MILK FOR SCHOOL
CHILDREN

Since the measles epidemic in Balm
bridge custom of supplying milk at
school through the aid of the P.T.A.
has been resumed, as it is thought that
it will be especially necessary to the
children who suffered from this dis
case and there being always some who
are undernourished anyway. Many
parents pay for their own milk but
all are served regardless of this.

Our former countryman, now an

SIMILAR SERVICE
SINH AR Waite

At last. the rich man is to have JUS
tice in one court by the ruling of one
Judge who holds that while the poor
may be charged less, the rich should
be charged more, than the service is
really worth and is unethical and I'M
profess 'onal to do So He reduced an
attorneys fee fnom the $4,000 sought
to $1,000 for a suit and expenses in
connection with the release of a client
from state institution. The conten-
ton that freedom regained was worth
that much was met with the argument
that life saved as in the case-of surgi-
cal practice is also beyond computation
yet the oonfiscation of the clients prop
erty would not be just in either case.

WHY WAIT TILL. BOP

Lady Astor and her women colleag-
ues IN the House of Commons, with
one one exception are actively supporting
me measure to give the vote to Eng
lish Women at 81 instead of 80 as
is the law at the present time. One of
the advocates goes so far as to- saw
that women at 81 have more com
mon sense than men at the same age"
The second reading before the House
gave favorable vote of 288 to u. One
objection OF some weight that may be
used against the measure is the fear
OF a real 'petticoat government" as
the new ruling would add 100000
votes and give women the preponder-
ance with an aggregate of 12,4OOO00
as against the 10,50000O of the men.

MEASLES PREVENTATIVE

The old notion that children mus
have measles and similar contagious
diseases is going into discard. But
the voluntary quarantine of affected
children by their parents has been too
lax i'll most instances to prevent in
fectious diseases from spreading. Med
another preventative, this time for mea
sizes for which an minimizing serum
has proved highly successful The i'm
munity is not so long as has been
found possible with diptheria, typhoid
and small pox, but is of duration Of
from 6 weeks to 3 months which
would take family through a cpl
demic of the usual length without be-
| ing susceptible. The serum can be
| safely given as late as five or six
days after exposure by which time
the danger is usually known and is es-
pecially valuable in saving the ex-
| posed. The serum is still so limited
in quantity that it is being distributed
in New York City, exclusively for the
use of children under three years of
age as the pneumonia complications
are so much more frequently fatal TO
the children of this age and under.
However in cases of large numbers
being exposed the department OF
health may issue it to others of old
er age.

OLD STORY

OLD > OK
Most of us remember the story of
Enoch Arden who returning from an
unexplained absence of many wears
finds his wife who mourned him as
dead, finally married to another. His
first intimation of the change of con-
ditons and an insight too of the con-
tent and happiness of the home is re-
vealed by his anticipatry peep at the
window before he shall announce him
self at the door. That announcement
was never made. With real heroism he
stifled the longing for the expected
reunion with home and family and
went on his lonely way, rather than
disturb the obvious happiness of those
he loved.
