Faith Healing Probed

At a large conference of doctors and clergymen held in London in October, 1911, a commit

tee was appointed to report on those 'various

forms of religious and mental healing which have been receiving so much attention in the modern church. This "Committee on Spiritual Healing,

or Faith Cure" has now made its report and is destined to receive as much attention in America as has already been accorded it in England. The significance of this pronouncement is understood when it is learned such physicians as

clergymen

Paul and of Durham and Archdeacon Sinclair

were active members of the committee.

These men agree that prayer has a certain degree of efficacy in healing the sick. They hold that "faith healing" operates in the same way as mental suggestion, but that the latter is usually more effective when accompanied by religious influences. . One recommendation whichhas been heartily seconded by many of those interested, in the subject was that everything possible be done to discourage healing of any kind by unqualified and irresponsible persons.

Of much significance also was the section declaring that investigation has proved that "men

tal healing" and medical treatment may be used

together. Another much mooted point was

touched upon by the committee who hold that no

bonafide faith cure has been found to be efficacious in anything except functional diseases. We have no opinion to offer on these subjects but believe this to be one of the best ways of clearing up some of these bewildering problems and that this report will be found very helpful to many who have undertaken the difficult study of the religious and other non-physical methods of treating disease.

E PLAY LOTS

OF SCHOOL YARDS City Officials Promise School Board an Appropriation to Equip and Open Play Grounds.

Equipping and turning over to the children of Richmond for playgrounds all the school yards of the city as soon as possible, is the plan of the Richmond board, providing the state board of accounts assures the board that expenditures for supervisors of such

playgrounds will be approved by that i

body. This information was given by the school board to Mayor Robbins, and he has promised the city will next year prepare other playgrounds which hoys can use for baseball, football and other sports. During the summer months the east end playgrounds, provided several years ago by the school board, will be under the supervision of a man who lias promised the school board to serve without compensation. It was learned today that the school board last year consulted with members of the former board of public works in regard to the city providing playgrounds for the children, and was assured that an appropriation would be made in the 1914 budget for such purposes, but to the surprise of school authorities this promise was not kept. Mayor Robbins has assured the school board, however, that the 1916 budget will contai na liberal appropriation. Today President Bavis of the board of public works inspected the South Second street playgrounds which the Starr Piano company has tendered the use of for playgrounds purposes, and the city probably will put it in shape this summer, so that the boys in that section of the city can use it for baseball and other games. The grounds will be filled with dirt taken from the Main street improvement. It is also planned to fix up the grounds of the West Seventh Street park so that i hey t an he used for a playground by west side children.

' Wayne county farmers have not stopped working for the return of A. D. Cobb as agricultural agent next year with the passing of a resolution last Saturday afternoon Indicating their favor of the retention of the present county agent, but every member of the Wayne County Better Farming association is acting as a lobbyist with the trustee of his respective township to secure a vote in ratifying Mr. Cobb's appointment which will be made in a few weeks by the extension department of Purdue. Should Mr. Cobb be removed, the farmers claim, the Better Farming association which he has just organized will die as will almost all of the township branches. T. A. Coleman, state agent, was in conference yesterday with O. E. Fulgham secretary of the Better Farming association and stated that in case the county board of education refuses to accept Cobb for another year, Wayne county will not be granted a county agent for at least six or eight , months if that soon

after the expiration of the present term, July 1. The advertising committee of the Commercial club, appreciating the situation, has decided that if there is a break in the occupancy of the office of county agent, the $175 offered as prizes for the corn contest, will be forfeited again to the club. Beyond this action, the club will not take a

stand on the question.

Assessors who have been working in Wayne township under Charles Potter, township ' assessor, presented him with a large Victrola cost

ing $125. It came as a surprise to Mr. Potter, who bad asked the assessors to meet him in his office at the court house to make their final reports. Following a presentation speech by one of the deputies, the Victrola was brought into the office and given to the assessor of the township. Mr. Potter made a short speech thanking his deputies for their gift and their cooperation in the work during the past month and a half.

START Pltt REPAIR Jones and Men Work on the Loberty Road.

The Effects of Opiateo. THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the functions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, cauMag imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet In their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should neyr receive opiates ii the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing 8yrnps and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be . party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to dose them willfully with, narcotics.

Castoria contains no narcotics if it bears the

signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.
