The Child Problem.

The problem of the child is tho
problem of the race. II We would look
forward to a mighty nation in the fu.
ture. a nation to conserve the heritage
Of the past and prove worthy Of the
proud traditions Of its history. We
must emancipate the children, free
them from slavery. from ignorance.
from neglect. take them out of the
shadows Of disease and the clutch of
death and place them on the surlit
path Of health. along which they can
joyfully march to the goal Of useful.

This IL such q glorious month! One
feels that 1t is just good to be alive.
and to be permitted to help others

delight and privilege much appre-
ciated BY the editor Of this depart

lovely luncheon and put 1t In early SO
that all those who may en' rfain soon
may have 1t. quote entire:
"A hostess who returned from q
summer abroad gave this pretty A.
fair. the place cards bearing this ap-
propriate verse:
Oh. Sweet September. thy nrst breezss
Tho dry leafs rustic and the squirrels
The cool fresh air whence health and
And promise Of exceeding Joy hereafter.
The cards were decorated with q
tracery in gold. studded with blue
dots. supposed to be sapphires. the
birth stone for this month. The Ia
BILE was bare. with a wonderful set OF
blue doilies and centerpiece done by
tho Russian peasant women. Black.

the only flowers In evidence and they
fairly made the rooms blaze with gor-
geous ,col0rings-'concentr sun

The piece de resistance was what
the hostess called scrapple and was SO
delicious she had to give the recipe.
which follows: One pound of round
steak. one pound Of fresh pork. put
through the chopper. boiled until done
and enough water left to take up corn
meal to the mush consistency. Mold

In cornmeal and fry in hot lard or

Then there were escalloped toma.

the dessert

Every days dawn Is an Easter

spirit Of aspiration shakes off its
lethargy of the night as a. use

each new day to higher alh--
tudes of endeavor. ~
There was a period in the past
century when a movement call
ed transce1dentalism stirred the
souls Of thinking. men. Ralph
Waldo Emerson was Its high
priest. Emerson was the tran
scendent optimist. He acknowl-
edged no evil in the universe.
He knew only that which was
4 good and held fast thereto. T..
< We cannot all be Emersonfan

the light and by hitehing our
wagons, to the stars be drawn up

cons our heads, but it need not
bow them. Sorrow pierces our
hearts, but it need not break
them. II we believe In the jus

Easter be to us the most signifi-
