group was most in demand.
LibertieS were generally higher. while
the Treasury AS were the feature Of

funds after the turn of the new year are

touched par in the middle of october.

DEATH OF EDITOR

The death of Guy Brinton
Barham, one OF the foremost
newspaper men in the United
States, owner of the Los Angeles
Herald, has been cabled from
London. Mr.. Barham's paper
has been inseparably associated
with the growth and upbulldlng
of Los Angeles, and largely to its
work and inceSsant energy is due
the proud position held by that
city today, as the largest and most
progressive on the Pacific Coast.
What the cable dispatches did not
state, is that Barbara was a kinS-
man Of Richard Harris Barham,
one Of the early Victorian poets,
whose Ingoldsby Legends were at
one time on every tongue. and who
was one of the most popular writ
ers OF his day.

Armistice Day
and Woodrow Wilson
BY Clara E. Wellham

Thousands of men and women
massed on either side of a flag
draped avenue from the capitol TO
Arlington. All races, colors and
religions were represented from
many countries, to honor him who
died for the peace of humanity.
Who can say with what conflicting
emotions they waited for that pro-
cession, symbolical of the spirit of
the great Masters teachings
Greater love hath no man than
this, that Of him that laid down his
life for another" A florists car
dashed by laden with blossoms on
the way to Arlington; another, and
many more of the same, the beau
tiful sentiment expressed by man
kind 10 the dead.
The tramp of horses feet as
they proudly marched by; standard
bearers; splendid looking men, sit
ting like Centaurs, until one
thought of the bursemen of old;
more cavalry.
The far away, the boom-of a
gun.
Artillery passed, infantry march
ing with clockwork precision
Again, at intervals, the mournfui
boom of gun.
Then we heard muffled drums
in the distance; presently a funeral
dirge. Soldiers OF every description
passed i'll rapid succession, ahorse
and afoot. The drums were COM
ing nearer. A tense attitude took
possession of the spectators, those
who stood by the wayside and
watched. All of self was forgotten,
for that which was borne along the
avenue on its journey to the last
earthly resting place. was what was
left OF the Unknown" 1t is not
all Of life to live, nor all Of death
to die.
The cortege went on its way.

CRUELTY TO CHILDREN

One OF the chief claims OF
Charles Dickens to permanent
fame is that he reformed many of
the social abuses OF his time.
Among his reforms was one al
fecting the harsh treatment OF or
phan children in public institu-
lions. Ii there is one thing i'll this
life that should excite the Sympa-
thy, the pity, and the kindiest SEN
timeutS OF humanity, it is the sight
of those little waits who are de-
prived OF their very birthright OF
tender maternal love and paternal
protection. 1t would seem that
they did not have fair start in
life. That all the happinesses Of
innocent childhood were denied
them. That the bright skies OF in
fancy were obScured by lowering
clouds OF pitiless indifference and
GOODNESS OF treatment.
Whatever may have been the
treatment OF the little wards under
the Board OF Children'S Guar
dams in Washington, the affair
should be gone into thoroughly,
and the Board itself invite a most

hours, and how it should be weighed
and estimated.
Group one which contains the
fruits and vegetables, should supply
at least pound and quarter, fresh
weight to the Individual diet each
day, and as much as four pounds
may be used in a day without danger
to the balanced quality of the diet.
Since dried fruits and vegetables
weigh on an average about one-slXth
of what they weighed before they
were dried, their dried weight should
be multiplied by six to obtain their
fresh weight" That is, if two
ounces of dates or dried figs are
eaten, the two ounces must be multi,
piled by six and twelve ounces added
to the weight of the fresh fruits and
vegetables eaten to get the total
amount.
AS has been said before, the exact
amount of protein needed daily by
the individual depends Jpn his size
and age. but there are certain limits
that IL should come within. The total
weight of food from the protein
group should be between SIX and
| fourteen ounces for each person each
day. In reckoning, the weight OF
milk. oysters and clans or meat with
large amount OF bone should be
divided by four and added to the ac-
tual weight of the other foods in
this group.
To find the weight Of cereals used
in the diet, count only three fourths
of the weight of bread and other bak
cry goods, such as doughnuts, plain
cake and rolls, and add this amount
to the actual weight of flours, GER
eals, breakfast foods, rice. macaroni
, and crackers. The weight Of any
dried peas or beans used should also
be added to the weight of the cereals.
The amount of food from this group
should be between SIX and sixteen
ounces a day.
To calculate the amount of sugar
in the diet add to the full weight of
the sugar used one half of the
weight of such foods as jellies, jams
and preserves and three fourths Of
the weight of candy, syrup, and honey
The amount of sugar used. by each
person daily should not be over three
or four ounces A pound week for
each member of the family is fair
amount.
In reckoning the amount of fat
used, add to the actual weight of but
ter, oil, suet. lard and other table or
cooking fats one fourth of the weight
of bacon, salt pork, fat pork sausage
oily shelled nuts, and unsweetened
chocolate One and one half to four
ounces of fat may be used for each
person daily.
A good deal of latitude is given
in the amounts of food in each
group and it must be remembered
that where the maximum amount Of
one kind of food is used smaller
amount must be used from the other
groups, because if the maximum
amount of each group is included, the
individual will be getting more food
than he needs and the excess will
probably be converted into fat.

BOY DOG CATCHERS

1t seems that in some OF the CT

tie boys a quarter to bring dogs to
the pound to be put out of the
way. William Allen White says
that "a boy who would entice 4
stray dog to the pound is too mean
to hive himself We agree with
him and think, furthermore, that

bride the boys of their community
to commit such acts OF trcachery,
