PROPER DIET
NEEDED

First thing to investigate about
the delinquent child is his health,
child welfare authorities declare.
The disorders of mind and body
which make incorrigibles out of
boys and girls who otherwise
would develop into reputable
citizens, can only be effectively
dealt with by greatly increased
attention to proper dieting.
Lack of knowledge of nutrition
among children is appalling. The
majority of children eat too much
meat and consume too few energy
foods. Necessity for energy foods
in the dietary of the school child
is we'll known to food specialists,
yet the health of thousands OF
boys and girls, suffer because or
a lack of such foods. Candy. for
example, is a food of the highest
fuel and energy value, yet its
dietary worth is often overlooked.

PLAN TO CAN
THIS YEAR

While you are laying out this
years garden be sure to plan for
a surplus of those vegetables
which you will want in canned
form during the winter: toma toes,
of course, head the list, for you
will want to enjoy them at least
once week the year round.
They are easy to grow and the
easiest of all vegetables to can.
Even the last green tomatoes on
the vines at the end of the season
can be brined and used in relishes.
A surplus of string beans, peas.
and other vegetables for canning
may oftentimes be easily grown
in the home garden. These non.
acid vegetables are also not diff
ficult to can provided a steam
pressure outfit is used.

There is a big difference be.
tween obedience" and intelligent
obedience. Implicit obedience is
quite possible as long as the par

is not an ideal relation.
Sometimes mothers and fathers
wonder how much obedience they

They also wonder Just how they
can enforce 1t after they have de-
manded it. When children obey
only because they are afraid to
disobey, they usually go straight
back to their own particular
little sin, sas soon as their elders
are at a safe distance.
Obedience, In itself, does not
build character. There must be
some intelligent desire on the part
of the child to fall in with what
his parent wants done.

DISCUSS APPEALS.
 FROM CITY COURT
Lawyers Would Make Change
 by Charter Amendment

It was voted last, night by mem- bers of the Lawyers club at its regular monthly meeting at the Burritt hotel. to pass on to the exe- cutive committee resolution to take up with the charter revision committee the proposed amendment concerning the jurisdiction of the city court. whereby no appeals in matters not exceeding $500 could be taken to the superior or common pleas courts. except to the supreme court of errors. The present law limits the jurisdiction of the city court and any decision exceeding $100 can be appealed to the high CT courts. Under the proposed amendment any matter under $500 settled in the city court would make the decision final.
 It was also decided that a recom- mendation be made to the charter revision committee, that two full time prosecutors be appointed in- stead of one prosecutor and an as-
