PENNY LUN CHES FOR
SCHOOL CHILDREN IS
MAXIM c BIG SUCCESS

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Judging by their
patronage the 3 cent and cent meals
put up by the Chicago board Of
education are making an enormous
success.
The city's penny lunch business
runs from 40 to so thousand customers
a day. Sales, measured in pennies and
nickles, amount daily between $4,000
and $4,000
I'VE have to chase the children
away" remarked DR. Frank G. Bru-
ner, director Of special schools under
the board of education. who has
charge Of this work. "Often we have
to stand at the door and protect the
lunchrooms so they won't be over
run"
DR.. Bruner said that penny lunches
had been established in 81 of the
city's elementary schools Their OBJ
ject, he observed, is to provide sub
stantial food at the least cost for
children coming from homes where
there is real necessity. Lunchrooms
therefore have been opened in districts
where, as a general thing. the peo-
pie are not rs well TO do.
For five cents Dr. Bruner said,
"the menu runs something like this:
Soup, bread, milk or cocoa fruit
or pudding.
"The bin Of fare at cents drops
the milk. And then q youngster can
spend only a penny If he wants 10,
buying any one of these articles for
1t. Or if he is not blessed with wealth
and yet has more than a penny he can
for two cents purchase a meat ball,
beans, spaghetti or rice.
THE board Of education is spending
sl5O,0OO a year to provide these meals"
added Dr. Bruner. The board donates
all service and equipment. That in
cludes the rooms, cooks, light, gas
the entire maintenance cost. What the
children pay goes into the food. We
buy at wholesale and the receipts
cover the purchase OF food"

Oklahoma City, Dec. 3.--Income of
Usage Indian allotees for the year
of 1920 will total nearly $4,000 for

Bonus payments of $1,000 are now
being paid to members of the tribe as
an extra dividend, derived from past
lease sales, the purchasers being oil
companies and individuals who pay
one-fourth the price of the lease at

NOTED SUFERAGIST
ISSUES STATEMENT
Mrs. Annie NJ. Sloan, of Buff
falO, Declares She Would
Not Take All the Money
In the World For Good
Tanlac Did Her.

Il will just say frankly I think
Tanlac is perfectly wonderful and |
wouldn't take all the money in the
world for the good it has done me.
said Mrs. Annie NJ. Sloan, recently.
residing at 275 Huntington Avenue.

Mrs. Sloan has. resided in Buffalo

States senate at Washington when
the suffrage bill was first introduced
and was honored with a membership
to the Washington Suffrage Club. Mrs
Sloan is also deeply interested in
church and charity work. Her state
ment regarding Tanlac will be of
widespread interest. She said:
Il have only been taking Tanlac
about four weeks, but am already
feeling better than l have felt in
years. Why, it just seems as though
l have been awarded a new lease on
life, and l would be doing an injustice
to others who are trying to find re-
lief not to tell what this grand medi-
cine has done for me-
Some time ago l was compelled to
undergo an operation for gallstones,
after which l got along very well un-
til about a year and half ago, when
l had a very severe bilious attack
These attacks became frequent and
with each one l would have to remain
in bed for four or five days.
About six weeks ago l had another

"Tanlac has relieved my troubles
entirely. l am enjoying splendid

strength and energy. Everyone should

doing business on a low
margin of profit. When
you refuse to pay your
bills, you perhaps cause
them to pay interest upon
borrowed money. If you
force them to collect what
you owe, you make them
pay a cost to collect which
may be more than the prof
its upon your purchase.

BUY WHAT YOU NEED

Not necessarily what you want.
There is a difference in supplying
your requirements and in pleas
ing your fancy. Keep within
your income even if necessary to
limit your purchases to only
those things that are necessities.

Your Reputation For Meeting Your Obligations
Can Be Easily Ascertained By Every Merchant
Pay Bills Promptly

Don't permit accounts to run
month after month. Merchants
who extend you credit expect
prompt settlement. You do
them an injustice and make it
harder for yourself by not
meeting your bills on time each
month when due.
