With the practice thnt T hope to have there as a phvsh'lsn 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 shail discus* the teachings of Tolstoi. It is the teachings of non-re sistance. This is what 1 mean. Re 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 say. 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 this project at East A1 stead? Emerson thinks well. We want to think rightly. There is so much unwise thinking and miscon struction of one's plan*. 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 to the Su preme Court by Fred W. Dalllnger, referee, to decide who should have the custody of the Dennett children. Mr. Daliinger said. “Mrs. Chase wrote a letter to Mrs Dennett, In which she said that neither her marriage vows to Dr. Chase nor Mrs. Dennett’s to Mr Den nett should be allowed to Interfere with the free expression of the deep and sincere love existing between her self and Mr. Dennett."

Be peaceful according to the teach ing? of Tolstoi. Be thoughtful according to the teachings of Emerson. BOSTON. Sept. 6.—These are thf three cardinal principles that Induced Dr. H. Lincoln Chaar, a Bconkllna physician for 30 jeara to give up ills lucrative practice and remove to Has' Alatead. N. H., where he intend* 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 arc his wife. Mra Margaret <*hase, and Hartley Dennett, commonly known an her soul mate Already Mr. Dennett and Mrs. Chase are located there, where they are preparing to receive the doctor ua soon as he can conveniently leave Brookline after selling 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 a people. He will bo also in every civic improvement of the vil lage. and will atm to carry, a* far as he can. his practical ideas of w hat makes an Ideal neighborhood. The presence of Mr Dennett in his home ha# caused some comment, but they share with each other the same views about life and both teach them by example and precept. Dr. Chase lias been identified with the Board of Health of Crookline for 32 years. He whi me first to intro duce physical training among (he school children, and was head of many Improvements In the town, where the best part of his life lias been spent. The community life that will be established may be the beginning of a project which may spread to other towns. Anyway, Dr Chase hopes to Interest other villages in his cardinal principles These Cardinal Prlnciploa. Dr. Chase said: The three cardinal principles that will be emphasised there are purity, peacefulness and thoughtfulness. My wife, Mrs. Margaret E. Clints- Hart ley Dennett and I will get together In our home life and follow out these j principles. Don't understand me as meaning by purity that tills refers to tile body merely. It will bo mode to do oervloe to the body, mind and soul. Hygienic teaching is included in that word purity. Christ in His teaching had no narrow idea of purity. V- c have in many wain* limited that w*ord in our application. I want to have its meaning broad ened. The country town offers spe cial inducements for this. People there have more leisure. They are not distracted by bo many things or conditions Everything that we do will apply to the community. W hat will make the country town ideal'. Why do we need to make people pure ' But pure Is no conventional aenae. in other wordo. we Intended to give widest meaning to this term Porter Charlton, young American, who facet) trial in Italy on charge of murdering his beautiful wife, is shown in charge of an Italian officer, and is again shown seated with members of the crew, with whom he became friendly on the vn\ ■< tr • 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 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 an actual break of nerve occur Then the young man threw himself on hiH 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 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 hear 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.

To every one else he was the cheer ful. nonchalant young fellow, who promised every one that he would bo hack home 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. thnt he had killed his wife after a bitter quarrel, in which her ungovernable temper had dered her practically a mania the six police stations of the Los An geles polioe department while a ser geant slowly raises the Stars and Stripe* to the peak of a flagstaff above the building At sunset the tlag Is lowered with the same cere mony.

What Charlton s defense In the Italian courts will be has not been fully established, although It is be lieved that hls lawyers will plead both insanity and a reasonable justifica tion. Since Charlton reached Italy, it has been revealed that hls wife was killed by blows on the head inflicted by a hammer and a statue representing Love. These Instruments, as well as the trunk which held her body, will be displayed to the prisoner at the trial. After the death of hls 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, 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 he inflicted Mrs. J S Barnwell, superintendent of the Home for the Frir-ndless, at No. 228 Highland avenue, drawing examples of deficients among the homelss, "doorstep” children In the care of the home, has pointed out that acute physical suffering, and mental and moral taint as well, is the result of failure of mothers to care for their children before birth. This failure, she declared, comes 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 said. "And yet girls in schools are taught for year after year trigonometry. Latin, and such things relatively valueless, in consideration of these greater facts." The superintendent was Inspired to the discussion by her study of the recent movement among wealthy women of Boeton to establish "pre natal cafes," where expectant mothers 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 late to#cu»* 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 gress. I think. Prenatal care Is a ma. tt^r vital to the whole of human ity, for it involves the vigor of ihe 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 unwelcomed, 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 to face a life of ill-health and suffering. "After birth it is too late to erad icate these evils. The harm is don-3 then. And how easy it would have been, with proper consideration of 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 to their wel fare had marked the period before their birth. On th»* 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 Cafe* 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 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." It Is her belief that the number of criminals will be greatly decreased when malnutrition before ns well as after birth 1b 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 child. The first prenatal restaurant In this country was opened In New York by Miss Parker. It is reported that the "Angel" was amazed by the rush of expectant mothers who applied to her for feeding. On the opening day there was not room for a tenth part 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 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. 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’s most ardent supporters in the Boston enterprise are Mrs. Robert ll. Sayre, mother of Frank Sayre, tha 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 I ©ft ignorant of the essential things of life. Half the parsons 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 taint* 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. varsity, and Mrs. Julia Heath, presi dent of the Housewives’ Leagues, of which Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is hon orary president. All this Mra. Barnwell in Atlanta views with hopeful eyes. "It is a sign that the world is grow ing better," she said. "I believe that this progreasivenes.s 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.” Grocers Tell Clubs To Mind Own Affairs Pure Food Advocates Advised to Stay at Home and Nurse Children.

ALBERTA, Sept. 6.— That the Mormon Church heirarchy in Salt Lake City practically has decid ed to abandon Its Mexican coloniza tion scheme and devote all of its out side energies to the development of its lands and settlements In southern Alberta, was the announcement made semi-offlclally at Cardston. south of Calgary, last week, on the occasion of the visit of Joseph F. Smith, of Utah, head of the church. Mr. Smith came to Alberta to dedi cate the site of the new temple to be built at Cardston. and the first to be erected outside of Salt Lake. President Smith made no secret of the fact that the church of the Latter 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 church would make an attempt to buy out the Blood Indians, who own a largo reserve in the Mormon terri tory. He said he did not care what the Indians wanted for their lands.
