most important; where there are chill
dren whose ideals must be formed,
the table talk may be the means OF
shaping their entire lives. Petty gos-
sip, criticism and time for general
correction makes an otherwise pleas

One of our great educators always
had an atlas, an encyclopedia and q

consulted during the meal when it
was necessary to use reference books.
The children from that home went
out with a broad and general educa-
ton that could never have been &C.
quired from books or college train
ing. In the tender years of child's
life impressions may be made, facts
learned without conscious effort on
his part, that will remain in the mem
DRY as long as the mind lasts.
Wholesome food is one of the neces-
stiles of well-balanced body, and
wholesome thought Is just as vital to
a wellbalanced mind. We believe

they are spoken or written, but we
get nowhere unless we ourselves work
to accomplish results, We often hear
remarks made Of certain families Of
children, they are so well.mannered,

fact is, II those lives were investi-
gated, that the parents have spared
no pains or time, no comfort, to teach
and train them. This training Is not
always seen, but it must be given to
get good results.

Mr.. Wanamaker was the owner of
the old America, in which an attempt

John C. Porte, lieutenant in the
English army, who was to have had

reported as a contract made contir~
gent upon England's entrance into a
war, the America was sold to Great
Britain and was shipped to that coun-
try aboard the steamship Mauritania.

State and Federal Governments
Brought to Better Understanding
Which Will Insure Efficient
Cooperation in Future.

Washington, D. C.-The long fight
against the foot-and-mouth disease is
over. The secretary Of agriculture
has issued an order removing all foot,
and-mouth guarantees and restric'
tions against the shipment and move
ment Of live stock. The order spec1'
tically removes the quarantine from q
small territory in Christian county,
ILL.,, the last area which was under
suspicion. Along with the removal OF
this local quarantine, the various fed
eral orders restricting shipment of cat,
tie are rescinded, so that dealers can
now ship their cattle as before the first
quarantine was imposed
Upon notification that the United
States is free from the disease, all
foreign governments which have
placed embargoes on American cattle
are expected to remove these EN-.
bargoes, so that cattle raisers will then
be able to resume shipments to these
foreign countries.
The magnitude Of the work Of eradi.
cation and control carried on by farm
ers, shippers, and the state and federal
governments is shown by the fact that
before being controlled, the disease had
gained temporary footing in % states
and the District Of Columbia. The
disease appeared and was controlled
in 269 different counties.
The importance to the stock.raising
industry of eradicating foot-and-mouth
disease may be judged from the re-
suits Of this plague in Denmark, where
the disease appeared at about the
same time that it broke out in the
United States. The area of Denmark
is approximately equal to that of the
three England states-Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Rhode Island. 1t is,
however, a great dairying country,
and it has been estimated that the
losses in milk in one year caused by
the foot-and-mouth disease have
amounted to approximately one.third
of the total cost of eradicating the
pestilence in % states of this country.
The Danish authorities were unable to
carry out their former policy of slaugh-
ter, and were compelled to resort to
such measures of control as could be
established by guarantees and other
restrictions.
AS a result of better understanding
between the state and national govern
ments, representatives Of the depart
ment believe that many Of the OBJ
stacles which confronted the authori-
ties in the past outbreak, would not
be encountered in dealing with any
future occurrence Of the disease. The
veterinarians, however, will not abate
their watchfulness for some time. Elk,

ucts offered for import will continue

ment, moreover, particularly urges all
