They Tried It On the Cats

Lack of knowledge concerning the
right food to feed rather than lack q
food is the cause of much of the NAL
nutrition found among children in this
country, child specialists say, and
home demonstration agents employed
by county farm bureaus in cooperation
with the United States Department OF
Agriculture and the State Colleges are
being asked this year to teach the
kind of food that a growing child
should have.
Sometimes talks and demonstrations
are given to the mothers, and some
times they are given to the children
at school. 1t is an interesting fact
that the best results come when talks
with the mothers are supplemented
by talking directly to the children
Milk. whole milk. is always advised
as the ideal food for the growing child.
and sometimes the RESULTS of the ex-
periments made by an investigator
who fed milk to rats is told the chill
dren to drive home the necessity oil
drinking milk if they wish to be
healthy and strong.
Among the pupils who heard sucn
a lecture in school in Platte county,
Wyo., were three boys from one lam
ilv. All three were very much under
weight as were two younger brothers
at home. Their mother had had little
training in the care and feeding OF
children and the children showed Il.
she was very willing. however, to help
carry out the suggestions about food
that the children brought home from
the lecture.
Two months later the home demon
stration agent met the mother, who
told her how pleased the whole family
was at the children's gain in weight
and general health since their change
in diet. Then she said: Il must tell
you about the experiment that the
beys tried with cats to show me that
what you told about the rats was true.
They thought that cats ought to DO
as weel as rats in an experiment OF
that kind, and they had the cats snd
didn't have the rats. So they took two
kittens. and to one they only fed sepa.
rated milk, and to the other they gave
whole milk with tablespoon Of cream
added to each feeding.
1T turned out with them just ike
it did with the rats. to the intense
satisfaction of the boys The kitten
that had the whole milk grew big and
strong. while the one on the separated
milk diet was thin and puny.'

Horse STEALING IS

In these modern days of gasoline

and death in some places, to get a
horse that didn't belong to them

the days when suddenly horse would

Alex German, for many years chief
Of police in this city, tells many stories
of the chase and capture, and some
times the escape of the horse thief as

Probably the hardest piece Of work
in capturing a horse thief was per-
| formed by the former chief while
sheriff of Wayne county. 1t was a
team belonging to John F. Miller, and
| it took six months to recover them.
| Inquiry was made in surrounding
| towns" said Mr. German, "and the
only information we could get was
that the team had passed through a
nearby town, and the man that had
seen the horses said that the driver
looked exactly like a man he had
known, but who was then dead.
