All Little Boys 
God bless all little boys wbo look like 
Puck, 
_ With wide eyes, wider mouths, and 
stick-out ears. 
Rash little boys who stay alive by luck 
And Heaven’s favor in this world of 
tears. 
The thousand-question-asking little boys, 
Rapid of hand and foot and thought as 
Well, 
Playing with gorgeous fancies more than 
toys, 
Heroes of what they dream but never 
tell. 
Father, in Your vast playground let them 
know 
The loveliness of ocean, wood and hill; 
Protect from every bitterness and woe 
Your heedless little acolytes; and still 
Grant me the grace I ask upon my knee# 
Not to forget that I was one of these. 
—Arthur Guiterman. 
The Children’s Bureau of the U. S. 
Department of Tabor has issued Folder 
No. 3, “Why Drink Milk?” It gives 
briefly convincing reasons why milk 
should be used freely, and especially 
stresses the child’s need of it. Says this 
leaflet: 
In our food there is a substance called 
protein which is necessary for growth. 
Milk can furnish till the protein the body 
needs. The infant receives his protein 
entirely from milk, and the adult should 
get a large share of his protein from some 
form of milk—whole or skim-milk, butter¬ 
milk, clabber, or cottage cheese, which is 
the curded protein separated out of milk. 
'Not all proteins are of equal value for 
tissue building. Eggs, meat and fish are 
among the few foods that contain the 
same sort of high-grade or adequate pro¬ 
tein as milk. Cereals and vegetables can¬ 
not alone supply enough of this quality 
of protein. 
Milk furnishes not only the best but 
the cheapest body-building material. A 
quart of milk supplies as much protein 
as seven ounces of sirloin steak or four 
large eggs. Milk protein is good for 
everybody, but children need an abund¬ 
ance of it. Every year growing children 
should add to their weight in new bone, 
blood and muscle, from 5 to 15 lbs., ac¬ 
cording to their age. 
Our bones and teeth are made largely 
of lime, which is a form of calcium. Time 
is also a necessary part of the blood and 
of all body organs. One quart of milk 
will furnish as much calcium as 10 large 
oranges, 10 large helpings of cauliflower, 
24 large helpings of carrots, 32 eggs, or 
20 lbs. of beef. Whole cereals, eggs, meat 
and fish are the best foods for furnishing 
additional phosphorus. 
Milk supplies some iron, but not 
enough. Leafy vegetables (such as spin¬ 
ach). egg yolk and beef supplement milk 
in regard to iron, and can be usfd even 
for the infant. 
The body must be provided with cer¬ 
tain essential substances called vitamins 
if health and normal development are to 
be assured. Wben a diet is lacking vyliol- 
ly or partly in any one of the vitamins a 
special disease may develop, but long be¬ 
fore this happens the child loses appe¬ 
tite, is ailing, ceases to grow normally, 
and is weakened in resistance to infec¬ 
tious disease. Whole milk, cream and but¬ 
ter are the most important and most eco¬ 
nomical source of one of the vitamins. 
Other sources are egg yolk, liver, leafy 
vegetables and cod-liver oil. Another 
vitamin affects tooth and bone forma¬ 
tion. Egg yolk and milk fat furnish some 
of this vitamin, but its most abundant 
source is such fish fats as cod-liver oil. 
Two other vitamins are found in the 
breast milk of healthy mothers and in 
fresh milk from properly fed cows, but 
one or possibly both may be lacking in 
poor, stale or heated milk. Fresh fruits 
and green vegetables are the best source* 
of these two vitamins. Every baby, pai 
tieularly if not breast-fed, should receive 
daily the juice of some acid fruit, such as 
orange or tomato. In Winter, when it is 
impossible to be daily in the direct sun¬ 
shine outdoors for any considerable peri¬ 
od, all infants, whether nursed or arti¬ 
ficially fed, should be given cod-liver oil. 
Breast milk may be deficient in vitamins 
if the mother is improperly fed. 
have frequently found it the case where 
there is no religious service at all in a 
community that society just naturally 
retrogrades, and all that has been done 
for advancement is wasted. We have no 
preacher, and I heartily envy those Con¬ 
necticut people their “Pastoral Parson.” 
So I went to our pretty little church 
in the “wildwood” and was glad 'to be 
there; we always stay after service and 
talk of the crops, the weather and other 
things of mutual interest. This is a busy 
farming section where help is hard to 
secure and wages high, compared to the 
money received for strawberries and po¬ 
tatoes this year. Often for weeks, if it 
were not for the Sunday school and oc¬ 
casional church social, many of the people 
would not see each other except in case of 
illness. 
Referring to editorials, I know that it 
is advocated by some of our advanced 
folks not to read them, but do our own 
thinking; good advice, if we all were 
bright enough to do that, but I believe it 
is a fact that reading these articles starts 
a new wrinkle in our thinking apparatus, 
and many new and better ideas are

This is Monday morning, or “Busy 
Morning” would be a good name, I think, 
after packing lunches and getting half a 
dozen children off to four places for 
school. Yesterday I did not want to go 
to church, because it was easier to stay 
at home; then I remembered an editorial 
I read recently on “Paganism in the Rural 
Districts of America,” and immediately 
I decided to go, for you see we do not 
want our Sunday school to go down, and 
even one regular attendant is missed. I 
brought to light. Much is being said and 
- written about the humdrum loneliness of 
country life. Why be lonely when books 
and papers are so easily secured? The 
R. N.-Y. is a welcome member of our 
family, to whom the “Hope Farm Notes” 
have been an inspiration for many years. 
Our people out here, nine miles from 
town, are delighted with the new bus line 
that furnishes free transportation for our 
high school children. It is cool here now, 
and we have a wood fire in the open fire¬ 
place. It is so homey that I wish every 
American farm family could afford an 
open fire. mbs. a.
