GRAPEFRUIT AT MORN
MAKES DOCTORS FORLORN

They say If you eat an apple day
you keep the doctor away. But what
about the grapefruit?
AS fact it is the rhyme, the apt
ness of the thought, that has helped
make the apple famous, with all due
respect to the advertising power Of
Mother Eve. "A grapefruit a day
keeps the doctor away" had it been
sent trippingly from the tongue Of
America, would have spelled health
and happiness throughout the nation
and incidentally have developed a
great industry of countless value to
our railroads, to our shipping, to our
farmers-in fact, to all the people in
every section Of the country.
OF course, there IS no rivalry be-
tween the apple and the grapefruit.
Both are health giving and delicious.
One should be eaten in the morning
and the other at night. and so, instead
OF a divided couplet, we might sug-
gest a modest guartrain for general
study and dissemination.
An apple each night
And grapefruit each morn
Make men and maids bright
And keep doctors forlorn.
Clemenceau. the Tiger Of France,
announces that grapefruit is the most
vitalizing and health giving Of all
foods, and such an endorsement, COM
ing from one who has demonstrated
his belief in the practical application
Of beneficial food theories by eating
onion soup for breakfast is worthy of
consideration.
Millions of Americans would be
healthier and happier II they ate
grapefruit every day. Medical men
say 1t is the most beneficial Of all
fruits.
There is a very practical side to
the potentiality of the grapefruit.
What the orange and the prune have
done for California. grapefruit can do
for Florida. There are tens of
thousands Of acres Of Florida lands
that will grow the most luscious

New Marriage Service.

The woman minister Of the Grevllle
Place church. In London. Rev. Con-
stance Mary Coltman. NJ. A.. b. d., has
composed q new marriage service
which she reads at all weddings at
which she of1ciates.
The most interesting feature Of It
is that both bride and bridegroom
plight their troth with a ring, each
placing q ring on the others finger.
The word "obey" does not occur In
the service, and the man and woman
make exactly the same vows. Mrs.
Coltman has also written new chris
tening service.-LOndOn Tit-Bits.

Duties Of Board.

DutitS VI DudIQ.
1t is made the duty of this Board
to keep itself fully advised as to tho
condition and management Of all in
stitutions of penal Of cleemosynary
mature in its county or city, and to
interest itself in all matters pertain
ing to the social welfare Of the peo-
pie Of its district.
Through it's executive officers this
Board will be vested with tho care
and supervision of the poor, and will
administer the funds now admins
tered by the overseers Of the poor;
| it will administer mothers aid funds
in accordance with State law; il
will supervise persons placed on pa
role by the hospitals for the insane,
colony for epileptic and eeble-mind-
ed, industrial schools and other State
institutions; it will supervise depen-
dent children placed in said county or
city; it will act as chief probation
officer in its county or city, and it
will, in general, cooperate with State
agencies in fostering intelligent and
humane care Of the States Deepen
dents and in conserving the resousces
of the State.
Economical Administration.
Virginia spent for the year ending
September 80, 1921, s5,976, 437.29 in
caring for her delinquents and de-
pendents. Individual almshouses ar~
being maintained by the counties Mt
an enormous overhead expense and
per capita cost.
State criminal costs during the last
year amounted to 546,686.60.
1t is believed that with the forma-
tion of these boards, consisting Of
citizens Of the various counties and
cities, economical administration of
the institutions indicated will be OIL
tanned and dependents receive intell-
igent and humane care.
Section 1, Chapter 482, Acts of
1922, provides:
"The circuit court Of every city Of
less than $4,000 inhabitants or the
corporation court thereof, if there be
no circuit court, and the circuit court
of every county of this State, shall
appoint special justice Of the peace,
preferably person trained in the
Juvenile and Domestic Relations
Court for such county or city, who
shall hold CO for term Of six
years, and until his successor has
been appointed and has qualified, un-
less sooner removed as provided by
Section 2705 of the Code of Virgin
10 of 1919; provided that said cir
cult court may designate or appoint
the same person to act rs such spec
ial Justice for city and one or more
counties, or for two or more coun-
ties, within his judicial circuit"

dren declared delinquent and not
suited for probation direct to the
State Board of Public Welfare, which
board is required to establish q re-
ceiving home where these children
will be given mental and physical

is hoped that with these acts anc
with the help of local Boards of Pu..
lie Welfare, circuit courts and other
agencies, the jails of Virginia may
be enlptied Of children, who continue
to serve time therein.

already in force, affects all children
