Why Daylight Schme
Failed.

The secret has leaked out that the
real reason why the farmers were OPP
posed to the daylight saving plan was
that they were not able to get the
roosters to adopt it. The he-chickens
insisted on going to work on the old
schedule. In open defiance of Con
gress, they refused to knock off the
extra hour from their morning beauty
sleep. So, under the new plan, in
stead of the ROSTERS waking up the
farmers, it became necessary for the
farmers to wake up the ROSTERS. This,
quite naturally, aroused feelings of
mutual antagonism. No farmer rel
ishes the task of going out each morn
ing while the moon is still riding high
in the heavens and cutting a barnyard
full of roosters off the perch. So
there was nothing to do but repeal
the law-Thrift Magazine.

Accuse Man Of Five Robberies
in Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 6.--An in
vestigation by county police Thurs
day continued to pile up evidence
against John Foster, the negro held
in the Tower, accused of serious of
burglaries, nd resulted in Foster con-
Tossing to still another burglary.
According to the officers, the negro
admitted that he broke into and rob-
bed the home of Thomas johnson in
Cheshire Bridge road last Saturday
night. a shotgun, recovered by
Lieutenant Jordan and Policemen
Stowll and Hornsby in the negro
home, was identified by Johnson as
having been stolen from his home.
The officers also investigated Thurs
day a batch of pawn tickets found
in the Negroes home. These tickets
were believed to represent stolen
goods.
The addition of the Johnson bur
glary now makes toll of five cases
against Foster.

several glasses of water between
meals, in addition to the fluid it takes
with its meals.
Do not give your child tea, coffee,
wine, beer or any alcoholic drink.
Do not give a child highly spiced
foods, such as pickles and herring.
Do not give child fried foods or
heavy, greasy stews or GRAVES.
A child should have at least two
glasses of milk a day. Use only bot
tied milk for children.
Do not feed between meals, except
to give a piece of bread and butter,
not cake. after school, if very hungry.
A child should not take a drink
when it has food in its mouth. 1t
should eat slowly and chew the food
thoroughly. The best way to accom-
plish this is to make the child remain
at the table until you have finished
with your meal.
The principal articles of diet should
be served warm or hot, and all the
meal should be served in an appetiz-
ing way.
With care you can teach a child to
like every kind of food that it ought
to have.
So that it may not swallow dirt and
dangerous germs, a child should be
made to wash its hands before every
meal. See that the dining room and
kitchen are clean and free from flies.

Standards For Child.

WASHINGTON, oct, 25.--As the
result of conferences held in several
cities last spring, the United States
Children's Bureau has formulated
standards for Child Welfare, .
which, it is stated, may be taken a.
IN embodiment of the best expert
opinion on the needs and rights OF
childhood.
The bureau says these standards
are the minimum and do not limit
the degree of protection which an
advanced state mihgt desire to give
Is children.
Among other things they recognize
that the protection of the child must
begin with the protection OF the
moter, and that proper care be at
lorded her before, during and after
childbirth. Emphasis is placed on the
need for afamily income that will en-
able the mothers of young children
to stay in the home, instead of going
out to work, with consequent neglect
of home and family
More and better schools, vocational
schools, vocational guidance and
training school lunches and medical
supervision are the standards for
school children.
The standards for working children
would put stop to child labor in this
country, it ia stated. They include a
minimum working age of o years
part-time compulsory continuation
schools for working children between
and 10, and public responsibility
for the health and general welfare OF
the working child.
Abundant recreatonal facilities
are included, as is provision for the
care and training of special chill
dren-defectives, delinquents and de-
pendants.

Ntw York "Y" News.

New York--Once more the cycle
of years has borne the multitude of
members of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association of North America
and throughout the world around to
the Annual Week Of Prayer. Begin
ming Sunday, Nov. 9, every day of the
entire week is to be a day of special
prayer for the young men and boys
of the city and country. In the Gen
eral Associations and at the various
branch association meetings will be
held and prayers offered in thanksgiV-
ing for the success of the work, for
future guidance and the influencing
of young men to accept Christ as
their personal Saviour, ideal and
friend through life.
The Protestant church and its
auxiliary organizations all agree that
it is good thing to hold at times
special seasons of prayer to call at
tention to the wisdom and blessed
ness of being on Christ's side. At
one of the branches of the Young
MEMS Christian Association about
two years ago, during the Week of
Prayer Services, four young men who
had followed the association for
years without much thought of the
religious side of the work were
greatly impressed by the earnestness
Of the secretary and the religious
work committee in the conduct of
the meetings, and before the week
was out each of the four was happily
converted. One of these young men
is now the Boys Work Secretary at
the Carlton Avenue Branch of the
Brooklyn, N. Y, Y. NJ. c. A.; another
Is the Librarian of a large Sunday
school, and the other two are active
workers in the church.
1t is suggested that in every asso-
citation the coming week, in groups
and in general meetings, young men
and boys prayerfully invited to be
come Christians, and also that at
every such gathering during the
week special prayers for guidance,
wisdom and courage be made for the
delegates and leaders at the Fortleth
International Convention Of the
Young Mems Christian Association OF
North America, which meets at De
troit, Mich, from Nov. 9 to %, IN
elusive It is very fitting that the
Week Of Prayer precedes the lntcrEa-
tional Convention. The officials md
delegates will no doubt carry with
them. to this great meeting many rich
spiritual thoughts and experiences rs
i result of the Week Of Prayer.
The call for the general observ-
ance of the Week Of Prayer was is
sued by Chairman Alfred V. MarliaQ
Of the international committee and
DIR. John K. Mott. the General Sccre
tary, who was at the head Of all the
Young Mems Christian Association
war activities.
The call in its first paragraph -ays;
"On the authority Of the last inter-
national convention, we call upon
all Young Mems Christian Associa-
tons throughout North America, as
veil as upon the churches, to observe
the period Of Nov. 9 to lG, inclusive
rs a Week Of Prayer for young men,
We issue this call with a profound
sense of the supreme need at the
present time of intercession on behalf
Of the young men and boys Of the
