Takes over Rent Curling Job.

WET FRGNA III gtttA wv
The Wisconsin railroad commission
has taken over the task Of admins
tering the rent curbing law. The rent
bureau which administered the law
under the general supervision of the
commission has closed its Office in
Milwaukee. This action was caused
by the refusal OF the lower house 10
concur la the senate bill apprOpriatlng
tu additional $4,000 for operation of
the bureau In Milwaukee. The law
sIplies only To Milwaukee county.
This denial OF additional funds 10
carry on the work ends all chances
of carrying on operations of the act,
Walter Bender. rent arbIter, said
when appraised OF the assembly action.
The senate unanimously passed the
bin allowing the extra money. The
lower house vote was 40 to II. The
Law remains in effect The argument
was advanced by the bills opponents
that high office rent had eaten up the
appropriation provided and that the
bureau had been too costly for the
work Il accomplished. II was stated
81 the floor Of the assembly that the
cost per ease had been practically SO.
which was held exorbitant.

HOT LUNCH MEANS MUCH
TO CHILDREN'S HEALTH

'Hot soup or q hot drink served at
school makes a good meal of the lunch
carried in the lunch box or dinner pail.
One cold meal day may not mean
much, but hundreds of cold meals in
the course of eight years may mean
the difference between a poorly nour-
ished child and well nourished child;
poo.' health and good health; poor di-
gestion and good digestion. says Miss
Gladys Stillmane extension specialist
of the home economics department of
the University of Wisconsin. She offers
these suggestions to teachers.
The equipment for serving hot lunch
es may be obtained in any of these
ways: The school board may finance it,;
some interested person may donate it;
The Woman's club, Ladies' Aid, or
Parent Teachers association may dom
ate it; the school may give an enter
tainment or box supper, the proceeds
to be used for purchasing the necessary
equipment, shower may be given and
many utensils supplied. If q table and
cupboard are needed, the larger boys
can make them out of dry goods boxes
or old desks.
The food materials may be obtained
by the method best suited to the COM
munity. The school board may allow a
certain sum for this purpose and the
teacher purchase all the supplies. The
children may bring two pennies day
or ten cents q week to cover expenses.
Each child may bring his share of the
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1921-10-14

supplies daily or weekly. Each child
may bring small share of the supplies
and small sum of money weekly. The
school may buy all the supplies with
money earned in some way.
At first, it is advisable to serve only
q cup of hot milk, hot cocoa, or soup,
as the hot dish. The equipment needed
for this purpose is very simple and in
expensive. Later more equipment may
be added. There should be:
l. A two or three-burner oil stove.
This will also be useful in community
affairs.
Q. A ANAL table or it's equivalent, q
dry goods box. The lower part may be
enclosed as cupboard for the dishes
and cutlery. A door in front will keep
out the dust and mice. Lard tins and
cracker boxes may serve an containers
for materials attractive TO mice.
8. Dishes for work in preparing food:
granite kettle with tin cover to fit,
size according to number of pupils to
serve, large long handled spoon, tea
spoon or measuring spoon, tablespoon,
measuring cup, quart measure, Iork,
pairing knives, potato masher, vegetable
brush, can opener.
A teakettle, an oven, and few bak-
ing pans are useful but not necessary
A one-compartment fireless cooker
made by the pupils will aid greatly in
decreasing the labor involved in prepar-
ing the lunch.
4. Dishes for serving: Tor Each child
q large cup with handle, spoon and
a paper napkin. These may be brought
from home by each child and kept at
the school or they may ee supplied as
part Of the equipment. For serving food
especially soup and cocoa, large pitch
sr is useful.

The officers and directors Of the bank
as we'll as the stockholders, feel that
owing to the continued and increasing
patronage of the people of Wabeno and
vicinity, it is due to their patrons to
give them better accommodations by
way of new and larger building with
modern equipment.
Modern banking conditions require
many conveniences for customers in
the transaction Of their business and
the relation of depositors and banks is
closely cemented by improved bank
equipments.
The erection of this architeeturally
beautiful modern fire and burglar proof
structure on one of the best business
corners of the town is another link in
the substantial growth of Wabeno
which is the reflection of marked de-
velopment that has taken place during
the past decade, the progress of which,
we predict, will be even greater in the
next five years than ID has been in the
past ten, for the reason that many of our
farms have now been brought up to
that point were the acres under plow,
the livestock, modern harms, silos, etc. !,
coupled with improved farming mach
inery and methods, are returning prof
it's to the owners which encourage and
will bring further and more rapid de-
velopmept from this time on.
