Home Problem in Germany.

The inspiring adequate way in
which some German municipalities
take care of their citizens is shown in
the case of the city of Ulm in
Wurtemberg. This town has so well
solved the question of homes for
workingmen and clerks that social
noliticaI students, not only from other
PARTS of Germany. but from England,
Janan. Italy. Norway, Austria, Russia
and Switzerland, have gone there for
light on the home problem. During
. period of some twenty years the city
has acquired ownership of large tracts
of land for the purpose of being able
ia secure for the poorer classes of the
population cheap. good and healthy
homes: an object already realized to
surprising degree of completeness.
The experiment was made first on
small scale. Land in an outlying part
of the city was bought, small but good
houses built and each with a little gar
den and sold to persons OF moder-
9+e means in the most reasonable way,
ca that a workingman could, after
number of years. own a home. Inc
ain, has been achieved to the extent
that now the working men and clerks

with well built, healthy and cheap
homes "Order, cleanliness and hap

Overlooked Food.

Much good. wholesome food is prac-

Overlooking is the principal objection
to canned meats. because food that is

Figure it Out.

A beggar boy asked an old gentle
man in the street for sixpence
What will you do with it if [ give
you one?" asked the old gentleman.
Turn it into ninepence quick" re-
piled the boy.
"How?'
Give me the siXpence and I'll soon
show YOU.
The boy got the money. darted off to
a bakers shop and bought a three
penny loaf, with which he returned to
the old gentleman and handed him
back three pennies
"How's this? You said you would
make the sixpence into ninepence.'
SO l have. The bakers got three
pence, you've got threepence, and I've
got a threepenny loaf. That's nine
pence. '-Pearson's Weekly.

among small babies has fallen very

have, of course, contributed to this
general well-being. The city neglects
no matter touching the good of it's citi-
zens. This naturally involved great
public expenditures and yet Ulms
tax rate is lower than that of any other
city in Wurtemberg. There is in Ulm,

acquire more municipality-owned land

functions than we are today inclined
to do.-Catholic Fortnishtly Review.

SLAUGHTER of the lnnocents.

From 200, 600 to 100000 children in
the United States die every year in
preventable causes. The chief statis-
tician of the federal census bureau is
the authority for that statement
Nearly a fifth are infants under one
year of age, and more than a fourth
are children under five years of age.
1t is the conclusion of an eminent
medical authority that the deaths of
AZ per cent of the children may be
prevented and that 81 per cent of the
deaths of children between two and
eight years are also preventable.
