SCHOOL MEALS

TN PARIS the school canteens pro-
vide varied, palatable, nutritious
and sufficient dietary. at cost of
under cents a child. The meal con-
sists of three courses, is served with
scrupulous cleanliness and, though
simple is more refined than the meals
of fairly well to do people in this coun-
try. When we contrast that with the
daily soup or slice of pudding which
too often represents culinary effort for
the children in this country. Sterne's
famous observation comes back with
redoubled force. In Paris, as in Lon
don, voluntary effort, which was at
first relied on, gradually dwindled, and
its contributions to the feeding of chill
dren now form very small percent
age of the total cost
But French frugality and organiza-
tion. together with culinary skill, have
evolved a system which, while effica-
cious as to feeding, covers a great deal
more at a cost~which to English peo-
pie must seem surprisingly small 1t is
administered, too, by the localities
themselves, which receive subventions
from headquarters. There is, at the
same time, very careful and thorough
system of inquiry and inspection, 20
see that parents who can pay the low
price charged for the meal do not avoid
payment.-London Times.

N the first place Mary was
very busy with her doll and
didnst want to oro Va. CO

~ TIC HISl place Mary was
very busy with her doll and
n didn't want to go. You see,
her mamma was in the kitchen
getting dinner ready, and the ket-
tie was almost empty and needed
more water, but Mary sat there
very still, hoping she wouldn't
have to go to the spring down be-
hind the house.
But the Pot kept on boiling
harder than ever, and by and by
mamma said:
Come, Mary, run and be back
in minute!''
So Mary took the tin pail from
behind the door, and went slowly
down the, path toward the spring
and what do you think? There
was the biggest and brightest
butterfly you ever saw flying
right down the path in front Of
her, and the next minute Mary
was off into the woods trying
with all her might to catch it. Her
hat was just as big and just as
round as could be, but somehow
or other when she put it down
where the butterfly was she
couldn't catch anything!
On she ran, farther and farther
away from home, and when the
butterfly flew up among the
branches Of the great trees and
didn't come down any more, Mary
couldn't see the spring anywhere,
and her papa's house was gone,
too! You see, she really was lost
and didn't know it.
And SO those little feet carried
that poor little girl around till
they ached SO Mary had to sit
down it the foot of tree and crv
for much as three minutes I
should think.
My goodness, gracious me!
What's the matter?"
Mary stopped crying and
looked up, and there she saw a
tremendous big bear right in
front of her. He was on his hind
legs, you know, but he smiled so

CONCERT GoERS

MY Dear NepneWS ana N1eceS:
m HE beginning of school days and
school work brought back your
interest in Juniordom very quick
ly, and 1 am certainly delighted to
welcome the former writer's and a great
many new ones this week.
The drawing contest will bring us
new contributors, and the birthday let
ters will be welcome, because birthdays
are something which each one of us
has and enjoys, so we like to know
about the ones other boys and girls
have.
Next week we will all be interested
in hearing about "the old home''
want every one of my boys and girls
to write and tell me where they
were born. They can say whether
it was in the city or country, wheth-
er in an OLD home of the family
or in some new house; tell all about
the first they remember of the place,
and how it seems to them now after
several years have passed. Many and
many of our Juniors are no doubt
still living in the same place where
write most interesting letters about
their surroundings; how the place
looked when they first remember it,
and how it now appears.
The drawing contest subject for this
week will suggest great many pic
lures to the boy and girl artists, I am
sure. Perhaps it will be the dinner
firoo for ohiakanc 1oor cot
eating off the same plate, or baby
brother in a high chair with his bowl
Of oat meal before him, or some of the
school children having dinner from
their school lunch baskets. These are
only a very few suggestions, and I
think it is unnecessary for me to make
more, with all these bright Juniors to
study the matter themselves.
1 hope many of the little Juniors from
1 to 10 years of age will write and tell
me about their birthdays. Some of
these little Juniors are too small to
write the letters themselves, but can
get some one to write the letter for
them. want even the tiniest bows and
girls who can to write the letters them
selves, for will be much more pleased
with the letter in childish writing than
in grown-up penmanship
How many of my Juniors were at
Simpson auditorium on Wednesday? I
was there to hear the delightful pro-
gram which Mr. Edison gave, and hope
that large proportion of the audience
was composed of Herald Juniors OF
course 1 could not tell which were nv
own little nephews and nieces and
which W~1e not I have a scheme for
the next concert whereby 1 can tell, if
you will all help me out. want each
of my boys and girls to sit quietly,
without whispering, and to wait courte-
ously until the entire program is com
peted without leaving their seats. Many
of the boys and girls the other day
were noticeably RESTLESS and they made
it unpleasant for listeners and singers
alike by constantly moving about. Next
time I shall be so proud of all my
well behaved boys and girls, and the
soloists will surely say to each other:
How splendid those children are to-
day; they sit as quietly as mice, and
seem most appreciative."
This last little bit is not a lecture
at all, girls and boys; it is only very
little hint How many will remember
it at the next concert?
With love for you all,
AUNT LAURIE.

The Unfinished Story

What did you say, Mr.. Bear? ?"
she asked.
Z said, Goodness, gracious
me! What's the matter 2" re-
piled the bear, taking off his
spectacles and wiping them on
his pocket handkerchief, which
he carried around his neck.
I'm all lost" said Mary.
Nonsense" said the bear.
But | am, really and truly"
"My goodness gracious me-"
said the bear; you're not lost,
for here you are, right here
We'll, my mammals lost, any
way"
That may be-" said the bear;
shall we go and find herr"
Are you a good, kind bear,
like the little one with the little
bowl of milk and the little chair
and the little bed in Silver
Locks'?" asked mary.
"I'll show you whether I am
or not" said the big black bear,
and he tumbled down on his four
paws and began to dig away the
leaves at the foot Of the tree.
Mary looked on very much in
terested.
What are you doing?" she
asked, but the bear kept right on
and didn't say a word. BY and
by he stopped and looked all
around.
do you see any of my little
bears about here?" he whispered.
81 don't want them to know
where l keep it."
Mary looked all around, but
did not see a thing, so the big
bear kept on, and when he had
made hole in the ground as
big as a pumpkin he pulled up
little cardboard box with tissue
paper scallops all around the
edges.
Complete this story, describing the
contents of the mysterious box, what
use the bear suggested for it and what
Mary thought it should be used for.
Tell what they finally did with the box
and contents, and relate their adven-
ture until Mary reached her home
safely again.
Write from $50 to 800 words on one
side of the paper, leaving margin at
the top and side of each page, address
the letter neatly to Aunt Laurie, The
Herald Junior, care The Herald, Los
Angeles, Cal, and be sure that it
reaches this office not later than Sat-
rrdav afternoon January 30.

of languor and fatigue. Neglect these
warnings and there is danger of drop
