If you have children who must take their mid-day meal at school, you are Just now asking yourself how and what you should put Into the lunch basket to make this a thirteen baby killers. S a rule we do not advertise patent medicines, but we are going to depart from our custom this week and give a baker’s dozen of them an absolutely free write-up. We would not ven ture to do this if the U. S. Government chemists had not al ready reported on these nostrums, and published their official opinion of the whole lot. What they say, is that each and every one of these pr.paratinns is a “baby killer.” This, then, is the highest expert and official opinion as to these much-ad vertised remedies: They are all “baby killers” and should be shunned as one would shun any other poison. We are printing the list in full below, and it should be preserved by every reader of ours who has the care of child ren. No warning against them is necessary when their official title is remembered; but to let them alone is not enough. If your church or county paper advertises any of them—as some still do—send it the list and ask: “How can you claim to be a friend of the home when you would, for a few dollars of ad vertising money, help poison the little children?” Then if the piper doesn't step advertising them, it will be safest for you to class it n-ith them and keep it outside your doors.

Are they kept in the cloak room along with umbrellas, rubbers, and other out side, and often untidy wraps? Are you asking where the children eat their lunches? Is there a pleasant, attractive room or must they eat them at their desks where they have been sitting all morning? Are you asking yourself, also, whether or not you have sufficiently emphasized the importance of always going to the lunch basket with freshly washed, scrupulously clean hands? The main question, of course. “What constitutes a good school lunch,” you must work out yourself with the materials you have at hand. It is the answer to the question what constitutes a good meal for a child. (To Be Continued.) SOW rAJNSLUS NOW FOB SFKLMO BLOOM.
