Philadelphia milk dealers may soon

quart II a movement which has been
started by some of the farmers of Chester
and Delaware counties has a successful
outcome Although many prominent
city dealers recently lowered their price
from TO cents, there still remain
prominent members of the Milk Exchange
who maintain the Scent standard. In
view of this condition dairymen have
stopped TO think how it is that such an
exorbitant tax is levied when they re.
ceive for their best mix at the creameries
only 1 " cents at this time.
Yes, as you've probably guessed, this
ceased 10 be news a quarter of a century
ago. It's taken from a morning con-
temporary of June 12, 1890. The dairy.

ton OF the middleman and the selling OF
ths milk in grocery and other small stores
instead OF delivering at the consumers
door. A dream that glimmsred and went

ON THURSDAY, in this place, we were
for sixty years. Now we have before us
the menu Of another that was cooked to
be disposed of thirty years ago.
The dinner of the st. Andrews Society
in 1857, it may be remembered, over
played the food and left the character of
the speeches entirely to the Imagination.
The menu now before us is strong in
wines and strong in speakers. Indeed,
the wines played an important part in the
affair before ever the guests were seated.
The dinner of the Hibernian Society of
Philadelphia in honor of the Centennial
of the United States Constitution was
held in ST. Georges Hail. at Thirteenth
and Arch streets, on September II, 1887.
Let it not be supposed the food upon this
occasion was not plentiful and good. The
list Of eatables is mouth watering to look
upon and the caterers name was one to
conjure with. But the wines! There
was a sauterne and a sherry and bur-
gundy and five kinds of champagne.
Unfortunately, these liquids allured the
walters from the straight and narrow
path, so that they wal .eC first unsteadily
and then not at all. The guests all un-
conscious of this. sat down and waited
for their food, but there were no serving
men to set it before them. The commit
tee, having itS wits about it, sent the
frenzed caterer after more wine, and this
was G1!cH3Y served to the guests, putting
them II Z somewhat better frame OF mind.

SCOUTS AIDING HOOVER

A Scout who eats corn pone for
breakfast instead of slice of wheat
bread may have no idea of performing
q patriotic duty, but upon just such
small choices depends the success of
the United States in the present strug-
gle.
The president long ago recognized
the necessity of producing the maxi
mum of food, utilizing all of it to the
best advantage and preventing waste.
For this purpose he appointed Mr..
Herbert Hoover as American food ad-
ministrator.
The housewife holds the key to the
situation. If each saves a pound of
bread week for each person in the
family, we shall have 100,000,000 BUSH
els more Of wheat this year for our
allies. A saving of two cents on each
meal every day for each person will
save to the nation for war purposes
!S2,000,OO0,O00 year. Every Scout
will be glad to help his mother and the
other women who are bearing their
share of the burden Of war. Even
though be prefers toasted wheat bread,
he will eat his corn gladly and have
the wheat for the allies.
Even though he likes meat, he will
eat his reduced portion cheerfully, re-
membering that beyond the seas are
Scouts who have not tasted meat for
months.
He will apply the butter more thin
ly, and also learn to relish food which
contains the minimum Of shortening.
He will ask for vegetables and fruits
grown in the home town, for these the
railroads do not have to carry.
He will put on his plate only that
which he is sure he can eat, and then
clean the plate.
He will help with the canning and
preserving, as well as the harvesting.
With his troop he will cooperate
with the local women's organizations
which are promoting the plans of the
food administration.
Mr.. Hoover has sent this letter to
Chief Scout Executive James E. West:

Scouts of America viii take keen in

If He Gets TWO Relp;ngs He Cleans

istration. I should like to have them
get behind me in my efforts to help
out in managing the food problems Of
the country.
81 know that they have already as
sisted greatly in stimulating food pro-
duction.
1--WE are planning to ask all Of the
homes in America to rearrange their
methods of living so as to handle the
food supply in the most intelligent
manner. The Boy Scouts can help
out in this by assisting in the enroll
ment of the women Of the country in
the food administration. Our plan is
to ask that pledge be signed and
that a housecard, designed as a United
States shield with a few heads OF
wheat about it, be put up in the win
dow of each home.
"Many homes will be difficult to
reach. If, as the campaign progresses,
the Boy Scouts can help us to see
where it is not being carried on sue
tcessfully we can arrange to have work
Iers sent there, and in that way get
Everybody possible interested.
"Where the Scouts are well organ
lied we hope that they can make a
check for us of the homes that are
members and those that are not, to
assist US in this work.
another way in which the Boy
Scouts can help is by making q study
tof our plans as they appear, and in
irving to see that they themselves, as
well as members Of their family, live
up to them.
"We hope that the scouts will follow
the gospel of the clean plate to see
that they are helped literally enough
ito meet all of their needs, but that
they do not waste.
awe want the Scouts to protect the
wheat of the country by eating a mini
mum Of white bread"
That last is laying it rather heavily
ion the scouts. Giving up wheat bread
isn't in itself such hardship, but
when one considers that the slice OF
bread is mainly used as q background
for jam or honey, or even the humble
molasses, then the duty becomes sac
riice indeed.

WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.

What can be accomplished in the
lessening of disease is shown in re-
cent report by Frederick L. Hoffman
on the campaign against tuberculosis.
This was begun in 1906. Commenting
on this campaign, the New York Post
remarks: "At that time the annual
death rate in 35 cities was 195 per
thousand. After the expenditure Of
millions on new hospitals, organiza-
tions and clinics, the death rate Of
last year was 146.S. The justifica-
ton Of the work is evident in these
cold figures. Applied to the country,
they signify an annual saving of 3d.
600 lives, But the disease is even yet
far from eradicated. In fact, only be-
ginnings have been made in the fight
against it. Local outbreaks Of it are
still battling. In Detroit, Fall River,
Worcester and Newark there was q
marked increase last year. The reason
is not clear. 1t may have to do with
factory conditions. But differences in
nationality have also an important
bearing. The death rate for negroes
lis many times as high as that for
whites; and among the whites the rate
for Irish and German born and ma
tive Americans Is far higher than that
for Russians and Italians. The facts
need still further sitting in order to
insure maximum result from the med
ical effort and money expended"

Boys should not sing when their
voices are at the changing stage. It
is easy to tell from the cracked" and
"crooky" tone when this period is
reached. 1t occurs usually about the
ages OF fourteen or fifteen years, and
the voice should not be used for sing

tone has been reached. Many voices
have been ruined by continuing to sing
