ftSe School luncheons.

In England the problem Of feeding
tnsufficiently nourished school children
has become so acute that many munich
palities have been compelled to supply
free breakfasts at least to thousands
OF public school pupils. The Salvation
Army abandoned Its work in this field
for awhile, but the need was so great
that 1t had to take 1t up again, and last
year 1t supplied over $4,000 break
fasts to children at charge of half q
cent each.
In looking for food that would be
cheap and at the same time sufficiently
nourishing the experts employed rec
ommended breakfast consisting Of n
currant roll weighing six ounces and
mug of cocoi. This decision con-
firms the conclusions of some of the
worlds leading diet specialists that
currants are one of the most nourishing
and wholesome and at the same time
one OF the cheapest food products.

I'VE have II 900 idle cars. Five months
ago we suffered from a congestion of
freight, now we suffer from a con-
Igestion of empty cars"
What is true OF the Rock Island IS
said TO be true also of scores Of other
railroads. One railway official ven
tured the statement that in the coun-
try today there were 100000 idle
freight cars and one line which he
instanced was declared to be hAuling
empty cars backward and forward
because 1t had not yard room or
sidings to accommodate them.
Not a single official of a single
railway line who appeared before the
commission, however, expressed the
belief that the present industrial de-
preston would be lasting. In the
Testimony of nearly every witness be-
fore the commission there was note
of confidence because nearly every
one of them practically think that the
stringency in the money market from
which the country has suffered Is not
duo to fundamental causes.
They practically uniformly express
confidence that the return of prosper
ity would be almost as sudden as was
the coming of adversely and in their
arguments as to the. enforcement of
the nine hour day they pointed out to
the commission that sucn a return OF
prosperity might seriously embarass
them in complying with the law be-
cause Il would render II difficult to
command the services of competent
operators, in sufficient numbers to
meet the needs OF prosperous condi-
Itions.
With four or five exceptions no i'm
lportant railroads of the country have
indicated an intention TO reduce the
wages of their employees. AS Chair
man Knapp OF the interstate COM
merce commission, expressed It: 80
far as / am informed, there Is no
concerted action on the part of Amer
lean railway companies to reduce

Ichange the scale of wages have been
given, but they can be said to be in

Washington, March 2.--Amerlcan
railways have made arrangements to
comply with the provisions of the
nine-hour law" The operation of the
law will mean the employment by
the railroad companies of several
thousand additional operators and the
closing of a large number of small
stations on the principal systems.
Discontinuance of railway service at
many points 1t Is thought, will induce
Nleast temporary inconvenience to
the travelling and shipping public In
order to reduce operating expenses,
which now seems necessary. The OPP
Grating officials of the railways be-
lieve that this is the only way that
they can possibly meet the situation
with which they are confronted.
During the hearing OF applications
for an extension of the nine-hour
law by the Interstate commerce COM
mission, some astonishing statements
were made by the operating officials
OF important railways. n SoOu many
lines. owing to a reduction In their
revenues and to their inability to
command the cash necessary to meet
their payrolls, have been forced, dur
ing the past four months, almost 10
the point of asking for receivers. In
the opinion of the railway officials,
this condition does not seem to have
been due to the enforcement OF reg
ulative laws or to the incapacity of
railway management. Most OF the
railway officials attribute the diff
Guilty to the unfortunate banking stu
alton which developed last Septem-
Der. The railways did not feel the
stringency in money until about the
first of November. In fact. the month
of October was one OF the best in the
history of the business of American
railroading

Dried Currant Pie.

Some day when you wish new des.

ipe was originated by woman one
year when fresh fruit was scarce. II
proved a great success and was SO de-
licious that it was called for many
times afterward. Carefully pick over
and wash one pound of currants. When
the currants are ready for use pour
cold water over them and drain 1t of
just before putting them into a pan
lined with pie crust. Cover the fruit
with bits of currant, grape or apple
jelly, cover the top crust and place in
the oven. The heat In baking makes
the currants swell up like fresh fruit
and melts the Jelly into delicious
fruit sirup, thus making a very agree.

The naval argument In support Of
the proposed establishment of the
grade of vice admiral is strongly re-
enforced by comparison made at the
navy department between the British
home fleet engaged in the maneuvers
last fall and the splendid battleships
fleet commanded by Rear Admiral
Evans. The British fleet IS composed

the doctor. "It is nothing more or

the congestion about the appendix
with violet electric rays and a high

compels the blood TO return to the
