About 200 Americans were present and the foreign countries represented were Great Britain, Belgium, France, Italy, Japan and Servia, It was an international conference on the most vital phase of conservation. Four main topics were considered—protection of the health of mothers and children, the economic and socigl basis of child welfare standards, child labor, and children in need of special care. Tentative standards were adopted cover- ing all of them. iAs outlined in an article in the Survey, they suggest the elaborateness with which scientific investigation has already gone into-these matters, formerly left largely to the supposed innate wisdom and devotion of parents; or simply neglected. &1 g Ay . The need of adequate medical nursing and educational at- tention for everyone concerneéd who is not reached by the fami_ly physician is stressed, and among the novel suggestions are chil- dren’s health clubs and the training and registration of house- hold attendants to care not only for sickness in the home but for the home during sickness. The “attendant” appears to have been inspired by the “home help,” provided for by the British maternity act of last year. . i There will be special interest in view of measures in several state to promote school hygiene and the health and physical development of school children, in the conference standards covering this branch of the problem. They are in general con- formity with one bill and include also insistence upon ade- quate playgrounds and recreational facilities. Supplementary standards for the protection of the adolescent child in school or out of school include complete standardized basic physical examination by physicians at least once a year, clinics, instruc- tion, recreational opportunities, legal protection from exploita- tion, vice, drug habits, etc., and compulsory education to at least 16 years of age, with vocational guidance and training. Children between 16 and 18 who have completed the eighth grade and are legally and regularly employed the con- ference believes should be required to attend day continuation schools; otherwise full-time schools. The standards proposed also include an age minimum of 16 years for employment, ex- cept that children between 14 and 16 bé empldyed in- agricul- ture and domestic service during vacation periods; a minimum of 18 for employment in and about mines and quarries, of 21 _ for night messenger service and of 21 for girls employed as messengers. Employment of minors in hazardous occupations is prohibited in the plan; physical fitness for work is required to be established by periodical examination, a maximum eight- hour day is set, with a minimum wage not lower than the “necessary cost of proper living,” and a central agency to deal with all juvenile employment problems is included. In reaching these tentative standards the conference, as Miss Lathrop, director of the bureau, explained, aimed only at the irreducible minimum;” yet the result will seem to many an extraordinary program of interference with private right. The raising and equipping of a great army have, on the other hand, doubtlessly effectually introduced to wide public consideration the necessity of individual fitness for performing public duty, and’the failure of unregulated individual initiative to meet the need. What applied to the great crisis of war applies equally to the continuous life of peace. The opportunity is greater, for the standards promoted by this series of conferences apply to the determining period of children and youth. More than one speaker at the Washington meeting dwelt on_the relation of cost of living and income to the problem of child }velfitre. one delegate noting that a recent study in Phila- delphla' spowed a vast discrepancy between the estimated cost of providing for a child between birth and 16 years of age and what is -actually added to the budgets of families on the sub- sistence level having children within those ages. The differ- ence represents either a deficit in-necessaries for the children or big sacrifices by the parents, or both. Social welfare analyses all tend to bring to the front this question of subsistence, which lies at the.root of the whole social problem. As one. speaker _expressed it, as reported in the Survey, “Now that people know that civilization can furnish an adequate income to all, it is only a question of whether we are going to attain that end through i orderly social progress or force it to come through violence. ” mount-Mack Sennett production at the Elko theatre tonight and tomor- row.

In the role of Mary MacTavish, ' Miss Pickford is said to have developed new heights of histrionic prefection. She is lovable, delightful and tremendously effective in the character it is said. Perhaps the best known film come- dians’ are identified with the Para- mount-Mack Sennett comedy pro- ductions. , Three of the celebrated . stars: of this great organization— Louise Fazenda, Chester Conklin and Phyllis Haver, will be seen in “The Village Smithy,” the Ilatest Para- Ozarks has been filmatized under the direction of Harold Bell Wright its author, and will be shown at the Rex today and tomorrow.

MADGE KENNEDY: STARS IN “LEAVE IT TO SUSAN” A chuckle every second and a laugh a minute is the guaranteed speed record of ‘‘Leave It To Susan,” Madge Kenpedy's new Goldwyn pic- ture, which comes to the Grand thea- tre tonight only. She is the daughter of a mining capitalist who is taking her on a Western trip with him, accompanied by her mother and a ridiculous suit- or. Unknown to anyone aboard but the father, is a young mining en- gineer, Jimmy Dawson. The inevit- able hot box occurs on the long trip across the American désert and Susan takes the opportunity to give her dog an airing. They are left behind and after long hours Susan finds herself Jimmy Dawson turns up .there, too, and dons rough garb. In this guise Susan sees him for the first time and is sure that he is a hold-up man. Her suspicions "are confirmed when the real desperadoes appear and Jimmy pretends he is one of them. - Thanks to the code he is able to apprise Su- san’s father of his daughter’s danger and eventually she is réscued. What happens afterward {s ‘the. big sur- prise. . 5 WHM. S; HART SUNDAY.

Hart, the famous Thomas H. Ince Artcraft film star. In this picture Mr. Hart is of the West, Western, and-.the living embodinfent of those remarkable’ characters by whom the west was re- claimed. The .theme of = “Selfish Yates” is one of selfishness. In this play Mr: Hart affords his admirers an example of his best work, which is improving vastly with each new characterization he essays) The story was written by C. Gardner Sullivan and the picture -was produced by Mr. Hart himself under the supervision of Thomas H. Ince. Jane Novak is his leading woman and she has a role that brings out Mr. Hart’s persona- tion in strong- and satisfying con- trast. ‘‘Selfish Yates”” will be shown at the Grand theatre Sunday only. A.

ProF. HEM- METER 8ays: “The liver is an organ gecondary in impertance only to the hears.” We '‘can manufac- tare poisons within our own dies which' are as-dengdly ‘as' & snake’s ‘venom. The liver acts as a guard-over our well-being, sifting out the cinders and sshes from the general cm:nl‘a'.ion. A blockake in the intestines piles 8 heavy burden upon the liver. If the intestines are choked or clogged up, the circulation of the blood becomes poisoned and ' the system becomes loaded with toxic waste, and we suffer from headache, yel- low-coated tongue, bad taste in mouth, nausea, or gas, acid dy‘sF pepsia, languor, debility, yellow skin or eyes. At such times one should take castor oil or a' pleasant laxa- tive.

DRY CLEANING Clothes Cleaners for Men, Women and Children . T % S CHIROPRACTORS * THE CAUSE OF DISEASE Modern science, which is always studying cause and effect, has demonstrated that disease in adults and improper development and sickness in children are the results of faulty nerve action due to spinal defects. The bones of the spine press on the nerves and inter- fere with the distribution of energy throughout the body. . A correction of these defects restores unin- terupted nerve force and invariably results in the re- turn of health. CHIROPRACTIC (KI-RO-PRAK-TIK) is the science that has demonstrated this connection between disease and defective spines. For years, and in the face of bitter criticism and strong opposition, Chiropractors have been adjusting the defects in spines to remove the cause of disease. Wonderful results have been obtained, even in cases that were considered in- curable. Everywhere there are people who have been greatly helped by ICHIROPRACTIC BL_THE BETTER WAY TO HEAITH 1 Those who are not in health, who are not strong and well; who are nervous, fagged out; and who feel they need to be recharged with vital energy, will no doubt find relief thru spinal adjustments. You owe it to yourself, your family and your friends to investigate Chiropractic. e Drs. Lunde & Danmenberg BEMIDJI oge _ Telephone 401.-W ¥ i} Y e A t 7 § 4 PR N
