MILK IMPERATIVE
FOR CHILDREN

Milk is an imperative necessity in
the diet of babies and young children,
according to experts of the Children's
bureau. Milk is the one food that all
young children must have if they are
to be strong and healthy. Whole milk
is rich in the elements without which
the child's growth ceases and his
health is impaired; indeed, there is
no other food which can supply as
we'll the needs of the growing child.
Due to the fact that decreases are
reported from many cities in the
amount of milk consumed by families
with young children, officials of the
bureau are again making a study OF
milk. 1t is believed that the decrease
is due to the high prices now almost
universally prevailing for milk.
The experts are of the opinion that
there is no substitute for milk in the
diet of babies and young children
Yet the increase in it's price is sc
startling that, as the bureaus survey
shows, many mothers are economic
ing on milk. Young children canno
get the nourishment they require
from the would-be milk substitute!
|
not themselves contain milk are 81
lacking in the essentials of health!
development that children feeding OF
them instead of milk must be expect
ed to be ailing, the experts say. Plain
ly very great harm is done yount
children by giving them tea and cot
fee to take the placJ of milk which
is really a complete food; it is givint
them mere stimulants to replace thei
best food.
Since the price Of milk went up tie;
and coffee have been substituted 70
milk by more than half of the 2,20
families-aIl with children under ST
included in a recent study of the eff
feet Of the increased price of mil
made in New York city. One hundre
land twenty families have stopped tax
ling milk entirely, and in twenty-five
of these there are babies under on
wear old.

GERALDINE FARRAR.

You'd never believe it to look at
her, but Mrs. Lou Tellegen, better
known as Geraldine Farrar, queen of
grand opera, will celebrate her thirty
sixth birthday next week. Perhaps
one shouldn't tell, but she was born
on Feb. %, 1882, at Melrose, Mass.
Her father, Sydney Farrar, was
star of the diamond and for several
years played with the Philadelphia
National League baseball club. Miss
Farrar's childhood was spent in her
native New England town Her voice
early attracted attention, and she was
sent to Paris and Berlin to complete
her musical education. She made her
debut at the Royal Opera House in
Berlin as Marguerite in Faust in
1901, and all Germany, from the
Kaiser down, went mad over her. She
repeated her success in Paris and
other European cities, and then re-
turned to America to take New York
by storm. She gained an army of new
worshippers through her appearance
in the film drama, in which she play
ed Carmen and Joan of Arc.

Y. w. G.. A. Worker
Writes From Russia

BeIow is a letter from one of the

Helen Ogden, of Orange, N. J. She is
doing cafateria and club work in Mos

October, she managed a hotel for
three summers, and had held the po-

Moscow, December 10.
There is another chance to get a
letter carried out of Russia by an
American going back home. The
Englishman with whom I was send
ing a letter last week is being held
up by the authorities, because NO
Fngiishmen are allowed to leave Rus
STA until two Bolsheviki, under arrest
in London, are free.
There has been very little snow
here, but much cold weather We
have wished for Fahrenheit Their
mometer. Ours is Reaumur and we
have had troublesome times figuring
out when it is below and when it is
above zero. For instance, our room
is kept at the legal temperature, which
is 10 degrees, and which we figure to
be As degrees, and let me state that it
feels it.
However, this morning it says it is
6 degnees, but whether degrees
means above or below zero is not
clear. Anyway, it is terribly cold.

THE Y. VIC. A. HOSTESS
HOUSE AT CAMP DEYENS
BY MRS. HERBERT D. GALLAUDE

1t was the Sunday before Christ
mas at Camp Devens. On account Of
difficulties in transportation, the
promised furlough had been taken
from the men, so quite a number Ct
them wired mothers, sisters, wives
and swethearts to come to them. By
Sunday they began to pour in. Know
ing 1t would be a busy day at the
Hostess house, those in charge asked
me to help out. 1 arrived about 4
o'clock and found the place full. 1t
IS an enormous room over a hundred
feet long and divided in the middle
by two huge stone fire places, one
facing the half used for the assembly
room and the other, the half used for
the cafeteria There are big couches
and comfortable chairs near the fire
place and in other parts Of the room,
and desks which are most inviting
All the chairs in the room and a
hundred extra ones, were in use. They
were grouped in twos mostly, still
there were many larger groups;
every one seemed at home. In few
minutes q soldier went to the piano
and began to play, and beautifully,
too. 1 spoke to him afterwards; he
told me what 1 had particularly liked
was his own composition. The camp
is full of genius and talent When
he was drafted he and his wife gave
up their home in Kansas. She came
on here and finding it too expensive
to live without working, had found
employment in one of the stores. AS
his cmopany of Engineers has had its
orders to sail, the men were not al
lowed to leave camp at all, SO every
spare minute these two have they
spend at the Hostess house together.
1 wonder if the women Of America
realize what they are giving to the
men and women who have sacrificed
so much, by putting up these houses.
For the men, even when they have no
women visiting them. it is a place
that breathes of home; and for the
women it is a place where they can
meet the man they love, husband,
son, brother or fiance, draw up
around the fire and talk instead of
walking the streets of thee antonment.
How much their good byes will be,
said in such a place, and think of the
many that will be said there.
But this is only one side of the
Hostess house work; others are just
as important. At the information

ETIQUETTE

Women of refinement do not polish
their nails highly, nor do they tint
them.
Gertie-When visiting away from

own bed and take care of your room,
unless there are servants in the house
to do it. Where there is only one
servant the guest must do this much
toward tightening the household Ia

FARMERS URGE CREATION
 EMERGENCY COMMITTEE
(By United Press)

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-American
 farmers, facing the danger of short
 crop this year and the gruesome spec
 tacle of a national food shortage, are
 demanding that the government take
 necessary steps to prevent the catas-
 trophe
 Over two million farmers, represent ed at the gathering of the federal
 board of farm organizations here to-
 day, are demanding the creation of a
 national emergency crop committee,
 with sufficient power and financial ap-
 propriation to aid them in raising this years crops.
 Representative of seven national farm organizations comprising the fed eral board of farm organization are planning to go before President Will son to plead for the institution of a national farm program that will as- sure a supply of farm labor and grant financial aid to the farmers to meet the emergency.
 With over two million mechanics and laborers taken from the farms, since America entered the war, and facing danger of a crop shortage this year, the farmers painted a gloomy picture today declaring immediate gov ernment action is imperative.
 Not only will the food supply be short, should the necessary aid to the 1 farmers be lacking, but shipments of food to the allies may be endangered, farmers declared today.
 Unless sufficient government ac. ] ton is taken, the country will face the | greatest food shortage ever" they said. | Labor has drifted to the industrial eenters to obtain higher wages. Farm machinery Is scarce. The seed supply s greatly diminished and farmers are 'yerburdened financially"
 They declared that "eyen if the con- 'titution must be ripped to pieces" he government must adopt a policy hat will prevent the danger Of crop hortage by distributing money, labor nd supplies to the farmer. The hands the food administration and the de- artment of agriculture are tied as ower to aid the farmers materially as not been granted them by con- ress. r Higher prices of food are threatened hould there be a crop shortage this ear, it was said. Price fixing is not avored.
