DISCUSS RELATION or FOOD TO
MORALS.

Mrs. c. I. Thompson led the discus
sion a; the October meeting Of the
pure food and household economies
department OF the Woman's club yes
terday afternoon in the pariors OF the
Masonic temple. The topic was Food.
It's Relation TO Morals and Intellect
and Mrs. Thompson presented q very
interesting discussion OF the subject
She said in part. The science OF the
human body has failed 10 keep pace
with other sciences. Medicine bnd
surgery have made enormous strides
and We are becoming very adept IN
the art Of curing people, but are Just
beginning 20 discover the science OF
keeping well. thereby securing the
greatest amount OF physical and intel
Icctual efficiency.
Efforts toward the Improvement OF
the human body a. a first class work
ing and thinking machine must be di-
rected towards the Improvement Of its
food or motive power. Much atten-
rfcn is being given at the present time
In the proper feeding of the mentally
deficient and criminal classes \ nor
NAL man is a good man. hence the
criminal Is abnormal Most up TO date
peuaI and reformatOry institutions rec
ognize this fact and are seeking nat
ursl cause for irregularity of conduct
and crime.
New York has several institutions
that make q special study OF the Grim
inal and feeble minded. Bedford re-
fcrmatory for criminal women mas
been most successful in carrying on
this work It's inmates are girls and
women of the street who have swerv-
ed not a little from the paths of yir-
tue. Upon entering the institution
they are subjected TO a scientific Binet
test OF ability and mentality. II Is
pertinent fact that IS per cent are
mentally deficient In varying degrees
Proper nourishment and suitable en-
vironment have worked wonders for
these women. Miss Catherine Davis,
who mas been in charge OF this insti-
tuition for , years. was recently hon
orsd with the appointment of commits

Ct these reform and penal institutions
are drawn from the slums and tene-

tenements come into the world appar-
emily normal. but because Of poverty
and lack OF two free gifts of nature

sOcn stopped The children's break
fast generally consists OF bread, tea

practically without nourishment. New

dollars in forcing education upon the

Pumpkins can be used for the lights
until all the guests are assembled.
Have as much variety in the Jack-o-
lanterns as possible. Cut one to look
like a Chinaman, with twisted black
paper cue. Another can be decorated
with feathers for an Indian. If the
rooms are large and there is a double
door. get small shock of corn or oats
and put some pumpkins on the floor
beside it. Autumn leaves and grasses
and ears of corn braided together
make attractive decorations. Have a
draped ghostly figure stand by the
door to silently welcome the guests.
Put a stick in an old white kid glove
and stuff the glove full of cotton
around the stick. The person who
represents @le ghost is TO hold the
stick in his hand and shake hands
with the guests. The cold kid glove
gives a distinct shoca in the dim light.
If there is room have a fortune telling
booth. The fortunes can be prepared
beforehand and should be edged with
black. Make them as ridiculous as
possible and put them in envelopes
and address them to the guests. Get
