ENJOYING
OUTING
Forty ConVaIescents at Coun-
try Home Show Effect OF
Good Food and Air.
BY GEORGE FRANKLIN.

Romping and playing, or being
tenderly nursed back to health,
on the crest of a breeze-swept
ridge off Grant road, three-quar-
tiers of a mile from Connecticut
avenue, some forty children of
hthe District of Columbia are to-
day enjoying the hospitality of
the Children's Country Home.
All ConvaIescents.
All of the little charges are con.
valescents recovering from recent
attacks of illness or the effects of
malnutrition. They were sent to the
home by hospital authorities and
organizations devoted to child-wel-
fare work and will remain there
until they can be returned to their
homes restored to a normal physical
condition.
During the present summer 1t Is
estimated that between 200 and ESQ
children will have had the advan-
tage of recuperating in the fresh
country air, living on a diet ex-
pressly provided to meet their re-
quirements, and constantly under
the watchful eye of trained nurses
and assistants.
The Children's Country Home is
open from June 1 until the latter
part of September. 1t affords ac-
comodations for forty-five children
and for a limited number of mothers
and babies.
So far as the children are con.
cerned every comfort is provide
them. Spacious sleeping quarters
take over the larger sections of the
old-fashion home occupying the
very crest Of the ridge and used as
headquarters. Scattered over the
grounds are swings, sliding boards,
sandpits, hammocks, and various
other devices dear to the heart of
child. Ranging in age from a few
! weeks to twelve years they are
never at a loss to find playfellows,
while the group of children as /
whole embraces all Of the elements
making for child social contentment.
Get Two Weeks Outing.
The society sponsoring the home
was incorporated in 1888, under
the laws of the District of Column
bia. During the first period of it's
activities it was conducted as a
country retreat where children
otherwise deprived of country va.
cations, were sent. Later the idea
Of devoting the home to the use
of convalescing children was adopt-
ed and since then hundreds. of
little folk have spent the import
ant period Immediately following
recovery from severe illnesses as
It's guests.
Now the home is supported
largely through an endowment
fund. But this does not quite meet
it's operating expenses. To make
up the deficit an annual ball is
given which nets the society from
two to three thousand dollars,
Social Washington attends the

Cannon. vice president; Mrs. Clark.
Waggaman, secretary; A. M. New

81 upwards. An annual contribu

THAT RED-HEAD BOY.

You can tell me Of the rulers
And of power they enjoy,
But none can match the power
OF that freckled, red-head boy
The boy whose prankS are noted
As through the countryside
He leads his gang of youngsters,
Who hail him with great pride.
One minute he Is fighting
He has never lost q fight
And next you'll find him swimming
He excels at that all right.
And then he IL a pitcher,
And he always wins his Rame;.
No matter what he undertakes,
He cOnquers just the same.
Now rulers lose their Kingdoms,
And are driven from their land;
But no army yet has conquered
That red-head fellows band.
Good fellows, let us cheer him,
And wish him greatest joys
There are no brighter chaps alive
Than freckled, red-head boys.

CHICAGO, June 30.-There were
elements of both strength and weak
ness in the butter market this week.
A very small percentage of the receipts
was fancy butter, owing to the recent
hot spell, and since demand at this
time Of the year Is principally for the
higher scores promising good keep
ing qualities the top of the market
was well supported. The under
grade market was much more liber-
ally supplied with wider outlets far
harder to obtain because operators
are reluctant to store the long scores
until obtainable at bargain prices.
The tone was entirely unsettled, II
not easy, with price tendencies low

peak production has been reached,
significant because no further In
crease in receipts need be expected
The Chicago market remained
