Governor Mann, of Virginia, will
call to order in Houston, Texas,
the fourth session of the Southern
Sociological Congress. This con.
vention will be unique in three
respects. II is primarily a Con-

sions and vocations interested in
social welfare. There will be
present the Governors of several
Southern States, Congressman,
Mayors, Presidents of colleges
and universities, leading Minis
tiers and Physicians. Social Work.
ers. officials of Women's Clubs
and hundreds of laymen who de-
sire to promote the cause of Pub.
lie Health.
The program is unique. This is
the first time in the history of
America when the entire program
of a great congress has been on
tfe one theme Of the prevention
of disease and the conservation Of
health. About seventy specialists
are on the program to speak on
the conservation of health, physi-
cal, mental and moral. Even the
exhibit, the moving pictures, and
the singing will be on health. The
Vanderbilt Quartettc will lead the
singing of social hymns and the
congress will frequently sing
battle hymn specially written for
this health crusade, to be sung to
the tune of "Tipperary".

Considerable surprise was oc-
casioned last week by the placing
of the Chicago, Rock Island 4
Pacific Railroad Company in the
hands of receiver. The imme-
diate cause was the inability Of
the company to meet a bill for
supplies for som ething like $751;
600. In consenting to the appoint.
ment OF a receiver the company
also acknowledged its inability to
meet short term notes amounting
10 about 100000 and maturing
on May 1. This system operates
5000 miles of track; it is capi-
talized for S74 GOO, 600 and it i, said
to be the largest railroad corpora
ton ever placed in the hands Of q
receiver in the United States.

Then there is the kitchen gar.
den. Nature has pr vided for an
abundance OF vegetables during
the summer season because at
that season of the year vegetables
constitute the ideal diet for the
human system. When warm
weather comes oE meats are heat
ing and should. therefore, be eaten
sparingly, while vegetables meet
the situation precisely, both from
a hygienic standpoint, and from
the stanpoint of the gourmet.
So no one should be without

garden should be expanded to
enable it to produce a little more.
than is necessary for the family
subsistence and few lunches or
crates for the market, it will be
all the better.
