MEAL-TIME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children DRINK

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert
but often it is tea or coffee.
1t is better to have some delicious,
hot food-drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con
scious that it will help and strength
en-. but never hurt them.
A Yorkstate lady says: 81 used
coffee many years in spite Of the con

FRIEND OF WAR CHILDREN

A young woman stood in a large
drawing room in Washington and
talked to a group Of men and women
about a work for which she asked
their aid. She looked very girlish to
be deeply engrossed in a great inter
national welfare movement.
This young woman was Miss Caro-
line Dawes Appleton of Massachusetts
and New York and Paris, and she is
the founder of the international society
of the Friends of Childhood, whose mis-
sion is to help those who have become
impoverished by the European war. AS
the name betokens, children are the
chief object of relief, but the welfare
of children in many cases involves
help for an entire family. Miss Apple

President Richard Cockburn Mac
laurin, about whom the dedication ex-
e~rcises of the new buildings of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
on June -, Is and IA will center, has
the distinction which will be appre-
ciated by businesslike Americans that
he has financed the construction of the
new edifices. This means that he has
secured gifts of about nine million dol
lars and at the same time has carried
forward the educational program of
the institute without departure from
it's high standards.
President M~aclaurin was born in
Edinburgh in 1870. His early b1yhood
was spent in New Zealand, whence he
returned to England to complete his
preliminary education. In 1899 he
entered the University Of Cambridge,
taking two degrees, B. A. and NJ. A,
the thesis work for the latter being
most advanced mathematics. On grad,
