LOCAL POSTOFFICE COMMENDED
Numerous comments have been heard
recently regarding the splendid sendee at
the local postoffice. The most recent of
these was the other day when the Admiral
Evans came in during the early hours of
the morning. Early risers, upon opening
their boxes, found the Evans’ mail sorted
and at 8 o’clock the general delivery win
dow was open to the public. % The past week
is not the first time by any means that ser
vice of this nature has taken place. It has
happened innumerable times- Everybody
is always anxious to receive their mail quick
and it is only fair to state the public appre
ciates the commendable spirit displayed by
the local office.
WOULD AWAKEN THE DEAD
Swarms of sea gulls once more disturb
ed the slumbers of the weary during the
early horn's of this morning. From 3 o’clock
until 6:30 the pesky birds hoarsely defied
the world to kick ’em out or make them
shut up. We wish someone would start up
a hot tamale joint.
SURE INDICATIONS OF SPRING
Local hikers report flies and mosqui-i
toes are beginning to crop out, not enough
to bother, but sufficient for one to known
that spring has arrived. Perhaps the sur
est sign of spring is when the evening air
echoes with the cry: “Olee, Outs in Free.”
MILK—THE PERFECT FOOD
Milk is our best all-around food and no
other food can take its place. It tastes
good; it is easily digested and is very nour
ishing. Milk is spoken of as a protective
food because it is a great factor of safety
in our diet. In fact, the vigor and success
of a nation depends considerably on the
amount of milk it uses.
Milk is suitable for persons of all ages,
as it excels all other foods in the veriety of
and quality of the materials which it furn
ishes to the body. Milk is also of the cheap
est foods, even at the present prices, though
it is the most difficult of all our foodstuffs
to collect, handle and transport.
It it is necessary to economize do so in
some other manner than decreasing the
quantity of milk used.
The solids of milk include protein, fat,
sugar, mineral matter and vitamines. They
are in such a form that they can be easily
utilized in building and repairing the tis
sues and bones of the body. i
Milk is far richer in calcium or lime, for
example, than other common foods. This!
makes it especially necessary in the diet of!
young children, prospective and nursing;
mothers. This lime is important in building
bones and teeth.
The vitamin content depends upon the
proper feeding of the cow and the commer
cial treatment of the milk. However, milk
may be counted on as a good source of vit-!
amins, especially A and B.
The daily consumption for the child and
adult should be kept sufficiently high for!
good health. At least one pint for each
person in the household is a good standard.
Growing children need from three cups to
one quart daily. They do not need to drink
the whole amount, but part of it may be j
used in cooking.
BROADENING OUR VIEW
Although many writers deplore the al
leged lower standard of current magazines
| which are extremely popular with a cer-'
, tain class of people, reports from booksel
j lei's and librarians declare that there is a !
growing demand for the better sort of liter
ature.
Works dealing with travel, history and
biography are being called for in increas
ing numbers, especially those pertaining
to foreign countries.
There is no doubt that the war and the
important events which have followed it
have given the American >eople a wider
outlook on the world and a desire to know
more of the countries and peoples which
are playing such important parts in its af
fairs.
Newspapers generally, both dailies and I
weeklies, find that their readers are inter- j
ested in a wider range of topics than form- i
erly, and are giving more s:>ace to news and 1
editorials dealing with national and inter— i
national matters.
This all means that the reople of Amer
ica, and particularly the rural population,
are outgrowing the narrow provincialism
of the past and are eager for contact ^ith
the rest of the world, through books, news
papers, moving pictures and the :'adio. A!1 |
of which makes for a higher and better ,
civilization.
ONLY A STRAY PUT
What does a stray pup amount to. any- ;
way? What does it matter if such a help- ;
less animal is abused and tortured to make 2
sport for a gang of thou gutless boys? Who *
cares ?
One small boy cared—and because be
cared he made a friend—a friend who did -
not forget. i
Some years ago a kindly man named
Jacob Siler walked along the rank of the -
Mississippi river near St. Louis and came A
upon a group of boys who were amusing
themselves by throwing a stray ] *up into the ~
river time after time, in spite of the pno~ :
tests of one small companion. Finally the -
pup's defender engaged the others in fistic „
combat to save the wretched animal from ,
drowning. He battled so courageously that -
he won the day and saved the pup.
Mr. Siler commended the boy, whose
name was Otto Schmidt, and between the
two a lifelong friendship sprang up. Re
cently Siler died and left $7,500 to the boy. *
now a man, whose humane instincts and ”
courage had rescued the poor dog and won -
the admiration of the casual passerby.
Those who befriend unfortunate ani- *
mals do not always obtain material rewards
such as came to Otto Schmidt, but they in
evitably have the reward of an approving *
conscience, which is greater still. " ~
THANKLESS CITY JOBS
Civic loyalty is a splendid virtue, but one .
can hardly expect thankless jobs and low -
pay to attract the most qualified men to im
portant municipal posiions.
A survey covering 12 eastern cities, con- '
ducted by the Philadelphia bureau of muni- :
cipal research, shows that the salaries of -
higher officials and scientific and profes
sional city workers are at a discouragingly “
low mark. * ;
Men who spend their time deriding city
officials would do well to give a little atten- ’
tion to the conditions under which these
men work and help make city offices more
attractive to persons of ability- and talent. J
We don’t know why the Drys object to
the non-intoxicating beer proposed by Gem I,
Andrews. Certainly, if they drank the stuff
they would have no kick coming
This is the time of the year when every
body would like to be out on a farm some
where except the farmers.
Added Axiom—It’s a long lane that has
no petting party.
