Altho handicapped by bad weather
and sickness among its workers, the
Berea Chapter has sent out boxes
every month. and we wish To re-
mind every one that the garments
and bandages we are making all go
to make some soldier comfortable.
During December and January.
Si5 bandages, case of gauze COM
presses, 81 sweaters, 72 pairs Of
sox, A pairs Of wristlets. and 81
scarfs were sent to Headquarters.
We cannot speak too highly Of
the knitters and workers who have
given up their time TO this good
cause.
The workrOom at Mrs. Ernberg's }
is very pleasant place in which
to sew and we feel very grateful 20
her for giving us so comfortable a
room. II is open every day from
4 to I, after the quarantine is lifted.
Let every one who has an hour 10
spare. spend il there.
Sewing machines are needed very
much. and if anyone has good
machine that is not in use for time
please loan il TO the Chapter for a
few months and help to increase our
supply OF garments.
There has been an appeal for
500 more gauze congresses, TO be
made before the list Of March. This
calls for a special room which we
hope TO get, and when our material
comes, a call will be made to every
woman in Berea and country around
to come and help us. Notice OF time
and place will be given soon.

GIVE CHILDREN MILK

II is somewhat discOncerting to
read the statements made by we'll
informed people that the price Of
milk is so high that children thru
out the country are not receiving
a sufficient supply. In the large
cities, milk is selling for IL to ~
cents a quart. This is very reason
able when the prices Of other food
stuffs are considered, and we doubt
whether there are very many fami-
lies who cannot afford 10 pay this
price for milk. The trouble is. most
people do not know its food value,
and therefore lead themselves TO be-
lieve they cannot afford il at its
present price.
DIR. Grace l.. Meigs, DirtctOr Of the
Federal Bureaus Child Hygiene Di-
vision. has said: Milk is the one
food that all young children must
have If they are 10 he strong and
healthy. Whole milk is rich in the
elements without which the childs
growth ceases and his health is i'm
paired; indeed there is no food
which can supply as well the needs
OF the growing child. There is no
substitute for milk in the diet OF
babies and young children. Yet the
increase in its price is so startling
that, as the reports the Bureau re-

MAGISTRATE ISAACS' COURT

Wednesday morning there ap-
peared before Magistrate Isaacs,
Chris Farris and Sam Shearer, both
colored, charged with aiding others
in procuring whiskey from the Sill %
yer Greek distllery. This is a prac-
ticc that has been going on for
twenty years, so testified those who
were arraigned before the court
yesterday. Magistrate Isaacs has
promised the maldoers the full ex-
tent Of the law. The trick that has
been played has always been thpt
lawful, or at least those mixed into
the game tried to make Themselves
as well as officers believe il so, was
for one party TO take out a full bar
rel. having previously been sub
scribed to and paid by-others. then
divided among the different ones
and disposed of in more ways than
one.
These men were fined fifty dollars
and costs and ten days in Jail. The
time is hoped soon TO come when,
in our Commonwealth. this kind OF
trial will be unknown. II is salts
flying that thfs Magesterial District
has made more convictions in the
last two years along this line. than
any other in the county. The reason
for this is the class of officers and
better people standing back of them.

The fact is that over there even the

FAMOUS WHISPERS OF
SOUSA THINGS OF PAST

Another tradition has gone into
the waste basket. John Philip Souss
has shed the whiskers that have
adorned his countenance for the last
thirty years-eVer since the time
when he was considered too juvenile
for a bandmaster. and planted whts-
kers to overcome the obstacle.
when asked what strange impulse
had led him to remove the facial
adornment, which is "a much of an
American institution as baseball or
mince pie. Mr.. Sousa said: "A mans
face must be as clean as he can con-
sistently make il In order TO obtain
the greatest efficiency. At the Great
Lakes military station there are H.
900 men, and only two sets OF whis-
kers. Commander Grimes and my
self owned these sets. The more !
associated with the youth. and ma
turity OF the day the more felt
something was wrong. One day !
looked at myself in tho mirror, and
thought. Lieutenant, It's time to ring
down the curtain on those whiskers.
The world is overwhelmingly against
whiskers: they are useless. Cut 'em
off,"
