VOLUME SEVENTEEN J LIFE AND PROPERTY DESTROYED BY WIND LITTLE DAUGHTER OF MR. AND MRS. A. E. WALTON CRUSHED TO DEATH BY FALLING TIM- BER, OTHERS INJURED. A small school building on the Holt plantation near Tippettville, in 4hich Sunday Scjiool services were being held Sunday afternoon was the target of a terrific typhoon that swooped down without warning leav ing the building a mass of ruins and the sixty or more people assembled there pinned beneath the timbers. Of the number, one was dead, several seriously wounded while others sus tained bruises, cuts and broken bones. The storm came with such sudden- ess and fury as to leave no chance of escape to those gathered in the build ing. All the fury and force of the wind seemed to concentrate and spend itself on this one point. The roof was lifted from the building releas ing the support of .the walls, which qijckly collapsed, trapping every oc cupant in the building. Those who could, promptly extri cated themselves and summoned help. Mr. A. E. Waltori was one of the first on the scene. He began removing the debris,.discovering first the apparent ly jjianimate body of Miss Gammage. A heavy timber had fallen across her "shoulder and chest, crushing it bad ly. Upon examination she showed signs of life .and although seriously l- injured her recovery is now hoped for. The next body extricated by Mr. Walton was that of his . own little VIENNA. QA.. THURSDAY.

This la a move ment that should and doubtless will enlist the interest of all the mothers.

The following article gives a very lucid understanding of the scope and possibilities of this great work. The weighirig’snd measuring test of children under school age, in connec tion with Children’s Year and Baby Week, will afford American mothers a splendid opportunity to take port in the campaign to save lives. When child is found to be notably below the average in his development it. may mean in many cases that he is not suf ficiently nourished, either from ac tual lack of food, or because his food is badly chosen, or because he been allowed to fall into bad eating habita. A recent report by Dr. Josephine Baker, chief of the Division of Hy giene of the city of New York, says that 90,000 school children in that city are distinctly undernourished, 80,000 more arc in need of medical attention, while still thousands more •re in inch a state of health that they will easily slip over into undernonr- ishment if present conditions contin ue. It is impossible to do much to correct in adults the results of malnu trition In childhood; but thero ’are about ten million children under five years of age in American homes to day who can be prevented from mak ing such a showing as they shall come on to maturity. These undernourish ed school children began, in many cases, by being undernourished in the yean while they were yet at home, when ther esults might, perhaps, have been prevented If the mother had understood what was taking place. Children must have plenty to cab Adults can get along for some time, if necessary, on noticeably restricted diets without serious impairment of health, but children cannot draw on their reserves in this way without detriment to their growth and vigor.
