Silent Companions
BY LILLIAN RUSSELL.

A little story I heard the other day
about good old clergyman amused

the frequency with which people are
judged by their silent companions.

The clergyman frequently sent
magazines to some Of his relatives.
They preferred pictures to reading
matter. and the minister always bore
this in mind In making his contribu-
lions On one occasion he went to his
book store and, being in n hurry hc
asked the clerk to select a number OF

Tomorrow s Menu
BY MARTHA MISSIONER.

AZ feast day should always be
preceded by fast for spiritual physi
cal or economic reasons, 1t Is fitting
that weli-balanced vegetable menus
should be provided for the day before
Christmas. In lieu OF meat, some OF
the "proteins' or tissue building foods
suggested are cheese, eggs, nuts and
beans. The difference in the cost will
give the thrifty house wife an oppor-
tunity to provide some additional It'd
bit for the Christmas dinner. These
meals are for six PERSONS.

PLEA FOR NEW COPS JoLTED
Chief Gleason's plans for a bunch
of new police went up. in smoke last
night when the finance committee
deferred action on the matter: It
vii now come up in the regular
budget. -:
The 1915 budget, after some Sc
we're cutting, is still about 100000
over the estimated revenues for the
year. This does not include any new
cops or stations.
Gleason now has only two chances
of getting more men on the streets.
He may cut down the expenses of
the police department until a sur
plus can be found to pay salaries
for new policemen.
His other hope is that on Jan. city
policemen now working for the coun-
ty be withdraw and put upon beats.

then whine when we pay for our in
difference by the wave of crime they
inaugurate when they are driven by
hunger to desperation? Are we going
to shut our hearts, to their pleading

our penitentiaries with the material
that might have made us proud if we
had not been so Indifferent?
There are many thousands of these
"chanceless" boys right here in, Chi

they crowd the boys court; they
overflow the institutions and they
walk beside you and me On the streets

They do not ask our charity; they
have a boys contempt for aims, but
every one of them has trembling on
his lips the query: what will you
do for me?" And if that query goes
unanswered, they will answer them
selves our query: "How will you pay
us back?"
Can we afford to let them drift?
They are the material we depend on
for our future citizens. Are they to
be men or have we decided to let
them be muckers? The answer is
ours! = a,..
