drinking OF tea and coffee. even when
sugar and milk were added, was
harmful to children OF such ages.
II was brought out that an increase
IN the number OF chlldren's diseases
had resulted from families changing
from their usual grades OF milk to
lower grades because OF the increased
cost.
Charles f. North. Chairman OF the
committee, presided at the hearing.
Dr. Emmet Holt said a child under
one year Of age should drink at least
one quart OF milk a day and a child
between one and two years, one and
onc-half pints. No other food for
children. he said, was as economical
as milk.
Miss Lucy. C. Gillette reported on
her investigation for the Board OF
Health. which took in the lower East
side, the upper East side and corre-
spending sections in the Bronx. II
was found 1900 families. with t,467
adults. 2.534 children under six years
and 5.43s children over six, had
bought i.797 quarts OF milk at 10
cents in 1916. This year, with milk
at II cents. they purchased only

At the hearing held by the Mayors
MIX Committee II was brought out
to-day that the principal cause OF the
decreased consumption OF milk was
the increased price. The hearing was
held in the Board OF Health rooms
at No. l39 Centre Street.
Testimony showed that the average
sales Of milk In New York city for
each OF three days last year amounted
to 100000 quarts. The sales for the
corresponding days this year were:
Oct. 1, 1.4ii,GjS: Oct. "a. 1,576,222;

In 1900 families investigated IT was

ready done so in the case OF wheat
and sugar. and corn will be next.
Bakers hero will be urged TO use 30
per cent. OF corn In their bread and
save the wheat.
In explaining that there are two
angles to the problem confronting
him. Mr.. Williams said: I'VE must
conserve foodstuffs to be able TO sup
ply tho Allies with what they need.
and at the same time We must keep
down prices so the poor here will not
suffer.
I'm this connection there Is one
thing we must Impress upon the city.
When we ask the east side to make
certain changes In Its food, the peo-
pie there must feel that the upper
west side is making the same sacri-
aces. We must play the game with
the other fellow. However. from
what I have already learned. | do not
think there 10 any doubt but that all
sections OF the city will be glad to

caught the next boat back for Seattle

Time passed quickly and uncventfully

the date of her Granada engagement.
fore the middle of July rolled around
and she was once more aboard n Van
couvcr boat. In the interim she had
received a letter from the attorney who
had wound up her fathers estate, init
mating that there was now q market
demand for some oil stock that had
been considered Of no value, and asking
If he should sell or hold for q rise In
price which seemed reasonably sure.
Stella telegrnphed her answer. If that
leftover Of speculative period would
bring a few hundred dollars 1t would
never be Of greater service to her than
now.
All tho upper reach Of Puget sound
