That Bad Boy. Jacob Riis says, "There ain't no seen animal." This surprising news was conveyed to the eugenists at the Race Betterment Conference held in Battle Creek last month and as if it were not sufficient that one prominent authority should deny the existence of bad boys, Dr. H. Aldington Bruce, another authority and equally prominent, has verified the statement of Mr. Riis in an article published by no less a magazine than the Century. Of course, Riis and Bruce have both seen bad

boys and they do not deny that the best of boys is often guilty of the worst of deeds but they affirm this badness is not something built by nature into the boy's being but rather is something

' permitted to take root there by ignorant parents.

It is squarely on the shoulders of these same parents that Dr. Bruce places the responsibility for boy badness. "What is needed," he writes,

Then why should they take their word about our well water? If the health officer does not believe in them, why should the people believe everything and fill up their wells?

lives in filth and carries filth with it wherever it goes to the end of its days. Every imaginable form of reeking, noisome excrement is peddled about over the house, around the dinner table and in the baby's cradle. Nothing is exempt. The baby's milk bottle does not escape. The coffee cup, the molasses pitcher, the butter plate, clothing, curtains, furniture, wherever it alights the fly is certain to leave a fragment of filth. Flies in the house make the doctors smile. Flies on the table boom the undertaker. "Flies in (he raflk may mean a family in the grave."

They will scatter one can of garbage all over;

the city. They will impose one manure pile on the entire community. They are the purveyors of filth and cart it everywhere. If you don't want filth left on your windows p.nd curtains, in your food and drink, on your clothing and on your baby's face and hands, get after the fly. Put it out of business. Don't be content merelv to screen the house.

MORRISON-REEVES LIBRARY1,. Mr. Sanford's easy, breezy method of disposing of the difficulties at the public library is refreshing. A sheet of paper, a pencil, and 'a diagram, is all that was needed to make architectural and other changes. We will review some of them. It is proposed to bring the Juvenile department down to the second floor by

abolishing the librarian's work room.

I think a few measurements would convince any one that the room is not large enough for the purpose. The north entrance is most objectionable. The steps are covered with snow and ice during the winter. I have seen Beveral persons get hard falls from the irregular, slippery steps. If Mr. Sanford's plan is carried out, I bespeak for the children a new and covered stairway. He abolishes one of the reference rooms to create a "municipal department," whatever that may mean. The present reference rooms are full to overflowing. What is to be done with these books? To do good work, the reference librai i. i. i. i

though every passible thing was done to win!hand In all this discusS0I1 there

seems to be but one class of readers considered the workingmen. Don't forget the club women and other quiet students; provide them a comfortable place also. Branch libraries in Carnegie buildings, with a club room on the lower floor and a library above would seem to be a better way to get the working men and the books together. Has any one suggested enlarging the building south of the library building and converting it into a stock room (with light on all sides) and taking the present stock room for reference of Juvenile department? The lower part of such a building could be

used as a club room if desired.

At a meeting of the men of Earlham college, called by some of the older students Monday, speeches were made by President Kelly. Prof. Elbert Russell and. S. Edgar Nicholson, in an effort to arouse the students to participate in the local option campaign. President Kelly called the attention of the studemts to the fact that Earlham is closely affiliated with Richmond and that it necessarily became the duty of the students to co-operate in the present campaign. He also spoke of the Importance of the present issue in its relation to the

attributes a certain proportion of badness, a point he illustrated by the case of the Cleveland lad who suddenly developed from an almost goody-goody youth into a thief. Even a term in the reformatory failed to cure this lad's recalcitrancy and he continued his depredations al-

That helps some. "It is better to screen the'

cradle and wear a smile than to scoff at the precaution and wear mourning. Screens on the windows prevent crepe on the doors." Rut in spite of screens, flies get in. They discover little openings here and there, and find their way into the house. A screen will help but it is not sufficient. It is good to swat the fly: it is better to prevent him. Screen manure piles in such a way that not one fly can get at it. They would rather breed in that than in anything else. Don't let any filth of any kind accumulate anywhere on your premises. Flies love filth. They breed in it. They cany it around and they will plant little colonies of bacteria (bacteria also breed in filth) all over your premises.

him from the error of his ways. But finally, through a lucky accident, a physician chanced to find the lad's teeth hollowed out by abscesses. "Here," said the doctor, "is the source of the trouble. This lad's body is being poisoned daily by these decayed teeth." And sure enough, after the rotted teeth had been taken from his mouth, he began steadily to improve and finally became a normal, well behaved young man. Among other factors in the formation of boy character, Dr. Bruce lays special emphasis on the general atmosphere of the home in which the

j child spends its early years. He believes it is the J influence of the instinctive and unconscious acts

of its parents and other members of the family which has most influence over the boy's character. Compared with this steady, continual atmospherisc pressure, the words of rebuke or of pleading now and then have very little weight. It is what the home and the family say steadily and continuously by acts, tone and temper that fashions the character of childhood. It is a very fine thing to have these brainy men philosophizing about the bad boy and there is no denying the truth of what they say: but they will help a great deal more if they will explain to us why so many "bad" boys manage to blossom out into presidents, senators, inventors, artists and even first-class preachers.

IS i

A Charity Expert. Excellent progress has been made in the work of reorganizing Richmond's charities. The

needs have been seen, the weakness of present!

methods has been felt and determined effort

being made to cope with the situation. But it is in the very work of reorganization that most difficulty is encountered. It is just that part of the task which convinces every interested person that charity is indeed a science to be administered only by those with special training for the task.

Those of our family who were at our home and took the fever did not stay long enough to drink the water; furthermore, this is the third time they have had the fever in their family.

story. There is no doubt but what this city needs a laboratory of its own, but doesn't Dr. Smelser think we have had enough trouble without having statements published that are not true, such as our well being known as the "typhoid well". Our well has been used by folks for over thirty years and this is the first time we have ever had typhoid fever in our family. Also stating nine cases had been traced to it. Row does Dr. Smelser have the right to say the four cases of H. H. Steinbrtnk came from this well, thetr first case was a daughter-in-law who came here from Indianapolis to spend the holidays and t-took sick. She was not near our

uary and we were quarantined which is the state law, and most every one knows that the city is supposed to look after you and provide you with food, and that is what they did not do for us. I called Dr. Smelser over the phone and asked him what he intended to do. He said if we could afford to pay it, they would, but they could not afford to O. K. every one's grocery bills, and if we had a large family of children it would be different. I dropped the matter for several weeks, thinking Dr. Smelser would do the right thing, but up until last Saturday nothing had been done, so I sent the bill in to Mr. Robbins, and ho looked after it immediately and said he would have Dr. Smelser O. K. it, now this comes out in the

paper. Perhaps I have the wrong thought in mind but it looks that way to me, because the fever developed several months ago. On December 20, 1913, Dr. Markley took the first water from our well and in about five or six weeks Mr. Flook came after some. We were waiting patiently to her of the water Dr. Markley had taken, not knowing it had never been sent away until Mr. Flook told us. When Dr. Markley took the water it was after both my father and brother had died and my other brother was convalescing from the fever at the hospital. As to Mr. Barton, he came to our home to nurse my father and he complained at the start of not feeling well and could not sleep. My mother told him that he had better not take the case, but he said he knew how bard it was to get a nurse, so he stayed because he was not afraid of the disease, as he himself had had it. How do we know whether he took it from our well or not; could it not have been in his system when he came to our house, as he was not feeling well? Furthermore we had plenty of boiled water all the time he was there, as we gave father boiled water all the time. We cautioned Mr. Barton about using the well water. Why publish what you did in the paper and have people think we were so careless, and let everybody use

ASKS DOCTORS TO PRESCRIBE RHEUMA

Agent Green burg Shows Faith in One Rheumatic Remedy After Six Years' Suffering. "3S39 Cottage Grove Ave., Chicago, 111., March 17, 191?.. For six years, on and off, just as the weather would change, I have suffered agony from Rheumatism, the pains in my big toe, left foot, knees, hips and groins being almost unbearable. At such times I hardly dared take a step for fear of another attack. I spent many dollars and became thoroughly disgusted with so-called Rheumatic remedies, until I tried RHEUMA. I was buying some liniment when your Peoria, 111. agents recommended your remedy. I have since asked physicians to prescribe RHEUMA for Rheumatism. The train crews on the Rock Island Railroad, who saw me limping along using a cane, will verify my statements. Yours most sincerely," J K. Greenburg, News Agent, Rock Island Railroad. Anybody can afford to pay 50 cents to get rid of terrible Rheumatism, Sciatica, Gout, Lumbago, and that's all RHEUMA costs at Leo H. Fihe's, and he says if it does not do all that Is claimed for it, money back. RHEUMA costs very little, but it is one of the best remedies you can find to drive Rheumatic poisons from the system and bring hack perfect health. (AavrttMmant
