Lunch for Children,

Because things to eat do not always
present an attractive appearance their
nourishing quality is not properly ap-
preclated.
The value of dates for children's
school luncheons is not fully appreci-
ated. They are rather sticky, bother.
some things, as they are originally
purchased, and chcildren rarely care
for them They should be separated
and washed, the stone removed, and a
peanut or almond, sailed preferably,
substituted. The date is then rolled
in corn starch or powdered sugar, and
straightway becomes one of the APP
petizing triaes dear to youth. and at
the same time is healthful and nour-
ishing.

One of the most serious effects of

When the caterpillars mott these

may be quite generally disseminated.
When the hairs alight upon the hu.

The Diaries and the poeto, >.

One man that has the handling OF
a good deal of milk for Chicago tells
the writer that he has an arrangement
with the doctors in several towns
from which he buys milk, by which
the doctors report to him the presence
of any contagious disease on any farm
in the locality, whether that farm is
producing milk or not. In this way it
is possible for him to know about the
conditions under which milk is being
made for his trade. This he finds to
be very good plan. In the case of
the contagious disease being on the
farm of a man that is selling him
milk, he can take measures to prevent
the sending out of that milk. On the
other hand, if the disease is on the
farm of a man that is not selling him
milk, he can serve a notice on the
men that are selling him milk that
they are not to receive the milk from
such a farm. If this practice were
made general it would greatly i'm
prove the situation as to the spread
of contagious diseases by means of
milk. Cases are constantly coming to
the attention of the public where some
man that is supplying perhaps only
very small amount of milk to the
trade is the means of scattering dis.
eases that ravage communities using
the milk Every man should have too
much conscience to sell milk when he
has a deadly disease in his family, but
actual experience demonstrates that
that is just the time he will sell his
product, as a general thing, for the
reason that his needs are greatest at
that time. This phase Of human ma
ture must be taken into consideration.
