the article relating to the installa-
ton Of one or more catch basins on
Maple street. This latter article was
considered somewhat and Martin Hes
elton did not think catch basin

end of Maple street. The sum OF
$500 was raised for a sewer on Fac
tory street beginning at junction of
Hathaway street and continuing east

and maintain the same on Angle St.
but no action other than to pass over
the article was taken with regard to
installing and maintaining electric
lights from Neil Hill to the farm
buildings of the Woman's Reforma-
tory.
The citizens voted to allow 5000 of
the cemetery appropriation to the
Catholic cemetery and the seectmen
were authorized to hire such sums
of money as may be necessary for
current expenses in anticipation of
taxes the year ensuing. The town
voted to fixe the date of July, as
the time when taxes shall be due, with
interest after October LIST, If not paid

$43,s52ss in amount and specified in
Article 81 that the appropriation and
use of the proceeds and the payment
OF any interest which has accrued
upon the same, be ratified, confirmed
and approved. 1t was also voted
further that for the purpose Of rails

prations, the selectmen be authoriz-
ed and directed to prepare issue and

Also, it might be advisable for the
other sex to hold few et-to-gether
sessions for advanced instruction on
similar questions in the next few
months. At all events the public gem

HOW MUCH MEAT AND EGGS
SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHILD

In some families children do not get
enough meat and eggs. in others they
get to much. A good general rule
commonly followed is to give child
years old or over an egg every other
day, and about the same amount u
ounces of meat, fish, or poultry on
intervening days. If for any reason
these are omitted from the child g diet
special care must DO taken to see that
other suitable foods take their place -
preferably an extra amount of milk.
Broiling and roasting are the hest
methods Of preparing tender meat for
a child. Tough meat should be stewed
or prepared in fireless cooker or first
chopped and then broiled. 1t is inn
portant to teach children to chew ment
and other foods properly.
Fried meats, particularly those pam
fried or cooked in small amount Of
fat should mt be given to young child

FRENCH WAR ORPHANS FUND
Total Reaches $1,275, Sufficient 10
Care for Seventeen Children
for One Year.

A total Of $1,275, or enough to pro
vide for II French war orphans for a
year, had been contributed to the Le-
gion fund for the readoption Of the
war waits who formerly were proteges
of the late A. r. F., according to the
books Of the Legion national treasurer,
Robert Fl. Tyndall, up to the close Of
business on August IA.
Posts of the Legion, or individual
members or friends. may adopt a
French war orphan for Mt least one
year by contributing $50 for the first
years support. The money should be
sent to the French War Orphan Fund.
National Treasurer, indianapolis, Ind
1t will then be turned over to the
American Red Cross, which. will assign
the children and supervise the expendi-
ture Of the money.
A specific child will be assigned to
each adopting post or individual and
a photograph of each mascot will be
forwarded to the adoprer, who there
after may keep in touch with the war
orphan either direct or through the
Red Cross. The Red Cross bears all
expense of administration so that all
money contributed goes direct to the
support of the child.
