EXPECT RECORD ENROLMENT
Indications Of the work already done
on the school census pointed to record
enrolment this year. The average yearly
increase in the number of pupils for the
last six years is IL per cent. Last year

year" said Secretary William Dick, owing
to the number Of the older boys who have
enlisted and are engaged in various other
war activities, Though | am not closely
in touch with the situation, it seems to me
that the falling off in immigration will
cause a decrease in the number Of new
pupils However, this may not have any
effect for another year or So"
Henry j. Gideon chief of the Bureau of
Compulsory Education, who is compiling the
school census. expects a larger enrolment
than last year The work up to the present
time indicates 3 per cent increase, or
about 1000 new pupils. There are accom-
modatons for $3.50 more children than last
year, according to Associate superintendent
Albert ii. Raub.
SCHOOLS IN GOOD SHAPE
A medical inspection of the city schools
conducted recently by Director Wilmer Kru-
sen shows "A most satisfactory condition.
There are only ten schools requiring repairs
to better the sanitary conditions as against
fourteen last year. All of the buildings
now being erected are freproof and contain
all of the most modern sanitary arrange
ments and equipment The situation is be-
coming more satisfactory each year as the
old buildings are replaced.

Crush out the juice of ripe grapes after

they can be mashed in crock or clean tub
with potato masher. Strain them through

get all the juice possible. To each quart
Of the juice add one-half pound OF white
sugar and put away In clean cask or big

tents into vinegar. Let the juice and the
sugar ferment for three or four weeks until

Is the tomato wholesome food? r. @.
The tomato has long been recognized as
an excellent article of food. 1t Is properly
known as a vegetable fruit The tomato
Is valuable, not only because Of the whole
some vegetable acids which it contains, of
which the chief is citric acid, but also on
account of the vitamines, of which it fur
nishes rich supply and especially its iron
content. The value of the tomato as a
source of organic iron has not been fully
appreciated until recently. The solids Of
the tomato contain .023 per cent Of iron
One pound of tomato contains enough iron
TO supply the body needs for one day. 1t is
evident then that the tomato is an excellent
food for persons suffering from a deficiency
