EVIL CONDITIONS FOUND
IN PENNA. ALMSHOUSES
Investigators Declare Sixty-Day
Law Was Violated in 300
Instances

The "60-day" law. which prohibits the
keeping of normal children in almshouses
for more than two months, was violated
in more than 300 instances during the
last year, according to the Russell Sage
Foundation, of New York, which has just
completed an investigation of the child
welfare work in this State.
The report of the organization asserts
that in numerous instances children were
forced to live in close proximity to idiots
and insane persons, while In some aims
houses they were forced TO associate with
persons having loathsome diseases,
vicious morals and the extremely aged.
An instance Of the conditions found by
the investigators is illustrated in the fol-
lowing extract from the report In refer
ence to conditions at the county home
at woodville. Allegheny County, where
the children had no separate quarters for
sleeping or playing:
"The sanitary conditions were particu-
larly Objectionable; one room In which
10 babies and little girls and four women
were crowded day and night contained
toilet built into one corner and sepa-
rated from the room by n thin wooden
partition. The only provision for ventila-
ton in this housekeeping room, as in
the other rooms where the children slept,
was by windows which were rarely
opened; the heating was by gas, and the
air was foul.
Little boys over years old slept in the
open ward occupied by disabled men
cripples, paralytics and locomotor ataxia
cases. During the day these little fellows
had no place in which to play except the
sitting room. where the men smoked and
played cards. The visitor to this insti-
tuition found 40 children between the ages
of and 16 standing about in listless
groups"
In conclusion, the reports urges the
adoption of a State program for child
welfare. and suggests that the various
charitable institutions of the state meet
to outline course for future action. The
report also embodies n proposed chill
dren's CODE" calling for radical changes
in the legislation which now allows in
sanitary and abhorrent conditions to pre-
vail in the almshouses of the State.

ROASTING OYSTERS A MERRY
GAME FOR CREOLE BELLIES

TN OLD Creole days 1t was the custom
i to have parties at which the bellies
and beaux contested in a very unique
game. This. while serving TO give plenty
of merriment and an opportunity for shy
little fiirtations on the side, had the
added advantage of supplying the most
important part of the refreshments. The
Southern method of roasting oysters Is
given below, and the hostess who Is
looking for something new in the way of
entertainment will do well to remember
this recipe.
Roasted oysters - Take three dozen
large, fat oysters; clean the shells thor
oughly, set them on the top of the stove
or place in baking pan until the shells
are easily removed. Remove the HAT
outer shell, butter the oyster in the deep
shell and serve very hot with salt and
pepper. The baking only takes few
minutes.
Creole oyster fritters-Take dozen
large oysters, drain them in colander
and remove carefully any pieces of shell
or grit that may adhere. Chop the oysters
fine. Take 2 eggs and beat until very
light, then add cup of milk and rub in
smoothly 2 cups OF -four and teaspoon
full OF good baking powder, Mix well
and then drop in the oysters, which must
be dry. Then drop into boiling oil or
lard. When Drowned on one side turn on
the other, being careful not to use a
fork or to pierce them, as that would
render the oysters and fritters heavy,
Use a SKINNER in removing from the pot.

The Crimson Ivy

a great oak tree.

la Medatrice" is the charmingly
significant name given to old Creole
oyster loaf. The idea is that any hus-
band who is detained downtown or dis
pleases his better half in any way may
bring home this "peacemaker," as the
Creoles call 1t, and be forgiven. Be that
as it may, here is the recipe: Take deli
cate loaves Of French bread and cut off
lengthwise the upper portion. Dig the
crumbs out of the centre, leaving the
sides and bottom like a small box. Brush
this box on all sides with melted butter
and place in a quick oven. Fill with
broiled or creamed oysters. Cover with
each other and serve.
