MlfflTS IS SMS PROBLEM Society Seeking Methods For Correcting Habits That Cause Undernourishment NEW'YORK, July 29.—Malnutri tion of children in the United States constitutes a serious health problem, according to the New York Associa tion for Improving the Condition of (he Poor, which for the last four find a half years has been testing various methods of combating tins evil. Some of the facts ascertained from the society’s study are included in a statement given out nere today’. It is set forth that among 2,181 apparently well children examined in the medical clinics of the society, 636, or 30 per cent, were diagnosed as malnourished. The society is seeking the most effective methods of correcting habits of eating or living which cause malnutrition, and has issued a monograph entitled “Food for the Family,” containing suggestions for proper feeding as a means of insuring proper nutrition This condition of malnutrition is not due to insufficient food, but to the constant use of improperly chosen food or the inability of the body to make use of the food eaten because of insufficient air, rest, sunshine or physical defects. If these children were in danger from fire or industrial accidents, the re port of the society says, every safe ty device and preventive measure known would be urged to protect them. Although the effects of ma! nutrition are much slower, often much more indirect and much less dramatic than those from fire or accidents, they are even more de plorable because of the larger num= ber affected and the lingering misery resulting. ing, arriving here Tuesday after noon. Mrs. W. L. McDonald, of Char lotte, N. C., mother of Mrs. Love lace Eve, will arrive in the city Tuesday to visit Mrs. Eve for ten days or two weeks.

THOMAS COUNTY SOLD MANY HOGS THIS YEAR THOMASVILLE, July 29.—Re viewing the hog sales of last year. W. W. Webb, of the State Bureau of Markets, says that Thomas coun ty was third in the state in the quantity of hogs sold and first in the quality of the hogs. The lot of hogs sold here in the sale of last October, Mr. Webb says, was the finest he has ever seen anywhere in the state. He says the prospects are good for Thomas -county to get in the lead this year as he has not seen corn and potatoes so fine and plen tiful anywhere as they are in this county. He and the packing house people have estimated that hogs could be fattened in this county on the surplus peanuts, sweet potatoes and corn at 3 cents per pound. - - A j APARTMENT FOR RENT—Phone 309, 207 East Church St.—ll-ts FOUR-Drawer Golden Oak Y. & E.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER BANKRUPTCY AND JAIL CAN’T SILENCE EDITOR MAGEE “The Fightingest Editor in America” Defies Judge and Bankruptcy LAS VEGGAS, N. M., July 29 Carl C. Magee is staking his free dom and his future on a fight. He has been sent to jail and to the verge of bankruptcy, but he fights on to: Overthrow the political gang that rules San Miguel county. Establish the freedom of the press in New Mexico. He has earned the title of the “fightingest editor in America.” He was given this title when he defied the powers of Judge David J. Leahy boss of the “kingdom of San Mig uel.” Ever since Magee started publish ing his paper in Albuquerque he at tacked the judge as corrupt. Once before he was sentenced to 18 months at hard labor and to pay a fine of S4OOO. He was pardoned by Governor Hinkle before he went to prison. This did not deter him. He had declared his war and he fought on. Defies Court. He was summoned again. Under this threat, he wrote: “Leahy’s ‘court’ isn’t a court. It is a slaughter-house for the blind goddess of justice. ‘“Abandon hope all ye who enter here,’ could be put over the en trance with great propriety. I doubt whether a case, civil or criminal, has been decided there on its merits in 10 years. “If the time ever comes that I can get Leahy on an equal footing with me in an honest court, I’ll take him to the worst cleaning one man ever received. About once in two weeks I have accused him of being a corrupt judge in the hope that I could inveigle him into suing me for libel. Then I’d have him down on the floor of the court with someone else on the-bench and a jury in the box.” So he was sentenced to jail again. Even in his cell writing on a pad of copy paper on the bottom of a chair, he continued his editorial at tack upon Judge Leahy and his as sociates. Forced To Sell Magee came to New Mexico in 1920 from Tulsa, Okla., because of his wife’s illness. He started his first paper and his fight at the same time. His bankers called in loans when he exposed a deal in which banks profited at the state’s loss. He was forced to sell his paper. He bought anothex’ paper, and back ed by the Scripps-Howard organi zation, continue the battle Magee, a rangy man with steel gray eyes, is little worried about his own fate. When he walked into court to face Leahy the last time, he was asked if he had any reason to of fer why sentence should not be pronounced. He remarked in mat ter-of-fact tones, without any hint of being dramatic: Rylander Theatre WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY KATHERINE MCDONALD iniAsrin” - X' a 1 i V-c J K lilf > &* A J *' Also Fast Steppers and Comedy 10c, 20c and 30c DEFIES JUDGE x • . - - - ■ —■».
