TEA-DRlNKlNG BY CHILDREN
Said by Physicians to Be Prevalent
Among Those of Poor Who
Cannot Afford Milk.

II has been stated by physicians that
the practice of tea drinking among the
children Of the poor is very prevalent,
saws the Detroit News-Tribune Even
little ones less than two years old are
given ten to drink three times a day
The reason for this is that the parents
are not able to buy milk for the chill
dren. and. thinking that they must have
something to drink besides water, ig-
%norantly give them tea, never realizing
the disastrous results that may follow to
the growing child in the way OF nervous
ness and other troubles. Physicians
who work among the poor are discour-
aging this practice as far as possible n
advising water as a beverage, either cold
or hot with a little milk added, making
that drink known in many families as
"cambric tea" Women, too, who know
better than to give tea to babes, might
do much good by instructing those who
do not know better; not in an intrusive
way, but by perhaps saying: My doc
tor says it is harmful to give children
tea, so | have stopped it altogether
And the ignorant women with the doc
tors opinion placed before them, will
more often than not listen and profit by
It. for they have much confidence in a
physician.

WENT TOO MUCH BY NAME
Lady Hotel Guest Receives Some En-

Waiter.

A woman lives at one Of the Kansas
City hotels who has the reputation OF be-
ing rather fnicky and hard to please in
the manner of food. A day or two ago
at lunch, relates the Kansas City Jour
nal, after looking over the dessert list,
she decided or some ice cream pudding.
The meal had been one with which she
had considerable difficulty in finding fault,
but when she had about half finished tho
dessert she called the waiter over aud
said:
George, what do you mean by calling
this ice cream pudding? There isn't any
ice cream about it, and you know it,
"Nes'm," said the waiter. know
derc amt no ice cream in it, OATS 1es..

well" she continued. 81 think that
il th7y give a dish such a name they
ought to make it conform to the name,
and 3 you call this ice cream pudding,
you ought to bring some ice cream with
it."
"Yes'm," answered the s%eryitor, but
YOU know we can't allus do it that way.
You know we doesn't bring a cottage IN
with cottage pudding ,
The waters reply brought a burst ct
laughter from the people who heard the
conversation. and since then the woman ;
criticisms of the menu have been few and

Don't you do 1t! If you move your

But the other did not sthop.
He thrust his hand into his hip
pocket. pulled out a silk handkerchief
wiped his eyeglasses, picked up a paper
and began to read it,
Then the man with the bristling
mustach turned to the unmistakable
Englishman who had been sitting at
the next table and listening with hor-
rifed establishment to the converse,

THIS YEARS COTTON CROP.


Last spring there appeared in Inc
columns of the Atlanta Constitution "A
most remarkable production. This ar
ticle called upon the farmers Of the
country to plant for twelve million
bales OF cotton. 1t went on to tell
The farmers why they ought to make
twelve million, and that if they did
make twelve million it would be no
more than the country was obliged TO
have and that they would get big

tions we should have made twelve

misses was that under normal condi-
lions this year that the world might
look for sixteen million bales OF cot

Atlanta Constitution gave to the farm
ers. and that is the information that
they gave out to the world. Our peo-

FISHERS WHO CAN'T SWIM.
Labrador Mems Lives Often Haz-
arded Through Ignorance
of This Art.

Few fishermen can swim, says a writer
In Leslie's Monthly on Labrador, you
see. we has enough O. the water without
goin' to bother wi it when we are
ashore a man said to me only the
other day. Yet this very man had fallen
overheard in the open sea no less than
four times and had only been saved on
one occasion by catching the line thrown
him in his teeth and holding OF till he
was hauled aboard. His hands were too
numbed to be of any use. Still, this fact
does not deter them from facing the
water. In an open bay in Labrador lives
one solitary settler, In the spring Of the
year, when the ice was just breaking up,
the mans two lads were out on the bay
fee after seals, when all of a sudden 1t
gave way and the lads fell through,
The father, seeing 1t from the shore, did
not hesitate, but, Selling a fishing line,
hastily fastened one end round his body
and, giving the other end to his daugh-
ter to hold, he ran out to the hole
through which they had fallen. He
jumped into the water, actually went
down and fetched up the bodies, too late,
alas, to restore life to them after that
cold water.
