ABOUT OUR BREAD.

Representative Vollmer Of Iowa has
introduced in Congress a bill paving
the way for the mixing of corn and
wheat in the manufacture of flour.
Such admixture, which formerly
prevailed in the large -four mills, has
virtually ceased because Of a prohibit.

during the Spanish-American war,
and which the Vollmer bill seeks to
repeal.
The bill is being vigorously cham.
pioned by the Representatives of the
large corn-growing States and is as
vigorously opposed by Representa-.
tives from the wheat-producing States.
The health authorities are strongly
opposed to the bill.

WORK OF THE FEDERATED
CHRISTIAN CHARITIES

A month ago there was organized
in Bryan a most worthy institution
TO be known as the Federated Chris
ton Charities. The object OF this
organization is to show the Christ
spirit to all those who are poor and
needy or in unfortunate circum-
stances. Bryan has long needed such
an organization which would do this
worthy work. not that the people OF
Bryan have not always been exceed
ingly liberal and quick to respond to
the needs OF those suffering, but as n
protection to them in their liberality
and TO insure a wise expenditure OF
the funds provided. as we'll as to al
tain the highest efficiency in minis
tering TO the needy. The support OF
this organization has not been as
ready as we had expected, the men,
bership tickets have not sold as we
had hoped they would, and we cannot
but believe that the only reason Is
that the people OF Bryan are not sui
ficiently informed as to the work OF
the charity organization. For that
reason. we are going to use the col
umns Of The Eagle every day to in
form YOU. and as soon as YOU feel that
this organization Is worthy OF your
support we hope YOU will lose no time
in seeing a member OF the committee
and securing your membership card
by paying one dollar. We need your
support. The officers of this fedora
ton are taken from the most promi-
nent men and women Of Bryan and
the work is being done in a most
satisfactory and efficient manner. We
have launched a great work and shall
EXPECT a correspondingly great sup
rort on the part of the good people
Of Brpan
Here IS an instance Of our work;
A certain child in Bryan had
diphtheria and was dangerously Ill.,
The parents were not able TO pay for
the serum necessary 10 save the
child's life A certain individual paid
for S25 worth. but the child needed
more: the federation was appealed to
and gave sos more; later It was neces-
sary to give S25 more. they did not
have towels and bed linen enough to
properly care for the child and on be-
ing informed about 10 o'clock at night
Of that fact steps were taken imme'
diately to supply them, and within
an hour these things were sent down.

serve we were the indirect means OF
saving human life. Is It worth

naturally kept in the Office simply in
order that the school may kcrp rack Of
Johnny. The boy is then informed that
he is excused on certain days from
auditorium for the purpose mentioned.
When the auditorium hour comes and
the children move from the classroom

going 10 the auditorium, leaves the
building and goes 10 the church II he Is
20 take religious instruction. or home
II he is 10 take private music lessons.
Thus far in New York the religious in
structors have met the youngest chill
dren just outside the school gates and
taken them to the church, IN order 70
insure that they reach their destina-
tion safely. This particular feature is
not necessary part of the plan. There
is no reason why other means of in
surfing attendance on these special ac
tiyities should not be devised.
"Third-The schools co-ordinsting
activity shall be limited to advertising
outside activities on the bulletin board
or by any form OF announcement 20
the entire school that shall be open 20
all without discrimination, and to test
ing and reporting the educational value
OF activities that apply for such an
nouncement."
Ii should be remembered that the
school does not and should not under
take TO foster any outside activities or
To evaluate them. The only aim IL 10
provide periods evenly distributed
throughout the day from which chill
dren can be excused on the request of
their parents, no child being excused
for more than one period day.
"Fourth-While upon the school
premises teacher or school officer or
visitor shall make no inquiry Of chill
dren regarding church attendance or
enrolment therefor, and no discrimina-
ton among the children on religious
grounds, and any person violating this
rule after warning shall be dismissed
from school employment or forbidden

This suggestion Is evidently made in
order TO prevent any possible chance OF
proselytizing, and OF course every
means should be taken to prevent
proselytizing. But, as suggested a
previous article, the religious organi-
cations themselves can doubtless be re-
lied upon TO automatically check this
tendency in each other. You remember
the old adage.
