Willing To Be Deceived

How do you like this butter. my Fdear?" asked the pretty young house. wife.
 Excellent! Why, it tastes hkeI the butter we used to have down on the farm when I was a boy
 Well, I'll tell you little secret. This is not butter at a1l--it is buffers successor, Benefit Brand Sweet Nut It's better than most butter and it only costs about half as much"
 Why, you surprise me I never thought you would serve oleemar- garine on your table, Nor I! Of course. the law requires them to use the word oleomargarine, but there is no ta bit of animal fat in it. It is made from the nutritious part of white cocoanut meats churned with pasteurized milk. You buy it only at the Direct Importing Co.'S yellow front store, pr Franklin square, Norwich, where Benefit Brand Teas, Ceffees and Grocery Specialties are retailed at wholesale prices"
 Well. all I can say is that I am perfectly willing to be deceived"

The absolute need Of improving the
health and reducing the death rate Of
our children was startlingly revealed
some 10 years ago when Major Cen
era Sir Frederick Maurice called at
tcutlon to the staggering fact that only
10 per cent Of the young manhood OF
England was proving 1T for serving IN
the army.
When Il was taken into account that
the halt, the blind. the badly manned
or stunted. and those seriously dis
eased, would not apply for military
service this meant that at least two
thirds OF the young men were dis
qualified for military life even in peace
time
Sir Frederick Maurice terseiy and
passiOnately summed up the situation
By saying that merely 10 fold o'r
hands In the face Of such a situation
was to proclaim ourselves guilty o.
the greatest Of all civic crimes-namely
TO despair OF the state
So serious was this problem seen TO
be that a government commission was
appointed to investigate It's causes. The
commission in It's report emphasized
the fact that before all else the fault
lay with ignorance on the part Of
parents. widespread artificial rearing
OF its girls from the point Of view OF
