Congested theatres, poor ventilatioa in homes and public places, and public gatherings which axe not properly

We are looking after all the bulk food and the food served to the public in eating places, with a view to seeing that every man gets protection and his money's worth. Don't Realize Harm. "Few people realize the far reaching effect which impure food may have on a man's life. Suppose we say a man gets food in a restaurant which is not up to the standard. That food is hard to digest. It slows up his bodily .and mental processes. It lowers his efficiency and the change is seen in his work. Perhaps he loses his position. Yet the person responsible for the serving of that food as not suffered. It is things such as These that must be watched.

CHURCH IS MOT MAKING BEST USES OF RESOURCES, MISSIONARY SOCIETIES TOLD
The all day gathering of the Federated Missionary societies of the cit?, held Friday at the First English Lu theran church, was marked by inspiring talks, a musical program and prayers. Mrs. ' Elsie Castor Chrisman. of Dayton, Ohio, gave a stirring address on "The Church Militant," which was an outstanding feature of the morning session. "Are we making the best use of all our resources in the church?" was a leading question she put to the audience. - The most wonderful resource, the children and the young people, she
said, are being thrown away upoh social life. Our money resources, tor., she stated, are not being given to the church as they should be, and pointed out the value it would be to the church
if everyone were tithed. Urging
greater work for the church the speak
er declared, that as a country, the
church needs its soldiers to defend it
and Jo care for it, which was the keynote of her talk. She quoted President Harding as saying that the
country and the world look to the church more than anything else to settle the great peace problem, saying
there is an increased need for har
mony and if the church fails, "we
cannot expect much results from the peace conference." This statement
by the president was made in a com
munication to churchworkers, Mrs. Chrisman said. Touches Many Questions. Mrs. Ruth Pembertown Brown, another speaker of the morning, talked on "From Survey to Service," in which

sneaker continued in talking briefly
on farmers "are better off than the
idle rich boys brought up in luxury
and we can expect more of them," she
stated. The largest percentage of our big men, It has been said, come from the country and from small communities. Pleads for Starving Closing her talk Mrs. Brown, making an ardent plea for the starving Europeans, declared that no. pictures painted of their untold suffering and
conditions over there exaggerated their plight. "There are," she said, "100,000,000 people in central Europe who never know where their next meal is coming from." The principal address of the afternoon was given ,by Miss Kate Hill, of Pittsburgh, a former missionary in India for 20 years, and at present field secretary of the- general missionary society of the United Presbyterian church. She told of missions in India, the marvelous program which ha3 been made in that country, and the great work being done by men and women in taking Christianity to that country, and at the same time improving the living conditions of the people. Talk on Indian Women Mrs. Amelia Ruger Lindley, an Earlham college graduate, who with her husband, is superintending Friends
work among the Indians in Oklahoma, gave a very interesting talk on the Indian woman. Devotions at the morning session were led by Mrs. Robert Wilson and in the afternoon my Mrs. George G.
Burbanck. Mrs. Ray Kienker sang
a solo at the morning session and a short business meeting was held. Luncheon was held in the diningroom, which was strung with chains of red hearts. The tables held arrangements of flowers and were lighted by red candles in crystal holders. Nearly 200 women attended the luncheon. Music at the afternoon session was furnished by the Ladies chorus of the First English Lutheran church, and Mrs. B. Willis Beebe. Mrs. Frank Tillson gave a reading and Mrs. A. H. Backus spoke on "The Kingdom and the Nations." The banner of the federation, which is awarded annually, went to the missionary society of the First English Lutheran church, for the largest proportionate attendance.

MANY SPRING AND SUMMER ACTIVITIES ANNOUNCED FOR BOYS BY PERRY WILSON
Many spring and summer activities i have been announced for the boys of the Y. M. C. A., by Perry Wilson,' boys' work secretary. Several stunts for the summer vacation are being planned. Among the leading activities will be the boys' summer camp, which will be held the latter part of July and probably the entire month of August. ' ' Boys may register now for the summer camp. Mr. Wilson is anxious for the boys to register at once, as it will give him a better line on just how many boys are going to attend the camp and plans can be made to suit them. A camp register is being prepared and will soon be posted. The camp this year will be conducted along the same basis as the camp last vear. belne on the honor system.

able. The viewpoint of the retailer will be discussed by Mr. Mann. Why Retailers Object. The opposition by retailers in general is said to arise from the belief that with such a plan in effect the American manufacturer would be able to advance his prices, an increase which the retailer would be obliged to pass, on to the public, and for which, it i3 held, the retailer and not th.e wholesaler would receive the blame. A recant advance in the price of some manufactured articles is said to be attributed by some retailers to the prospect that congress will take a favorable attitude toward the American valuation plan. The argument advanced by the manufacturers is said to be that such a plan would prevent the dumping of merchandise of European manufacture in the United States at a price so low that American manufacturers would be unable to compete.

(By Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 24. "Bovine tuberculosis is communicable to the human family," according to exact experimental results obtained by a number of noted physicians not only in this country but in England and Scotland," declared Dr. L. C Kigin, of the veterinary department
of Purdue university, in speaking be
fore the annual meeting of the Indiana Tuberculosis association here today.
"Too small a number of people realize that tuberculosis may be contracted by a human being, especially a child, drinking milk from a cow suffering with tuberculosis." , Dr. Kigin presented reports from several noted physicians showing that they found from 10 to 70 per cent of their tuberculosis cases among children derived from the bovine bacilli. Some rank as high as 90 per cent and the average was considerably above half, showing conclusively that tuberculosis in cattle frequently is transmitted to human beings through the drinking of milk from Infected animals, he declared. "By eradicating tuberculosis In cattle as we are trying to do in Indiana through the Indiana Livestock Sanitary board and the bureau of Animal Industry, will be taking a big step in eradicating tuberculosis in human be:ngs," said Dr. Kigin. He asked for co-operation of the state associations in this campaign and declared that "unless a united effort is made to stamp out this disease its final eradication is impossible."
CBy Associated Press) AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 24. President Harding's approval of the movement inaugurated by the General Federa

backer of Austin, chairman of the Denartment of American citizenshin of
the eeneral federation, made rtublic!
today.
The movement was started last year ' and more than 300 communities in the United States held celebrations indicative of Americanism, Mrs. Pennybacker said. It is planned to have every city, town and village in the United States conduct a similar celebration this year. "I am very pleasantly impressed with your program of celebrating the
nation's natal day in the dignified, impressive and inspiring fashion which you suggest, making an occasion on which to welcome to the duties and obligations of citizenship, those young
men ana women wno nave- come into citizenship within the preceding twelve months and to those of foreign birth who have come into full realization of duties and privileges of American citizenship," President Harding wrote in part. The movement no doubt will create a larger and truer appreciation of citizenship obligations, the president said. "These are times in which every effort to impress the seriousness, the reality, the earnestness of civic duty, deserves the utmost encouragement," he said in conclusion. Mrs. Pennybacker also has received a letter from Hanford MacNIder, national commander of the American
Legion, indorsing the movement and promising the support of the legion in carrying it out.
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 24. Growing disbelief in the story of the murder of William Desmond Taylor, film director, here Feb. 1, related in Detroit within the last three days by Harry M. Fields in custody there, was expressed early today by Los. Angeles officials investigating the case. They pointed out two changes that Fields made in his original story. One was the reduction of a $1,000 bill to o $100 bill in connection with his state
ment that he was paid $900 for having driven a Chinese, a white woman and a white man to the Taylor apartments. The other was his changing his location where he said the pistol with
which Taylor was shot could be found. The officers said they found it at neither place he named. A bank teller was found here, however, who told of a man ' entering a bank with a $1000 b.ill and acting suspiciously about the-time Taylor was slain. In addition, Thomas Green, deputy

In view of the crush of business, he said, the government could not give the house a full holiday, but business would be so arranged that it would rise early in the evening thus enabling the members to attend the various receptions and other festivities. Murmurs of dissent arose from th.p labor benches at the announcement. The explanation of this disapproval was that when the labor party had asked two days of the house's time for discussion of the Geddes committee economy report, Mr. Chamberlain had intimated he could allow only one day.

BUYS WINE; SELLS BOTTLE; 200 CROWNS TO THE GOOD (By Associated Press) MUNICH, "Feb. 24. The fluctuating rates of exchange in Europe bring about some humorous transactions. Recently an Englishman on his way from Germany to Switzerland purchased a bottle of wine for 500 crowns in the Austrian Tyrol. After drinking the wine he kept the bottle and when he passed the Swiss frontier, sold it for 50 centimes. A Swiss 50 centime piece is worth 700 Austrian crowns so that the Englishman not only had his wine without cost but gained 200 crowns.
