The Welfare of the Home Family ,► i How to Establish a Heath Centre This is a most interesting account of a Healnh Centre established in one of the towns across the border, which affords a good example of what might be done in many of our Canadian .com- munities. Bridgeton, New Jersey, is a city of approximately 15,000 inhabitants. The surrounding territory is settled by farmers. There are about five vile lages within a radius of ten miles of Bridgeton, each having a population of from 300 to 1,000 persons. After the war, Bridgeton's large and en- thusiastic Red Cross organization wished to continue its work for hum- anity and therefore established ,in Bridgeton a Health . Centre. The centre secured commodious first -floor rooms in the centre of the city.. These are used for offices, rest room and comfort station, nurses' office and class room for teaching Home Care of the Sick, the holding of baby clinics. and for general health purposes. Two. Red Cross Public Health Nurs- es were hired, One of these was as- signed to give one half of each day to school work and. the other half day to class work and bedside nursing. The second nurse was assigned to bed- side nursing and child welfare work. In order to make the most of the nurses' time a small automobile was secured. • This was marked with the insignia of the Red Cross and the words, "Public Health Service," The rooms of the Public Health Centre are used by the farmers, par- ticularly their wives and families, as a rest room and meeting place. After the day's errands have been accom- plished there is always the open door and comfortable chair until the hus- band arrives. The various family health problems may be presented to one of the nurses on duty who freely gives safe counsel, and very excellent results have been obtained. A third nurse has been requested from the Red Cross and when she has been assigned, the school nursing ser- vice will be extended to four of the outlying villages. In Bridgeton, the Board of Utica, - tion pays for the time the nurse de- votes to the school work, The Boards of Education in the farming district will be .asked to take ever a portion of the expenses of such health service when it has been demonstrated to them that this service is of value. In the Bridgeton schools much has been accomplished by the nurses. Eyes that have needed glasses have been fitted. The nurse in many instances has found it necessary to visit the home and explain in detail to the parents just why the expenditure for the child be made. Undernourished children have received proper nourishment through the instrumentality of the Red Cross Nurse. Parents -were only too glad to.be told why their children were weak or stunted in growth. Children and adults in the first stages of consumption 'have had the advan- tage of a trained nurse and that means proper instruction in preparing food and in the care of such persons. A charge of 50 cents for eaeh visit is made, but it is only accepted when the person receiving the service can afford to pay. The Bridgeton Health Centre bats secured a woman as a social service worker, She is one of their own citi- zens and as soon as her course is com- pleted she will begin ber duties, and those responsible for the work are confident that most excellent results will follow. During the present summer, the nurses have been visiting the various farms to make a survey of living con- ditions and the health of each family, particularly the health of the children. All this data will be indexed and re- corded. Such aid as can be given by an organization that has for its ob- ject the improvement of the public health, will be extended to the fam- ilies requiring assistance. From a few visits a month, this health service has grown to cover from three to four hundred visits per month and these do not include visits to school children. found to give good results at 1.ess ex -1 that the use of some ins cause ea - pense than when the higher grade'# ach And ,in d that any shey'arections itoo xtrensiven e that powders are aged, No Tian Aetna. attempt to use povr-! the cost of explosives is prohibitive.] .ier without first thorougI:ly familiar- The other objections have been almosti i=sing himself with the best methods: entirely met and co-operative buying; of headline; the explosive that he in -1 of car -load lots of explosive will re - tends to use.

The hole in whieh the powder is to be placed may be made in several dif- ferent ways, depending upon the kind of soil, rooting system, and size of stump. All stumps, except those have ing a tap -root, are blasted by placing the explosive in the earth beneath the stump. For small -sized stumps that do not require more than one stick of powder, the hole may be made with an ordinary crowbar. For larger stumps an auger of from two to three inches in diameter is used, while holes under the largest stumps are In order to get results when blast - 3 to 8 bushels more per acre have been secured by observing early plowing dates. Agronomists point out that early plowing makes it possible to prepare a firm, fine and moist seedbed, which is regarded so essential in successful wheat growing. Frequently a pest of the wheat can be controlled by early plowing, par- ticularly the wheat midge this season. Most hens will lay if they are allow- ed to; many successes with chickens are made in spite of the owner rather than on account of him.

From forty-five and on, a decided cut down in the protein foods and a liberal amount of green and energy foods with an abundance of ballast and pure drinking water. This is one of the real reasons why the great number of men who are sedentary or indoor workers have nerve and nervous breakdowns after forty years of age. If one will but study this subject, in order to be as efficiently fit at sixty as one is at forty or forty-five years, age has nothing at all to do with the decline of bodily tissue. For just look about you and you will see some folk old at fifty and others young at se -sea- ter years of age. Good food in proper amounts that contains sufficient bulk or cellulose (roughage) to assist in removing the poisonous waste and a generous flush- ing of the digestive tract with pure water will keep you sufficiently fit at one hundred years of age. Learn to anticipate Mother Nature's wishes. Every baby inherits the dominant right to be fed, at its mother's breast, and unless serious illness and compli- cations prevent, every mother should take real pride in her ability to so feed her child. Between nine and- ten months old, the baby should bo wean- ed and gradually brought to the table for its nourishment. This is the start- ing point or the beginning of an in- heritance of a perfectphysical health. Until the child is six years of age you should plan your child's diet in order to give it one quart of the best milk daily you can procure. A high- grade milk is a real food that con- tains the vital and necessary mineral elements that are needed in the tooth, bone and muscle structure. So no matter what other econ'ory is neces- sary, do not stint or curtail on the milk and other foods which are nec- essary for the. child. Feeding the One -Year -Old. Feed the year-old baby, at 7 a,m., juice of one-half orange, three-quar- ters of a glass of milk and three table- spoons of well -cooked cereal.. This means that the cereaLshould be cook- ed in a double boiler for at least two and one-half hours. Over night in the fireless cooker is much better.

Baked potatoes, spoonful of well - cooked vegetables, such as spinach, carrots, turnips, celery or lettuce. The last meal of the day, at 6 or 6,30 p.m.: bread and butter and a glass of milk. Whole wheat bread contains the sixteen food elements that the human body requires, and with a glass of milk it forms a perfect food for the growing child. Good fresh dairy or creamery butter as vitally necessary to the growth of the body. Milk, but- ter, eggs, fresh uncooked lettuce and finely 'shredded celery contain abun- dant materials for body, growth and physical well-being, so be sure to use these foods abundantly. :The active child consumes a lot of energy and bodily heat in its playful efforts, and for this reason must have sufficient energy foods if it is to re- main physically fit and supply_ the necessary materials for the upkeep and growth of the body. Shall the child have candy ? That depends entirely upon yourself. With many children around and all of them having their •sweet tooth appeased, it is hard to deny . your child some of the sweets, but be wise and prepare it at home: A careful watching of the diet will entirely;: eliminate intestinal and other digestive disturbances. -If the small child becomes sleepy and dull, finicky about this or that, have the physician value of his land and equipment into interest-bearing paper and then hire himself out for wages. On the other hand, if he is capable of making a good profit beyond the interest on his invested capital, as most farmers are, he is wise if he by judicious barrowing secures additional capital, thus placing himself in.a po- sition to operate a larger business. Few hien mount to positions which in size match their full capacity. It is doubtful that there exists a man who has not the ability to manage a business a trifle larger than the one he heads, provided of course he has made some measure of success. One Middle West farmer of large acres thinks that the stumbling block of so many farmers ie that they have the wrong goal. They make it their aim to get out of debt. Once they have taken the icy plunge they harass themselves until with heart -breaking sacrifice they have paid off every dol- lar. He believes they should increase their debt as rapidly as they can with sound judgment. The man who is courted by the banker is the man who borrows, not because he is a prospective victim of the foreclosing mortgage, but because the intelligent heavy borrower is usu- ally a big money maker.

Golden Text, Prov. 23: 21. 19-21. Hear Thon, My Son, and Be Wise. The teacher thus addresses his pupil that he may inculcate wisdom and guide hini -in the right way of life. By winebibbers he means, no doubt, those who drink- excessively, like the gluttonous persons who eat too much. The drunkard and the glutton are regarded as alike, and are compared to the drowsy, or lazy.man, all of whom shall come to poverty. Such habits of life breed inefficiency, carelessness, and •weaknees Drunken- ness has sometimes been the vice of very clever and skillful men, and some- times of -very strong and courageous men. _But, inevitably, even in such< cases, it. brings in its train degenera- tion, decline of .powers, and degrada- tion of all the finer impulses and qualities of manhood.

Who hath (or saith) alas!" Oh, and alas and strife and complaining, ancd wounds without cause, and redness of eyes, are the lot of those who drink to excess. The mixed wine was prepared by ad- ding various aromatic herbs . and spices for the purpose of heightening the flavor and increasing the strength of the wine. Maspero, descnibing the Assyrian practice, says, "The wines,. even the most delicate, are not drunk in their natural state; they are•mixed with aromatic and various drugs, which give them a delicious flavor and add tenfold to their strength. This operation is performed in the hall, under the eyes of the revellers. :An eunuch standing before a table pounds' in a stone mortar the intoxicating sub- stances, which he moistens from time to time with some essenee.
