scHooLcHlLDREN's PENNIES

In New York City s7OOO school children go to school ungry That is only in every twenty, and yet it is 1000 too many It that every of those boys md girls is not having fair chance
 They are denied the physical and mental growth that omes from proper nourshment Their health suffers. The pleasure that belongs to childhood right is Fled by hunger and asstude And the very purpose If the schools is defeated for hungry child cannot earn his lessons.
 The wrong is being partially remedied by he School chools of the poorer districts To the chd's self
 respect penny charged for lunch. And in the opera ion Of his system the authorities have learned fact which should be of service every community fin the country.
 Many of the pupils hungry and incapable of at enton and memory from sheer lack food But others are in similar condition simply because of improper food. Their mothers have fed them unwsely. else they spent their pennies for cheap candy pickles ndigestble pastry and other stun sold by petty shop keepers or hawkers Che schoolhouses Now it is found that both classes of children prefer to give their pennies for nourishing soup and sand wiohes Their instinct is right When they have an opportunity to buy real food cheapy both the poor pupils to whom the penny lunch the chief meal of the day and those who are pentifuly foolishly at home viii invest in the wholesome food rather than the pickles or pastry And the result is immediately in bette tealth and improved school work

PHOENIX. Dec. 9--Although the full text of Gov. Hunts reply to Sec retary Bryan's inquiry as to what steps would be taken to prevent the eighty per cent law from going into effect will not be made public until further advices are received from Washington. 1t became known yester- day that the governor expressed him. self as unwilling to defer his procla. nation in view fthe fact that the law had been adopted by the voters of the state.

HAVBE, Dec. 12 A quick com. mandl from General Bertrand at Haecht turned a retreat of the Bel. gian forces into an attack In much the same manner as General Sheridan turned tue Union forces at the battle of Winchester in the Civil War.

 Electrified by their leaders words the soldiers wheeled about and charged the German troops with re- newed vigor.
 On Another occasion the general is declared to have stopped an attack on two Belgian companies upon each other by rushing between their lines and singing a popular ditty. Until they heard the generals voice the soldiers did not realize that they were firing on their own countrymen.

that it is ready to cut very early in

Deep Breathing and Beauty.

Kmckerbocker Press: The Hindu,
always connect the breath of the body
with the health and beauty or dis
ease Of the spirit, and in giving in
Structions in the occult principles of
breathing they tell how health, beauty
and pureness of heart may be obtained
by combining the thought and the wish
Cf the heart with the exercise. With
the intaking breath all the beautiful
qualities, whatever they may be, are
asked for-they may be physical and
spiritual loveliness and immunity from
poverty; they may specify wisdom,
cheerfulness, usefulness and opulence.
The breather wishes the fair thing
while filling the lungs and abdomen
fully; in letting out the breath the
unbeautiful things are mentally ban
ished, such as physical or spiritual
poverty. selfishness, unseemliness Of
the body, etc. According to these
teachers Of the divinity of the breath
for it is esteemed part of Cod
early morning and in the quiet Of
evening just before sleep are the best
times for these exercises. unless they
can always be taken in the open air
But, ignoring the religious sentiment
the Orientals connect with the body's
Lreath, it is a medical fact that deep

adequate breathing-improves the cir
culat;on and so affects the mind. 1t

LOvable Women of India.

Rochester Union and Advertiser;
The high caste women of India arc
Interesting and lovable, declares Mrs
Mary Rhodes Baker of Ongole, In.
dia, who for twenty years with her
husband has done missionary worb
there. Next fall MI and Mrs. Bake,
viii ace their daughter and son in
schools in Rochester. They will re
turn tc India in 1915 leaving THEN
children to be educated here.
The high caste women live in zen
raner, Mrs Baker says, and never
leave them unaccomp2nied or I'M
yeile.i She has been very fortunate
in hrr acquaintance with this class
and says these women will listen all
day tc Bible reading and other mis-
sion work if the workers have the
time to give them. The meetings usu-
ally last two or three hours. The
Zennana woman is Il good hOuseleep-
er and mother, and is anxious to learn
all she can from her Occidental sis
ter.
During twenty years work in the
territory of Ongole, Mrs. Baker has
met many serious problems, but she
thinks, in summing it up, that the way
has been wonderously eased. In many
of the villages the Brahmins, which
class is at the head of all government
positions. have heartily welcomed her
and her husband.
"Often they have not only compelled
the people to clean the streets, bu.
have met us at the outskirts with 4
band of music, escorting us as though
we were of the royal household" Mrs.
Baker added "Of course this does
rot always occur, but sufficiently oft
en- to make us feel that the workers
are appreciated.
The work of Rev. and Mrs. Baker
extends over a distance Of 1000 square
miles. Many of the workers in the
Ongoie field take care of the poorer |
class, and for years the zenana |
would have nothing to do with |
he missionaries. The work has
grown to such an extent that the time
is now ripe for hospital, and during |
their stay in their home country Rev.
md Mrs. Baker will work toward
his end.

Three New Vegetables.

Hartford Times: No longer is the
cdor of cooking cabbage to invade
every crack and corner of a house,
and the ADVERT eements of future
boarding houses may respectfully cali
attention to the fact that odorless cab
Iages are used, for which no extra
Charge is made. Or, the facetious
country editor, in his local jottings,
viii wish the readers to note that
there is q great demand for rooms
down to Jones' house, because she's
feeding the boarders petsai, a sort Of
sanctified cabbage, which is minus the
evil odor for which the common va
Iliety is noted"
Still petsai bears but little family
resemblance to the cabbage, for in
stead of being round and squatty, it is
tall and stately, shaped somewhat on
the order Of a handbell. The leaves
are something like those Of Cos let
tuce, narrow and curled on the edges,
clustering around the stalk and very
easily pulled off, Petsai will grow in
any soil which grows cabbages, but
what is more to the point it will also
grow whore cabbages fail. Another
valuable feature Of this new vegetable
is that it need not be started either in
in a hot bed or cold frame, but the
seed may be planted on the spot in
which it is to grow and mature. More
over, petsai may be sown in the au
tumn, thus succeeding another early
maturing crop. The weight of full
grown petsai sometimes reaches fifty
or sixty pounds, but if quality and not
quantity is desired those weighing
from eight to ten pounds will be found
the best. The flavor of this new inn
pOrtation far exceeds that of the cab
bage and in addition to fulfilling all
the culinary functions of the cabbage
it makes an excellent salad.
From Japan comes a new vegetable
in the form of a giant radish, or scar
let turnip, also capable of being grown
in any garden soil suited to radishes.
In size and shape our japanese radish
bears comparison to large grape
fruit, only it is crimson in color, and
so rapid in it's growth that it may be
planted late in the summer and yet
be ready for market before winter.
This giant radish often puzzles the
most discerning eye, for it may ap-

JoSePf1 II. KNOW LANO
Republican Candida for u. S. Sena ate
after having secured the adoption Of
the free tolls provision as part of the
Panama Canal Act, won him national
recognition. In spite of the repeal of
the free tolls provision by the present
national administration, Knowland was
successful in the insertion of the
clause in the act which makes the
canal real competitor of the trans
continental railroads.
OF more local interest is Knowlands
undivided stand against tariff reduc-
tions, which have so severely injured
the industries of California, and which
are largely responsible for the exist
ing business depression.
He has aided river and harbor pro-
jects in every section of California.
Women throughout the State are
supporting Knowland, owing to his
advocacy of equal suffrage fourteen
years ago in the State Legislature,
and owing to his fight on the floor OF
Congress in behalf of an amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States providing for universal equal
suffrage. He has also taken an active
part in state and national legislation
for the suppression of the white slave
traffic.
People of all parties realize the
need of an experienced legislator to
represent California in the United
States Senate. Knowland is the man.
