be plunged into cold water to make
them firm. The little strings and

tached after parboiling, should be
removed.

and it was a disrace for the moth

These conditions cause children
to become criminals, murderers, ev-

that mothers and fathers should
force their children to go. Your

longer. Be like your good south
