Modarn Missive Not Characterized by the Fervency. Shown by Writers in Past Days. CHILDREN'S DIET IMPROVED IN CALIFORNIA COUNTIES In these degenerate days, when to be sentimental isUo be silly, and when we boast that we do not "wear our hearts on our sleeves," the art of writing a love letter worthy of the name is in danger of being altogether lost, says ".London Answers. The letter of today is, with rare exceptions, a "mere business missive," with few of the hopes and fears, the heart throbs, the "splendid sentiments and rare, sweet raptures" that a modern lover feels just as much as his predecessors (lid. In former days it was a man's pride and pleasure to pour out his very soul on paper, 'in ardent homage to the lady of. 'his choice. On such of his letters as survive, though their pages are yellow and the ink faded, the 11,-n.rrlc itill Imrn rvitl-i t1i ton Horn f andYassion that inspired them. Thus, in one of the letters of John Churchill, the great "duke of Marl borough, to Sarah Jennings, we read: "I do love and adore you with all my heart and soul so much that I dojfeand will ever be better pleased with your happiness than my own But oh, my soul! if we might both be happy, what inexpressible joy that would be! I will not dare to expect more favors than you, shall see fit to give me; but, could you love me, I think the happiness would be so great that it would make me immortal." ... Keats also was a great lover. He wrote to Fanny Brawne: "I '.never knew before what such a love as you , have made me feci, was;. I. did not be lieve m it; my fancy was afraid of it lest it should burn me up. I would never see anyth'ng but pleasure in jyjui. vvvj, iui kj ii )uut upj auu nay piness myour steps. , "My (tear, girl, I love you ever and ever and without reserve. The . more. I have known the more have I loved. Even my jealousies have been agonies of love; in the hottest fit I have ever had I would have died for you. The last of your kisses was ever' the sweetest, the last smile the brightest, the last movement the gracefullest." ' - William Hazlitt's love letters, too, have the authentic note. He' wrote to Sarah Walker: "When I think of the thousand of enduring caresses 'hat have passed between us I do not wonder at the strong attachment thai draws me to you. I hear the wind .sigh through the lattice, and keep re pealing over and over myself two lines of Byron's tragedy: So shalt thou find mc ever at thy side Here and hereafter, if thq last may be. Applying theiri to thee, my love, and thinking whether I shall ever see thee again.. Perhaps not-for some years at-least, till both thou and I are old! And then, when all else have forsaken thee I will creep to the? and die in thy arms." These are a few extracts only from the letters of long dead lovers, whose delicht it was to pour out their very souls to the ladies whom they loved. ..Who" can doubt that they were read and treasured with a joy. which the cardcfs, cold-blooded letters of the modern lover can never inspire.? -Ex, Considerable progress has been made, through home demonstration work, in improving the diet of rural ;;hildrcn. A typical instance of what is being done in this direction re cently reported to the United States Department of Agriculture is the child feeding work carried on in two California counties Santa Cruz and Contra Costa. 1 his work started with the funda mental idea, that child feeding must be a pari of a general nutrition pro grairl, in which all possible co-operating agencies, such as county nurses, teachers, parent-teacher organiza tions, librarians, and other take part, and that the food of the entire farm family is a matter for consideration. The farm mother does not have time to prepare extra or different food for a child; the food on the table for the whole family must be so correctly planned and prepared that the child ren may have it without detriment. A number of rural , families with children were enrolled as demonstra tors during 1922 and 1923. The home demonstration agent gave talks to the mothers on health habits and the diet of children, in which the need for milk, vegetables, and fruit was emphasized. She distributed weight charts and gave demonstrations in the proper preparation of food, or ganized hot lunch centers-in several schools, and with the' help of the county nurse, 1 weighed the under weight children once a month. The children themselves were very much intcrestd in their own health and cor rect fnod. They made posters at school and wrote compositions on the subject. The right kind of a lunch box to bring from home was shown, and the planting of vegetable gardens was stimulated. ' In Santa Cruz County 174 homes co-operated in the child-feeding and hot lunch work. Among the under weight children 5'J have reached their normal zone in weight and only 2 have failed to do so. In 7 rural schools 21 children have been sup plied with a hot noon lunch. Eigh teen mothers with cnildren too small to go to' school have also co-operated with, the extension workers. In Contra CostaCounty, in addition' to the work with 225 school children, a nutrition class under a volunteer leader was conducted for six weeks during the summer, especially to help 11 underweight children. HGG CHOLERA LOSS $27,O00,C0o Hog chcicra caused a loss of more than $27.()00,QyO to the swine industry of the United States during the year 'ended April 30, 1924, according to a recent compilation ' by the United Stated Department of Agriculture. More than half of the total loss oc curred in the Corn Belt States, where hogs , are especially numerous. ' A comparison of the number of hogs with the loss caused, by cholera in each state shows that the ravages of the disci c are approximately in pfo I'orlicn to the hog population. In computing the losses from hog cholera, specialists of the Bureau of An;fflal Industry estimate that 80 .per cent of losses from all causes are due to , this dread disease. Mos'f of this loss can be prevented by the proper sanitation and the preventive' fierum treatment. Bulletins giving tun inrormation on hog cholera, its control and prevention may be ob tained, on request from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. L. .7 Land Deed.

COMMUNITIES CAN TAKE STEPS TO ELIMINATE THE HOUSE FLY The importance of concerted, or ganized effort to get rid of flies on the part of whole communities, not only cities, but suburban, and rural neighborhoods as well, can not be overemphasized, according', to" the Bureau of Entomology, United Slates Department of Agriculture. By the most painstaking care one may pre vent all fly breeding on his premises, but it will avail him little if his neigh bors are not equally careful, Some sort of co-operation is' necessary. One of the first and most important elements in any .anti-fly crusade is a vigorous and continued educational campaign..- It has been the experi ence (it those who have undertaken such crusades that people generally regard the fly as a somewhat harmless nuisance and that the first work of the campaign was to bring the people to a ref.'i.'aticn of the dangers from fifes ;.r.u "thc possibility -of getting rid of th.cm. . ' . -f 'C'ir anti-fly crusade is a "matter '-of public interest and should bj sup ported by the community as a whole, and engineered by the health officers But health officers' can do little to ward the necessary work of inspec tion and elimination without funds, and therefore the support of the campaign must manifest itself in in creased appropriations' for public health work. , Very often it is lack "of funds which prevents the health of ficers from taking the initiative in the anti-fly crusades, and there must necessarily be much agitation and education before they can profitably take up the work. Here lies a 'field for '"the best energy, initiative, and leadership of civic associations, wo men's clubs, boards of trade, and other community organizations. lo lore Fooling Notice. The Franklin Township Road Trus tees will have their regular meeting on the first Saturday in each month, instead of the first Monday; v , J.. J. MANN, Secretary. Nowhere did Abraham Lincoln show his shrewdness pf judgment better than in that fa mous utterance which ended, "You cant fool all the people all the time." In the past, there were a few misguided ad vertisers who thought they could sell their wares better by misrepresentation. But those adver tisers have, long since gone out of business or mended their ways. Hard experience taught that Lincoln was right. Untruthful advertising doesn't pay. " Other advertisers proved that the only way to advertise successfully, make regular custo mers and build up public good-will was to tell the absolute truth about their goods. So', you, can be sure that every consistently advertised product is, good. The advertising test has proved it. The very fact that it is advertised is your best warranty of satisfaction and true ltv. ' The concern that tells you frankly what it is doing is a good concern with which to do busi ness. That is why it pays to read the advertise ments, to patronize advertisers, and to buy ad vertised merchandise. IT'S MIGHTY GOOD BUSINESS K
