Missionary Notes
BY THE SOCIETY.

Mr.. Chi Chu Mich, a wealthy
native resident Of Shanghi,
China. has given a site of land
as the site of a boys school.
The donor makes the condition
that moral teaching be made a
special part of the course of
study. He declared he has been
so impressed by the lack of NOR
al training in the Chinese educa-
tional system that he desires to
have the youths of his country
given the advantage of that of
the Christian system.
A missionary from Argentina
writes that the conversion of
Micheal Vallespy is worthy of
mention. He is a Spaniard,
fifty-six years of age, who assas-
sinated a woman in cold blood
and tried to kill two others. He
was condemned to death but es-
capped from France, where the
crime was committed. and lived
four years in hiding when he
came to Argentina, where he
heard the gospel and accepted
Christ as his Savior. He then
went back to France, delivered
himself to the authorities and
asked punishment that his deed
deserved.

PUSHES TRUST MEASURE
Newlands Names Senate Subcommit.
tee to Consider Interstate
Trade Commission.

Senator Newlands, chairman of the in
terstate commerce committee, with
view to expediting trust legislation. has
appointed subcommittee to consider and
make report on the pending bill to
create an interstate trade commission.
This course was determined upon after
a tentative trade commission bill had been
before the committee for more than a
month and had been encompassed by
such a flood of amendments that it will
require much work to whip the measure
into satisfactory shape. On the subcom-
mittee are Senators Newlands, Pomerene
Robinson, Salisbury, Cummins. Brande-
gee and Townsend. The appointment of
Senator Cummins indicated healing Of
the breach which occurred several weeks
ago, when the Iowa senator left the COM
mittee room after learning that demo-
cratic members had voted down several
of his proposed amendments to the bill.
When the subcommittee will make re-
port cannot be predicted at this time, and
it is probable that another subcommittee
soon will be named to consider other
phases Of the proposed trust legislation.

EXPERT GIVES HIS VIEWS
+. OF PASTEURIZED MILK
Says Nutritive Value of Product Is
Not Impaired by Scien-
tific Processes. .

Ivan Comings Weld. former expert in
milk for the dairy division Of the Agri-
cultural Department, has prepared a
pamphlet giving the result of observa-
lions regarding the nutritive value of
pasteurized and raw milk in the stations
which were supported and conducted by
George NJ. Oyster. jr., from April, 1911,
to October. 1913
Mr.. Weld reaches the conclusion that no
injury to the nutritive properties of milk
results from modern scientific pasteuriza-
ton
His findings are are follows:
THE slightly greater rate of gain in
weight made by babies when given pas
teurized milk may possibly be attributed
to the destruction of certain possible dis
turbing elements which, if present in milk
not perfectly pasteurized. may tend to re-
tard digestion or prevent the fullest pos
sible assimilation of the milk.
Increase in Weight of Infants.
THE. actual difference in rate of in
crease in weight of the babies would seem
to be convincing evidence that proper
pasteurization does not impair the digesti-
bility Of milk, or cause any possible in
jury to the nutritive properties of milk
that can be detected even when used for
infant feeding.
The decidedly greater rate of increase
in weight of ITO babies when fed on pas
teurized milk over the rate of increase of
the same babies when fed on raw milk
would seem to be corroborative and con-
elusive evidence that no possible injury
to the nutritive properties of milk actually
takes place as a result of modern scien-
tific pasteurization. and that even the best
supplies Of raw milk may. at times be
improved by such a process

Miss Van Buren, believes that, like all
charity, the one characterized as Junior
civics" should begin at home. She be-
lieves that there can be no ideal citizen
ship without affection for and loyalty to
the home, and that affection and loyalty
grow only out OF service. Her gospel is
the gospel of service, and in it's practical
working out she begins with the home
plot. or with the roof or the back porch
if there is not bit of ground.
DAY Of the Child
Talking with a reporter for The Star
today at the office of the American Civic
Association in the Union Trust building,
Miss Van Buren, pointed out that this is
the day. of the child She said that his
tory does not record time when the
child at play. the child at work. the
child in all his or her moods and inter
ests was given the thought and encour-
agement that he she is today.
Following the big and splendid move
ment for Fairgrounds Miss Van Buren,
said there has come demand from
parents and teachers. social workers and
mere lookers-on for the development of
another side of the child's Activities
demand for a better balance between the
play instinct and the natural propensity
of the child to work. t-~
There is the feeling in many quarters
that the community is overindulging its
children, and is making Of them greedy
clamorers for more and more public
amusement and entertainment. TO offset
the instability, the spirit of restlessness
and dfscontents that follow in tho path
of the pleasure seeking mob, thinking
people are devising ways and means of
drawing children into active, service Tor
their cities, thereby creating a more in
telligent citizenship in return for the Law
ish gifts of the community.
From coast to coast and from Canada
TO Mexico come requests like these: What
shall We do to instil in the child an at
lection for his home and his city, How
can We best teach patriotism? How shall
we set about organizing our children into
practical working civic bodies? Does the
Junior Civic League meet the problem?
The American Civic Association. with
Headquarters in Washington. receives
letters daily with pleas for help along this
line-letters from schools, from clubs
from individuals. To meet the urgent
demand this association has placed spe-
cial emphasis upon it's Junior work-a
work right in line with its efforts to
make America more sanitary and love-

All Alike Affected.

What affects the home and its sur
roundings affects the whole community
whether it be contamination from foul
hooks and corners or physical attractive
ness in some small boys garden.
From even the smallest of city plots the
child may gain much and may give much
Not to be lightly considered is the work
in the open and contact with the soil
exercise that spells good red blood. alert
ness and contentment. The home plot
offers opportunities beyond compare for
the development of the faculties. Here
the child gets a reader grasp Of world
conditions than books can possibly teach
the reasons for the varied plant and
animal life in different regions-because
it is here that he sees with his own eyes
the workings OF nature. the effect Of sun
shine and rain. of sunlessness and
drought, of fertilization OF the soil. upon
his own growing things.
THE volumes that are written today
on injurious insects, a subject that is
vexing the mind and soul Of the practical
farmer and ,horticulturist, make no i'm
preston upon the child until he comes
face to face with the depredations of
these pests in his own garden. And at
