WEISKOPF PARENT-TEACHERs
MEETING.

The first regular meeting Of the
Parent-Teachers' Association of the
Weiskopf Gillett schools occurred on
FRIDAY afternoon at 4 0 clock. After
the regular routine work, there were
several musical numbers rendered by
the eighth grade pupils, then the speak
er Ter the occasion was introduced.
The subject under discussion was sThe
Care and Nourishment of the Child. n
The speaker was Dir. Adams of the
sanltarum. tie gave a most interest
ing and instructive talk to the mothers
on now to battle the child, what to feed
him, and how to care for him when he
mad taken cold. His suggestions
were very practical and in connection
with bathing suggested small ordi-
nary sprinkling can would accomplish
che same result when no shower bath
was possible. He gave an illustration
showing how to care for colds and
urged proper cooking of foods and
kinds to be given. He also stated that
children do not drink enough water
and said it would be a good thing for
children if they could form in line
every hour in the day and pass to the
fountain for a drink. DR.. Adams
talk was one which every mother ought
to hear and perhaps at some joint
Parent-Teachers meeting he ray con-
sent to give it ~ain. Refreshments
were served at the close of the talk by
the entertainment committee and all
present report a very enjoyable time.

Ancient Breakfast Foods.

We moderns look ON breakfast foods
as of the blessings, or curses, of
civilization. 1t is always easy to d.
vide man into two classes according
to his way of thinking about break
fast foods. He belongs either to the
class that thinks the Scotch produced
such men as Burns and Sir Walter
Scott because of or in spite of their
fondness for oatmeal Those who
belongs to the "in-spite-of" class
think that breakfast foods aid and
abet softenfng teeth, anemia, poor
digestion and nervousness. The ''be-
cause-of'' class looks on breakfast
foods as the mainstay of life.
Whatever we think of breakfast
foods n9ostSof us kaink them a modern
characteristic, They are not.
In the Canary Islands ever since
fourteen hundred and something, the
natives have eaten a breakfast food
called gofio, which is made from
wheat and barley In times when the
wheat or barley crop has failed they
have used other edible grains in the
preparation of this food, SO they have
had plenty of variety.

Iron ore for 200 Years.

There is still considerable amount
OF iron ore in the ground, as shown
by report on the worlds resources
presented at the International Geol-
ogical congress at Stockholm. It was
estimated that the total actual supply
of iron ore existing in deposits that
can be worked at an economic profit
amounts to 22,40s, 00e,o90 long tons.
representing 1912, eee,e tons of
iron.
This total would supply the require
ments of the world for considerably
less than two centuries, even were
the present rate OF output not eX-
ceeded on the average However. the
potential resources of the world not
vet developed are estimated to
amount to 1897 ,eee, eco tons of ore.
The output of iron ore in 1912 is esti-
mated at 146, oeO, 600 tons for the ten
principal countries. j.

THURSDAY, APRIL %, 1914.

The greater part Of the annual fire
waste in the United States, amounting
to nearly $250,0O0,00O year, is due
to carelessness. Much of this is per
sonal, for which property owners are
directly responsible, and much is muni
cipal, through the liberation by the
authorities of dangerously infammable
construction, laxity in the enforce
ment of building ordinances and the
regulation of explosives and infaiu
mables, failure to insist upon rubbish
being cleaned up, etc The average
citizen should have impressed upon him
his personal responsibility for his
share of the preventable fire waste of
the country which is draining the ma
tional wealth Every man can at least
see that paper, old boxes and rubbish
are not allowed to accumulate in dan
gerous places or out-of the-way corn
ers, and can keep an eye on his light
ing and heating appliances. If these
alone are attended to properly nearly
half the fires could be prevented In
foreign countries the owner Of proper
ty is made responsible for fires original
ing on his premises and can be held
for damages done the propert Of his
neighbors. American independence
may not yet be ready for such de-
gree of regulation, but it's necessity
could be avoided if each citizen would
feel his personal responsibility with
out waiting for law to enforce it.

JokERs HAD THEIR INNINGS
Telephone Prank That Left English
Office Man Decidedly Not in the
Best of Humor.

z Before the eyes of leading London
stock broker there appeared for a
few brief moments visions of for.
tune, fame and honor. He was sit
ting in his Office when the telephone
bell rang
Hello" he answered.
e h, that is Mr.. Blank, is it not?
Why do you smoke your cigars
through hol5.r?"
In some establishment the broker
put his cigar down
No, no, do not put it down, and
If you do, find an ash tray for it."
This was so uncanny he shifted
his chair slightly from the instru-
ment
DO not move away" continued the
voice, and do not tug so impatiently
at your mustache'
Down went his hand.
Who on earth are your" shouted
the broker, and how do you know
what | am doing with my cigar and
hand? You talk as if you could see
me-"
An amazing reply came:
Il can see you. There you are,
twitching your tie straight. AS a
matter of fact, have invented an in
strument which enables you to see
over telephone wire, and / am talk
ing to you because / cannot finance
the idea myself and want you to float
1t on half shares"
The possibilities of the scheme
were immense. The broker, for an
instant, saw himself dealing in vast
orders for government departments.
He saw big orders for foreign rights.
1t was one of the miracles of mod
ern science. The capitalist would
make fortune, and-then he glanced
out Of the window across the street.
Beaming down at him from a win
dow, overlooking his Office, was a
row of grinning faces. among which
he recognized two or three fellow
members Of the house.
Hastily he slammed down the re-
ceiver. The rosy visions faded away,
and sadly he drew back out of sight.

The board of health and the mem
bers of the council are impressed with
the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing rigid
system of inspection of all animals
slaughtered for local consumption. 1t
has been suggested that this duty
should be added to the Office of city
sealer of weights and measures and if
a way can be found to do this the sit
uation viii be met without any addi-
tional expense to the city. Most of the
meat that comes into the city has to
pass the federal inspection made by the
government officials at the great pack
ing houses, but there is a suspicion
thaS some of the butchers who cater
principally to the trade of the foreign
population of the city have killed
animals in their establishments and
exposed meat for sale in the city
thatB could never have passed the fed
eral INSPECTORS. If this is being done
the very element that needs protection
most is not getting it.
