CARPET BAG AGAIN IN VOGUE
Scarcity of Leather Brings Back An cient SatcheI, Says Chicago
 Merchant

New York.-The high cost and short age of leather will be responsible for a revival of the old-fashioned carpet bag, according to J. N. Daley. leath- CT merchant of Chicago.
 Mir. Daley declares that the carpet bag already is appearing in some of the western cities he has just visited. They are proving popular, and he ex- poets to see them in the East shortly.
 "The war;" says Mir. Daley. lis go- ing to revive a lot of discarded necessi- ties of our forefathers. The carpet bag will be one of the first. The short age of leather will eventually preclude the making of leather valises and grips If it continues, and there will be noth- ing else left but the old carpet bag and it may prove just as serviceahe as the more modern equipment"

food Is eaten, as the appetite is soon CT satisfied and in consequence no food Is wasted. child should never be al- lowed to hurry or to eat when excited i; forcing q child to eat after excitement and play will often cause serious diges- tive disturbances.
 For d child from two to three. orange juice, prune juice, the pulp of stewed prunes, baked apple and some times seraped raw apple may be given but never just before or just after a feeding of milk.
 The yolk of egg contains the growth stimulant which all young animals should have in some form. Milk. but ter, cream, greeo leaves of various plants as well as clover and alfalfa contain this wonderful growing prin- eiple.
 Cereals of various kinds long and well cooked, If strained of coarse fiber will make q good food for the young child.
 Sweets are craved by all children and they should have them in the most digestible form which will be suffi- ciently satisfying. that Is In dried fruit like prunes, figs. raisins and apricots. Later a child may have n piece of wholesome candy after a meal, once or twice q week, but child is better in every way to get its sugar from fruit.
 Dry toast. stale bread. graham crackers and zwiebaek are all good breads for little people.
 Simple desserts should not be given until the child is two years old. Gus tards, baked fruit with cream. rice cooked in milk and ripe fresh fruit will make sufficient variety. Pastry should never be given to child until after ten years of age.
 The breakfast may be a little meal, but at noon the food should be the heartiest with supper of simple bread and milk, milk toast or some light, easily digested food like rice and milk.

 Each of them was dressed in his or her Sunday best, and toting home made pack. All the time the six old ex-Poilus footed away on their trum- pets as they led the bobbetty process sion. It reminded one of the Pied Pi- per who piped strange tunes in Hame- lin and led away all the village chil- dren when their elders refused to pay him for ridding the town of its rats.
 These trumpeters were leading Bel gian children to a warm meal at Eyian. Five hundred children, who had left their mothers and fathers in the land where food Is scarce, were on their way to big refuge in the old Chartreuse monastery at Le Chandler. There the Belgian government and the American Red Cross have fitted up home for thousand refugees.

 Green was an old comrade of mine. I visited him when he was dying of his wounds, and then saw him buried.

CRUSADERS
By Abbie FarWell Brown
 of The ViqiIantes.

They who have seen the vision,
 We who have dreamed the dream, Are comrades of mighty host.
 Crusaders of the Clean. Some are to fall in action;
 Some wave victorious swords; Some knit the pitying web of love;
 Some forge the flaming words. Still, shoulder set to shoulder.
 We tread the fields of fate, Our wills invincible to crush
 The serried ranks of Hate. And comrade heartens comrade
 Through voids of time and space, Flashing the sign upon his brow,
 A light upon his face.

 There was a big celebration in the Casino. The mayor of Evian made q speech. but most of the children were obviously much too tired to try to puzzle out his big words.
