A MODERATE PENALTY

"A i

The offense for which this father whipped
his child as he might have-and doubt would
have-whipped refractory farm animal was
that she wasn't able to find her way to the creek
for water. Sending six-year-old girl f,r water
instead of going himself seems to fit this father
very we'll indeed.

adds, this served six months in Jail for beat
ing this same little girl, who was then two years

to do than that. They ought to be able

There is popular belief if canned
food is left in the after it has been
opened danger from poisoning is great
~ increased. In an article in the Amer
lean Food Journal, DIR. ]. C. Geiger, of
the University of Chicago gives the re-
suits of a scientific study of this uues-
ton. The evidence indicates that the
container does not affect the contents.
There is no scientific evidence for the
theory that the tin lining of the can be-
comes corroded and yields poisons,
which may attack the system, says DR..
Geiger. Food poison is due to bacter-
lal action and the kind of dish has no
influence on it. The inside of tin con-
tainer is sterilized when the food is put
into it and often it is more sterile than
an ordinary dish. The scientist assures
US that the housewife need no longer
hasten to pour the contents of a can of
food into dish Immediately after open

ing poisoned.-Pathfnder.

not pay much attention to you; but if
you should get down on your knees and
pray to Almighty God or if you should
stand bareheaded while company of
soldiers marches by with flags to the
breeze. some people will think you are
showing off.
But don't you mind! When Old
Glory comes along, salute, and let them
think what they please! When you
