interest to many who know the writer

Thinking that my old friends might
be glad to know that l have changed
my way of living since l was in your
community last, / am writing your
paper that you may, if you WISH make
some mention of the fact
"Those who know me, know that /
have led what would be commonly
called a rugged and sinful life. l am
thankful that l saw the right way and
turned before it was too late, and /
hope to be able TO live for the Lord in
a manner that l will yet be able to do
much good for His cause, and thereby
at least partially atone for the many
bad things that / have done in the
past.

states that he is now with the l.. s.
Fleet in Australia. Dispatches in The

arrival of the fleet, the town of Mel

Uncle Jim Jackson says if a man
hasn't wife and a cow he hasn't
anything. This statement was made
day or two after his wife had left
for fifteen days visit to relatives in
Texas leaving Uncle Jim to take care
of the house and the family cow. He
let the cow out to neighbOr to milk
until his wife returned, but the absence
of both the wife and cow was too much
for Uncle Jim so he issued the above
statement.

stated that crops were fairly good in
some of the sections they visited but
for the most part the prospects were

PROPER FOOD FOR SCHOOL
CHILDREN

The age during which children are
attending school may aptly be called
"The Dangerous Age" II is the period
Of rapid growth and every care should
be taken to insure the child Of nor
NAL and healthy body. The idea OF
eating only fit and wholesome foods
should be early impressed on the
younger members of every family In
order to protect them against later
III health and its accompanying unhap'
piness II the utmost care is not taken
In the diet that is used by children,
cases Of food poisoning, indigestion
and kindred ailments may result.
And milk, being the chief item In
the diets of most children, should be
carefully guarded. 1t is, because OF
Its nature, prone to infection II ex-
posed to germs and may soon become
unfit for use. Wherever there Is the
slightest reason for doubt as TO Its
purity and food value, steps should be
taken to insure the sterillty and the
fitness Of milk intended for consump-
tion by children. Many mothers have
adopted the excellent practice OF using
milk that is absolutely pure and sterile
and free from any germs or bacteria.
The most satisfactory, as well as the
safest milk used in preparing food for
the growing child Is evaporated milk.
II is sterile, and therefore safe. II
is more dlgestible than market milk.
It's uniformity, convenience and cost
are qualities that recommend 1t.
The following dishes are well suited
to the needs of the growing child /;
they are easily dlgested and very
nourlshing:
Caramel custard.
cup evaporated Y cup sugar
milk diluted (caramelized)
with 2 tbsp. sugar
! cup water y tsp. salt
eggs u tsp vanilla
Scald tho diluted milk Caramelize
the sugar and add to milk to dissolve.
Beat eggs slightly, add sugar. salt, and
favoring and combine with scalded
milk. Pour into custard cups and set
in a pan OF hot water and cook In \
moderate oven. When done, knife
blade run in the center will come out
clean.
Fish chowder.
pint raw FISH cut cups boiling
in l-inch dice water
6 small potatoes. cup evaporated
sliced milk diluted
2 onions chopped with
fine i cup water

tatoes, and onions in kettle. Cover

tatoes are tender. Add the milk and
cook minutes longer. Season with

fence There are as many acres in
the field as there are boards in the
fence How many acres are there if
the boards are II feet long and the
fence is 4 boards highy" Mr. Baker
would like an algebraic solution, as
well as by arithmetic.
Another, not SO difficult, was sent in
by w j. Hill, a board is 16 IN. long
and in wide. Cut the board into
only ? pieces and place them together
so as to make square foot, 12x12

With your permission, would like
20 say "a few words about our public

the minds of most Of our good citizens
Although Union Township has a
small amount Of money with which TO
do our road work. we have some Of our
roads i'm excellent shape and all the
rest Of them are i'm fairly good condi-
tiGn. The present condition Of our
good roads is due largely to the CO.
operation Of the good citizens Of our
township, who have been taking an
active interest in our community vel
fare. and that interest extends for
enough that they have been working
the roads with me. giving their yalu-
able time and labor for the betterment
Of our roads. and thereby assisting
very materially in lettering the gener-
al condition Of our community.
II is a wonderful thing for a com
munity when all the people living
therein take such an active interest in
their public roads and assist the over
seer in building better roads. For bet
ter roads make living conditions bet
ter, and give us better schools and
churches.
Following is'a list Of the free labor
that has been given me i'm working the
