SOUTHWESTERN DIVISION
ORIGINATES SYSTEM
Red Cross in Seven States Has Travel.
ing Nutrition Teachers.

The Southwestern Division, Amerl-
can Red Cross, has originated a new
form of nutrition instruction which Is
being copied by other divisions
throughout the United States. The
Southwestern Division embraces the
states of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas,
Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Texas.
This plan is that of the itinerant
nutrition worker. Three years ago
two, such workers were put into the
field by the division. Last year the
number was increased to seven and
now there are twenty, with con-
stantly growing demand for more.
The itinerant nutrition worker Is
the worker who goes from chapter to.
chapter instructing classes in nutri-
ton, talking to schools on proper food
values, addressing Mothers Clubs and
other organizations on the Importance
of proper diet to correct the results
of malnutrition among American chill
1ren.
Here Is the way the itinerant worker
organizes her work, according to the
Director of Nutrition Service in st.
Louis: Under the advice of local
physicians who made a school exami-
nation, she plans program for the
children suffering from malnutrItion.
This program consists Of instruction to
all school children, with special in
struction to underweights under the
advice of physicians, to mothers Of
children of pre-school age where these
mothers are made to realize the rela-
ton Of food to growth, to health, to.
Done development, teeth development
and the relation Of food to blood, even
to heart action. In this mothers are
SHOWN pictures of animal experiment
tation, where growth is stunted from
TIE absence of enough milk In diet,
where legs become paralyzed when GER
tain foods containing essential vita
mines are kept from diet. Mothers
also are given prenatal instruction in
relation of food to the development Of
the unborn child.
Home visits play a large part in
the reaching of mothers and children.
The itinerant worker remains in a
chapter from two to six months in
order to reach the entire community
with. this instruction. She also in
structs local teachers in elementary
nutrition and plans with them on how
to carry on the work after she has
gone. The following year she returns
Tor another short period, checking up
o. the results of her former visit and
then opening new classes.
In the states of the Southwestern
Division the itinerant workers serve
eleven chapters in Arkansas, three In
Kansas, twelve in Missouri, six in
Oklahoma and twenty-five in Texas.

WHITTIER WAS IN LOVE ONCE
Lloyd His Only Sweetheart, Told
In q Little Volume.

Whittier never married. His heart
never yearned in verse for Highland
Mary or Maid of Athens, and SO far
as his work, and the superficial aspects
of his life were concerned, he seemed
to be so remote from the dfvine-or
human-passion as Joan Of Arc or
Savonarola.
And yet is it now known the poet
who walked his days IN lonely bache-
lorhood had had a romance, had loved
and lost, had really In his own life
enacted, in a measure, the world-old
theme which found such haunting ex-
preston in his own MAUD Muller" The
story is told in little volume, whit
tiers Unknown Romance" in which
his letters to Elizabeth Lloyd, Whit
tiers only sweetheart" are repro
duced. The lack Of Elizabeth's letters
to him, however, leaves the story in
complete. They were destroyed, for
some reason, not hard to surmise, by
the lady's request.
Few illusions in Whittier's poems
are traceable to her, though the COM
panion Of his "Monadnock," whose
sweet influence he acknowledged, Is
said to have been his Elizabeth, and In
his own letters he attributed much OF
his inspiration on various themes to
conversations he had with her.-De-
troit News.

VULCAN THE GOD OF FIRE
When Hurled by Mother
From Olympus.

Vulcan is in classic mythology the
god of nre. the patron of blacksmiths
and workers in metals, and the armor-
er of the gods. He was the son of
Jupiter and Juno, or, according to
some accounts. of Juno alone. Owing
to his weakness and lameness, he in
CURED the dlspleasure of his mother
and was cast by her from Olympus.
After dwelling for nine years with
Thetis and Eurynome in a grotto be-
meath Oceanus, Vulcan returned to
Olympus. but was cast out a second
time for presuming to side with his
mother in a quarrel between her and
Jupiter. He fell on the island of
Lemnos and there set up his forges !;
but afterward removed them to the
volcanic islands of Lipari. near Sicily,
where he forged the thunderbolts of
Jupiter and other marvellous imple-
ments.
Vulcan was sometimes called Mulch
ber and Lemnius.-Detroit News.

RED CROSS ENABLES
MOTHERS To ATTEND
TEXAS STATE FAIR
The "Greatest Mother" Cares for
Babies While Their Mothers
See the Sights.

Women who never before had found
1t possible to attend the state fair
were present at the West Texas Fair
at Abilene, Texas, this year, accord
ing to reports received from that city
at the division headquarters of the
Southwestern Division, American Red
Cross, in st. Louis. This was because
the Red Cross of Abilene was on the
job to assist the mothers in the care
of their children and to give them an
opportunity for resting when the sight
seeing of the fair became too strenu-
GUS.
II never would have thought of COM
ing to the fair" said one mother in ex-
pressing her appreciation of the care
given her baby at the Red Cross tent
during one day, 'if had not known
that the Red Cross would be here to
help me take care of my baby"
Babies of all sizes and ages were
c.red for in this day nursery and dur
irg the hour of the races there were
65 babies under the charge CT the Red
Cross nurse and volunteer helpers
while their mothers cheered on the
running horses, sharing the pleasure
of their husbands in this "sport of
kings"
Miss Mary Kennedy, Red Cross Ad-
visory Nurse for Texas, for the South
western Division of the American Red
Cross, was present and in charge of
the tent. The Red Cross tent and
FIRST Aid station was set up by the
Abilene Chapter and members of that
chapter took turns in the management
and conduct of its various depart
ments.
The mothers who were able to enjoy
the outing of this fair were unstinted
in their praises Of the courtesy, kind
ness and unfailing consideration of the
Red Cross people who were in charge
o. the tent.

NUTRITION GLASSES
BENEFIT CHILDREN
Improvement In Health and Discipline
and Reduction in underweight
Result In Schools.

Twelve hundred and sixty children
in the vicinity Of Chickasha, Okla
homa, developed sturdy little bodies
and healthy alert minds because of the
nutrition classes conducted under the
auspices Of the Grady County Chapter
Of the Red Cross last year. These
children were found to be underweight
due to malnutrition, and while in many
cases the malnutrition was not due to
lack Of food but to the wrong kind of
food, the results were the same.
Hot lunches Of properly balanced
diet were put Into II schools. The
children were taught what to eat and
how to eat, that is, how much and how
many times a day, and were encour-
aged to eat fruit and vegetables, to
drink milk, and to eliminate coffee and
tea from their diet, and health rule
contest by which the children were en-
couraged in the practice of outdoor ex-
ercise and personal hygiene and we'll
ventilated sleeping and living rooms
was inaugurated. This all made for
a general improvement In health and
incidentally decided Improvement in
the discipline In the school,
The percentage of underweight was
greatly reduced and the parents were
SO much pleased with the Improvement
that they are demanding continuance
Of the program for smother year.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
APPROPRIATE FUND FOR

The County Commissioners of Nc

In these three capacities without remu-

DICKENS HAD ODD CLOTHES
Author Always overdressed and Had
Appearance of a Gambler-Charles
Lamb Always Wore Black.

"He had a double gold chain outside
his waistcoat, and such breastpins that
thought he looked like one of our
river gamblers" Such is the descrip-
tion of Charles Dickens, given by Prem
tice in an account of his tour of the
United States. A tendency for over
dressing was always one Of Dickens
characteristics.
A photograph of Dickens, taken in
broad velvet collar. a waistcoat made
of some furry stuff, and trousers of
huge check. Percy Fitzgerald says
the French painters remark, that
Dickens was more like one Of the old
Dutch admirals we see in the picture
galleries than a man of letters" con-
veys an admirably true idea to his
friends.
'The first time l saw Archbishop
Whately," said the provost Of Oriel
college, Oxford, "he wore pea-green
coat, white waistcoat, stone-colored
shirt, f1esh-colored stockings. Bishop
Heber was dressed in a parsley and
butter coat. Doctor Arnold in a light
blue coat with metal buttons and a
buff waistcoat.
Charles Lamb always dressed In
black. II take it." he said, ito be the
proper costume of an author" When
this was once objected to at wedding.
he pleaded the ravens apology in the
fable that "he had no other" His
clothes were entirely black, and he
wore long black CATERS up to the
knees.
Southey wore clogs; he had fawn-
colored all-around coat and cap with
knob to 1t. He never put on swal-
low-tailed coat. Like Southey, Porson,
the great Greek scholar, had an utter
contempt for appearances. When Haz-
lit met him in the library Of ths Lon
don institute. he was dressed in an
old rusty black coat, with eobwebs
hanging to the skirt, and with large
patch Of coarse brown paper covering
the whole length of his nose.-London
Tit-Bits.
