Miss Ijowe. secretary of the society, who compiled the statistics, said that the preponderance of women patients was due to the fact that women are more amenable to treatment Many mem. she Mid, were walking the streets ■with consumption and did not know It “With larger quarters," she re marked. "we could handle more pa tients, and we should do it. The great est trouble we experience is In keeping track of patients after they have been given relief at the Battle Hill sani tarium, The hospital is always crowd ed and the city is forced to turn pa tients out as soon as temporary relief Is effected For this reason we should keep track of the patient and continu ally administer treatment."

Sept. 25. -Babies and school children held the attention of the Congress of Hygiene and De mography in its session here today. A paper of absorbing interest, deal ing with infant mortality, was read by- Edward Bunnell Phelps, editor of The American I nderwriter New York city. The subject of medical Inspection for public school children was taken up in most able form by Dr. Helen MiMiir chy, of Toronto, Canada, and Dr Wil lard S Small, principal of the Eastern High school, Washington. D. C. Editor Phelps made the interesting statement that 55.000,000 babies are horn into the world every year. But, on the other hand. 15,000,000 of them die before they reach the age of one year. This means that about 40,000 babies die every day In the year, or on every other tick of the clock an infant life I goes out. To this terrible harvest of Infant lives the United Stales contrib utes 1,000 a day "There are the best of reasons for be lieving.” said Mr. Phelps, "that at least 50 per cent of the world's Infant mor tality is readily preventable, and the civilized countries are Just beginning to awake to that fact Crusade Making Rapid Progress. "The present broad crusade for the reduction of Infant mortality." added Mr Phelps, "dates back scarcely five years, and can now be regarded as lit tle more than a promise of the whole sale movement which Is to come Three International congresses for the discus sion of the subject have already been held in Europe, a permanent interna tional association w ith similar purposes has been organized, and all hold out great promise In France, Belgium, Ger many. Holland. Great Britain, the United States and other countries. The movement has made exceptional prog ress tn Germany . "Mothers should suckle their children as God Intended,” declared Dr. William H. Davis, vital statistician of tin health department of Boston, in the course of an address. "Os babies reaching the age of two weeks," said the doctor, "one in five dies before a year old if hottie fed. while If breast fed only one In 30 falls to teach the one-year mark. This means that the death of these infants would in no pe r (. en t less than they are today if all tiabies were breast fed.” lit Davis said the women of Norway ami Sweden suckle their babies when ever possible, and for that reason those two countries have the lowest rate of infant mortality of any countries in the world The hookworm was the chief topic discussed late yesterday. The ravages that this pest has made in Porto Rico and the effective campaign the United States has made against it. was de sctile.-d by Dr Bailey K Ashford, man ager of the medical corps of the I'nited States army at San Juan. Porto Rico, in an interesting address Wiping Hookworm Out. Dr Ashford said the Porto Ricans had been exposed to the ravag-s of the hookworm for centuries, but since the United States government had taken hold of the island this strange pest had been practically eradicated. The physical condition of the Porto Ricans, said the doctor, is now 50 per cent better than when the government began its campaign against the hook- I worm about seven years ago Since 1904 ovet 300,000 victims of the hookworm have been treated in Porto | I Rico, and with complete success. There remains about 100,000 mote to he treat, •d. but these eases ale not aggravated. Dr Ashford took up the material benefit that has accrued to the Island of Potto Rico because of this highly successful campaign against tite hook worm. He estimated that the com merce of the island had increased at least 400 per cent because of the en ergy and activity of the native laborers after they had been relieved of the hookworm disuse. Talking on Hie subject of ' Signifi cance of Physiological Age in Educa tion.'' Dr Ward Crampton, director of physical training in the New York public schools, delivered an impressive address to the congress Dr. Cramp ton held that physiological develop ment rather than actual age should be the standard of classification in the case of school children. "From birth to maturity." he said, "children develop at different rates some outstripping others in the race so that we find at the age of fourteen about one third who are already quite men and women, one-third in a transi tion period, and one-third quite itn inatuie The difference between the mature ami the immature is so marked that it Is astonishing," declared Dr. t'rompton.-"that the idea of separat ing them for educational purposes has never occurred to our school authori ty e The maum group at, from 30 to 50 per cent heavier. 30 to :>o per cent strOnget and 10 to 15 per cent taller th.m the immature group of tile same j age.

S. 1,000 DAILY; ILD BE SAVED memory changes from rote to asso ciative, the mental gras-p is increased by an influx of newly ripened instincts, resulting from the change from an un sexttal to a sexual existence. The whole attitude toward life becomes attached to manly or womanly things, and the business of childhood Is put behind. All these changes occur about the time the voice deepens, the second molar teeth arrive and other easily recog nizable signs of maturity appear. In short, of those who are from twelve to fifteen in age some are young men and others ate children, regardless of their ages In years or progress in school. "We find the same young men with their ripened potential abilities sitting on the same benches, taught the same lessons and subject to the same dis cipline as children, and the results are quite as poor as they could naturally be under these circumstances. The fundamental fact that the mature and Immature are wholly different and should receive different educational and social treatment is disregarded, in the elementary school the mature do badly, in the high school frankly fitted to their needs they do from 20 to 50 per cent bettor than the immature. While It Is at this point the educational sys tem on inflexible basis of scholasticism and chronological age breaks down, it suffers from a lack, of rational classi fication where mature and immature children are brought together in the sitme class room.” HURT WANTS HEALY TO MAKE EVEN START IN SKY SCRAPER RACE That skyscraper race needs new rules and a handicap agreement. Joel Hurt, who has Just broken ground for his new office building in Edgewood avenue, returned from New York to read in The Georgian that the race between the Hurt building and William Healy's long-awaited struct ure in Fprsyth street was on and the starters had left the post. "That's not fair." he said today. "Mr. Healy has had a big start on me. He's been digging that* hole three years, and the excavation is one of the biggest parts of tite job. But I'm going right ahead and maybe I can catch him.” A committee of mutual friends, it is reported, will wait upon Mr. Healy and ask him to withdraw his army of engineers until Mr. Hurt’s excavation Is completed Then, with both build ers at the scratch, the word may be given and the steel frames started up.

Crushed by the wheels of an auto mobile. twelve-year-old Alice Overby, daughter of Mrs. W. G. Overby. 83 Au burn avenue, lies, died at the Davis- Fischer sanitarium in Linden street and the body is being held at Greenberg & Bond’s. Hesitating between the curbing and the street car track while autos bound homeward from the theaters whizzed about her at Peachtree and James streets last night at 11 o’clock, the child stepped directly Into the path of an electric coupe driven by Miss Har riet Cole. Before the little machine could be halted both wheels passed squarely over the child's body, injuring her fatally. According to eyewitnesses, including .Miss Graham, who was with Mrs. Over by and the girl, the trio started across Peachtree street, the child in the lead. Miss Graham stopped, she says, to let an electric filled with men and women pass. As the machine whizzed by she heard a short scream and found Alice prostrate on the pavement. Miss Cole, w ho was driving the coupe said that st.e stopped long enough to be assured that the child was not badly hurt, and then drove home. The polica today will make a case against her for reckless driving. The injured girl was first removed to the Grady hospital, but later was taken to the Davis-Fischer sanitarium CONTRACTOR ASKS FOR RETURN OF MONUMENT UNLESS IT IS PAID FOR MACON, GA., Sept. 25. —F. C.

Ga., has applied to city council for permis sion to move from the public park in front of the city hall the monument erected last year by the veterans to "The Women of the South.” The sum of $2,200 is owing on the shaft and there seems no hope of rais ing this amount. The local Daughters of the Confederacy and the club wom en will hold a special meeting this aft ernoon to decide on some means where by the monument can be. saved and Macon spared the humiliation of hav ing it moved to satisfy a claim.

Bodine, su perintendent of compulsory education, declared the greatest enemy of the little citizen was child marriage. He urged proper registration of births and deaths, advocated the adoption of Dean Sumner's recommendation requiring health certificates before marriage, and asked assistance from members of the league in ridding the city of stores adja cent to schools that sell boys tobacco. MADERO’S FOES IN CONGRESS UNITE TO FORCE HIM TO QUIT MEXICO CITY, Sept. 25.—The anti- I .Madero faction in congress, at a caucus lasting through the night, voted early today to oppose the president's appeal for $10,050,000 to crush the various rev olutions in .Mexico.

Madero will be help less and probably will have to resign, as a former appropriation of $10,000,000 is exhausted. Tuberculosis Remedy Based on Medicine To say that a specific exists for the cure of Consumption is perhaps too strong a statement, but in Eckman’s Alterative we have a medicine that has been the means of saving many a life to years of usefulness, anil in permanently benefiting a large number of Consumptives. Certainly a person afflicted with a wast ing disease should be well fed with wholesome, nourishing food, but frequent ly raw eggs in quantities cause a digest ive breakdown, and then no food nour ishes. Ah for milk, a very good food for many, but a producer of biliousness for some. Any diet that keeps a Consumptive well nourished is the right one,- but what is going to improve the patient? Eckman s Alterative has brought about full recov ery in many cases of Consumption. Bet those speak who know. Here is one 90 Savannah St.. Rochester, N Y. Gentlemen: On .June 2, 1907, I was operated upon for Tubercular peritonitis at ar Y‘s Hospital, Rochester. N. Y. After the operation my physician gave me up as hopeless.

I now weigh 125 pounds, and am absolutely well. Believing I owe it to myself and others I make this statement.” (Sworn Affidavit) « . . EDNA EINZER. Eckmans Alterative is effective in Bronchitis.
