MILK FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

Going on the proven theory that
prevention is far superior to cure,
and that proper nourishment is one
of the greatest weapons extant in
the fight against tuberculosis, par
ticularly among children, the Kings
Daughters have placed free milk
for school children in Owosso. The
innovation was put into effect this
week in the first grade at the Lin
coin school, Miss Clara Osborne
teacher.
One-half pint of milk is given to
each child every morning, when they
come in from recess. The milk is
sucked from the bottles through
straws, and they drink it eagerly, and
with relish. Each child brings two
cents per day to pay for the milk, if
they are able. If they are not it
makes no difference, they get the mill,
just the same. So far they have paid
two-thirds of the cost, and the Kings
Daughters make up the deficit.

LET EVERY MAN CHIP IN

According to Senator Irvine l..
LenrootAof Wisconsin,, the first act Of
the new Congress will be the passage
of a resolution making peace with
Germany. In a recent address in
New York City the Senator declared
that the repeal of the war time pow
ers of the President would closely fol-
low the return to peace, and revision
of Federal taxation would be taken
up Immediately thereafter. Mr.. Len
root referred to the natural impulse
of some Of our citizens to shift the
burden of taxation to others, ten
dency which he deprecated. with
proper revision Of our tax laws" said
he, "we can do much to aid in bring
ing about permanent prosperity.
There is only one just rule of taxa
ton, and that is that every man
should bear the burden of the gov
ernment according to his ability"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
1T WILL NOT START HERE

Washington, Dec. 21.-(Special
Observation-Disclosures Jul
ius Kahn Of California recently ad-
dressed his colleagues on the subject
of Japan. He has visited the country
and studied its people and customs,
and is convinced that much of the
controversy between the Japanese
and Americans is due to the intense
ly emotional nature of the Orientals.
Mr.. Kahn sees no prospect of war be-
tween the two countries, so frequent
ly mentioned in the press, but utters
the warning that the United States is
ready for any eventuality that Japan
may force upon her. "You hear no
threat of war;" says he, con the part
of American statesmen, politicians,
or even demagogues. l know I utter
the earnest hope and the wish of
every patriotic American that peace
between the two countries may con-
tinue pereptually, but say, in all can
dor and in all frankness, that if the
statesmen, the publicists, the politi-
clans, the agitators, and the dema-
gogues Of japan really want war with
the United States they will have to
be the ones to bring it on and not
the Americans"

Parking Back Of Cars AL
ready Parked at Curb
Prohibited.

Because of the heavy traffic on
Second street on Saturday nights, the
city has been forced to place traffic
police at the intersections Of Seneca
street. Wilson avenue and Des Moines
street, and also to enforce new rule
prohibiting automobiles from parking
back of cars which are already parked
at the curb.
Often, City Manager Long declares,
automobiles will be parked at the curb
on both sides Of the street and other
cars drive up behind them and park
there, so that they are almost in the
middle of the street. In case Of a fire.
the fire wagon would be unable to get
through the street. and it is almost I'M
possible for any vehicle to pass through
such congestion. Therefore, cars are
prohibited from parking in this man
ner and may stop only for the purpose
of discharging passenger and in nc
case may the auto be left standing
back of car which Is already parked
at the curb.

Harold Near Gets Telegram
From Sister That her
Younger son is.
Drowned.
BODY NOT FOUND
Occurred at Thompson Falls
Montana, Home Of
Family.

Lieut.. Harold Near, pilot for the
Webster City Aero Co.. Thursday even
ing received a telegram from his sister
Mrs. A. 8. Ainsworth, Of Thompson
Falls, Montana, that her second son
Dwight, had been drowned In the morn
ing while swimming In Clark's Fork
Of the Columbia river. A second tel
egram this morning brought the fur
her sad news that the body had not
been recovered and that no hopes were
held out that it would ever be found.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ainsworth, both for
mer residents of this city, have lived In
Montana for a number of years. They
had two children, the older being a son
16 years of age. Mrs. AinswOrth was
formerly Miss Mable Near.
Clark's Fork of the Columbia river
flows through Thompson Falls not far
from the AinswOrth home and the boys
frequently swan there. The current,
however, like that Of many Of the
western rivers. is rapid and treacher-
ous 1t is due to this and to the size
of the river, which is large one, that
the body will probably never be re-
covered.

A Reminder.

Owing to the number of pienics be-
ing held and the large number of peo-
pie every day going to the parks, it is
necessary for all to observe the rules
of the park board which are posted
in the parks.
The park board and the trustees of
the library desire to have all enjoy the
privileges of Kendall Young park in
every detail and in order that all may
get the full benefit of this beautiful
spot, all who go there for enjoyment
should cooperate in making the park
one grand picnic ground. 1t Is ex-
pected that all picnickers will leave
tables and seats clean. Stoves and
wood are free for those who wish to
cook food or make coffee. Owing to
there being no lights in Kendall Young
and Nokomis parks no one will be al
lowed in these parks after 0:3O p. IN.
This rule must be strictly observed.

Fred 1. Miller Of This City
Returns From Meet !.
ing.

Fred l.. Miller has returned from
MOoseheart, ILL.,, where he took part In
the convention held by the Loyal
Order Of the Moose. The community
Of Mooseheart is unique. When mem
bers of the order die leaving dependen,
children the Moose lodge steps in and
gives the children home and educa.
ton, both of which are of the best. Al
present $40 homeless boys and girls are
being grown into useful man and wo
manhood. The Moose are prepared tc
give them high school educations and
each child may select trade out OF
the twenty vocational courses taught.
An interesting reflection Of the ideas
|of the Moose Is their buildings which
|are thoroughly fireproof. sanitary and
safe for children. All permanent build
ings are made of concrete block and
the rooms are bright, sunny and scrupu
lOusly clean. The concrete block are
made at MOOseheart by students, and a
great deal Of the actual construction
work is done by Mo0esheart students
under expert direction. They build
their own homes and at the same time
they learn useful trade. Nation wide
attention has been focused on the
beauty and permanence Of Mooseheart
During the convention the $125.OO0
Philadelphia Memorial hospital given
by the Philadelphia lodge and built OF
the famous MOoseheart concrete block
was dedicated. Funds were secured for
FIVE additional buildings. There were
many interesting addresses, among
which was one by Ambassador Sharp
who represents the United States gov
ernment In France,
