NEGLECTED. CHILDREN.

% There Were Fewer Of Them Thsrs
Would Be Less Crime.
A St Louis Judge recently made the
statement In an address delivered be-
fore local bar association that eff
one-fourth as much as Is spent for
keeping up our courts. jails. poorhouses
and paupers was applied to help neg
lected city children make proper start
In life the high tide of crime surely
would decrease"
This Is q remarkable statement to
make: but, coming from the source 1t
does, 1t is worthy Of consideration of
all philanthropic men and women. Had
the speaker made his statement more
general and applicable to the country
as well as to the cities It would all the
same I've worthy Of credence.
The life Of every one depends largely
upon the start made. There are those
who are started right and then depart
from the straight but narrow path, but
they are the exception and cot the
rule. Thousands of little unfortunates
may be said to be born criminals, the
offspring Of criminal parentage. II
not so born they are so bred. But 1t
is true. as said by this st. Louis Judge.
that If benevolent and righteous pub
lie would deal with the problem as 1t
might there would be less crime and
fewer criminals. - Knoxville Journal

SAVE BOTTLES; ID.
JARS ARE SCARCE
Department of Agriculture Sug
gests that Bottles Be Used
sta~. as a Substitute

The home canning specialists Of the
United States Department Of agricul.
ture urge every housekeeper to save
Enthusiastically wide-necked ones
for putting up fruits, preserves, jel-
lies, jams, and fruit juices. Saving
of bottles is highly important, they
say, as there threatens to be a serious
shortage of regular jars and preserv-
ing cans this season.
The fruit products named, if sealed
with corks and parafin, can be kept
perfectly in these makeshift contain
ers. Jellies, jams, and preserves can
be kept even in ordinary drinking
glasses, by the use Of paper and par
atm. Fruit juices should be packed
in ordinary small-necked bottles.
Vegetables, soups, and meats, on
the other hand, to keep must be seal
ed by the usual fruit jar or tin-can
packing methods. Reserve regular
containers for foods that cannot be
packed in bottles.
The specialists are also urging all
members of canning clubs and others
not only to can products, but to dry
and evaporate all such products as
apples, pumpkin and squash. They
advise strongly that if containers are
scarce locally, those in stock should be
used to preserve perishable products
which have the highest nutritive value.
Nothing should be packed in jars or
cans which can be effectively preserv-
ed in any other way.
Candy containers or other glass jars
with screw tops or glass shoppers, and
in fact any receptacle Of glass, crock
cry or porcelain, can be sealed with
cork or paper and parafii,.
Large tin cannisters or tin cans with
removable covers, provided the body of
the container is air and water tight,
will be found useful in canning certain
fruit products. Such containers can
be sterilized and their covers hermet-
ically sealed in place with solder or
wax.

LUNCHES IN THE SCHOOLS

Chicago's board of education is still undecided, because one of US commit tees is not ready to report on the sub ject, as to what shall be done about the so called penny lunches that hith- erto have been offered to young pupils in certain public schools. The high cost of foodstutfs has had it's effects on these lunches. Hungry school children have been obliged to pay nIoTe than the traditional penny for nourishing bit of food at noontime or else the portion served for that sum has become So attenuated as to deprived of standing as a source of nonrishment. The suggestion Is made that the board appropriate funds in order that this discrepancy may be overcome.
 Originally the idea of penny lunches was to provide wholesome food for the children in place of indigestible stuff obtained by them at neighboring stores. It has been proved that child- Ten cannot master even simple lessons unless. their brains are we'll supplied with blood. And well nonrished brain cannot exist in q poorly nour- ished body. Thus it is poor economy for the board of education to waste

it's expensive equipment on children who cannot learn because they are inadequately fed.
 MT. Hanson of the board of educa- tion says fit is not 9 question of mon- Icy but a question of policy" Certain ly 1t is not wise to pauperize children by giving them food, but the policy of making the payment small is a very different thing, since the children get the food they need and at the same time maintain their independent spirit. Where a need for them existx penny lunches, or 2 cent lunches, or what ever they may be called, can and should be provided that they will cause no pupil a loss of self-respect. Chicago Daily News.

 And I'm not coming back,
 Until I teach the kaiser
