from malnutrition. They also esti
mate that three out of every four ch K
dren In this country are sufferiag
from some physical defect. Under
Lourish^d children have a nvirh Ot
ter per cent of defects than the well
nourished. For instance, in an
amination of 8,000 school ' children,
there was not a case of luberculosis
among the well-nourished. Out of
those suffering from malnutrition,
three out of every one hundred had
tuberculosis.
If women wish to protect their chil
dren from disease they Bhould study
food values. We used to think that
malnutrition came only from the honi
es of poverty, but many children go
to wellfllled tables, but do not select
the right kind of food.
A survey was made recently In Chi
rago to determine the health of chil
dren. It waa thought that the larg

MELLYLLLE'S COMEDIANS
Aeke next week
The first performance of Mellville's I
Comedians pleased more than two
thousand people last night in the big '
ten thousand dollar tent on the high <
school campus. Between 500 and
1000 others were turned away because
the management feared that the tent
would be overcrowded.
The title of the play was "Broken
Hearts," and that it pleased the au
dience very much was proven by the
hearty -applause that greeted every
act. Bert Mellville, comedian, was
the hit of the evening, but Miss Lil
lian De Armond and Joe Hagperty,
and others of the company, also re
ceived hearty approval. The compa
ny as a whole was good, and is the
best that has ever shown in tne city.
There were a variety of acts dis
playing comedians, musicians and ac

the play by the company of thirty is
the"headliner at each perfprmanee.

KEARNEY WINS OVER
BODDIE BY NEARLY 600
Only Two Old Commissioners
Elected?New Board to Be
Composed of Wilder, Joy
f ner, Hudson, Timberlake
And Fuller?Parrish Drops
Out at Last Minute.
Possibly one of tbe most interest
ing primaries ever held in Franklin
County came to a close on Saturday
night with one of the largest votes re
corded in the history of the County.
There were several contests involved.
In the beginning the Democratic par
ty was assailed by former Senator W.
M. Person who was contesting to
succeed himself in tbe State Senate,
while he was opposed by Mr. Frank
B. McKlnne, who was upholding and
endorsing the party and joining with
it in the promise that the people
should have equal justice in both val
uations and taxes: nr "this contest
McKinne _won_ out over Person
with a majority ot 257, through which
the people of the County have again
asserted their confidence tn the party "
that has done so much for them. How
ever, had it not been tor the jolt
jinuiXlht?about-in?the?Sheriff ~ cam
paign whtch also reached to the Com
mi'.Miiuu1& no doubt but that
the majority would have been many
times as great as it was.
T ne -cuiUt>Hi;MW.eeu _the presatU
Sheriff Henry A. Kearney and Maj.
Samuel P. Doddle, was the one that
attracted _nv*t interest and-attentfor.
^wev^^-Mitd rair-atoirg smoSlITlfun
about a week before the prima 'v
when quite a little additional inter
est was stirred up. drawing the line
"iips clearer and involved-the Coin- ?
missioners which brought anout a re
newed interest and vigorous work on
both sides. As a result of this con
test Sheriff Kearney won over his
opponent by almost 600 majority.
But the blow that stunned the public
was the wlthdrawaLot E. D. Parris'i,
also a contestant for Sheriff and his
statements in regard thereto appear
ing at the polling places on The mor
ning of the primary.
In the stir up three of the old Boar i
T>T~Commissioners7 Messrs. John D.
Alston. John R. Earle and J. Matthew
Sykes, lost out, while William D. Ful
ler and J. P. Timberlake were elected
with safe majorities. Messrs.
William C. Wilder, Albert J. Joyn^r
and Cephus C. Hudson were the n2W
members elected.
While the interest was centering on
the above offices Mr. John (Jack) B.
King, of New Hope, Harris township,
out ran both his opponents( Represen
tative W. Henry Macon and former
Representative $. Atwood Newell,
with a score of 48 more votes than
both of them and receiving the nomi
nation by a majority of 24.
The contest between Meadows and
Byrd for Coroner wasr exceedingly
dose. Byrd having a majority over
Meadows of 12 votes.
The local interestjyu-nu W. ""I
the Statft-ticketTwasalmost lost sigl-t
of, however the friends of Senator
Overman, Judge Gulon and Cameron
Morrrison made quite a neat show
ing for them. .Prof. N. Y. Gulley lead
the ticket for Associate Justices in
the County.
Only two townships had contests
for Constable. In Cedar Rock Mr.
Peter Dean won over his opponent,
Mr. Roger Collins, by a large major
ity, while in Gold Mine Mr. Clea-y
Parrish beat his opponen# almost ov
erwhelmingly.
After the smoke of the primary had
passed over everything resumed Its
usual quiet and unity and both the
losers and winners have Joined hands
to roll up the biggest majority In the
history of the County in November.
