MOTHER AND THE CHILDREN.

Widowed by desertion death she
and her brood of four children are
in poverty. She leaves them unpro.
tected and goes to work in other wom-
ems homes at drudge's tasks The
cares of her own home and the hard
work in three years Cause her physi-
cal breakdown and she is no longer
able by her own efforts to keep the
wolf from the door.
Comes then poor relief from the
county-fuel, food and clothing; aid
from charity organizations and indi-
vidual aid. The children seeing how
easy something is got for nothing are
invited to add the shame of pauper-
ism to the misfortune of poverty.
In the cities syndicated charity
steps in and takes mother and chill
dren into the juvenile court. "This
mother" says a salaried agent of
syndicated charity, cant take cara
of her children. She hasn't the means
and her health is bad" Then the fam.
lily is broken up. Mary is sent to
Iowa, John to South Dakota, Jane
10 Nebraska and Frank to Montana.
Chances are they'll never again see
one another or their mother. In r1any
states for any one to tell the mother
where the children are is criminal
offense.
This is what is called charity and
Christianity. In the name of human
ity widow is left to support her chill
dren at the wash tub and when she
can't do it she and the children are
pauperized and they are torn from
her.
It's all wrong, of course, and ad-
mits no defense.
No living being can have for a
child the same solicitous regard its
mother has for it. No institution,
however good it is, can take the place
of home, however humble it is. The
unit Of the nation is the home and
when homes are destroyed and gov
ernment's integrity, homogenity and
cohesiveness impaired.
What is to be done about it? Sim
ply this: keep the children with the

SALT RIVER
(By Walt MasOp)

The long campaign Is Ger, and on
Salt rivers shore we stand and watch
the boats of those who tried to save
the boats of those who tried to save
this country from it's grave, and only
dark; the boatmen in their bark don't
smile or sing or joke; they do not care
a whoop what country's in the soup,
what government goes broke. They
sadly guide their ship the while their
teardrops drip into the briny flood;
the captain, bos' s'un, mate, have got
their crouch on straight, the vessels
name is Mud. The sailors in the hold
just stand around and scold and curse
their blighted lives; their hope, they
murmur, ends because their faithless
friends got after them with knives.
All, dismal is the scene! The old ships
masts careen and shake each spar and
yard; and from the haunted shore the
sailors hear the road of roorback and
canard. The woods along the beach
re-echo to the screech of elephant and
moose; the donkey stands and brays
for perished yesterdays, and mutters:
What's the use!" Oh, sad old ship
and gray, go on your weary way, with
all your weeping men! Your voyage is
in vain; when there's a new campaign
they'll bring you back again! Once
more they'll want to save the nation
from the grave, and help the Peepul's S
cause. The schooner seems to know;
her timbers groan in woe, she wallows,

body-lice. We sent to town for five
pounds of plaster of Paris, one pint
of gasoline and ten cents worth of

used. In an hour after the gasoline

and half through the perch. Into
these holes we squirted kerosene and
cresol, mixed ten parts to one, and
let the hens perch over the fumes
which lasted several days. Yester-
day we looked our chickens over, and
where we had found lice by the hand
full, we now could not find one. Are

HOW TO RAISE A GALE

There is no place on earth where
people are more kind hearted and gem
erous than right here, especially when
the article asked for is good advice,
says the editor of the Sawyer News.
The writer was in need of special
advice the past week on plans and
specifications for the care and treat
ment of baby calf. The children
having decided that little cowlet,
born few days after Roosevelt was
not elected last week, should be kept
in the family as pet. 1t was up to
the old man to learn how the trick
was done. AS soon as it was known
chat information was needed it came
in chunks. The following are among
the gems so freely offered:
Take the calf away from its mother
at once.
Let the calf stay with its mother at
least week.
A quart of milk at feed time is
enough at the start.
blNc IL nan q Saiioii eib a tiiiiS.
A young calf should have at leas!
a gallon of milk twice day.
Give it the milk just as it come
from the COW.
SKINNED milk is as good as any 70.
a calf
Mix shorts with the milk.
Never mix anything with the milk
1t always pays to raise calf.
1t will cost twice as much to raise
calf as it will be worth.
Equipped with all this informatio
it is unnecessary to say that the cal
is doing nicely and it's nurse will
probably live through the ordeal. Onc
bit of knowledge was gained from thc
calf itself, namely: when Satan was
cast out of a certain man many years
ago he did not take up his abode in
swine alone.

OUR NATION AL SIN
H. H. Windsor in the Popular

II. Ii. windsor in the Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.
We are continually reminded of the
need of conservation of our natural re-
sources-forests, mines, water powers
and the like-and action in this direc-
tion is highly desirable, if not even
now absolutely necessary. Given suf-
ficient time the forests may be in
creased, the water powers extended
from a few months to the entire year,
and dying soils revived. But there is
yet more important waste that is
nationwide, and is found where there
are neither forests, nor mines, nor
water powers. 1t exists in every state
and is growing all the time, not only
by reason of larger population, but at
an increasing percentage as we'll.
This is the waste in the home
kitchen.
AS a nation we have practiced ex-
travagance from childhood; really a
natural and logical sequence in land
of apparently inexhaustible resources.
where valuable hardwood trees were
burned to clear the land for cultiva-
tion, which same land later produced
so bountifully that corn was often
used as fuel because it was too cheap
to sell. Those days have passed, it is
true-never to return again in the
United States. But the condition

however justifiable such wastes may
have been in their day, and while not
practiced at the present time, they
nevertheless contributed to the growth
Of a spirit of reckless wastefulness
which has now pervaded all classes
Even the most thrifty immigrants,
born and reared to exercise the most

throws away every day in the year
enough food alone to feed, and feed
much better than some are now fed, a
nation of 100000 souls; as for in
stance, the combined population of
European Turkey and Persia, or all of
Manchuria. Perhaps we will compre-
hend it better in terms of our own
cities; that is, enough is wasted
through carelessness or ignorance in
preparation, or thrown away after
cooking, to actually feed-though per-
haps not quite as well as they are fed,
but to sufficiently feed--the combined
population of the following cities:
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Gin
cinnati, st. Louis, San Francisco, New
Orleans, Los Angeles, Omaha, Denver,
Portland, Ore, st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Detroit, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Buff
falo and Kansas City, Mo. Seems i'm.
possible, but the figures are under
rather than overestimated.
Just think of it; enough nourishing
food absolutely wasted in this country
every day to feed every man, woman
and child in eighteen of its largest
cities. Part Of this loss is due to ig-
norance and carelessness of servants,
but very large portion is waste for
which the housewife is responsible.
At only 10 cents per meal the above
loss amounts to $4,500,000 per day,
or 1852, ,500, 900 per year.
The only wonder is the high cost
