KOSHER KITCHEN IN SCHOOL
In the Jewish District of New York
Food Is Especially Prepared
for Pupils.

Six hundred and thirty Jewish chill
dren of New York had luncheon the
other day for the small sun of three
cents each at the opening of the new
kosher kitchen just installed in public
school No. 90. This is the third large
school in the city to operate its own
lunch room.
The idea is to determine whether
children in New York elementary
schools suffer from malnutrition and
whether serving lunch at cost price In
the school buildings will tend to raise
the standard Of scholarship in the
Jewish district, the cooking is done
according to kosher methods.
Before school each morning brass
checks good for one full meal are
sold In the school yard. At nine
o'clock word is sem to the cook as to
the number of luncheons that will be
required at noon. This does away
with all waste of food. The meals
are served by the children and they
do the clearing up and the dish wash
ing under supervision.
Many of the children come from
homes where the mothers work out
by the day and there Is no one to
prepare the luncheon should they go
home for 1t. The medical examination
shows that the children who have par
taken of the lunches are in far bet
ter physical condition and are doing
better school work than those who
have done without.

man who breeds and develops one

advantageously adyertises that
section of the country; while
legislatures which are liberal with
their laws and premiums, there
by encouraging the breeders of
good stock, will add greatly to
the fair fame and wealth Of their
states.

KEEPING THE STREETS CLEAN
Suggestions of New York Man for
Securing Pure Air in the
Large Cities.

William Van V. Hayes Of New York
presents suggestions for improving
the care of the streets in New York
so as to secure pure air. All sorts
of Heterogeneous are found in the
dust of the streets, anthrax. tubercu-
losis, diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid and
|dysentery have been detected in it.
The tuberele bacillus when dried in
large, thick crusts and left in a cold,
dark place like a corridor will live for
six to eight months. The bad condi-
ton Of the streets Is in part due to
carelessness Of the citizens and in
part to a~ntiquated methods of clean
ing. The removal of ashes in cans
on a long automobile cart, without
emptying them in the street, is advo-
Gated. The use Of yacuum cleaning
wagons is advisable. The people must
be educated not TO throw things into
the street. Splitting should be forbid
den in the streets rs well as on side
walks and proper r~eceptacles proyid-
ed. Cats and dogs should not be kept
in the city and automobiles should
take the place of the horse, whose
manure soils the streets. Flushing
the streets should be more frequent.
The subway should have in front of
stations an improved roadbed that can
be cleaned properly; the entering air
should be screened and dust-gather-
ing cars should pass over the road at

Nebraska is AGAIN making re
narkable long strides To line up
18th the leading states as a
breeding center Of light harness
horses. She has passed through
panics and crop failures which
gave her breeders staggering, al
most Knockout blows; but they
are coming back courageously
and attracting the attention Of
horscmcn all over the country.
Before the panic Of 1893 and 81,
Nebraska had a largo number Of
breeders and the most active
state Breeders Association in
he union and was fast gaining
a leading position among the
morse producing states when the
dark days of the panic fell upon

tie breeders of the young state.
They struggled bravely through
/, however, and were fast re-
gaining their former foothold.
Almost every farmer had one or
more choice brood mares and in
each town and city business and
professional men were annually
breeding a few good mares to the
promising young sires standing
for public service and the state
had a faif chance to taking the
lead and becoming a prominent
factor in the horse breeding in
dustry. With such men as Nor
