Bad Influence of Cheap Candy Shops
NlOW YOKK.?-Meeting halla, candy
shops, cheap theater*, moving pic
ture shows, dance hall* and academies,
and even afreet gangH, In their rela
tion to child life in New York was
one of the Huhjecta set forth graphical"
ly hy the Child Welfare Kxhlblt, given
ut the Heveuty-flrat Regiment armory.
In thifi section there la one saloon for
every 294 persona, with no playground
for the child.
Other exhibits wero the dangera of
child life In playing upon the streets,
'analysis of atreet dirt, and tho Inter-.,
ferlng powera of different city depart
rnentH in keeping tho streets clean apd
properly paved, accidents on the atreet
and street crime, allowing not only the
moral danger of the atreet, but the tin
happy fact that the chief. activities
the healthy hoy can and ahould engage
in are banned by law If practiced on
tie atreet, and subject the child, if he
cxprcM hla normal tendencies, to tho
risk of a debasing contact with tho
i criminal law.
The candy shop and its effects on
the young rapks in importance in the
work of this committee. In many con
f,ested districts the candy shops and
Ktur.ds far outnumber the saloons, in
(he exhibit a mode! of a typical candy
shoo, with ltn pout cards, dime novel*
and soda water, an well a? Its candy,
wns shown. Samples of candy hnve
been purchased and analysed by the
health department.
The development of tho moving pic*
ture show us a form of social ?/ter
tainment was also a part of the ex
hibit. There aro 250 of these shoe's In
Manhattan, which reach two million
people weekly, and at least a naif
million children. Their undesirable
ff.itures have been taken up by the
committee and suggestions made a? to
their Improvement. I-ow priced tb.ii>
ters, the vaudeville, builesque tind
melodrama and the cheap music V>*11
have been made a special study be
cause of tho number of children unie?
sixteen tha^ attend them; even the
high priced theaters have been investi
gated.
A very exhaustive study has neen
made of tho dance places, chief)/ in
Manhattan. Dancing academies In
Manhattan, the comm.ttee Bays. ore
teaching annually some one hundred
thoyfiaiid persons to dance, and of
t lie ho 4G per cent. ?re under sixteen
and 'JO per cent., under twenty one.
Thus practically tho entire populullon
between fourteen and twenty of the
clerical and working classes is taught
annually. These figures become dou
bly significant when it is known that
about half of the dancing acudemles
aro rated aa undesirable places for
young women.
rig's Testimony Wins Case-in Court
KANSAS CITY. KAN.?Qulndaro, a I
suburb of this city, hau a justice j
of the !>???<'? with nerve enough to re- j
verso his own decisions without wait-,
ing for some other court to do It for |
him. If was a ptg case in which Ju?
fle? performed this acrobatic;
j.iinriwl feat. The final session of tho
court \w?a hold in 'he feed lot of j
Il.riry Shaw, plaintiff, against whom
the cturt first decided, but for him i
at the !aM trial afur convincing te?tl- I
mctiy had been furnished by the \>i% 1
l-.i-of i
t'haw h u^ht .1 sjnall pig, supposed
: to h.' ur>.?i!y dead with "blind stag- 1

I
a small l.uie in tin? f?Mieo for the j.lg
to i .is.5 through into the adjoining j
c> w >ani and fed tho little invalid j
warm milk twice a day and he get i
well. A pan was rattled in the cow j
] yard to summons the pig when the i
pi lift was ready. The pig soon learned i
' the signal and responded on a run. j
I.ast lyne the pig, grown large and I
Finn?;, dtsapi eared. A few wnks ago j
c? the. fnrru of Miki Kvnii*. live tr.Kes
RW-uy, Shaw saw a big hog with pecu
liar spots on his leg that ho recognized
as belonging to the Kick pig of laM
spring, an<l he claimed him. Evans re
fused to give up the pig and suit w??
brought. The court decided in favor
of 10 vans.
Then Shaw asked a rehearing of the
case and proposed to take the hog into
his feeding lot, whore there was a
large number of other hogs. He pro
posed to go into the adjoining cow
yard and rattle a tin dlah. The owner
ship of the hog was to he decided on
whether it made a dash for the hole
In fence, far too small now to achnit
of Its passing through.
AM Qufndaro gathered arouud Shaw's
hog lot to see the trial. Justice Pfaff
took station where he could see the
whole show. The' pig was placed In
the let with the drove of hogs belong
ing t'i Shaw. wh,o then went into the
adjoining lut with a tin pan in his
hand.
At a signal from Justice Pfaff Shaw
rattled the tin pan. The pig let out a
couple of kinks in his tail and started
for the hole in the fenci on a run
It wr.s barely big enough for the hog
to Insert his nose, but he struggled to
g< t through and go to his old feediug
place In the cow yard. There was a
cheer from the crowd, even tho Evans
faction joining, and Justice Pfaff
promptly reversed his previous ruling
;.ud awarded the pig to Shaw.

Manlgo'.d's mind works with incredible
swiftness aid in one reennd he says
that his mind travel back over the
events of a Ion;? tlrr.e. When num

Numbers to him are Just a succor- |

above. Thus 2Sfi,f>3 4 is not two hun
dred and tigh'.y-six thousand five hun- i
dred and thirty-four, but simply 28, j
05, 34. Any number given him he
fir.-t mentally points o.t in groups, i
'?ommenctng at the right-hand side, I
but he works from the left-hand side j
in all operations. He adds six columns
of figures instantly. He uses only ad- !
ditlon and multiplication. To sub- j
tract he adds enough to the subtra- !
hentl to make it equal the minuend, I
rh'' amount, divided, being the re- j
n*.alr.cler. To divide he multiplies i
?he divisor by a succession of num
bers until he hits ui>on the product |
nearest the dividend, then the multl- j
p'ler with the remainder, is the quo
tient.
All expert mathematicians who have
examined Mr. Manigold agree that na
ture h?.s endowed him with an extra
tnknt. There have been a few in
stances of instantaneous calculators,
but they have not been very Intelli
gent persoMK. psychologists having ex
plained that they reached their re
sults by intuition, conscious of no
mental effort in doing so.
Mr. Manigold. however, performs
his wonderful leats with conscious
mental effort He is a man of edu

cessful teacher.

WOULD LIE AWAKE ALL NIGHT
WITH ITCHING ECZEMA
"Ever since I can remember I was
a terrible sufferer of eczcina and
other Irritating skin diseases. I would
lie awake all night, and u:y suffering
was Intolerable. A scaly humor set
tled on my back, and being but a
child, I naturally scratched it. It
was a burning, itching sensation, and
utterly intolerable, in fact, it was so
that I could not possibly forget about
it. It did not tako long before it
spread to my shoulders and arms, and
I was nlmost covered with a mass of
raw flesh on account of my scratching
it. 1 was In such a condition that my
hands were tied.
"A number of physicians were call
ed, but it seemed beyond their med
ical power and knowledge to cure
ir.e. Having tried numerous trcat'
inents without deriving any benefit
from .them, I had given myself up to
the mercy of my dreadful malady, but
I thought I would take tho Cuticura
treatment as a last resort. Words
cannot express my gratitude to the
one who created 'The Cuticura Mira
cles," as I have named them, lor now
II feci as if I never suffered from even
a pimple. My disease was routed by
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and I
shall never cease praising the wonder
ful merits they contain. 1 will never
be without them,-in fact, I can almost
dare any skin diseases to attack me
so long as I have Cuticura Remedies
in the house. I hope that this letter
will give other" sufferers an idea of
how I suffered, and also hope that
they will not pass the 'Cuticura Life
Saving Station.'" (Signed) C., Louis

"I had sick headache," writes Mrs. Margaret L. Pheral,
of Newburg, Ind.p "continuous hurting in my side; was
always tired, and, every month, had such pains I could
hardly stand. I was treated by the best doctors in our town,
for more than a year, without any help.
At last, 1 took Cardui, and it worked wonders. Before I
had taken one bottle, I felt better. Now, I feel better than
in two years, and owe it all to Cardui."
