with the knob he bestowed a sharp rap on the heads of male offenders. Exchange.

T

f

The physician In charge of the fa

mous United Doctors' Richmond Insti

tute glrs oat a rery interesting theory j tn regard to the cause of the physical decline of old age. The doctor, is of the opinion that most men lose their faculties and vigor much sooner than necessary. He predicts that future generations will be much longer llred

on account of a more general- knowl-j edge of medicine among physicians of j the future. :

The United Doctors' system otj treatment is based .upon the proposition that there are three causes fcr the decline of the faculties and shrinking and shrirellng of the various organs In old age. First: The stomach, llrer and bowels become clogged by over eating or eating Improper foods. The result of the clogging is an Improper elimina-t tion of waste products. Second: The kidneys beconjf weak-,

ened from over-indulgence and excess, causing poor elimination of urates, phosphates, etc, and the formation of poisonous acids. The results of poor elimination by the bowels and kidneys Is the storing up of a host of wast products In the system. The blood is clogged -with waste, which settles la the tissues, muscles and bones. The bones become bard, brittle and weak. The wast settles In the muscles, weakening and shriveling them and caus

ing a multitude of aches and pains, and a general clogging and stiffening of the whole body. The third cause of premature old age is the weakening of the nerves due to excess In living and worry and excitement of our life.

The usual treatment for the various j

aches and weakness of old ace Is physics and tonics. The physics weak

en the bowels and kidneys still more, i

snd the tonics give a false strength which is simply a borrowing from the; future, which must be paid back with i Interest The rational and scientific treatment ' Is a general cleansing and purifying, of the whole system, including the? blood, bowels, liver and kidneys. Tn! cleansing is not done with physics, or'

so-called blood purifiers, but must be done with special medicines suitable to the particular case at hand. Then after the system has been thoroughly cleansed, the various eliminating organs must be built up by suitable medicines so that they will properly eliminate all the wast In the future. The nerves must be fed not with nerve tonics or stimulants, but with nerve builders, nerve foods. The nerves control every organ In the body, and If the nerves are weak the whole system is weak. . Thus the secret of good health In old sge Is to cleanse the system and keep It clean. To build up the nerves and thereby keep up the nerve tension and vitality. Give us an old man of sixty or seventy, who has no organic lesion, but who is simply broken down from excesses and wrong llTing. and by our modern system of treating the cause of the ailment we will clean him up and build him up so that be will have the elastic strength and manly vigor

of an ordinary man of forty. Building

up the nerves puts energy In the muscles, vim in the vitality, makes the memory return and thoughts Cow through the brain as of old." Ope man of seventy-five, whom we treated but three months, said: 1 wouldn't take $3,000 for what you have done t-r me." AnotU-r man of sixty-four said: Tctor you have turned back the hands f time for pie, I feel as well as I did twenty-lve years ago. X enJoy lii. I enjoy work. I enjoy my home a "rain." .
