Shaffer, multi-millionaire baggageman, newspaper publisher, and sponsor for grand opera stars, received a sudden jolt in Judge wfndes* court in Chicago Friday when the court ruled against him in the injunction . suit he h^d jftl^0.. against John A. Childs, James R. Paul, F. W. Cool- edge, Jr., and A. H. Bowman, in an on when his holdings are compared to those of Gen. Luis Terrazas of Chi- huahua, Mexico. Take a map of Kan- sas, draw a line down the center of it north and south, and the eastern half of it-wilh»bdut, equal in area the hold- ings of Gen. Terrazas. In one body of land the general is said to have some- thing, like ^8,000,000 acres, while the whole area he owns is said to equal 28,000,000 acres, or approximately 43,- 750" square miles. Probably no other man' in the world owns so much land. Accumulated Fortune. Enrique Creel, son of an American father and a Mexican mother, is a son-in-law of Gen Terrazas, and a self made man. in the process of his mak- ing he is said to have accumulated a fortune second only to that of his father-in-law^ and his land holdings comprise more thousands oT^acres than can be counted on one's Angers and toes. The combined properties comprise more than half the state of Chihuahua. Except when revolutions are revo- luting, Terrazas and Creel between them practically own the state of Chihuahua and the city of the same name. Just now they don't own any of it for practical purposes since neither of them dares to put a finger across' the boundary for fear that one of Villa's sharpshooters will shoot it off. But ordinarily Terrazas is the feudal lord of Chihuahua and Creel is his ^Evanston Ipdex^ t 1 Wednesday of last week George 4 Merrick, attorney for Mr. Shaffer, se- cured a temporary injunction restrain- ing the above1 named men from pub- lishing The* Index until a hearing had been had. ■-*■ Friday the caBe came up before Judge Windes in the Circuit court.

The hearing was short, Judge Windes ordering the injunction dissolved. As soon as the decision was announced Mr. Shaffer' and his eldest son, Carrol, who were in the court room, hastily made their de- parture.

They own the banks, the breweries, some railroads, cotton mills, and near- ly every other industry in the city and jeffort toStOP^the publication- of TheF^ta^ They own mines of gold and Silver and almost everything else. On the huge ranches there roam uncount- ed cattle, sheep and horses. One esti- mate made some years ago, before the rebels began to use the general's ranches and stores as their commis- sary department, was that Terrazas had 1,000,000 cattle, 700,000 sheep and 100,000 horses. Working on the plan of exacting most of the profit for himr self, the general operated his own slaughter houses, where approximate- ly 150,000 cattle and 10.0.000 sheep On this ranch there used to .be ap- proximately 2,000 employes. There the general lived like a baron of old in a castle of the typical Mexican mis- sion style of architecture. His town house, too, is a castle, and furnished as befits a man whose wealth can only be conjectured, but which is estimat- ed at anywhere from $200,000,000 to $500,000,000. Between piling up money and man- aging his vast properties, Gen. Ter- razas found time, under most of the Diaz administration, to be governor of Chihuahua, and acting on the well-es- tablished-Mexican principle of keep- ing good things in the family, Tie ap- pointed Enrique Creel, his son-in-law, the acting governor to do Hie heavy Work,.;. _______M?onJIltlei Meneat!yJ______■ Gen. Terrazas came honestly "By his title and the foundation of his wealth, for In the troublous days of the French invasion, and afterwards, he fought hard-and_dften, first against the im- perial forces and afterwards ¥gainst the Church party. In lieu of money for his services the government paid him in land, and that waB the founda- tion of the fortune and the small em- pire which he now. owns report on the problem "Medical inspection of schools has declares Dr. Ernest Bryant Hoag in a bulletin on 'Organized Health Work,' just issued by the United States Bu- reau of Education. "Without an effective-follow-up serv- ice conducted by visiting nurses, med- ical inspection is ineffective. Until 1008 New York City relied upon postal cards sent to parents of defective chil- dren, and was able to secure action in -only six per cent of the cases where treatment was recommended. Imme- diately upon placing the following service in the hands of school- nurses the percentage increased to eighty- four. "The nurse effects what no other agency could accomplish. She not only secures action in the case at hand but she becomes a permanent advisory influence in the homes where she visits.___... ________ "By virtue of her. room-to-room vis- itation and her opportunities for ob- servation, the school nurse also be- comes thB~ideal sanitary inspector. She notes temperatures, ventilation, seating, cleanliness of room, • toilets, LAUDS DAWES HOTEL FOR UNEMPLOYED blackboards and the clothes of chil- dren. Her hospital standards of san- itation tend to follow her into the schools. "The school nurse is firsTandiast~a social worker. She instructs ignorant but fond mothers in the best methods of feeding, clothing and oaring for their children. She is received in their homes as . no other official vis- itor could possibly be.. Dr. Osier docs not overstate the case when ho says that the visiting nurse is a minister- ing angel everywhere. . "That the visiting nurse is a good economic investment is evidenced by the fact that some of the large insur- ance companies find it to their advan- tage to employ a number of them to visit the homes of policy holders and give instruction In matters pertaining to hygiene. Department stores and factories also find it good business to employ nurses to look after the health of their employes and to teach them personal hygiene. "The number of school nurses need- ed varies somewhat according to so- cial conditions and according to the j-angeoijiuties-expected of them. We find all the* way from one thousand to ten thousand children under tho care of,one nurse. In New York City each nurse has from two to seven schools, with a total attendance of about four thousand children. In Philadelphia five schools and about 5,000 children are usually allotted to one nurse while in Boston the propor- tion of nurses is about twice as great. It is not improbable that the ratio will be increased until it reaches an aver- age ot one nurse for each one thou- sand of the school imrollmcnt. If there 'Wero one nurse for every two thousand pupils, about ten thousand . nurses would be required in the entire United States. A nurse's room completely equipped is coming to be regarded as one of the essentials in every school building of eight or more rooms." LOCY LECTURED TNTHE^OUTH.

Hopkins, Chicago Pas- tor, Terms Memorial lktel_a_ "Practical Immortality," The newHufusF. Dawes hotel for men out of work was praised as a "practical Immortality" by Dr. Fred- erick E. Hopkins, pastor of--fche-Park- Manbr Congregational church, Chi- cago. in his sermon Sunday.------------ "The immortality of theology Is vague," said Dr. Hopkins. "The im- mortality of poetry is pretty, but much of "itr is mseless. But practical immortality is the kind that enables the good in men and women to live after them In services which they would have rendered if they had re- mained oh earth. "The hotel for workingmen where they can get-a bed-and-a-bath for- £» cents and a substantial jneal for an- other nickel Is an illustration of prac- tical immortality, ft; will immortalize the young mail of. culture, wealth, ro- bust health and human interest who would have thus used his money, so- cial influence and culture had he not been drowned a year ago. "When we looked at the picture of the fireside in, ibis hotel It certainly struck a responsive chord in our hearts and we said that we would give more for ft than any 'Mona Lisa' we had ever seen.

Probably the saddest feature of the death list in Evanston during the last year has been the passing of more than-a score of pioneer residents,Jthe most of whom have played Important parts in shaping the destiny Of the present prosperous city.
