kidney or bladder affections? Any such
symptoms as swollen muscles or joints,

Correction

In report of the record made last
week by Heights soliciting team for
the Armenian fund, it was erroneonly
stated that the larger part of the fund
was given by members of the Christian
and Missionary Alliance. This was an
error. The church people were liberal
in their contributions, but the fund was
raised from gifts made by all Heights
families.

Cholera MOrbus

This is a very painful and dangerous
disease. In almost every neighborhood
someone has died from it before medi-
cine could be obtained or a physician
summoned. The right way is to have
a bottle of Chamberlain Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy in the house so as
to be prepared for it. Mrs. Charles

Cherry Harvest is On

Following on the heels of the straw.
berry harvest, the Hood River cherry
crop is maturing. The cherry crop
here is limited, most growers having
only few trees for home:use. j. r..
Nunamaker, who grows the fruit on a
commercial basis, however, is seeking
harvest hands. He expects to secure
sufficient pickers from the strawberry
fields.
Mr.. Nunamaker says his crop is of
excellent quality and that his yield,
except for Black Republicans, which
are light, will be heavier than normal.

rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If you
will eat slowly, masticate your food

cd and implored Well, you know what
happened Election Day-everybody does.
The East Side went overwhelmingly
BosheVism was left. The red flags were
torn down, and now everywhere-as far
as you can see-are the Stars and
Stripes. The reign of radicalsm is
over
1t nsav be that in the end the East
Side will become as conventional as
Central Park West. Personally, | hope
not 1t would be hard for New York to
get along without the slim, dark-eyed
girls with rings in their ears, the fat
babies III swaddling clothes, the young
mothers with all their bright-colored
shaWls: There isn't so much factory
work there any more; many Of the girls
are going in for stenography, and that
alone lends u different color to Social
problems. They still have the narrow.
winding streets and the tall tenements
with the clothes tluttering from their
chlmneys, and it is safe to say that the
East Side will continue to be-as it has
always been-a centre of progress and
ldcallsm and initiative. The girls have
promised the boys their Jobs again when
they come back, and plans for recon-
struction work, south of Fourteenth
Street, are vast and complicated. The
East Side has seen SO many changes
that it may be able to weather few
more but at least it will no longer be
a hunting ground for followers of the
red flag.

How East Side Women Voted

if you attempted to talk patriotism. The
Jews were afraid of the Gar in those
days, and any power that opposed the
Car was bound to be popular.
Then it was that the school children
began to assert their rights. The public
schools set about putting things right
in the children's minds Little Becky
and Rachel and Isador would come home
from school thrilled to the core over
boundaries and treaties and Americas
part in the great war. They would ex-
plain In their own tongue to their wor-
ried parents the real reason we declared
war. The meaning Of democracy began
to filter out through the school children
and through the school children to the
mothers. A school teacher is an idol
and a god to the East Side--whatever
she says goes, and her words are COM
mented on evenings in every crowded
tenement room by mother and father, as
well as all the children And in the
morning mothers lean from their win
dows to talk international ethics across
narrow courts where they hang the
clothes, and there are real fights in the
narrow streets over what they say Once
you get the East Side thinking there is
no limit to its power.

for, after all, it isn't a cheerful
thought, and no one goes in search of
gloomy ones. But still the fact remains!
Thousands of children Of school age are
untaught every day in New York City.
"Too bad," you may answer "What
has happened to the truant officers?"
But this is not the question to ask; in
stead you should query: "What has hap
pened to the teachers?"
There axe 400 vacancies in the city
schools. There are teachers leaving
daily because there are more attractive
offers elsewhere--and it's not solely for
attractive offers that they are leaving.
Here is case in point:

She had been a school teacher. In fact,

"Fiiing" gasped. That's not espe-
cially human work! I thought you felt

The war soon became personal issue
there, like the price of FISH on pushcarts,
and whether one could afford new shoes
for the baby this winter. Thcl.t the boys
began to come home from the camps,
resplendent in new uniforms, full of aCl-
miration for the way the government
ran things, thrilling with Importance
and ways military. The mothers and
sisters began to see that camp life was
really not bad thing for the boys.
They seemed to wear new manliness
and splendor. This, added to the under
standing of the war as interpreted by the
children, rather undermined the power
of the Bolshcvilli. They were still there

The First Liberty

When America declared war was, of

to people of different tongues, re-

THE British government has de-
cided to promote the building after
the war Of some 100000 workers.
cottages as part of the scheme of ma
tional reconstruction. An important
part Of the planning for this great
scheme is being done by women. At the
Ministry of Reconstruction (the govern
ment department to which has been in
trusted the consideration of all postwar
problems is a committee composed en-
tirely of women, which is doing nothing
else but consider the question of housing,
not so much from the point of view of
the builder and the landlord and house
owner as from the point of view of the
woman who has to work in the house, the
housewife.
Building in the past has been done by
men. They chose the site and the ma.
terials, they made the plans, and when
all these things were settled they built
the house. Women had no say in the
matter at all. But when the house was
built men ceased to have anything more
to do with it. 1t was the housewife who
became responsible for it, and upon
her fell all the responsibility for making
good, by her management and labor,
defects which were really faults of the
designer and the builder.
The Womens Building Committee of
the Reconstruction Ministry is seeing
what can be done to assure that the
houses of the future are so built as to be
more in keeping with woman's idea
than with mans Of what a house
SHOULD be-

they feel they may leave safely to
the men architects, so far as aesthetic
beauty is concerned. Interiors are their
strong point. They consider such things
as the fireplace in relation to the coal
hole. What are the clothes washing
arrangements and the bathing arrange
ments? If there is no bath it means
that water has repeatedly TO be carried
to some room or other, making work for
the woman of the house.

as a working principle, was not so very
practical after all. Street orators were
no longer received in the homes and in
vited to the tenements. Sometimes they
met with utter coldness and Indifference.
SO the third Liberty Loan went
through.
Then came the children bubbling with
enthusiasm for America-and many
women wearing service pins; nearly all
the women on the East Side wear service
pins. And now they were the ones who
caught the spirit and in their turn took
up the soapboXes. They realized that
the Bolsheviki, by their arguments for
pactism and against the government,
were threatening the welfare of the boys
in France. They didn't stop at soap
boxes, either; they went into the homes
and through the tenements talking to

The Problems of
Boarding Children

Some of the requirements OF the New
York Nursery and Child's Hospital are
set down here as typical Of the practices
of The best child-caring institutions en-
gagged in this work:
The problem is threefold: (1) to pro-
vide wet-nurses for our youngest in
fants, (2) foster mothers of experience
and Intelligence to attend to the feed
ing of bottle babies, and (3) the rela-
lively easy task of finding homes for
children from two to seven years of
age.
The aim of the Boarding Out Depart
ment is to provide normal family life
for each child in private home, with
as much preliminary care in the hos
pital as may be necessary for the cur
ing of illness, the remedying of phys
ical defects and the establishment of
the need of any course of treatment to
be carried on in the boarding home
for the betterment of the physical or
mental condition Of the child.
The nursing staff of the Boarding
Out Department consists of a super
visor and five other graduate nurses,
all of whom have had postgraduate
experience in children's work During
the summer months this number is III
creased to six. There is also an Italian
interpreter. One of the attending
physicians is the medical director of
this department, and to him are re-
ferred for decision all important mat
ters concerning the health of the chill
dren in the boarding homes.
Before being placed in private
home each child is given a complete
physical examination. When he is
found to be free from communicable
disease, from remediable defect, and
has been brought as near normal
health as the hospital can bring him,
he is turned over to the Boarding Out
Department, to be found home suited
to his needs.
These homes, self-respecting middle
class homes, many of them well-to-do
and none of them, with the possible
exception of few wet-nurse homes.

Mrs. VS. home was on the third floor
Of tenement on the far West Side,
next door to q junk shop.
AS Miss H. toiled up the dark, rickety
stairs Of the tenement she could hear
Some one singing, gayly, joyously-a
sound that ceased when she knocked
at the door Of the apartment. The door
was opened in moment by Mrs. V.
herself, still holding in one hand big
wooden ladle with which she had been
stirring some savory smelling mixture
on the kitchen stove. She beamed with
pleasure at the sight Of her visitor,
and, snatching some odd bits Of clothing
from rickety chair with the bottom
falling out, urged her to have a seat.
She had been washing the baby's
clothes, she explained, indicating line
strung across the corner of the room on
which some tiny garments were drying,
and stopped just long enough to cook
her husbands dinner.
Never before in all her experience,
and it was wide, had Miss II. witnessed
such scene Of disorder-bits of broken
furniture, soiled, ragged clothes every
where--on the foor-on the tumbled
bed in the corner, mingled with the piles
of unwashed breakfast dishes on the
oilcloth-covered table in the centre Of
the room. The tubs in which the clothes
had been washed were standing still un-
emptied. A heavy, mud-caked shoe Oc-
cupied the middle of the floor, and its
mate was in momentary danger of be-
ing scorched by the red hot Goals that
fell occasionally from the stove. The
room was hot and stuffy, and the odor
Of the cooking mingling with the steam
of the soapsuds was almost unbearable.
In spite of it all, there was the
mistress of the home singing as gayly as
lark, apparently oblivious to the de-
plorable state of her household.
'But, Mrs. ", where is the baby?"
MISS IL. gaSpeo as SOON aS She couId
find her voice.
"Oh, she all right. Come, see," and
she led the way to the open window.
There on the fire escape, wrapped in
an old shawl, was the baby; but not the
same old-faced baby that had left the
hospital only three weeks before-a
baby with the glow Of health in its
cheeks and bright, round eyes, q baby
that laughed and crowed and kicked up
it's heels with delight at the sight of it's
foster mother.
