No Race Suicide at Lowell.

Press dispatch from Lowell, Ind. >fr. and Mrs. Henry Bahr have taken a decided stand in the race suicide question. Sixteen children is positive proof of their views in the matter. These, however, are only the ones that are living, as there have been eighteen births in the family and sixteen of them are hale and hearty. In the size of the family they are head and shoulders above their nearest rivals in the county, or, in fact, this section of the state. The Bahr family are prominent in Eagle Creek township, where they have resided for some time. Both father and mother are the prime of life. A few days ago a picture was taken of the parents and children, which undoubtedly would make a hit with President Roosevelt.
