THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH AND SANITATION
BY y. f. Chapman, S"anitarian oi
Myudus, \. NJ.
CHILD WELFARE

The Federal Children's bureau
announces that municipal child
welfare work has extended to
two-thirds of the cities in the
country having 10000 popula-
ton or more. There are about
600 of these cities. In twenty
of them special divisions of child
hygiene have been added to city
health departments.
This is a cheering bit of ac-
complishment, especially for a
department so young as that Of
the children's welfare bureau.
And the fact that so much has
been done in so short a time
means that the public is ready
to do something to improve the
conditions surrounding the
growth of its children.
The establishment of child
welfare work in any community
is, of course, only the very be-
ginning. The whole task of zee
ing that children develop in
clearly, wholesome surround
ings, protected from exposure
to contagious diseases, properly
fed and clothed, properly edu-
Gated and given plenty Of chance
for Joyous, healthful play-all
this remains to be accomplished.
But the mere turning Of the
community attention to these
needs is progressive and cheer
full.
II can not be reiterated too
often that If the child problems
were solved, the adult problems
would disappear. The child who
grows up with a healthy body,
an open, intelligent, well-trained
mind, who has been taught a
means of earning a competent
and generous living and is skill
full at his trade, who has been
given high ideals of community
service and of how to live-it is
not that child who fills the iails
and lengthens the breadlines and
proves generally unemployable
and worthless. The waste of
human power and satisfaction
which is created by our haphaz-
ard methods of developing and
educating the nations children
is the disgrace of the time. Per.
haps the newly established child
welfare work may open eyes in
the right direction.

WHEN THE FROST is ON
THE PUNKI

Oh, tn" crisp and sunny mornins
OF these early Autumn days,
When the airs most appetising.
An the landscape thru the
haze
Is a picter that no painter
Has the colorin to mock
When the frost is on the punkin
And the folders in the shock.
Oh, the husky, russet rustic
OF the tossels of the corn;
And the rasping of the tangled
leaves,
AS golden as the morn
And you hear the clack and
gobble
OF the struttin turkey-cock
When the frost is on the punkin
An the folders in the shock.
The strawstack in the meader.
An the reaper in the shed;
The HOSES in the stalls below,
The clover overhead
Oh 1t sets nv heart a clickin'
Like the tickin' of a clock,
When the frost is on the punkin
And the folders in the shock.

ANTS.

Notwithstanding some kinds
of ants are very troublesome and
destructive, many other kinds
are very useful.
A certain small, red ant eats
the young chinch bug. | have
seen fields of young corn and
wheat cleared of chinch bugs in
a few hours, by these little
friends.
There are at least three species
of ants that eat the eggs of the
Colorado potato beetle-the COM
mon potato bug
But sometimes ants become a
Tuisance-a troublesome pest.
Should you want to kill them,
put a piece of corrosive subli-
mate-the corrosive chloride of
mercury-in each nest or hole
occupied by ants. Each ant that
smells this substance becomes
intoxicated, and commences to
fight his mates. And it is like
the starting of a dog fight.
Others rush to the fighters, smell
the drug and go to fighting also.
In a few minutes the fight be-
comes general, and continues
until all the ants are killed or
wounded.
But remember that this sub
stance is poisonous, if swallowed.

THREE ENGLISH SPIES
ARE ARRESTED AT KEEL

Berlin, Feb, 20.-Three English
spies have been arrested near Kiel.
One Of them is said to be a German
who was naturalized in England some
years ago. His two companions are an
Englishman, who speaks German eX-
cellently, and a Norwegian.
The trio entered Germany. from
Denmark with forged passports. At
the frontier station they had no diff
fiCulty as their papers seemed 10 be
in order and all OF them pretended
TO be Norwegian merchants, who had
come to Germany on business.
The alleged spies travelled through
Schleswig- Holstein and stopped for
several days in a village near Kiel
There they made themselves objects
Of suspicion and their arrest followed.
At their hearing the Norwegian con-
fessed that they are agents OF the
British government and had been sent
TO observe the movements OF the Ger
man warships in the Kiel Canal They
were held for trial by court-martial
and will undoubtedly be convicted and
shot.
