of the following foods: Pork in any
form, or sailed meats or sailed fish;
cabbage, onions, celery, radishes, let
tuce, cucumbers or raw tomatoes; hot
breads, or griddle cakes, sweet cakes,
pastry, syrups, or jellies; nuts or can
dies; bananas, nor any green or over
ripe fruit; tea, coffee, wine, beer, cider
or soda water. Mothers are apt to err
chiefly in the matter of sweets in feed
ing children. An excess of sweet food,
not only upsets the young stomach but
destroys partially the appetite for plain
food.
Children should be taught to eat sim
pie, well-cooked food, but should not
be forced to eat when they have no
appetite. If a child shows a disinclin-
alton to eat some special food, which
he ought to have, this should be given
first at the meal, even if only a small
quantity is eaten. Do not fall into the
error of scolding the child at meal
times, which should be one of the pleas
ATTEST hours of the day, full of fun and
joy. A little judieious coaxing will
usually result in the child's taking the
right food in sufficient quantity.
Methods of preparing meats, vege-
tables and soups for young children are
given in Infant Care, a little book,
which is sent free to all who ask for
it, addressing the request to the Chief

local community, since cases under the
prohibition law may come up in any
court, from justice court to circuit
court.
Of course, now that the secret is out,
there will be countless claims of prior
discovery. Indeed, history would seem
to afford some notable instances of
cases in which courtrooms have been
"packed' with mobs bent on swaying
judge and jury to their side. But it
can probably be demonstrated that
these were instances in which the I'M
regenerate elements of the community
gathered together to secure their own
selfish evil ends. Mr.. Hutton, on the
contrary, proposes the organization of
the "truly righteous for the purpose
of showing that it will be healthier for
all officially concerned, to follow the
wishes of the courtroom audience
("mob" would seem the wrong term
in such connection), the law and the
evidence to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. But one case occurs to the men,
DRY in which the "better elements"
have exerted their power in such a way.
This was where the chest citizens" of
a Southern city somewhat spontaneous
ly crowded a courtroom, day after day,
demanding the blood of a prisoner in
the dock, in which demand they were
entirely successful. For though, after
conviction, sentence of death was COM
muted by a governor who was swayed
by old-fashioned notions of the law and
the conduct of courts, the object of
their wrath was ultimately seized and
expeditiously ,lynched.
And this, be it observed, was a muir
der not liquor case, though occurring
in a prohibition. State. So Mr.. Hut
tons right of invention, so to speak,
should be acknowledged "Better an
hour of justice than a century of pray
en-" say the Mohammedans. How
many centuries of useless prayer will be
saved when Mr.. Hutton IS scheme gets
in full working order!

CARE OF THE BABY.
After the Second Year.
ARTICLE NUMBER TWO.


When the baby reaches the third
year he should be fed four times a day
at regular intervals, having the heavi-
est meal in the middle of the day.
1t is of the utmost importance to
teach him to chew his food carefully
and thus to take plenty of time at his
meals. But since his tiny teeth can
only partly masticate his food, this
should be properly prepared for him.
Meat should be cut into small pieces,
vegetables either mashed or put
through the colander, and all the cores,
skins and seeds should be removed
from fruits.
He should not be allowed to drink
while eating solid food, lest he fall into
the habit of washing down his food
before it is thoroughly chewed, as do
so many of his elders.
The following foods are recommend
ed for children from two to three
years; and daily program is suggest
ed for the convenience of the mothers:
7:30 a. m: Cereal-Well-cooke oat,
wheat or corn preparation, with thin
cream or milk and very little sugar.
Cereals should be cooked three hours
in a double boiler, and favored with a
little salt when being cooked.
Glass of whole milk, warmed in the
cool months of the year.
Egg, soft boiled, poached or coddled.
Toast, or dry bread and butter.
1000 a. m: Fruit-Use one orange
and strain the juice; or a baked apple,
and two graham crackers; or
Warm milk, one glass, with dry bread
or toast.
200 p. M: Vegetable soup, one tea
cupful; or, meat broths with rice or
arrowroot.
Meat-Beef, mutton, or chicken,
broiled, roasted, or boiled; or, fish.
cut into small pieces, favored with a
little salt; use no pepper, sauces or
condiments.
Potato-Baked, mashed, with a lit
tie salt, butter and milk, or salt and
cream; or, boiled rice or spaghetti, both
thoroughly cooked; with butter or
cream.
Green vegetables-Either carrots, as
paragus, string beans, peas, spinach,
young beets, or squash, each cooked
until very soft, with little salt in the
water; strained through a colander or
mashed.
Dessert-Apple tapioca pudding, or
baked apple, or apple sauce or stewed
prunes, or plain custard, or junket.
Drink-Water. No milk at this meal.
Stale bread, with butter.
600 p. m: Bread and milk; or &C.

A FAITHFUL SERVANT AT REST.


Mrs. G. c.. Jefferson, the second
daughter of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Rob
ert NJ. Beaver, was born in Baltimore,
Nd, March "a, 1870, and departed this
life Jan. Is, 1916, at the age of 40
wears and months. She acquired her
education in the public schools of Bal
timore, Nd, and graduated from the
high school in 1890. She taught in the
city public schools two years. She was
a member of the Madison street Pres
bvterian church, and in 1891 she was
united in marriage to Rev. G. Lee JEFF
ferson, the pastor of the second Pres
bvterian church of West Chester, Pa.
Though young, she soon endeared her
self to the hearts of the people, and
became a mighty factor in the sue
cessful work of the pastor, and for
more than a quarter of a century she
was his patient, loving, humble, faith
full hleper in the Lord IS work, though
burdened with a weak body. Yet, she
never faltered in doing more than her
physical strength could bear, to eneour-
age the family in Christian work.
About three months ago her many
friends began to note marked fail
ing in her bodily health, and she was
placed under special medical care with
the hope that health would be restored.
Like the ftful shining of the sun
through the clouds in springtime, her
vitality vibrated between hope and
dependency, until on New Year IS
night she was attacked by the lagrippe,
and for Is days she was confined to her
bed, but last Saturday she was able to
move about. Sunday she sat and well
coined her friends in her parlor, and
on Monday she arose feeling quite free
from all pain and hopeful that all dan
ger past. She moved about the house
in her usual way, helping and eneour-
aging the family. About nine O'Clock
Monday night she found shortness of
breath growing on her. Every known
means available was used for relief,
but without avail. When at 1870 p. m.
the burden was too heavy to carry fur
Their, she said: "I have nothing to
dread; l have no fear, only wish 1
could get some relief" The Blessed
Savior heard the cry of his saint, said:
'Well done, We good and faithful serv-
ant; come, We blessed of my Father, in
herit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world"
"She has anchored her soul in the ha
ven of rest to sail the wide sea no
more; the tempest may sweep over the
wild stormy deep; in Jesus she is safe
ever more.'
She leaves to mourn her loss hus-
band, one daughter and two sons, and
one brother, Robt. NJ. Beaver, Jr., who
resides in Baltimore, Md.
The funeral service was held at the
church on Friday, Rev. G.. K. Newell,
presiding, and Rev. Moses H. Jackson
preached the sermon. Suitable resolu-
tions were presented from the differ
ent departments of the church. The
floral offerings were elaborate and
beautiful. Interment was Mount Glen
wood cemetery. &C"

NATIONAL NEWS NOTES.
Brief Bits of News and Comment OF
Men and Women.
PRESIDENT URGES INDEMNITY.
Asks Congress to Appropriate S41, O30
as "Act of Grace" for Mob Victims.

Washington, D. C.-President Wilson
ship of the United States by his very
queer attitude in all matters affecting
them. He recently served notice on
Bishop Walters of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Zion Church that no Col
ored man would be appointed Recorder
of Deeds in the District of Columbia,
a place which has been held by Colored
men from time immemorial. A vacan-
cy has existed for eighteen months or
more and the belated announcement is
just made that the position is not to be
given to a Colored man. During this
same week he congratulates Major R.
R. Motion upon succeeding to the Prin-
cipalship of Tuskegee Institute, while
ignoring altogether the death of the
man whom Major Motion is to succeed.
He now follows this up by a special
message to Congress advocating an ap-
preparation of $4,000 indemnity to
Greece, Austria-Hungary and Turkey on
account of injuries done to subjects of
these countries, respectively, by mob
violence in riots on February 81, 1909,
at South Omaha, Neb., when Edward
Lowrey, a policeman, was shot by John
Massourides, a Greek subject whom the
officer had arrested. The request is
made of Congress Gas an act of grace
and without reference to the liability of
the United States.'
This special message is sent to Con-
gress by the President during the same
week that announcement is made of
the lynching of 90 men and women in
the South during the year, 1915. Not
a word of protest issues from the White
House in condemnation of this terrible
lawlessness. A special message from
the President would center attention
upon this deplorable practice and if
the President could see his way clear
that "indemnities " were paid the vic
Tins of lynch law in this country, the
practice would cease.
An Infallible Means to Secure Justice
Portland, Oregon-Mankind' pas
sionate quest for justice, which began
soon after the expulsion of the first
pair from the Garden of Eden, and
which has been osecuted with trials
and tribulations through all the ages,
is to be crowned with success in one
state of the Union, at least, and in this
Twentieth Century, unless Mr.. R. P.
Hutton, Superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of Oregon, is very much
mistaken. Mr.. Hutton has been max
ing a tour of Eastern Oregon, explain
ing the recently-adopted prohibition
law of that State, telling "what is in
it," and chow to get the good out of
it." His scheme for securing justice
is almost startling in its simplicity.
Let him speak: "The poorest law
and the poorest officials will secure
more results with bunch to back
them than the best law and the best
officials can get if only an unorganized
public sentiment is behind them"
