Under somewhat similar arrangement, in
fourteen schools in Kansas City. Kan, fresh
milk is served to students as part of the plan
to raise the standard OF health. The Red Cross
nurses who carry out this work sell half pint
OF milk and two graham crackers to the pupils
for five cents, which is just fraction under

say, equals in nourishment two eggs or large
helping of meat.
OF these two systems it is perhaps the bet

borne by the school district. The right to

Pensions for Indian War Veterans.

around the settlements OF Kacsas against Roman

devotion, nor had more direct effect on the
course OF events it influenced than did the de-

Leaders Seldom Go to Jail.

In ringing pronunciamento, emitted at
Washington, Charles S. Barrett, president of
the National Farmers union, advises the
members in Kansas to go to Jail rather than
submit to any effort to require them to market
their crops. Perhaps the devoted followers OF
Mr. Barrett will take his advice, ard tile empty

harvested big fields of wheat, but are unwilling

monition of the president that tile farmers

paying price fixed by the union. 1t was just

willing to let the country both freeze and

In Behalf of Tenants With Children.

doubtedly is regarding the matter from the
parents standpoint. And yet the sentiment Of
all fathers and mothers will not be unanimous.
We are all sure enough, even though each
day we assure our children that they are the
worst in the world, that they are in reality
much better behaved than those youngsters
down the block. If we had a house to rent,
we would not let that family with those lusty

Such are the difficulties facing families seek

noisy they are not in good health. 1t is con-
cevable that there may be isolated instances
where houses or fats are too fine to be sub

hands, but there is no general justification for
the rather widespread reluctance to accept teH-
