WHAT CHILDREN SHOULD EAT

After an exhaustive study, Uncle
Sans agents in the home economics
division of the department of agri-
lculture have determined just what
you should put in the children's
lunch baskets when they go to school.
Nine practical school lunches have
been selected. They contain accord
ing to the experts the right amounts
OF fats, proteins, starch, sweets. and
the thousand and one other things
that go to make up food for human
consumption.
Here are the nine:
l. Sandwiches with sliced tender
meat for filling; baked apples, cook
les or few Jumps of sugar.
2. Slices of meat loaf or bean loaf;
bread and butter sandwiches;
stewed fruits; small frosted cake.
8. Crisp rolls, followed out and
filled with chopped meat or fish,
moistened and seasoned, or mixed
with salad dressing; orange, apple,
mixture of sliced fruits or berries;
cake.
4. Lettuce or celery sandwiches:
cup custard; jelly sandwiches.
.. Cottage cheese and chopped
green pepper sandwiches, or a pot of
cream cheese with bread and butter
sandwiches; peanut sandwiches
fruit, cake.
6. Hard boiled eggs, crisp baking
powder biscuits, celery or radishes.

witches.
Z. Bottle of milk, thin corn bread
and butter, dates. apple.
s. Raisin or nut bread with but
ter, cheese, orange, maple sugar.
The provision of bottle of milk
is suggested in one of the menus. but
of course taking milk to school in
warm weather would be impractical

We do not think anyone who reads
carefully and intelligently the pro-
posed constitutional amendment, rel
alive to certain qualifications for
voters, will find anything therein to
view with alarm - Similar pro-
visions obtain in other Southern
States, and the only result has been
the one aimed observation-disclosures
OF the negroes, or, rather, that por-
ton of them who are ignorant and
shiftless. Recent Republican i'm
portations, who haven't gotten over
their negro-loving propensities yet
are ranting and raving about the
matter, and trying to show that it
will disfranchise white people of
limited means and education, but
this was never the intention of the
provision and will never be it's eff
feet. We care very little about the
matter one way or the other, but we
know that in this renaissance of the
carpet-bag period the negro in poll
tics is factor that may have to be
reckoned with, and any measure to
guard against the abuse of the negro
vote by INSCRIPTIONS politicians is
not unwise. The Tampa Tribune this
morning very clearly explains that
the provision "applies only to those
whose ancestors were not in possess
sion of the right to vote prior to
1S61-in other words, the negroes,
descendants of the slaves .

THE COFFIN CONVENTION :.
AND ITS NOMINEE

Mr.. John P. Coffin, who has been
widely advertised as having given
$4,000 in Florida lands to promote
the prohibition campaign in this
State, and his son, Mr. Francis P
Coffin, candidate for Congress against
Hon. Frank Clark, the Democratic
nominee, were in Ocala Wednesday
interviewing some of our citizens
and distributing their literature.
The Messrs. Coffin in reply to a
question, said that Mr.. Cats did not
seek a nomination at the hands of
the Coffin party, nor has he accented
the nomination.
What right" it was asked, did
you have to make the nomination.
and why did you select Mr.. Cats in
stead of Mr.. Knott, both being Bap-
lists and Prohibitionists?"
The reply was that it was done be-
cause those in control of the Demo-
cratic patty had not placed both the
names of Mr.. Cats and Mr.. Knott on
the Democratic ticket.
Now, whoever heard of a party
nominating two men for the same Of
flee, unless it wanted both of them
defeated?
The Coffin party did not set the ex-
ample and nominate two men for
Congress on the Coffin ticket.
Suppose that the Republican con-
vention at Chicago, after nominating
Hughes, had then turned around the
next day and nominated Roosevelt,
what sort of spectacle would it
have presented to the country? And
what would it have led to?
Or, suppose the Democratic party
at ST. Louis, after nominating Wood
row Wilson, the next day had also
nominated w. j. Bryan, Champ
Clark or some other Democrat, what
would have been the judgment of the
country?
The Messrs. Coffin must know that
that would have put any party in a
most anomalous and ridiculous atti-
tude and such a procedure would
have been preposterous and unten-
able.
And why was Judge Taylor's name
left off the ticket?
And why were the Democratic cleo
tors left off?
Actions oftentimes speak louder
than words.
1t was done to demoralize. and. if ,
possible, to disrupt the Democratic
party.
There is no other explanation -

WHO FORGETS?

And know by these that God does
not forget. .
The line quoted above came back
to the writer with the query: DO
you believe what you have written
there?' And the query was signed
I'm the dark"
| And why should not one believe
that God does not forget; is not the
record of each closing day red-let-
tered with such evidence?
On the bright side of the ledger
are written the memory gifts that
are the rewards of our efforts. II
we remember that God is our father
and the man is cur brother; if we
are unselfish, loyal, and above all if
we are helpful to those who need it,
we feel within our own souls that we
are close up to the divine presence,
and something almost as tangible as
hand-touch warns the pulse to a
joy-beat.
But the same God who promised
reward said also: Il will repay. "
And sometimes the coin in which he
pays is as silence that grows like a
solid wall between our souls and
him. We build that wall by our
own hard thoughts, our unkind
deeds, our bitter words, our cold neg
lect of those who lean-permanent-
ly or momentarily-up our hearts
Tor the succor of an aims or the
cheer of tender word.
And when the intangible wall is
there between the soul and God we
lose the comforting sense of nearness
to the presence that had made the
world so beautiful, and, suddenly
hereft, we say that God has forgot
ten u.s.
The bright Angel of Prayer
stands forever at the gates Elysia
to catch the flying messages, but the
selfish prayers, weighted secretly
with hatred or malice, cannot soar to
the crystalline heights. They fall
back, and because they are unan-
swered we say again God has forgot
ten.
Searching out the hearts of our
little world, watching the out
stretched or the withheld hands for
those about us, there comes to us this
helpful truth that may reach those
alike who live on. the heights and
those who sit in the shadows:
Agnosticism is but pampered ego
ism. Unbelief is but exaggerated self
ishness.
When we understand this and be-
gin to break away these husks from
the soul, we will realize that it is
not Gods memory, but ours that fails
and leaves us alone out Sin the
dark. memphis Commercial Appeal

the Florida Veterans to attend the

Peace Jubilee of the Union and Con-
federate survivors of the armies and
navies. This is to take place in the
Vicksburg National Military Park,
Oct. 16 to 10, 1917, and for which

The matter was referred to the

that the proposition to go to the
Vicksburg National Park camp be ac-
cepted.
Williams Doesn't Like Plan
The presentation of this resolution
brought General Williams to his
feet, He roundly denounced tn
whole proceedings. He was true to
his own cause, he said, and did not
intend to be untrue to his comrades.
General Williams idea appeared to
be that the government was bring
ing this reunion about without any
consultation with the Confederate
Veterans. He did not think these
had to be subservient to anybody in

sentiments that had been expressed

urged them all to attend in order
that there might be a great parade.
