Why the Cook Wept.

A few weeks ago somebody sent US
a heartfelt screed about how some
body had poisoned his dog. We print
ed it, (And, by the way, a lot of our
friends thought it was our dog that
had been poisoned and overwhelmed
US with condolences.) Now comes
another correspondent who mas suf-
fered the same sort of loss. But this
one has found a ray Of humor in the
affair.
After the tragedy the household sat
around and grieyed. Several members
said nice things + the departed. Then
the cook burst into loud lamentations.
"Why are you crying, Katy?' said
the unfeeling child. You used to kick
poor Toto out of the kitchen every
time he came in"
Heaven forgive me for 1T" sobbed
the cook. "Sure. he was a fine dog.
Many's the plate he has saved me from
havin to wash !" Cleveland Plain

What Dr. r. F. Lee, superinte Ient of the board of health declares is the biggest and best step in preventive medicine ever taken in this city, is the first nutrition class started recently at the Open Air school under the aus plces of the board of education, board of health and the New Britain Tu- berculosis Relief society
 Children enrolled in the class are now showing average weekly in- creases in weight of two pounds, while one of the children gained four and one-half pounds in a week. Chil- dren are given a thorough examna- ton, the physical causes for their failure to come up to proper weight are removed and they are placed on a regular schedule, including dieting, rest, fresh air and sexercise. The mothers as well as the children at tend classes and are instructed in the way to bring their children up to proper weight.
 There are 20 children in the class, this being the largest number that can be properly accommodated at one time. As each child reaches the proper weight he will be given a cer- tificate and discharged from the class to make room for another. It will be possible in many cases to allow the boy or girl to return to district schools instead of continuing study at the open air school, the health au-

, thorities believe. The fullest of CO., operation is being given by the school committed.
 At the outset, the relief society and health department examined 57 chill dren, 37 of whom were found to he seven per cent or more underweight. Letters were sent to the parents of all, requesting that they make an ef- fort to attend classes in nutrition. Of the underweight children, 20 were en- rolled in the first class.
 Of the causes of malnutrition, the health authorities have found five general classitications cover all. Physical defects, principally tonsils and adenoids, lack of home control, overfatigue, faulty food habits and faulty health habits are the reasons attributed.
 The program of correction followed out is as follows:
 1. Complete physical, mental and social examination made with the child's parent present.
 2. Removal of physical defects in- terfering with nutrition so that the child may be free to gain"
 3. Attention to the following:
 a. To obtain full cooperation of the parents of every child in the class. This is absolutely necessary.
 b. To get children to take proper food at frequent intervals.
 c. To prevent overfatigue.

have good time playing in the snow.
 Now, 1t happened that Jimmy Rab- bits mother had been meaning to pay call on Mrs. Bunny that day. Soon after Jimmy started forth on his search for Belinda, nis mother put on her shawl and set out for Be- iindas home.
 She hadn't gone more than six jumps before she noticed some pretty red yarn that seemed to stretch on and on into the woods.
 Mrs Rabbit was delighted with her find. She promptly decided to make her call some other day And turn ing about, she hurried back to her house to get her knitting needles. She would use that yarn to knit Jimmy a pair of red mittens for Christmas
 Mrs. Rabbit spent a very pleasant afternoon. knitting in the woods. For three days. after that, she seized every moment that she could steal from her homework to go and knit upon the mittens that she had begun for her son. She was getting on fa- mously, until there came heavy snow She had just finished one nit ten. And when she went into the woods to start its mate she couldn't find the end of the red yarn any where. It was buried under the snow.
 Of course Mrs. Rabbit was disap- pointed. T can't give Jimmy the nit tens for Christmas" she thought. "At least. can't give them to him this year. But next spring. when the snow melts, I'll look for that yarn. And then can knit the other mitten
