More and More Tea.

Nothing Is more significant Of the
change in the business world which
war has produced than the interior of
the city tea shops during the luncheon
hour. The youngest of the women
workers have long ago brimmed over
from their own particular apartment
into the smoking room. which, in
spite OF the calls which war has made
upon the young manhood OF the nation,
is often more crowded than in normal
times That illustrates another aspect
OF the days we live in; many men who
used to lunch deliberately at a restau-
rant are now content, either from vir-
ture or necessity. with the plain,
wholesome fare OF the tea shop.-Lon-

FIFTY BUSHELS OF OATS.
An Acre Will Yield That Much by
Well Prepared Seed Bed and
Plenty Of Plant Food.

The solution Of getting a high yield
well-prepared seed bed and plenty Of
plant food with good seed. The aver
age yield OF oats on some farms is far
too low. In many instances oats are
grown as a nurse crop for grass and
are seeded comparatively light. In al
together too many instances. the reg
ular seeding OF oats Is made and still
the yield Is to small. Where a 7oed
bed is properly prepared for seeding
down grass. a good yield OF from 30 TO
so bushels Of oats should be obtained.
Consequently the league adviser de-
sires to urge upon those who are plan
ming to seed oats and especially with
grass that they make every effort to
prepare the seed bed as well as pos
dble, and use SUFFICIENT plant food TO
secure q good growth and a good yield
early. The seed chosen SHOULD be thai

In the earliest days OF the race, in

over them was undisputed. And female
children suffered most OF all. 80 ala
helpless motherhood.
The author takes US through the
dawn of civilization in Mesopotamla
and Egypt, through China and In
dia, through classical antiquity 70
the struggle begun by the early
Fathers OF the Church-for the sake OF
the children's souls. That was the be-
ginning of the amelioration of their
place IN the world; the recognition or
their rights, in the modern sense OF
the word, did not come until the last
quarter Of the last century. IL began
in this country, curlously enough, as
DEVELOPMENT of the movement for the
prevention Of cruelty TO animals. Inc
first society for the prevention OF
cruelty to children was founded in this
city by the late Henry Bergh. Europe
followed readily.
The book is an appalling record OF
cruelty. of inconceivable refusal 70 rec
ognize the child as a human being. II
is a history Of many thousand years o.
infanticide and traffic, in which here
and there one finds ray Of light, as IN
the laws Of the Sumarians and or
Rome. The Roman general Agathocles
insisted upon an agreement that the
CarthagIuIans would cease 10 sacrlhce
children to Moloch as part OF the terms
Of peace. The Greeks, IL appears, were
as callous toward childhood as they
were toward their slaves even at the
height of their culture. In one OF the
sacred books Of India IL was declared
that "to kill 100 children is equal TO
telling one untruth"; but in Babylonia,
a thousand years before Hamursbi,
there we're pensions for mothers!
Nr Payne draws upon all the world
for his illustrations of the status OF
children once and now. upon the bush
men of Australia. the Papuans, and the
vanished civilizations OF Mexico and
Peru; upon Tacitus for proof that the
barbarians we're far more merciful 70
their children than was the Roman
civil cation which they destroyed. he
traces tribal customs-in India tho
mother was forced TO poison her own
child with opium while nursing ii, once
its father had decided that 1t must die;
in short. this study, while the first on
it's subject, would seem to be definitive
as we'll
To the three monotheistic religions,
Judaism, Christianity and Mahometan-
ism, Mr.. Payne gives the credit for the
recognition Of the rights OF children.
But "the best friends Of the child
Jesus, the Jewish Prophets and Ma
homet- lived centuries before the hu-
man theories that they preached had
really a living existence. In this con
nection it is germane TO state that the
theory that philosophy and religion 60

tered By the fact that Plato, Aristotle,
Confucius and Gautama affected, appar-
emily, not q single jot the ancient at
titude Of insufferance toward the un.
desired children" The book is one OF
the most important contributions made
in years TO the literature Of the child.
