Sept, fl—Three are thf three cardinal principles that Induced Dr. H. Lincoln Chaee. a Brookline physician for 30 yearn, to giva up his lucrative practice and remove to Last Alatead, N. H , where he intends to establish a community life with kin dred souls and will prove that the above principles can be lived and make for happiness Associated with him are his wife. Mrs. Margaret ('base, and Hartley Dennett, commonly known as her sou! mate Already Mr. Dennett and Mrs. Chase are located there, where they are preparing to receive the doctor a* soon as he can conveniently Jen v s Brookline after wiling his attractive home. No 22 Kennard road. Dr. Chase Is an authority on the training of children, and will give the results of his long experience to the town’s people He will be also in every civic Improvement of the vil lage. and will aim to carry, ns far as he can, his practical ideas of what makes an Ideal neighborhood. The presence of Mr Dennett in his home has caused some comment, but they share with each o f her the same views about life and both tench them by example and precept. Dr. Chase has been identified with the Board of Health of Brookline for 22 year-s. He was me first to Intro duce phvsical training among the school children, and wan head of many improvements 1n the town, where the best part of his life has been spent. The community life that will be established may be the beginning of a project which may spread to other towns Anyway. Dr. (’base hop*® to interest other villages In his cardinal principles. Three Cardinal Principles. Dr. Chase said: The three cardinal principles that will be emphasized there are purity, peacefulness and thoughtfulness. Mv wife. Mrs. Margaret E. Cham*. Hart ley Dennett and 1 will get together in our home life and follow out these principles. Don’t understand me as meaning by purity that this refers to the body merely. It will be made to do wrvlce to the body, mind and soul. Hygienic teaching is included in that word purity. Christ In His teaching had no narrow idea of purity. We have In many way® limited that word in our application. 1 want to have its meaning broad ened. The country town ofTer* spe cial inducements for this People there have more leisure. They not distracted by so many things or condition®. Everything that we do will apply to the community What will make the country town Ideal? Why do we need to make people pure ? But pure Is no conventional sense. In other words, we Intended to give the widest meaning to this term. Evervthing that will improve the country town must come under this head of purity. With the practice that 1 hope to have there as a physician I shall aim to show my interest In every’ Indi vidual and in every movement for the betterment of the community. Then in our community life we shall discuss the teachings of Tolatoi It is the teachings of non-re sistance. This what I mean. Be peaceful. The kingdom of God upon earth consists, according to Tolstoi, that all men should be at peace with one another Never quarrel over the simplest thing. Peace among men is the greatest blessing that can exist upon this earth, and it Is within reach of all men. This is the true religion. It is the extinction of enmity among mankind. Emerson’s Teachings. Then we shall weave Emerson Into our discussion. Why Emerson? you 6av. Because he teaches us to talk. It is one of the hardest things to think. The essays of this philosopher will be used May this not explain the relation of Mr Dennett In our community, who shares so much along with us in thinking the right thoughts that will help along thi - project at East Al- stead ? Emerson thinks well. We want to think rightly. There 1« so much unwise thinking and miscon struction of one s plana. If you can look rightly upon certain movements you then have the gift of thinking We propose to learn how to think up in East Alstead. Mr. Dennett’s wife did not believe in his theories and obtained a di vorce. In a report made t<> the Su preme Court by Kred W. Dal linger, referee, to decide who should have the custody of the Dennett children. J Mr. Dallinger said: “Mrs. Chase wrote a letter to Mrs i Dennett, in which she said that ! neither her marriage vow® to Dr ; Chase nor Mrs. Dennett's to Mr Den- ; cett should be allowed to interfere with the free expression of the deep and sincere love existing between her- j •elf and Mr. Dennett *’ Father With Him During Ordeal Porter Charlton, voting American, who faros trial in Italy on charge of murdering his beautiful wife, is shown in charge of an Italian officer, and is again shown seated with member* of the crew, with whom he became friendly on the vo, i / • from America to the scene of his trial.

Sept. 6. Some thing of the cheerful indifference of Porter Charlton seems gone. The young American, awaiting trial on the charge that he killed his beauti ful wife shortly after their marriage three years ago. has grown nervous under the strain of the exacting third degree of the Italian police. More than once the delicate-seem ing youth has been on the verge of collapse when the police remorseless ly plied him with questions, and, in the sinister way that belongs to no one else but Italian police, sought to break his nerve. But only when his father entered his cell, a day or two ago. did any thing like an actual break of nerve occur. Then the young man threw himself on his father's breast and cried like a baby. The father. Judge Paul Charlton, was shaken also by the demonstration, but not to such an extent as was his son. Away from the police, however. Charlton seems to collect himself. He has made himself as comfortable as possible In his cell in St Domi nick prison, laying in a supply of his favorite tobacco, obtaining a book in Which he purposes to keep a diary, and devoting himself to the study of Italian His father has joined him in learning the language, that the two might easily follow the course of the trial. Fearful Ordeal Ahead. Charlton will be put on trial In No vember, until which time he will bo forced to undergo the fearful ordeal of an Itnlian police inquisition The refinement of cruelty, it is said, at tends this experience, and every pres sure is brought to bear on the pris oner, from the gantlet of a thou sand questions to solitary Imprison ment in dingy, filthy dungeons. M ny prisoners have been known !■> come raving maniacs under the system During all his three years > i con finement in a N* w Jersey jail Charl ton was building up his health by careful living and frequent exercise. He seemed all the time to be obsessed by the fear of the ordeal in Italy, al though none except the most careful observers could observe the dread. To every one else he was the cheer ful, nonchalant young fellow, who promised every one that he would be back borne by Christmas, and who made numerous engagements for that holiday season. The inquisition through which the police drag the young prisoner Is un doing the health work of three years, it seems. Charlton’s nerve is break ing under the ordeal. Charlton’s nerve broke once before. It will be remembered, when the night after he was arrested at Jersey City there came a written confession sign ed by him, that he had killed his wife after a bitter quarrel, in which her ungovernable temper had ren dered her practically a maniac. Aft er he beat her unconscious, he put her body in a trunk and sank it In Lake Como. Two Pleas Are Planned. The confession has not since been repudiated, and is considered to be genuine. What Charlton’s defense in j the Italian courts will be has not been fully established, although it is be- I lieved that his lawyers will plead both insanity and a reasonable Justifica tion. Since Charlton readied Italy, it has I been revealed that his wife was killed 1 by blows on the head Inflicted by a hammer and a statue representing , Lovt These Instruments, as well as i the trunk which held her body, will I be displayed to the prisoner at the ! trial. After the death of his wife In June. 1910, Charlton tied to the United States, but was arrested when his : steamer landed at Jersey City. For three years he remained In a New i Jersey jail, w hile every means at the i command of lawyers was put to use j to prevent his deportation and trial, even to an appeal to the United ! States Supreme Court. But every thing failed, and two weeks ago he , was taken to the Old World for trial There is no death sentence in Italy. ! but life imprisonment can be inflicted with mental tortures that make death j preferable, according to those that l know. the six pollee station® of the Ix>® An geles police department while a ser geant slowly raises the Star® and Stripes to the peak of a flagstaff above the building.

Rain or shine, summer or winter, the flags will be raised promptly at sunrise and lowered at sunset—the same as Is done at military posts. MINISTER ‘CANS’ BURIAL SERMON BY PH0N0RGAPH MINNEAPOLIS. Sopt 6.—The Rev. G. L. Morrell, a well-known Minne apolis minister, pastor of the People’s Church here, w hose place of worship is in a downtown theater, has started for a tour of South America and a trip around the Horn. Mr. Morrell's last act before his departure was to visit the store of a talking machine dealer, where he preached his own funeral sermon Into a machine, to be used in case of hi® death during his absence. Prenatal Care of Babies +•+ +•+ +e+ Restaurants Suggested as Aid +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ Diet of Mothers All-Important +•+ Mr*. J. S. Barnwell, Superintend ent of Home for Friendless, Points to Nations Need. Mr® J. B. Barnwell, ®ta perl n ten dent of the Home for the Friendless, at No. 226 Highland avenue, drawing example® of deficients among the homele®, “doorstep” children In the cars of the home, has pointed out that acute physical suffering, and mental and moral taint a® well, 1® the result of failure of mother® to I care for their children before birth This failure, she declared, come® from Ignorance or Indifference, usually from Ignorance. 'It Is appalling how little Is known ; among women of the vital fact® of life * and death and birth,” she said. And | yet girls In school! are taught for year after year trigonometry. Latin, and such thing® relatively valueless, In consideration of these greater facts.” The »uperlntendent was Inspired to the discussion by her study of the recent movement among wealthy women of Boston to establish “pre natal C£fe«,’’ where expectant mother® are taught the kind of foods they must eat. to prevent malnutrition of the children before birth. “The Idea Is splendid,” said the Atlanta woman. “Why should not I mother® care for their children be fore birth, with a view to their men tal. moral and physical well-being? If It were done everywhere then chil dren would not be brought Into the | world such as we see every dav, anemic, dull, dishonest. After birth It is too late to < it m thest evils They have been born wiih the children. Involves Future of Race. “The doctrine of prenatal inflnence 1® one of the most powerful sign® of the world’® development and pro- j gres®, I think. Prenatal care is a 1 matter vital to the whole of human- 1 Ity, for it involves the vigor of the J future race. “Establishments where mothers can j be taught these things, taught how i they may conduct themselves to bring i Into the world strong, healthy, capa ble children, will be of inestimable j value. How much suffering would I be ®aved the world if women only { knew' how to feed themselves to j avoid malnutrition of the child. “We here who are brought into I contact with the homeless, ‘doorstep’ i children, most of whom come Into the world unwelcomed, can realize the deficiencies that come with lack oi j care before birth. We see children ! with ineradicable moral tains, c.hil- j dren who are dull and slow-witted, children who are n emlc and who. if they live to maturity, live only to face * a life of ill-health and suffering. “After birth it Is too late to erad-1 lcate these evils. The harm is done ; then. And how easy It would have ; been, with proper consideration -»f such simple things as foods, pleas- j ant thoughts, profitable occupation j and study, to bring into the world, instead of the deficients, children strong, bright, moral.” The superintendent pointed exam ples of deficient children—usually, she showed, they were unwelcome chil dren, and indifference as to their wel fare had marked the period-before their birth. On the other hand, she talked of children of her acquaintance w'ho have grown into brilliance of mind and health of body because of care and training before birth. Prenatal Cafe® lndor*ed. The prenatal restaurants, which she indorsed without reserve, have been established in New’ York and Boston by wealthy women. The big idea of these institutions 1® to cheek malnutrition before birth. The cham pion of the plan is Miss Mabel Parker, known as the “Good Angel of the Ba bies* of New York.” Tt is her belief that the number of criminals will be greatly decreased when malnutrition before as well as after birth 1® less frequent. Miss Parker s theory is that dining at the prenatal restaurant the expectant mother, by eating the prop er kind of food. Is kept in prime health and is thus able to bear a robust chill. The first prenatal restaurant in this country was opened In New’ York by Miss Parker. It is reported that the “Anger’ was amazed by the rush of expectant mothers who applied to her for feeding. On the opening day there wa® not room for a tenth part of them. Immediately f»teps were taken to organize an association in New York to take over the w ork of the pre natal restaurant. College professor.*, settlement leaguers and many wealthy New York women are charter mem bers. In the beginning the plans for the restaurant involve a noon meal only at 5 cents a person. There will be broth, meat and vegetables. At least once a week the women will be in structed in what to eat, and lecturers will expound on other factors in the care of the children. Hopes for Cafe Chain. rt in the hope of Mis® Parker that her first prenatal restaurant will lead to the establishment of a chain through the country. Three of Miss Parker’s most ardent supporters in the Boston enterprise are Mr®. Robert H. Sayre, mother of Frank Sayre, the future husband of Je»®ie Wilson, the daughter of the President; Professor Thomas D. Wood, of Columbia Uni PRENATAL INFLUENCE IS SION OF PROGRESS It I® a pity to think of girl® being •tuffed full of trigonometry and Latin In oohools, and being l©ft ignorant of the essential thing® of life. Half the persons In the world ®re without knowledge or understand ing of the law® that govern and oontrol life and death. Such step® a® the doctrine of prenatal influence are indications that the world i® growing better. The care of children before they are born i® evon mor® important than their care afterward, saving them from possible physical, m®n- tal and moral taints which it i® difficult to eradicate later. We who can obs©rv the home less and the foundling child know how much harm and suff®ring can be wrought by ignorance and In difference of parents. 1 am not afraid to venture the prediction that progress!veness in these thing®—-in the establishment of institutions for publio educa tion in such matters, in general facilities for education—will be come universal.

All this Mrs. Barnwell in Atlanta views with hopeful eyes. “It is a sign that the world Is grow ing better,“ she said. ‘ I believe that this progress!veness In such matters will become universal, and that At lanta will not be long in taking steps for public instruction and training in these things.
