MILK CRUSADE SAVES BABES
Stations for Distributing Infant Food
Are Constantly Increasing
in Various Cities.

A constantly increasing number OF
cities of all sizes are establishing milk
stations and dispensing milk, whether
pure whole milk, certified, modified,
pasteurized or sterilized milk to
mothers Of babies that must be bottle
fed Some of the cities in which such
Institutions are maintained are: AL
bany, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chi
cago, Dayton, Detroit, Hartford, Homo
lulu, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Mo-,
Lawrence, Mass; Louisville, Lowell,
Milwaukee, Newark, New Bedford,
New Haven, New York, Peoria, Pitts
burgh, Providence, Rochester st.
Louis, Springfield, O.; Waterbury
Wilkesbarre, Worcester, Yonkers'
Utica.
The milk station is simply a room
sufficiently large to accommodate the
patrons and equipped with large ice
box, a desk, some chairs and table.
An ordinary store is suitable for a
station and sometimes, as in the case
of the station at Utica, N. Y, school
room may be used for the purpose.
The station is usually under the
charge of nurse, and physician is
in attendance at stated hours.

Library Etiquette in Kansas.

Don't throw down the quarter or
dime as if your real intention was to
make holes in the delivery desk, says
the Kansas Industrialist. The fine
charged on your overdue book is only
g reward for your own carelessness,
and, contrary to the ideas of some per-
sons, is neither a peace offering to
the librarian nor a contribution to her
pin money box.
If you must chew gum, seek the pri-
vacy Of your own room. Do not ap-
proach the delivery desk during the
operation. Many librarian has been
called Crouch" because she did not
hasten to serve careless schoolgirl,
who accosted her thus (between
chews): Say, I wish you'd get me
sumpin' on George Eliot, or, if there
amt anything about him, Dickens II
do" ANY librarian is delighted to
help every borrower to get the most
good from the library, but, like the
gods, she pleases to help those who
help themselves by being courteous.

oldest of JaiIs.

One of the oldest Of jails is that at
Clifton, Graham county, Ariz., which
lies In one of the copper mining cen
tiers Of the new state. This Jail com
prises four large apartments hewn in
the side of hill Of solid quartz rock.
The entrance is situated in boxlike
vestibule built of heavy masonry and
the gates have three sets of steel bars.
At intervals in the rocky walls holes
to serve as windows have been blast
ed and in these apertures series Of
massive bars of steel has been fitted
firmly in the rock. The floor Of this
rockbound Jail is of cement. The
prisoners are confined wholly in the
larger apartments. In certain places
the wall of quartz about the jail is no
less than fifteen feet in thickness. So
solid and heavy are the barriers to
this institution that no prisoner has
ever attempted escape.-Harper's

ga typical American girl, young and

With a queenly gesture she silenced

These direct efforts have been sup

goes up in behalf of millions of the
best food fishes of the interior waters,
and the cry it responded to by the
agents of the fisheries service, who
seine out the temporary ponds and
pools left in, open places by the re-
ceding floods and restore the fishes to
the main streams.
One important point in increasing
the fish food supply is the encourage
ment of the utilization of many kinds
of good fish which are now neglected.
Our fasGdious tastes and the abun-
dance Of our water products have
caused us to discard many excellent
resources which other nations have
utilizing for many centuries. A recent
inquiry by me has shown that each
years over 100000 pounds of sim
gle fish now caught in our east coast
fisheries are thrown away, not a single
pound being sold or consumed. Yet

Gently begun to recognize their value.
Our people were once even more
wasteful of food fishes than they are
today. ! remember to have seen as a
boy the shores OF the Potomac river
below Mount Vernon piled with the
remains of sturgeon, whose meat is
now relished. but which the fisher
man at that time threw away. Some
of the fishes weighed as much as $50
pounds, and one OF that size caught
today, now that the sturgeon is almost
extinct in our coastal river, would
give a fisherman a fair income for al
most an entire season. The time will

Pickets Saved ChiId's Life.

Falling three stories to be unhurt,
a two-year-old child named Phillips
had a notable escape from death at
Weehawken, N. j., the other day. The
child had been left alone for few
moments in a room of his parents
house, when he climbed on chair in
front of an open window and gazed
out. Later his mother heard a scream
and rushed into the room to find the
child gone. He had crawled out Of
the window and had fallen three sto-
ries. The frightened mother rushed
down the stairs and found the baby
unhurt. He had just grazed a picket
fence and the pickets had caught his
clothing, held him for moment, and
then dropped him gently to the pave
ment.

Washington.-Thatt the United States
bureau of fisheries, even with the
many limitations imposed by law on
its activities, nevertheless is in po-
sition to contribute materially to the
increase of the nations food supply

the opinion of DR.. Hugh M. Smith, the
new commissioner, who in recent days
has been confirmed for the important
office given him by President Wilson
DR.. Smiths appointment was in the
nature of a promotion, and during the
years in which he has served in sub
ordinate positions in the bureau Of
which he is now the head he has be-
come an authority on the work which
the government is doing to increase
the fish food supply of the United
States.

sources, our activities are both direct
and indirect" said Commissioner
Smith in explaining the interest of his
bureau in the cost-of-living problem.
