Capacity Of Dining Room.

The dining room for the larger children
and their mothers has a seating capacity
OF 200. The room is well screened, and
all OF the walls open so mat the guests
practically, are eating out Of doors. Fresh
vegetables are served in abundance, and
an amount Of meat deemed proper by the
physicians Is served to the children The
mothers have coffee and tea, and eat
practically anything they wish. The vege-
tables ape raised in the camp garden.
Great care is taken with the milk. which
IS pasteurized.
The children are in bed by o'clock at
night. and rise at $50. Accompanied by
the singing Of America" the nag is
raised every morning and lowered each
evening. In the early hours Of the even-
ing the children dance and play In a
pavilion, where piano music is furnished.
All sleep In tents.
There are many swings and other ac-
cessorfes to amuse the children in the
grounds. The boys particularly enjoy the
swimming and base ball. AS the soil IL
sandy, 1t takes only q few minutes after
a rain for the grounds to dry enough for
play. The sanitation OF the camp is good,
and is in charge OF the health department
The camp. with the exception Of the
baby division. has been in operation each
summer since 1904. and 1t Is known that

Under Care All Summer.

The older children and their mothers,
except In unusual cases, remain at the
camp only two weeks, but the infants
will be kept there all summer. One room
in the main building is kept for isolation
cases, and for babies when they first ar
rive, where they are carefully examined
to make sure that they have no con-
tagious disease. As. fast as the older
campers leave new arrivals will take
their places.
In the main part Of the camp the chill
dren are from four to twelve years old.
Mrs. E. X. Bushee. chief attendance Of
ficer Of the District public schools, has
genera supervision. In her work with
the schools she has been thrown with
many Of the families now represented at
the camp and knows the history of the
boys and girls. In caripg for the girls
she is assisted by Misses Mary Golden,

Helen Wright. Three young men, Edwin

mer. The condition Of the babies is due
to two causes-ignorance on the part of
the parents and such abject poverty that
needed things could not be purchased
The mothers are not required to do any
work at the camp, and are expected only
to recuperate by resting.
The babies cribs are kept Immaculate
and are placed on screened porch. Hos
pital regulations in regard to the keeping
of the various charts to show the condi-.
ton Of the children are followed by the
nursery. Two of the little ones brought

the lack Of the proper care. One is nine
months old and weighs less than nine
pounds. 1t not only has a sickly color,
but its expression is that of an old per-
son. The other babe is more than four
months old and weighs only six pounds.
1t Is thought that by the end Of the sum-
mer both of these children will have re-
gained their strength.

Pressure Now to Fight Disease.

So many hundred people in Min
nesota are dying each month from
preventable diseases that all intelli.
gent persons are trying to stop this
suffering and sorrow. Diseases like
consumption and typhoid fever are
due more to carelessness and filth than
anything else. Many clubs and other
organizations are taking advantage
of the long winter evenings to plan
cooperative work in helping stamp out
preventable diseases.
This is the most sane way of at
tampting to cut down the economic
loss from preventable diseases. In
some places clubs are studying the
local milk situation; discussing filth
and fly breeding places; investigating
poor sanitation: and noting how many
babies are needlessly blind. Any OF
these lines of work will reveal condi-
tions which will force action.

At this season of the year farmers
are anxious to know the amount that
a certain bin holds. There are two or
three methods that are used in de-
termining the amount of grain in a
square or rectangular bin. Multiply
together the height, the depth and
the width in feet. which will give the
number of cubic feet in the bin.
Multiply by four and divide by five to
End the number of bushels. Another
method is to multiply the number OF
cubic feet. in the bin by eight and
cut off the right hand figure. In {
round bin multiply the diameter by
3. 1416 and this amount by the height
which will give the cubic feet. Their
