CHILD'S STOMACH

During the first year of many a
child's life the foundation for indiges-
ton is laid by the fond but foolish par
ents. Tastes" of various things are
allowed the child which the small
stomach is unable to digest. The hearty
food that can be digested by a grown
man cannot be assimilated by a small
child. Not only does the child not re-
ceive nourishment from such food, but
the intestinal tract is overWorked try
ing to dispose of the material This
same condition occurs all during life,
for the stomach constantly is being
overloaded by highly spiced and attrac-
tive tasting but indigestible articles of
diet.
: Many school children are underfed or
undernourished. 1t is not alone in the
poverty neighborhoods that
this occurs. This condition is just as
liable to be present in the homes IF
the wealthy AS a rule, too little at
tention is paid to the diet of school
children. They arise late in the morn .
ing, eat a hurried breakfast and hurry
through all the remaining meals of the
day. In many cases the children are
allowed to choose their own articles OF
diet, with the result that they choose
many indigestible things that do not
provide sufficient nourishment for tie
growing body nor brain cells. In a
number of instances ! have known
children to be given a small amount
of money every day to spend as they
chose. No attention was paid as 20

BRANDEIS COMES OUT

Famous Lawyer Has Change

Louis D. Brandeis said in substance
at the legislative hearing on women
suffrage in Massachusetts last week
1T is 80 years since | was fret called
upon seriously to consider the question
of woman suffrage The conclusion
which then reached was that tho
granting of suffrage to women was not
necessary or desirable. That decision
was reached from study of books ra-

Il have found that not only no class,
but no part of the community can be
safely trusted to govern, another. i;
we are to attain the American ideals,
it seems clear that they can be attained
only through perfect democracy, and
the cooperation of all parts of the
community, and that women cannot be
relieved from a share in the RESPONSE
bility and work of governings the state.
The fact that our political problems are
largely economic, instead of relieving
women from the duty of sharing in
their solution, constitutes the strongest
reason for bringing them in"

WHAT SCIENCE TELLS
OF WESTERN STORMS

With the storm tragedies of the past
week fresh in the public mind, a
clearer understanding of the causes
and destructive powers of tornadoes
and floods is sought by many. George
s Bliss. the noted official of the United
States weather bureau, has word or
two to say ON these matters, which
will be found interesting and peril
nent.
AS is generally known, most of tn ,
storms in the East originate in the
West Indies, sweep up the coast and
turn INLAND off Cape Hatteras. Through
this condition Philadelphia and the Mid
ole Atlantic States in general escape.
Mr.. Bliss also tells briefly the reasons
why the dangerous flood conditions
are not found here. Says Mr. Bliss.
The public is generally coming to
understand that weather and tempera-
ture conditions drift across the coun-
try from the west toward the east.
Thus, when the news of great destruc-
ton by a tornado i'm Omaha was fol-
lowed by the greater disaster occas-
toned b. the floods in Indiana and
Ohio, many Philadelphians became
alarmed, and the local weather bu-
reau Office was fairly besieged by anx-
ious inquiries over the telephone as to
whether we might expect the tornado
or the floods in this city.

How Power Comes.

THE tornado gains its destructive
power from two sources. FIRST, the ro>
tary, or vortex, motion within the fun
mel is so great as to cause partial
vacuum. When it swings over a build
ing the atmospheric pressure is reduc-
ed suddenly around the building while
the air within expands with an ex-
plosive effect. Second the walls,
which are burst outward, are caught
by the powerful rotating air currents
and are scattered in all directions.
"Tornadoes may form whenever con-
ditions are favorable for thunder
storms. Their formation cannot b.
forecasted, and, if it could be done, a
warning for tornadoes would probably
brighten about as many people to death
as the storm would kill. Tornadoes
sometimes occur along the North At
lantic slope, but not so frequently as
in the Western and Southern states.
"As to floods, it may be remarked
that drainage conditions in the Della
ware basin are not favorable for seri-
Gus results from heavy rainfalls only,
and, so far as is known, damaging
floods have never occurred except by
backwater from ice jams. The lower

shaped formations, rarely more than
200 yards in diameter and usually they
do not travel more than 20 to 30
miles. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
the area covered by them is small, but
the destruction within that area is
almost complete, and when they hap
pen to pass over a large city, as N
the case of Omaha, the results are
appalling.
The tornado funnel has movement
of transition of % TOGO miles per hour,
but the rotary wind velocities within
the funnel are extremely high. No de-
vice could be constructed by which
the velocities in the funnel could be
measured, as the strongest buildings OF
brick and stone are often leveled to

and in season, they will stand great
deal OF cold, but of course the frost
should not be allowed to touch them.
The boxes or barrels in the shed
should be placed so that the air
can circulate freely between them.
When the freezing weather comes

the cellar, where they should be kept
dry. A cellar containing water will
soon destroy fruit. The best tenn

about 33 degrees F.

three degrees above or below will do
no harm.

DIVERS IMPORTANT
HINTS FOR GARDEN
Heavy Application of Manure and
Plenty Of Potash Should Be
Used on Vegetables. {
CBy i. M. BENNINGToN.)

Such vegetables as cabbage cauli-
flower, lettuce and onions utilize to
the best advantage heavy applications
of manure.
Plenty OF potash and phosphoric
acid should be used with all vegeta-
bles and particularly with tomatoes,
peppers, eggplants and root-crops.
Lime Is the best preventative OF
club-foot in cabbage. II doesn't al
ways prevent this disease. but 1t is
usually effectual.
BY having vegetables at the earli-
est possible date you will be able to
catch the first customers and hold
them during the whole of the season.
Soils that are heavily MANFRED for
cabbage. lettuce. celery and other
crops will not need very much manure

large house is serious objection to
some people; but the improvements in
hot-air furnaces and In hot-water and

to reduce cost In this respect.
The shape of the house also has
great deal to dc with the cost of heat

Is very compact. There are no side
