MILK TO THE RESCUE


Much has been said of undernOurish-
ment of school children, and causes
have been sought by teachers and
patrons with the result that school
lunches are being served in many
schools of California. Others are serv-
ing at nominal cost something warm
for children to have in addition to
lunches brought from home.
In San Francisco q survey revealed
that 81 per rent of 44,500 pupils ex-
amined were undernourished. 0. j.
Mitchell of the California dairy cOun-
Gil, commenting on the situation, says
the surprise is not in the number of un-
dernOurished children so much as in the
fact that parents of these children are
responsible for the condition because
they have not controlled and directed
appctites Of the children for their
own good. Such control, he says, is
parental duty.
The conditions of undernourishme
is not confined to any class, but pre-
walls alike among those who come from
the well to do homes and the homes of
the poor. Mr.. Mitchell blames delica-
lessen meals in apartment house dis

condition. Children in their growing
period need real meals. Neither
"snacksN nor "fillers' are suffic-
ent The San Francisco schools are
meeting the situation by bottle milk
service and milk and bread service
for pupils. Though the milk distribu-
tion has been in force but brief per-
iod results physically and mentally
are said to be proving of invaluable
benefit.
The plan of free milk for California
school children us well as free text
books, is being seriously considered by
Parent-Teachers associations, Women S
clubs and others interested in child
welfare.

IMPERIAL VALLEY WEATHER
HOLDS THEM HERE

Several FL Centro women who came
down from the mountains to vote Mon
day, are lingering for few days to en-
joy the delightful weather that has
prevailed lately in the valley. me
mountain atmosphere has been rather
cool for enjoyment and some OF the
women have been heard to express a
regret that they had started vacation
so early.
Those who have lived in FL Centre q
number of years are noting decided
tendency toward shorter vacation per
iods, many only going ont at the close
of the summer for a rest and more go
ing not at all. June in Imperial county
is really delightful. There are some
warm days, but refreshing nigh
breezes and the lovely mornings com
pensate for whatever discomfort nooI
may bring.

The Singer and the Soma

A song Is great adventure. Thou
sands write 1t, tens succeed; and when
they have succeeded, It's fate still lies
entirely with the singer. No one ever
had 1t so much In his power to make
the worse appear the better cause, or
to refrain from so doing. The ancients
placed ThamyriS and Narada among
the gods; the mOderns pay Their coun-
terparts royalties. But the singers
personality Is still incalculable In
terms Of canonization or Of cash. That
personality means all that he has been
able to crowd into his life; and he NAV
still enlarge it. A good way to do that
is to read all the poetry that he does
not sing. and to listen to all the music
written for some other instrument
than the voice.-A. H. Fox Strang-
ways.

iNDIA'S RIGID CASTE SYSTEM
Religious Laws, Handed Down for
Centuries, Are Given Most I'm.
pIicit Obedience.

The religious laws Of Brahmanism
divide the Hindu people In India into
four principal hereditary classes or
castes-the 'Brahmans (priests),
kshatiyas (rulers and warriors).
vasiayas, (merchants and husband
men), and Sudras (mechanics, labOrerS
or servants), the first three being
known as "twiceborn" and the last
as "Once-born" These original four
castles, however, have become to
great extent Sub-divided - the
men being known by their work
or trades, as the caste Of shoe
makers and the "caste" Of Sweepers-
SO that nowadays the Brahmans alone
are said to remain as distinct caste.
Aside from all these are the Pariahs
Cor outcasts) who have no caste Ac-
cording to the Cyclopedia of India,
'"The effect of the caste system Is
that no man may lawfully eat with
any individual of any other caste, or
partake of food cooked by him, or
marry into another caste family; but
he may be his friend, his master, his
servant, his partner"

INCIDENT POINTS A MORAL
Happening Of the Middle Ages Which
Should Give Food for
Thought Today.

Because they chatter a great deal,
the people of ancient days said that
magpieS were women changed into
birds! That was not very gallant
thing to say, but magpieS do not live
In Canada, and there could have been
no reflection on our ladies. They are
pretty white and black birds, shaped
like u crow, and about half as big.
They are fond of pretty things, and
sometimes pick up articles they fancy
to beautify their homes. In Florence.
Italy, there Is lofty monument on
top Of which stands, or did stand,
statue of Justice with pair Of scales
In her hand. Once the Duke Cosmo
lost a pearl necklace which an unfOr
tunate little girl was accused Of steal
ing. They put her to torture and
racked her poor little limbs almost to
pieces, until, unable to bear the pain.
she said she would plead guilty to
anything. Then she was hanged That
day terrible storm visited Florence
The lightning struck the scales In the
monument and down fell a magpies'
nest with the pearls in it! If you ever
visit Italy, be sure you look for Stazzi
monument, with its broken scales, and
remember it is very wise to be "slow
to judge. e.'-Montreal Family Herald.

l nave no means of knowing

discipline yourself enough. When one

has still to consider: How much of

much Of 1t is my own wild emotion

mains that Is truly belonging to this
ideal character and these ideal circum-
stances? 1t Is in this laborious strug-
gle to make this distinction, and in the
determination to try it, that the road
to the correction Of faults lies. Per

WordsWorth's View Of Nature,

There was In Wordsworth's own
character, as we have seen, certain
natural contentment, a sort of Unborn
religious placidity, seldom found
1nted with sensibility so mobile as
which was favorable to the quiet,
bitual observation of inanimate or
'erfectly animate existence. His
life Of SO years is divided by no very
profoundly felt Incidents, It's changes
being almost wholly inward; it falls,
like his work, into broad untroubled,
perhaps somewhat mOnotonOus spaces.
What 1t resembles most Is the life Of
one of those early Flemish or italian
painters who, just because their minds
were full of heavenly visions, passed,
some of them. the better part Of 60
years in quiet systematic industry. And
this sort of placid life matured in
Wordsworth quiet unusual sensibil-
ity, really innate in him. to the sights
and sounds OF the natural world
