Only those who take a second, third or fourth shot at the marriage game know what it really means to fail to profit by experience. Isn’t it a shame how much presidential timber there is produced in the country that fails to mature? Lampshade stockings is the latest nutty idea in femine apparel. First thing we know they’ll be wearing those pretty little stovepipe collars for ankle bracelets. If Paul Revere, PhiV Sheridan and other horseback heroes had only had motor cars there wouldn’t have been anything to it. We should think the hens would feel deep regret for their wasted opportunities every time they see a broken egg shell that cost somebody a jitney. When a girl spends a half hour next morning after a dance painting up her white slippers that have been badly trodden upon, she is hard to cpnvince that dancing is the poetry of motion. Our corns predict a change of weather of some sort, and our pocketbook hopes it won’t call for another consignment of coal. Some preachers (not in Monticello) put in six days of the week wondering what their congregations will stand for.

SCHOOL LUNCHES.

The proper feeding of children involves not only questions of hygiene but of educational policy and social economy, questions just beginning to have significance with us. Don’t think underfed children come entirely from homes where there is poverty and lack of food supply. Many boys and girls go to school without breakfast for various reasons, or snatch a few bites in an excited state of mind. Lack of nourishment impedes mental efficiency. Recently examinations were made by supervisors of different schools and found that from 25 to 40 per cent of pupiis had not enough wholesome food. For instance, in three rooms of the Komenskys, with 131 pupils, 7 to 9 .years old, 43 were undernourished; 28 had coffee and bread for breakfast; 15 had coffee, bread and butter. One ' lucky boy had oatmeal, bread and butter, and so on through the entire list. In all the days meals, milk appears only once and none had an egg to eat. But to and from this and other schools, children bought ice cream, chocolate, pickles, sodas or .mints, so they were not eyen in condition to enjoy the hot meal at the end of the 1 day. Therefore their work was far below their, possibilities. So it was found the lunch problem was one of fundamental importance, and decided that a lunch room should be a part of every school to bring best results. Boston tried an experiment. A part of the pupils in a certain school were given warm lunch, the rest were not; and those school-fed, far outstripped the others. Some possibly had a great distance to go, not having sufficient time to eat a meal. Others had cold lunches of varying quantities and qualities. An investigation made throughout the state of Texas proved the greatest lack of feeding is in protein and mineral salts, bringing about ous disorders. —• ‘ * The best foods to furnish protein are eggs, cream soups, beans, peas and milk. The best to supply mineral substances are figs, dates, prunes, spinach, lettuce, milk, beans, fish and cereals. They found that there should be at least one hot dish, as all energy comes from food, but before this can be acquired, the food must be assimilated by the body, so if it is near thebodytemperaturetheeneYgyan ready available will not need to be used to heat it. The one hot dish is a splendid addition to the cold lunch, making it more readily digested. Dr. Adler, of New York City, lead-

er of ethical culture, soon saw the importance of school feeding and his institution was referred to as “The Soup School;” nevertheless, the results .both physically and mentally were wonderful. When his new building was occupied one of the pleasantest spots on the roof garden was given over for a lunch room, where pupils could get good food for a very small price. To those who could not buy, it was donated. Wherever lunches are being the girls taking domestic science are doing the cooking, serving, and often the buying of materials, giving them a wide, practical experience. Certain women’s clubs are assisting where hundreds are fed daily, and a lot of the equipment has been donated by them. The plan has not been to make money in any instance, but to charge cost price for wholesome food. For a penny one can buy .bean soup, rice pudding, cocoa, glass of milk, graham crackers, wafers, dates, buns, and for from 5 to 10 cents get a good full meal. Cincinnati and Philadelphia adopted the school lunch system long ago, and now Rensselaer sees that when the weather is bad the children would be much better off if they could get something warm and appetizing to eat without trudging home through rain, slush, snow or zero weather. Therefore the Home Economics Club is donating dishea, spoons and plates and are backing the school in the venture of serving hot soup and crackers at noon every day. Three cents per dish is charged. This is supervised by the instructress, Miss Atkins, and prepared by her class of domestic science pupils. The menuwill change daily and pupils -who bring lunch will find hot soup a splendid addition. At the restaurant they would pay 10c for it. We trust many will take advantage of this, and if extra help is needed the club stands ready to assist at any time. Country teachers could make soup, cocoa or bake potatoes, apples, onions, or cook rice. Parents might send materials, and no charge be made for lunch.—A Member of the Home Economics Club.

Broke a Rule For Accommodation And Were Kept Very Busy.

Some years ago when The Republican’s classified advertising column began to swell we found it inadvisable to accept advertisements that said “Call at The Republican offic6” except in cases of lost and found articles. dnly a few occasions have we weakened and taken a chance at making ourselves intermediaries with patrons of our classified column. We did recently when Cary F. Mitchell, of R. D. No. 3, Remington, advertised for a farm hand. He sent the advertisement and the money and asked that applicants call at The Republican office. The first paper was scarcely off the press until applications began to come in. They called by person, by telephone, hyproxy, and wrote us letters. They were all referred to Mr. Mitchell and they called him, wrote him and went to see him. Under date of Jan. 25th he wrote us: “Please drop my ad for a man as I have had many answers. Many thanks for the, service and if I owe you any more please let me know.” The Republican charges 25 cents for an ad not exceeding 4 lines and this runs in The Evening Republican sii days and The Semi-Weekly twice. That is a lot of service for the money. A few years ago a Rensselaer citizen wanted to employ a hired girl and he thought he was too busy to select one so he wanted to have applicants “call* at The Republican office” and then have us" send him the ones that looked like they might be the kind his wife would want. He asked all this for a quarter. It was too much. We consider that when we sell four lines of advertising for a week for a quarter in papers that cover Rensselaer and Jasper county like a blanket that we have given a marvelous advertising bargain and we can’t make our office an employment agency all for the same money. We are glad we did so in Mr. Mitchell’s case for it convinced us with renewed confidence, in the value of our advertising. We want to let you know how easy it is to start, a Republican classified ad. Call in and dictate it to some one in the office or call us by Phone No. 18 and the ad will appear regularly for any* length of time ordered. It costs 25 cents per week or fractional week for four lines. A longer advertising today the things you have to sell. . *
