"HE following statement was

Washington:
"Thc stand of Mary Garrett Hay,

Children Garry the
Message Home

In the thirty schools where the
plan has been tried under the au-
spices of the Association for Improv-
ing the Condition Of the Poor, equip
ment is ready to use and the work
can go forward at once. The mere
feeding of the children is the least
important part Of the work. One
sensible meal day will not make a
healthy child. The educational work
accompanying the luncheons is
the great point, from public
health and an AUGMENTATION
standpoint The children can act
az medical missionaries, carrying
health lessons home and interpreting
them to their notwithstanding
parents. We all know that the
medical missionary spoke louder Of
Christian fellowship By his acts Of
mercy than could any worGs. The
educational program accompanying
the serving of the school lunches is
a Fundamental piece Of public health
work, guaranteed TO Americanize.
To set the program in motion an
appropriation of $4,000 for the
year beginning January l, 1920,
must be made promptly. The simple
luncheons planned mean that for 3
cents portion. 10 cents for the
total. a child can get wholesome,

that | would be willing to start over
again. but would know that il was
foolish for the party TO make a
nomination of that kind in a close
state, because it would be giving the
opposition great advantage TO
start with.
Moreover, the opposition Of
Wadsworth was OF rather more
aggressive character than in the
Ease of any other anti Senator COM
ing up for reelection. You see. he
was a member. b. marriage at least,
of the Association Opposed to the
Extension Of Suffrage to Women,
an organization which is still hang

ridiculous. To go cut and ask women
20 give their votes to man who
still insists they ought not to have
any votes TO give is to score a 100
per cent absurdity. II the Repub.
lican leaders try to discipline Mary
Hay they will make the mistake of
their fair young lives. One Of these
days men are going to suddenly
discover that women can see through
a ladder, and if we all survive the
shock things may 60 better there

Selling the
Health Idea

The plans for selling the idea, not
only OF enough food and the proper
body weight, but the right kind Of
food, include ell the appeals Of
tongue and pen. Examination Of the
children by physician Of the Health
Department is the first step; talks
by teachers at assembly periods link
up theory with practice in the lunch
room: the drawing teachers con-
tribute competition in drawing
food posters that are exhibited;
monthly weighing OF children IN

ton and a sense OF shame in being
I; weakling which initiates in favor
of milk and whole wheat and
against candy and pickles when the
youngster is caught in the throes OF
desire at the lunch counter with his
nickel cutched.
The climax Of this work with the
children takes place in the mothers
meetings, where the domestic science
teachers talk about food facts. as
illustrated by their children's needs.
This is what will become Of the
$4,000 that the Board Of Estimate
is being asked to appropriate for
school lunches. il only one could
estimate the interest on such an in

After the total of all income is

The Income Tax

Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 20 The
big Income Tax drive of 1919 is now
under way, and every preparation is
being made to handle the largest
collection in the history of Income
Tax. Il am not waiting for the fl
nal passage of the new Revenue bill
by Congress-" said Collector Emanuel
J. Doyle today, nor for the new regu-
lations and blank forms to be issued
To get this big tax in and get it ac-
curate and complete, ] urge that we
all begin now"
The income tax obligations i'm
posed by the old laws, as well as
the measure now in Congress, con-
sist of two distinct operations. One
is, to file return or statement of all
items of income and items of deduc-
tions allwable by law, and too do
this within the period named in the
law The Their is, to pay the tax, if
any is due.
Neither of these obligations can
be met without a careful review of
income and expenditure for the tax
year. That is the big job right now,
and that is why | say the Income
Tax drive is already under way.
Everywhere the pencil is busy. The
old year is done; all its fruits are
cleaned; and every person who Jared
well, or earned a good competence,
must analyze his own case in cid
figures.
