CHILDREN'S LIVES
 SHAPED BY MOTHER
Rev. Dr. E. B. Cross Tells Congre-
 gation of Prodigal Father

A resurgent wave of the enthusiasm generated by the seventeenth annual Older Boys Conference which met in New Britain last December broke out at the. evening congregation at the First Baptist church last night. The audience was frequently in laughter and was stirred towards tears as we'll by the boys who spoke and by the pa thetic story of the "Prodigal Father" which was read by Dr. Cross in con- cluding the service. The speakers were J. Dexter Walcott, Roger w.. Truslow, Harold w. Geschimsky, H. Charles Fuller, Francis M. Davis and Arvid N. Larson. The story of the "Prodigal Father" follows:
 The Prodigal Father.
 "A certain man had two sons, and the younger of them said to his father Father, give me the portion of thy time, and thy attention, and thy com- panionship, and thy counsel and guidance which falleth to me- And ha divided unto them his living in
 
 them to a select preparatory school, and to dancing school and to college, and tried to believe that he was doing his full duty by the boys.
 And not many days after the father gathered all his interests and aspira- tions and ambitions and took his jour- ney into 8 far country, into land of stocks and bonds and securities and other things that do not interest boy and there he wasted his precious op- portunities of being a chum to his own son. And when he had spent the very best of his life and had gained money, but failed to find satisfa ction, there arose a mighty famine in his heart, and he began to be in want of sym pathy and real companionship. And he went and joined himself to one of the clubs of that country, and they elected him chairman of the house committee and president of the club and then sent him to the legislature. And he would fain have satisfied him. self with the husks that other mon did eat and no man gave unto him any real friendship.
 ''But when he came to himself he said: How many men of my acquaint- ance have boys whom they under stand and who understand them, who talk about their boys and associate

SPANISH STEAMER
 VICTIM OF U=B0A7 I
lndignation. Aroused by Action of
 German Submarine

Madrid, via Paris. Jan. 2, 11:3o, D. m.-Public indignation has been aroused through the publication of a telegram received by the members of the Cartagena company confirming the report that the San Leandero was torpedoed by German submarine. Its agency believes the loss of the steamer was acidental and tho cargo being of fruit, it was considered un likely that she would be torpedoed. The crew of the ship has arrived at Hendaye. France, where they made statements before the Spanish consul, Tn which they said that they were twenty-four hours in an open boat be- fore reaching the French coast.
 The navigation company has sent telegrams to Premier Ronanes and the minister of foreign commerce pro- testing against the sinking and has suspended the sailing of another of its ships, the San Isadore. which is now loading fruit at Malaga
 The situation at the Canaries is de- scribed as grave by latest despatches from the Islands. Only 233 ships called at Las Palmas in the month of December. as against an average of 700 for that month in normal times Of the 233 only one was English and there were no French or Italian, a fact attributed to the presence of submarines in the vicinity of the port. Commenting on these conditions in the vicinity the Epoca remarks that spain, without participating in the war, suffers consequences. as far as the Canarles are concerned, alm ost to the same extent as a belligerent na- tion.

DEALERSBEW ARE!SELL CLEAN
 MILK OR GET OUT OF BUSINESS
Health Board Determined to Improve Standard Supt Reeks Asks Housewiv es to Cooperate and
 Makes Timel Suggestions

Dr. T. Eben Reeks, superintendent of health. in his monthly department tai report for December, makes a statement concerning the selling of dirty milk in New Britain and in- cludes plea for cooperation in a campaign to bring about the desired end. The superintendent leaves no doubt that he intends to accomplish results and states that he will pro- hibit the sale of dirty milk in the city if it is necessary too put half of the milk dealers out of business. Concerning this important health question pr. Reeks' bulletin has the following to say:
 It has taken considerable time to obtain survey of New Britain's milk supply. but now that 1t is com pleted we are prepared to devote our energy to securing a clean and whole some milk for the city. The att- tude of each member of the board Is, that dirty and unwholesome milk shall not be sold in New Britain even though it is necessary to put half our milk dealers out of business in order to stop it's sale. This should be sufficient warning to the milkmen.
 
 will be waged to clean out the un- fitted milk dealers.
 As a starter for December
 Three fines of $1O each and cost for selling milk below standard.
 One fine of ST without cost for selling milk below standard.
 One milkman's license suspended for keeping insanitary dairies.
 Three milkmen put on probation for keeling insanitary dairies.
 Of course. 1t is our "job" to see that the milk sold is pure. But what are you doing to help? Do you care whether the milk you buy is clean or dirty? Do you take any care of the milk after 1t is left at your door? Do you see that 1t Is kept in a cool place, or do you leave 1t exposed to the sun or to the heat and dust of the kitchen? Do you thoroughly wipe the top of the bottle before remo owing cap? Do you ever visit you milk mans dairy to see how he keeps house?" ct is your privilege to do this just as 1t is to visit your market.) Do you wash the bottle as soon as empty? Do you know that milk is the most easily contaminated of foods and that 1t has been the cause of many cases of infectious and con- tagious diseases?
 Do you want to help us in our campaign for clean milk? If so. tell your milkman, no matter who he is. that you are interested in our efforts. By locking the doors at night, do you , rot help the police, protect your home? For your own sake. help us secure for you a good, clean milk by following the above suggestions. Chickenpox Epidemic.
