The use of fresh, dry snow as leav-

in which is acts seems to be misunder-

PRODS BOARD OF CONTROL
State Should Help Place the Orphan
Children in Good Homesu Says
Gov. Capper.

Governor Capper wants to find good
homes for the little orphan children
now at the State Orphans Home at
AtChison. In recent letter TO the
board of control he suggested that it
give more attention to that feature of
the home than has been given in the
past.
Every Kansas child is entitled TO a
good home" said the governor at is
well enough for the state TO give it an
institutional home until it can find a
real home, surrounded with real life.
But the state ought to see TO it that
the child finally gets into a home
where ii will have parental care and
be treated like one of the family"
There are nearly 200 children in the
state home at Atchison. Perhaps Is
per cent are able-bodied children
They are just unfortunate in having
lost their parents and having no other
relatives, who had interest enough in
them to give them a home. The in
stitution gives them all the comforts
of home. In fact, it gives them more
comforts than the ordinary child has
at home. They are well clothed, well
fed well treated and well schooled.

 Then there is resolution, That's Q mans virtue. It is a mans soul put in action. This sounds like sentiment, but 1t is solid fact. Half of the social and industrial disasters we experience today in politics, education, commerce and industry Is because we practice ir resolution and dependence.
