WHOLESOME FOOD FOR CHILD
Liking for Large Range Of Foods Is
Desirable for Diet and Best
Table Manners.

A meal in which all the important
kinds of food are represented tends to
keep the child in good condition and
to give him good habits of eating.
food specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture say. The
liking for large range of foods Is
desirable from the standpoint of diet
and also of manners, for 1t helps to
prevent a person from becoming dis
agreeable table companion-One who
is "fussy" about his food. Meals that
are planned carefully help also to
give the child some little idea Of
what those who know most about
foods have in mind when they speak
of a "balanced"-or. better, rightly
chOsen"-ratiOn. With children Ii Is
far more important TO suggest the
value of such a ration by the charac-
ter of the meals given to them than
to try to tell them what 1t is or to
what extent 1t has been worked out

EEGlN WITH POPULAR BREED
Not Wise for Beginner to Experiment
With So-Calied New or Untried
Kind of Fowls.

Unless imbued with the true fan
cier spirit, beginners in poultry cul-
tune had better not enter their novi-
att, with a so-called new" or nOn-pop-
ular breed. AS general rule sales
Of stock in this class are always linn
ilei, hence to build up trade is at
best slow process. There will also
be lacking a fellowship between neigh
bors breeding the kind of poultry, as
there will be less interest manifested.
Better begin with a popular breed for
which there is an established demand,
snd one that possesses commercial
Importance, either for eggs or meat,
or both.

REWARDS NOT ALL EQUAL

A week or two ago a tourist scram-
bling on the cliffs at Lulworth on the
Dorsetshire (England) coast, slipped
and fell, and though Lot injured, was
landed in such a position that he
could neither ger up nor down, says
a correspoSA mt. There he chung in
great dgnger until the coast guards
arrived. In order TO rescue him
men had to be let down at the end of
strong ropes, which were fixed TO bars
driven into the ground. Ii was diff

they got the man up In safety. lie

There are approximately 7,5OO,Ooo
automobiles in the United States ana
there are almost that many farmers.
In this year, when the most expen-
sive crop ever raised by the American
farmer seems likely TO pile up on his
hands for lack of a profitable market,
way is suggested to reduce surplus
by attracting automobile trade direct
to the forms.
Most city automobile owners drive
into the country once week or more,
and every farm located on an automo-
bile road has dozens or hundreds OF
possible customers for its fruits, vege-
tables, poultry and eggs passing ITS
gate every day. The war made the
market basket popular, and the ordi-
nary automobile owner who keeps
house would be perfectly willing to
take home a bushel or more of pro-
duce If by so doing he could lessen his
living expenses.
Stands Along Many Roadways.
I:oadside stands for the sale of
fru Is and vegetables are seen along
many highways and frequently have
proved profitable. But observation
shows that they have not been de-
veloped to the full measure of success.
One of the principal difficulties is that
the autoist does not see the stand I'M
til he is abreast of 1t, after which he
must make up. h's mind and check
his machine. Then, in nine cases out
or zen, he concludes that there will be
another stand farther along and that
it ls.~not worth while to turn around
and go back. One farmer i'm Pennsyl-
vaaia solved this difficulty by placing

THERE is one big issue to settle in

THERE is one big issue to settle in
Il the world of business and labor,
the issue of equal pay for equal work.
Evidences Of injustice are found
everywhere. One woman held a posi-
ton in college for which she was
paid 81 500 year. She resigned be-
cause she needed a higher salary: a
man took the position. He gets a sal
airy of $1,000 The; United States gov
eminent also pays women less than
men in many positions. y
There are several reasons for this
state of affairs. The fact that women
were not voters is one of them. That
will now cease to be deterrent.
Then, women do not insist on being
justly remunerated. Women are still
new in business. It is something of
woEder to them that they are con
sideredF worth a salary at all. They ac-
cept what is offered, and make no
kick when it is less than their brother
gets fer fer g :.:t!:.: position.
Then, unfortunately, women often
do not give as gaod ali account OF
themselves as men, Many women do
as web as men, few do better, but
many: DO not do as we'll. 1t is these
who make it possible to exploit the
rest.
1t lies with. women, finally, as to
whether or not they shall receive equal
pay. At should beh.emanded by every
woman.s Also, the : aiming of women
for earaing living must be improved,
