Dispatch From Philadelphia
North American Refutes
Inference in Statement by
Giles.

In statement issued by J. T. Giles,
superintendent of city schools, refer
ence is made to the installation of
lunches in the Philadelphia schools
and the inference is left that the
lunches there are a failure.
The Palladium answers the super
intendent's statement by printing the
subjoined special dispatch which was
written expressly for it today by a
news writer of the Philadelphia North
American, admittedly one of the best
and most conservative newspapers in
the United States.
BY ARTHUR JOYCE
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29.-School
lunches have proved SO beneficial to
public school pupils that the board OF
education is officially establishing
them in every elementary school in
Philadelphia.
Already there are about thirty y-three
lunch rooms doing service as against
five in 1911. Lunches are not served
free but for q trifle more than actual
cost Of materials. bought in bulk,
Returns pay all expenses, including
$4,000 salary Of lunch superintendent
Everything served has definite dietec-
tic value.
Not since luncheon room started
have stimulants like coffee or tea been
served. Cocoa and milk are beverages.
Sweet chocolate is only candy sold.
Each lunch room is directed by an
expert dietician and SIS per cent. of
food is prepared under their direction
in school lunch rooms. Rest is trade
marked goods quality of which is be-
yond question, the cost of which to
lower grades children for lunch aver
ages one cent. In higher schools more
elaborate lunch are served costing
about 5 cents. Base of lunches is soup,
peanut butter and jam, sandwiches,
chocolate milk fruit and puddings.
Experiments with children who take
school lunches show gain in weight
over those who do not and gain also in
mental development. Lunch room
heads not only supervise pupils meal
in school but visit mothers and sug-
gest certain foods that will best de-
velop children.

NEW OvERDAFT LAW.

The following act of the Legislature of Missouri was
passed at the last session, signed by the Governor, and be-
came law effective June 18th of this year. This law was
passed at the instance of Credit Associations. Taken in
connection with previous overdraft laws, decisions, and
rulings of the Banking Department, this act puts banks in
the unpleasant dilemma of paying overdraft checks at great
peril to themselves or of refusing payment at great peril
to their customers.
So the cooperation of our customers is earnestly re-
quested in keeping clear of the ~overdraft practice.

Plant Lice Attack Gardens

Many kinds of plant lice have
become unusually destructive on
almost all of the garden and
truck crops this season. The
plant lice are small, delicate
winged and wingless insects
which feed upon pant juices by
thrusting their long beaks into
the plant tissues. Contact sprays
such as kerosene emulsion, soap
washes, and nicotine solutions,
are recommended for control of
plant lice by T. j, TaIbert of the
University, Of Missouri College
of Agriculture. Stomach poisons
and other arsenicals are useless
against these insects.
Plant lice may be easily kill
ed with small quantities of COM
mercial nicotine in soapy water
Nicotine is better suited for use
than other sprays because it is
effective and less injurious to
tender plants. Where only small
quantities are required, the MIC
otine sulphate may be used at
the rate of 1 teaspoonful to a
gallon of soapy water or about
3 tablespoonful to 8 gallons of
of sOapy water.
Home made tobacco tea may
be used instead of commercial
nicotine sulphate. Steep one
pound of tobacco stems, leaves
or refuse in one gallon of water.
The water must not be allowed
to boil since the boiling would
drive off the volatile nicotine and
reduce the value of the solution.
The tea should be diluted with
an equal amount of soapy water
after which it is ready for use.
Soapy water often makes an
effective spray. This may be
made by dissolving one pound
of fish oil soap or laundry SOAP
in about four gallons of water.
Remember that each plant
louise must actually be hit anc
wet by the spray material
otherwise it escapes. After the
leaves of the plants have become
| curled by the pest, it is difficult
to hit with the spray. In mos
cases, thoro work may be don,
by using an extension rod e
= quipped with a crook or angl
nozzle which allows the opera
tor to spray the under sides o
the leaves thoroly. A good typ,
t. of disc nozzle and sufficient fore,
/, to produce a penetrating spra!
is necessary for best results.

YES! MEDICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT
 WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug stors man, "Give me quarter of an ounce of freexone." this will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from ones feet.
 4 few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon . tender. aching corn should relieve the sore ness instantly. and soon i. the entire corn. root and all. dries up and can be lifted out with tho fingers.
 This new way to rid ones feet of co1ns was introduced by . Cincinnati man, who says that, while freexone is sticky. 1t dries in a moment. and sim- ply shrivels up the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the sur- rounding tissue or skin.
 Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whittling It his corns. but clip this out and make him try 1t.
