B« pure according to the teachings ©* Christ. Ba peaceful according to the teach- inps of Tolstoi. Be thoughtful according to the teachings of Emerson. BOSTON. Sept. fi.—Thrar are thf three cardinal principle* that Induced I>r. H. Lincoln Chiioe, a Brookline physician for 30 years, to give up hit lucrative practice and remove to Hast Alstead. N. H where he intends to establish a community life with kin dred sou!s and will prove that Hie above principles can be lived and make for happiness Associated with him are hla wife, Mrs Margaret Chase, and Hartley Dennett, commonly known her soul mate. Already Mr I>ennett and Mrs Chase are located there, where they ere preparing to receive the doctor as soon as he can conveniently leave Brookline after eelling hlR attractive home, No. 22 Kennard road. Dr. Chase Is an authority on the training of children, and will give the remjlts 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, no far as he can. hii* 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 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 22 yea/i. He was tne first to intro 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 nf a project which may spread to other towns. Anyway, Dr. Cha9*‘ hop^s to interest other village* In his cardinal principles. Throe Cardinal Principles. Dr. Chase said: The three cardinal principles that will be emphasized there are purity peacefulness and thoughtfulness. M> wife, Mrs. Margaret K. Chase. Hart ley Dennett and I will get together In j our home life and follow' out these principles. Don't understand me nR meaning by purity that this refer* to the body merely. It will be made to do service 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 mrfny ways limited that word In our application. I want to have its meaning broad ened. The country town offer* *M‘e- cial inducements for this People there have more leisure. They are not distracted by so many things or conditions Everything that we do w ill apply to the community W hat will make t^e country town Ideal. Why do we need to make people pure Blit pure la no conventional nense In other words, we intended to give the widest meaning to this term Everything that will Improve the country town must come under this head of purity. With the practice that I hope to have there as a physician 1 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 Tolstoi. It is the teachings of non-re sistance. This Is what I mean, no peaceful. The kingdom of Hod 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 *av. 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- atead? 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 uj>on certain movements you then have the gift of thinking. We propose to learn how to think up in Blast 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. Air. Dallinger said: "Mrs. Chase wrote a letter to Mrs Dennett, in which she said that neither her marriage vow g to Dr Chase nor Mrs. Dennett’s to Mr Den- net* should be allowed to Interfere with the free expression of the deep nn«i sincere love existing between her- «elf and Mr Dennett.” WIFE.

WIMEM IS FIBERS Agricultural Bureau Demonstra tors Teach Dairymen How to Improve Product. WASHTXOTOK, *■—Th. D«- partment of Agriculture has turned the following statement outlining Ito policy in dealing with the milk situ ation: "It is erroneously supposed the de partment has established absolute standards and bacterial counts to which all milk coming under its Ju risdiction in interstate commerce must comply. "It has not and will not establish any rule declaring that milk contain ing less than a certain number of bac teria per cubic centimeter Is goad milk. "The department is carrying on an extensive campaign of education to help dairymen produce and market good, glean milk. Its work Is pure’y educational. The dairy division Issues educational bulletins, supplies farmers with these bulletins, and also sends men into the. field to show* milk pro ducers how to make changes within their means which will ra’se the quality of their milk and uIbo in crease their profits. "These demonstrators have helped milk producers who supply over 200 cities. In each city these demon strators co-operated with the local health authorities, not to help them to secure evidence or bring prosecutions, but to improve the local system. "Where desired, they explain meth ods of pasteurization and shipping and handling of milk. Through this bureau the department supplies tu berculin for testing herds. "The Government’s first investiga tion into interstate shipments of milk was in 1908, around Cincinnati, before that city had a milk inspec tion department. "The records of Infant mortality In Cincinnati from 1909 to the present time show a decrease of about 33 per cent." Police Adopt Army Flag Raising Custom National Standard Will 0e Raised at Sunrise and Lowered at Sunset. LOS ANGELES. Sept. 6.—Promptly at sunrise each morning a squad of officers stands at attention at each of Young American l inlcrgoes Third Degree Pre paratory to Being Put on Trial in November. Special Cable to The American. COMO, ITALY, Sept, tv 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, u 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 u 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 tend - 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 Ins three years of con finement in a New Jersey jell Charl ton was building up his health by careful living and frequent exercise. He s aimed 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 w<is the cheer ful. nonchalant young fellow, who premised every one that he would be back home by Christinas, 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 bo 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- «*r he beat her unconscious, he put her body in a trunk and sank it in Lake Como. T wo Pleas Are Planned. The confession - has not since been repudiated, and Is considered to be J genuine What Charlton’s defense in j the Italian courts will be has not been j 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 his 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 j 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 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, j hut life imprisonment can he inflicted I with mental tortures that make death preferable, according to those that ' know. the six police stations of the Los An geles 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-flay-is-flag-day” Idea is that of Chief Sebastian. He put the Idea into reality several days ago when he ordered six big American flags and six 26-foot poles. 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 1 BURIAL SERMON BY PH0N0RGAPH MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 6—The Rev. G. L. Morrell, a well-known Minne apolis minister, pastor of the People's church here, 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 his departure was to visit the store of a talking machine dealer, where he preached his own funeral jsermon into a machine, to be used in case of his death during his absence. Prenatal Care of Babies +•+ +•+ •J***!* Restaurants Suggested as Aid +•+ +•+ +•+ +•* + Diet of Mothers All-Important Mrs. J. S. Barnwell, Superintend ent of Home for Friendless, Points to Nation’s Need. Mrs. J. R. Barnwell, am perl n ten dent of the Home for the Friendless, at No. 226 Highland avenue, drawing examples of deficients among the homelm, "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 farts of life and death and birth,’’ she said. "And yet girls 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 Boston 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 cur* these evils. They have beeh born with the children. Involves Future of Race. "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 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 un welcomed, can realize the deficiencies that come with lack oi 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 done 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 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 Cafes 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 hpr 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 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 Y'ork by Miss Parker. It is reported that the "Angel" was amazed bv 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 -‘soclation in New York to take over the work of the pre natal restaurant. College proft settlement leaguers and many wealth} New York women are charter mejn- 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. Tt 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 H. Sayre, mother of Frank Sayre, the future husband of Jessie Wilson, the daughter of the President; Professor Thomas D. Wood, of Columbia Uni- PRENATAL INFLUENCE IS SIGN OF PROGRESS It la a pity to think of girl* being stuffed full of trigonometry and Latin in schools, and being l©ft Ignorant of the essential things of life. Half the porsona in the world are without knowledge or understand ing of the laws that govern and control life and death. Such steps ae the doctrine of prenatal influence are indications that the world i» growing bettor. 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 chijd 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 Tells Court Pitiful Story of How versity, and Mrs. Julia Heath, presi dent of the Housewives’ Leagues, of which Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is hon orary president. All this Mrs. Barnwell in Atlanta views with hopeful ej'es. "It Is a sign that the world is grow ing better.” she said. "J 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." Grocers Tell Clubs To Mind Own Affairs Pure Food Advocates Advised to Stay at Home and Nurse Children. Land in Alberta and Is Buy ing More.
