Lichens Males Superb Color. Some of the most striking scenes upon the earth owe their characteristic features to mosses and lichens. The famous "crimson cliffs" of Greenland, which extend for miles northward from Cape York, derive their splendid color from the growth of red lichen which covers their face. The cliffs rise between 1.703 and 2,000 feet straight from tb water's edge, and being composed of gray granite, their aspect would be entirely different from what It is except for" the presence of the lichen. 37 Mothers, 107 Children Cared For By Lake County (Continued from Page One) composed of six persons, all of whom are supposed to be parents of children, and the Board is non-partisan, and composed of both men and women. The Ftatute provides that this Board shall have the care and supervision of neglected and dependent children under fifteen years of age, domiciled and, resident in the county; and shall have power to take under its control such children, etc.: and shall have power, by leave of the Circuit Court of the County, to commit such children to orphan asylums, or, under order of tha Court, said children may be indentured as apprentices, or adopted wi'.hout tho consent of the parents of naid child by the consent of said board filed in the Circuit Court, etc. Tho law as it r'W stan-la in Indiana, as amended May 13. 1313, provides: The board of county commissioners may provide and maintain a house of suitable sire arid -convenience . for the accommodation of the children placed under the custody and control of such board: said house fo bo approved by said hoard of children's guardians. ..And said board shall havo authority, when it deems It best for any child or children, to keep them outside of sin-h house, I'.nar as the best

PCAIN

ilnterests of euch child or children ahall require, and said board ahall have full power to contract for such outside care. In all cases where the said board dems it advisable and for the best lnter-set of such child or children, it may provide that euch child or children may be placed under the care of their mother and that she shall be allowed such compensation therefor as the board may fix, not exceedlnc the legal per diem for each child allowed for the care of the wards of euch board. The county council ahall appropriate and tha county commissioners shall allow the funds necessary to carry into erTect the provisions aud purposes of this act. The law Titr allows 75 cents a day for each chill. '.That i.tha maximum. Our law, as you know, is elastic, and the court, together with the Board of Guardians, may fix an proper amount, and the mother Is in no" way pauperised and yet she can secure such relief as is absolutely necessary and for the best interest of the family, s In administering this law- we have agents of the Board of Guardians who tWTote all of their time to this work

and other Juvenile- work, and these agents investigate the f nanclal atand. ing of the persona for whom relief Is proposed, 4ier relatives, and her connections with them. If any, the neighborhood she is living in, the condition of the family physically, etc.: whether or not they are attending achool, and if so, where; and all other facta of interest and importance. This agent makes tull report to a meeting' oX.. the'TSoard of Guardians which is held at least 'once each month. The Board then may investigate further, and often does Investigate further by delegating a member of the Board from the particular locality wherein the applicant resides to make a personal investigation. At the next meeting of the Board action is taken, and the recomimendation of the Board la made as to what relief. If any, the applicant ahall receive. If the Board reports favorably the mother Is brought Into Court at the nt session of.the Juvenile Court wth her children and such witnesses as she or the Bcjard may desire to bring, and the Court then thoroughly investigates the financial condition of the mother, and considers her application in every particular. Then the Court makes such an order as he thinks, taking into consideration the recommendation of the Board, ought to be made in the premises. An agent cf the Board visita the home at least once a month, end In that way auperrises or assists the mother in applying the funds she receives towards the support of the family. We find that it is necessary In many Instances, or- the funds would be. dissipated before tho month is over, and the children 6till 6uffer. As tho children grow older, end the older ones aro able to help take cars of themselves, and the load lightens, the amount is reduced. I know of no Mothers' Tension Iaw that is as elastic as this, and I can not see How it could work to any better advantage for the dependent children. In Lcke county we have & population In round numbers of 160,000 people. We have 87 mothers who are receiving assistance for 107 children. I Jlilnk tha estimate given by Mr. Foland as to the amount of money we are spending Is about right, that is. about J60.WO. But of cpurea this Include Jhe-money paid 'to institutions

564 Hohman,

for caring for cur dependent and ne-g-Itcted and delinquent children. I might say that we have not found it necessary to pension any mother, if you call It pensioning, for more titan forty cents a day. for. each of her children, whereas, each child we and to an institution costa us th full pries ef.75 centa a day. So you see we can help two children or two wether at home for nearly the unit amount it costs us to keep one child In an institution. Tills, of course, is the amallest part of t'ie benefit the mother caxe and love being .beyond any calculation . I notice that Mr. McHia in his latter to you stated that we allow 0 cents a day, which appear ta be in conflict with the law. I do not think we are allowing anything which Is in conflict with the law. We are follow. Ing the law strictly, and I think even before the Act of 1319, the law was plenty broad enough to permit ua to practically pension mothers In proper cases, and in Lake county t Laa been dons tor a number f year. I note from your letter that you hmv lBctured recently at LaPorta. In

diana, and that the members of th Kiwanls Club there did not know about this relief for dependent children which oould go dirsctly to tha mother and keep tho family together. The act you mention was passed1'' at special session of the legislature during war times, and raised the price to 60 cents a day, as you mention. In certain Instances, and 50 cents in other instances; but later, the legislature raised the amount to 75 centa straight. I think this amount at this line should be reduced, because he price of necessities has gone down, and I think 75 cents & day is more than Is actually needed. However, concerning the citizens of LaPorte I will say thla: that during the State Conference, of Charities and Corrections this year I met several members of the Board of Guardians .and social workers from Laporto county, and I know they are versed and liave a knowledge of these laws and axe using them. I do not know that the average citizen In Laporte county is cognisant of all these provisions. The' truth is, we have six volumes of atatutes In Indiana, and very few- of tha wera.ga citlrens ar cognizant of any particular branch of the law, but the people who have to administer it and have to do with It I think are as well familiar with the matter In Laporte county as in other rural counties. In Lake county the fact that we have these all-time social workers and Probation and Juvenile workers in the county and in tha OLD AGE, HIS HARK ! -Oliver Wen3ell Holmes, in the charming discourses of "The TTofessor at the Breakfast table,'" refers to an unmistakable sign of old age.- It la thre-e parallel lines between the brows. Wo can detect the first traces of diseass by signs Just as plain. When a woman suffora from backache, nervous depression, draggingdown pains, and those ailments peculiar to women, it is plain that she needs e woman's medicine. What other medicine- could she more wisely reaort to than Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for hall a century has proved the natural restorative for these 2ttbtf -Adv.
