trained in children's work to hold I
"clinics" in different small towns

line.
Parents are advised as to the
care of the growing child and itB

the child's life aro the important
years for physical growing, and
these public health centers are es
tablished in many towns in many

MAX DISAPPEARES
IX SAX I RAXCISCO
It is feared that a tragedy has
followed the disappearance of C.i
E. Sparks, who recently left Ash-
land for San Francisco where j
ue nau gone to .u.ute, , ,
to news which arrived in Ashland;
this morning. When Mr. SparkB.
left Ashland lie had arranged for
his wife mid son to follow him.
They left for the city last week.
and according to a letter from
Mrs. Sparks, which she had wi'it-l
ten to friends here, when they ar-!(y
rived in San Francisco they found
a letter awaiting them at a hotel
from Mr. Sparks, In which, it is
claimed, he had written that he
was only a burden to his wife:
and son, and was going to end
It all. Mrs. Sparks stated in her
letter that nothing has been heard
from her husband slpce, and she
fears he has made way with him-
self.
Mr. Sparks came .here several
weeks ago and sturted a clean
ing establishment. He only kept
his business open a few days,
claiming that he could not get
enough work to warrant it. He
later secured employment in Mr. that desire to take advantage ofj , .

and the latter promised ! ant ee until September 1 equal to; ing of York, Pa., who was In Ash-
steady employment for both him
self and wife. This Mr. Sparks
rejected and left for San Francis
co, presumably thinking he could
no better in a large city. It is
feared he became discouraged
and decided to end his life.
