BOSTON. Sept. 6.—These are th*
three cardinal principles that Induced
Dr. IT. Lincoln Chase, a Brookline
physician for 30 year* to Rive up his
lucrative practice and remove to East
A latead, 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 happine#*.
Associated with him arc his wife.
Mrs Margaret Chase. and Hartley
Dennett, commonly known aw her soul
mate. Already Mr. Dennett and Mrs
Chase are located there, where thoy
are preparing to receive the doctor as
aoon as he can conveniently leave
Brookline after selling hla attractive
home. No. 22 Kennard road.
Dr. Chase Is an authority on the
training of children, and will give the
resuits 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, as far as
he can, his practical Ideas of what
make* an IdeaJ neighborhood.
The presence of Mr. Dennett In his
home has caused some comment, but
they share with each other the same
views about life and both teach them
by example and precept.
Dr. Chase has been identified with
the Board of Health of Brookline for j
22 years. He was me first to Intro- j
duce physical training among the
school children, and was head of
many improvements In 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. Chaw hopes to
Interest other villages in his cardinal
principles.
Thrae Cardinal Principles.
Dr. Chase said.
The three cardinal principles that .
will he emphasised there ara purity,
peacefulness and thoughtfulness. My
vi if**, vir.-*. Margaret E. Chase Hart- (
ley Dennett and I will get together in
our home life and follow’ out these j
principles.
Don’t understand me as meaning
bv purity that this refers to the body
merely. It will be mads to do service
to the bodv. mind and soul. Hygienic
teach lug is Included In that word
puritv Christ In His teaching had no
narrow Idea of purity. Wo have In
many ways limited that word in our
application.
T want to have Its meaning broad
ened. The country town offers spe
cial inducement a for this People
there have more leisure. They are
not distracted by bo many tilings or
conditions Everything that we
will applv to the community * hat
will make the country town ideal.
Why do we need to make people pure
But pure Is no conventional v«ni*e
In other words, we Intended to give
the widest meaning to this term
Everything 'hat will Improve the
country town must come under this
head of purity. A .
With the practice that T hope to
have there as a physician I shall aim
to ahow 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
Tolstoi. It Is the teaching* of non-re
sistance. This is wtiat 1 mean. Be
peaceful The kingdom of Cod upon
eaxth consists, according to Tolstoi,
that all men should be at peace with
one another Never quarrel over the i
simplest thing Peace among men Is I
the greatest blessing that can exist
upon this earth, and it Is within reach
of all men. This Is the true religion,
ft is the extinction of enmity among
mankind.
Emerson’s Teachings.
Then we shall weave Emerson Into
our discussion. Why Emerson? you
say. Because he teaches us to talk. J
It is one of the hardest things to j
think.
The essay* of this philosopher will
be used
May this not explain the relation of
Mr Dennett in our community, who
• hares so much along with us In
thinking the right thoughts that will
help along this project at East Al-
■ tead? Emerson thinks well. We
want to think rightly. There is so
much unwise thinking and miscon
struction of one's plans. If you can
look rightly upon certain movements
> ou then have the gift of thinking
We propose to learn how to think 1
up in East Alsteftd
Mr. Dennett's wife did not believe I
in his theories and obtained a di- I
vorce. In a report inane to the Su
preme Court by Fred W. Dalllngsr,
referee, to decide who should have |
the custody of the Dennett children. ;
Mr. Dallinger said
“Mrs. Chase wrote a letter to Mrs
Dennett, in which she said that
neither her marriage vow a to Dr.
Chase nor Mrs. Den net t'# to Mr. Den

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 6.—Promptly
at sunrise each morning a squad of
officers stands at attention at each of
Spaclal Cahift to The American.
COMO, ITALY. Sept. f> 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 piled 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 «n 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 waa his son.
Away from the police. however.
Charlton seems t<> 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 be
forced to undergo the fearful ordeal
of an Italian 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. Many
prisoners have been known become
raving maniacs under the system.
During all his three years of con
finement in a New Jersey Jail Churl-
ton was building up his health by
careful living and frequent exercise
ku. aaacied all the time to be obsessed
by the fear of the ordeal in Italy, al
though none except the moat careful
observers could observe the dread.
To every one else he was tin* cheer
ful. nonchalant young fellow, who
the six police stations of the Los An-
gales police department while a ser
geant slowly raises the Stars and
Stripes to the peak of a flagstaff
above the building. At sunset the
flag is lowered with the same cere
mony.
The "every-day-is-flag-day” Ideals
that of Chief Sebastian. He put the
Idea into reality several days ago
when he ordered six big American
Hags and six 26-foot poles.
Rain or shine, summer or winter,
promised every on*' that he would be I the f^igs will he raised promptly at
back home by Christmas, and whe
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
luike Como.
Two Pl®«« Are Planned.
The confession has not since been
repudiated, and is considered to be
genuine. What Charlton’s defense in
the Italian courts will be has not been
fully established, although It is be
lieved that his lawyers will plead both
insanity and a reasonable justifica
tion.
Since Charlton reached Italy, It has
been revealed that hls wife was killed
by Iv.nvs on the head inflicted by a
hammer and a statue representing
Love These Instruments, as well as
the trunk which held her body, will
b* displayed to the prisoner at the
trial.
After the death of his wife In June.
1910, Charlton fled to the United
States, but was arrested when his
steamer landed at Jersey City For
three years he remained in a New
Jersey Jail, while every means at the
command of lawyers was put to use
to prevent his deportation and trial.
‘ v *’n 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
wit’ mental tortures that make death
preferable, according to those that
know.

MINISTER ‘CANS’ BURIAL
SERMON BY PH0N0RGARH
MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. G—The Rev.
G. L. Morrell, a well-known Minne
apolis minister, pastor of the People’s
Church her®, whose 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 a.'t before hls

death during hls absence.
ent of Home for Friendless,
Points to Nation’s Need.
Mrs. J. s. Barnwell, superintendent j
of the Home for the Friendless, at
No. 226 Highland avenue, drawing
examples of deficients among
homely, "doorstep” children In
care of the home, has pointed
that acute physical suffering,
mental and moral taint as well,
the
the
out
*nd
is
the result of failure of mothers to
care for their children before birth
This failure, she declared, cornea from
ignorance or indifference, usually
from ignorance.
"It is appalling how little is known
among women of the vital facts of life
and death and birth.” she Raid. "And
yet girls in schools are taught for
year after year trigonometry. Latin,
and such things relatively valueless,
1n consideration of the se grea»« r
facts."
The superintendent was inspired
to the discussion by her study of
the recent movement among wealthy
women of Boston to establish "pre
natal cafes," where expectant mothe rs
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
mothers 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 lata to eur # these evils They
have been born with the children.
Involves Future of Raco.
"The doctrine of prenatal influence
Is one of the most powerful signs of
the world’s development and pro
grams i think. Prenatal '-are is a
matter vital to the whole of human
ity, for it Involves the vigor of the
future race. ^
"Establishments where mothers can
be taught these things, taught how
they may’ conduct themselves to bring
into the world strong, healthy, capa
ble children, will be of Inestimable
value. How much suffering would
be saved the world If women only
knew' how to feed themselves to
avoid malnutrition of the child.
"We here who are brought Into
contact with the homeless, ‘doorstep’
children, most of whom come into the
world unwelromed, can realize the
deficiencies that come with lack or
care before birth. We see children
with ineradicable moral tains, chil
dren who are dull and slow-witted,
children who are a emic and who. if
they live to maturity, live only lo face
a life of ill-health and suffering.
"After birth it is too late to» erad
icate these evils. The harm is done
then. And how easy it would have
been, with proper consideration >f
such simple things as foods, pleas
ant thoughts, profitable occupation
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 tp their wel
fare had marked the period before
their birth. On the other hand, she
talked of children of her acquaintance
who have grown into brilliance of
mind and health of body because of
care and training before birth.
Prenatal Indorsed.
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 is to check
malnul ritior. before birth. The cham
pion of the plan is Miss Mabel Parker,
known as the "Good Angel of the Ba
bies of New York." It is her belief
that the number of criminals will be
greatly decreased when malnutrition
before as well as after birth Is less
frequent. Miss Parker s theory is that
dining at the prenatal restaurant the
expectant mother, by eating the provi-
er kind of food, is kept in prime health
and is thus able to bear a robust child.
The first prenatal restaurant In
this country was opened in New York
by Miss Parker. It Is reported that
tiW "Angel” was amazed by' the rush
of expectant mothers who applied to
her for fet ling. On the opening day
there was not room for a tenth pari of
them. Immediately steps were taken
to organize an ■ssociation in New
York to take over the work of the pre
natal restaurant. College professors,
settlement leaguers and many' wealthy
Mew York women are charter num
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.
It is the hope of Miss Parker that
her first prenatal restaurant will lead
to the establishment of a chain
through the country. Three of Miss
Parker’9 most ardent supporters in
the Boston enterprise are Mrs. Robert
H. Sayre, mother of Frank Sayre, tho
future husband of Jessie Wilson, the
daughter of the President. Professor
Thomas D. Wood, of Columbia Uni-
PRENATAL INFLUENCE
IS SIGN OF PROGRESS
It is a pity to think of girls being
stuffed full of trigonometry and
Latin in schools, and being left
ignorant of the essential things of
life.
Half the persons in the world are
without knowledge or understand
ing of the laws that govern and
control life and death.
Such steps as the doctrine of
prenatal influence are indications
that the world is growing better.
The care of children before they
are born is even more important
than their care afterward, saving
them from possible physical, men
tal and moral taints which it is
difficult to eradicate later.
We who can observ the home
less and the foundling child know
how much harm and suffering can
be wrought by ignorance and in
difference of parents.
I am not afraid to venture the
prediction that progressiveness in
these things—in the establishment
of institutions for public educa
tion in such matters, in general
facilities for education—will be
come universal.
Church Owns Large Tracts of
Land in Alberta and Is Buy

CALGARY. ALBERTA. Sept
That the Mormon Church heirarehy in
Salt Lake City practically has decid
ed to abandon Its Mexican coloniza
tion scheme and devote all of its out

its lands and settlements in southern
I Alberta, was the announcement made
semi-officially at Cardston. south of

I built at Cardston, and the first to be
I erected outside of Salt Lake.
I President Smith made no secret of
the fact that the church of the. Latter
I Day Saints had great development
plans for the country south of Cal
gary. The church owns hundreds of
thousands of acres of lands in this
territory, and is prepared to add to its
holdings as often as it can, no matter
what price has to be paid.
President Smith also indicated that
the churchvwould make an attempt to
buy out the Blood Indians, who own
a large reserve in the Mormon terri
tory. He said ho did not care what
the Indians wanted for their lands.

dent of the Housewives' Leagues, of
which Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is hon
orary president.
All this Mrs. Barnwell In Atlanta
views with hopeful eyes.
"It is a sign that the world 1® grow
ing better,” she said. "I believe that
this progressiveness 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. It is a great opportunity
for local philanthropists."
