two young daredevils undertook to put

Prenatal and child welfare work,
!s'st
systematically carried on, brings sat-
isfactory results: There has just.
cometo hand a report presented by
Mr. John G. Gebhard of the New
York Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor, on the work of
`the association at its Mulberry Bend
• Health Centre. Nothing so elaborate
has as yet been attempted in this pro-
vince, but the following account of
the results of a five years' demonstra-
tion,; shows what can be accomplished
anywhere by persistent and consist-
ent efforts:
"In a congested Italian district with
a population of 35,000, for the last
three years 80 per cent. of - all the
new births -have had the benefit of
the Health Centre Service.
In those cases where the mothers
have received prenatal and one month
of postnatal care, miscarriage and
deaths under- one-month have been re-
duced from the average rate (three
years period) of 31.7 per thousand
births to 24.8.
-Sixty per cent. of the children now
examined are of the pre-school' chil-
dren studied, bad food habits were re-
duced, from an average of 5.5 to 1.8
per child, and bad health habits were
reduced from 3.2 to 1.2' per child.
This, Mr. Gebhard points out, is much
more convincing evidence of the value
of the educational twork with the •chil-
dren than is the record of the actual
gains in weight over and above the
expected gains. .The demand` for milk
from one dealer alone in the district
increased 81 per cent:
A careful study of the defects am-
ong children of preschool age showed
a high incidence of 'rickets among ba-
bies. This resulted in a campaign for
the prevention of rickets in babies,
which is being carried on by the City
Health Department in co-operation
with the Association and which prom-
ises to be most effective.
The percentage of school children
needing no dental work has increased
in three years from 10.7 to 36.0; and
the percentage of those who, in the
judgment of the supervising dentist,
give evidence of having kept their
mouths clean has increased 100 per
cent.
The _ service of the Health Centre
has included a study of the vital sta-
tistics of the district for a five-year
period, and this has shown the Asso-
ciation definite lines of health work
needed" among its people. This in-
cludes work for a reduction of the
alarming mortality from pneumonia
among the children and from tuber-
culosis• among the adults.

For this puzzle, two lead pens

dollar are used. The playing card.
is placed on the unsharpened end
of one of the pencils, On the card,
;directly over the end of the pencil,
the half dollar is placed. The
problem is to remove the playing

The first part of the trick Is to
.place the coin so that It will stay
In position after the card le re-
moved. That is not very difficult.
To remove the card strlke the
edge of the card with the other
pencil so that it will fly away. 11
the card is struck a straight blow,
it will slip from under the coin
and the trick will be accomplished.

taste much better in the cup than a
