City Missionary’s Report. The report of City Missionary Nor- throp, went into that work in detail, giving also many helpful suggestions on phases of the work. It was In part as follows: The most noticeable, though not most important, activity of the City Mis- slon Is seen in the material ald ex- tended to individuals and families. About 230 families have come into | touch with the mission during the past { year and have received help in one or more of the three usual lines of food, fuel and clothing. Clothing has been given to 140 families. About 90 of them have received clothing only, which has been supplied from the donations of the public. Only a limited amount of money is spent for ne ticles of | clothing. -About 80 families have re- [ ceived food and fuel during the year, | 60 of them only occasionally, or for a few weeks, 20 of them pretty regularly. Only seven families have received such aid every week. Of these 80 families more than one-quarter received ald also from the town, mostly in rent. It 18 to be regretted that the suggestions made last year by @ special committee of the Board of Trade of the city in the way of improving the public ser- | vice, so far as the outslde mnor are | cancerned, have not been acted upon. The much needed co-operation between public and private charity still awaits realization He mentioned the Thanksgiving din- ners in which 160 families were assist- ed, 60 of these having no other help from the mission during the vear. There was about $40 contributed for Christmas money, and in addition there wera toys distributed to over 100 chll- dren of 40 different families. In the fresh air work there was about $140 available in giving trolley and steamer rides to nearly 250 women and children representing over 80 familles. Probably the most veluable work of the mission, of & kind that cannot be tabulated, 18 to be found in the friend- ly calls made by the missionary, his assistant, friendly visitors, district vis- itors and nurses, and in the assistance | | information, instruction, advice, direc- tion, warning, encouragement, given to all_sorts of seekers. Of course, we do not give to every n that asketh of us. In some cases is better not to. The public are gain asked to send all house to house applicants, whatever their declared i needs, to the mission rooms, where they are sure of receiving the best at- tention that modern charity can give them. It is not the purpose nor the intention of the mission to give food to wandering beggars, nor to men with no desire to work. For purposes of accommodation, and not as a settled polley, the misston acts as an intermediary, especially in the cases of those connected with the mission, in the matter of bringing to- gether those who seek work and those who seek workers. As a rule, strangers seeking work are referred to the appro- priate agencles in the city which are engaged In the regular business of em- ployment bureaus. | Of the varlous matters nt m that have ed around the mission depart- it may be sufficlent to Tefer to more than one case of incurable dis- de more bearable tiil death ; the ministrations of the dis- t nurses, and the comforts and con- niences emanating from this depart- {ment; to special nurses provided for | ursent needs; to three versons sent to | the Undercliff sanatorium at Meriden by way of the mission rooms at the ex- pense of the Red Cross soclety and anti-tuberculosis league; to three chil- dren of a disbanded home sent to the care and training of an excellent pri- ate home in the state! to a two weeks’ acation given to a young working girl in the vacation house at Madison, Ct The city missionary in his capacity as probation officer of the city comrt gets insight into the family life and Individual habits of many who are helped or who may come to be helped Dby the mission, and many opportunities of doing good to those who may never esk for help of any kind. Out of the hundreds that pass through the city court yearly, only a few are likely to most of them are old offenders, gen- erally intemperate, and with fixed hab- its, with little intention or power to de better. And for such a jail sentence or a fine are about all that our social conditions provide now. Infre- quent victims of intoxication who have familles may sometimes best serve the public and thelr families by being allowed freedom to keep at work on a suspended sentence, under direction as to conduct and disposal of wages,while in the case of young boys and other first offenders the method of probation is worth trving, and in many cases works well. Out of the 40 cases put in charge of the probation officer during the vear, 18 were boys, ranging in age, for theft, some of them for the first time. Two of them were 11 years old, six were 1, three were 14, four were 15 and one was 17 (just beginning to drink). In almost all these cases parental neglect lies at the root of the mischief, which has begun to be rather deep- seated before the boys get arrested. Sometimes the home is the worat place for the bhoys to grow up in and in such cases it 18 the parent who should prob- ably be brought fnto court for neglect of ‘duty. The only chance for some boys to grow up useful and honest is to be found in some reformatory insti- tution The one girl under probdation proved incorrigible, both before and after, and hag left home, probably to continue & dissolute life, There were two women placed on probation with somewhat hopeful re- sults, at first. Twenty-one men were given a chance to keep out of jail and be good citigens. Their ages razige from 23 to 68, Bvery one of them was, and is, an habitual drinker. and in most of the cases was arrested for intoxication, or for breach of peace occasioned by it. For some of these men probation helped thelr fami- lles, by keoping themselves reasonably sober for a few weeks, and allowing more of the wages to go for family supplies. Others of them, after set- fling the case by paying small costs, lkeep on, witheut much improvement. Their habits are formed. Temptation is too strong and society offers no help to such in keeping them sober. Pro- bation {s no remedy for the habitual drinker. Tt does its best to save the beginners in lawlessness and self in- dulgence from tho consequences of their own acts, but tho same public that provides probation paermits the conditions that call for its use, For district nursing Miss Kate Rudd reported eight families were visited with 1,827 calls made. _ Acknowledge- ment was made to Dr. Pollock and th {rustees of the Norwich State hospital for valued assistance ment.

Sewing School and Employment Bu- reau. Mrs. Lucius Brown reported on the vacation sewing school that the. tern was shorter than usual in the past year, because the teacher who could be secured could give only three weeks to the work, but a surprising amount of work was accomplished in the 15 lessons, 118 articles being completed, an average of four to each pupil. The committee expressed thanks to the teachers to Porteous & Mitchell and N, S. Gllbert & Co. The total expenses of the school had been $40.52. Report of work of the employment bureau was read by Mrs. Mary G. Webster. Work had been received by 50 people in the year. The number of pleces cut and made had been 3,434 Sales had been unusually good In the past year and at Christmas time the demand for aprons was much greater than the supply. District _visitation was reported by Mrs. E. E. Perry. It ia a work in which all members can contribute. The collections had been $17. Rock Nook home $36, Sheltering Arms $1,21 general treasury; a total of $1,264. Sheltering Arms and Rock Nook Home. For the Sheltering Arms Mrs. B. W. Hyde reported, testifying to the faith- fulness of the matron. Thirty patients have been at the home, three deaths occurring, and at the beginning of the present year there are 15 in the home. She acknowledged all the special gifts and favors shown to the home by the general public, and also the services of the physiclans, the dally papers and the help of the merchants. Mrs. Loulsa G. Lane reported for the Rock Nook home, gratefully ac- knowledging a good year at the home, mentioning a fortunate escape from fire and the prompt response of the Norwich department, also help in mat- ters of sickness from Dr. R. W. Kim- ball and the Backus hospital. As the children in the home grow body in and personal experlence, it is expected that their hearts and souls will grow in beauty. Donations of $554.3¢ had been recejved from organizations and individuals for the year, enough to carry along three children for a year. Expenses for the year have been $4, 078, and as it costs a little over $3 per week to keep'a child at the home, Mra. Lane asked her hearers if they would not like fo take this into consideration and make a contribution which would support a child for some definite time. The club department was reportel by Mrs, Willis Austin, shownig 311 children registered,but soon to be aug- mented by a club of 75 boys. Bhe spoke of the call for manual training. There are 12 clube, all entered with enthusiasm h{ their members. The cooking club 18 80 much desired that it 18 kept almost as a reward of merit. Classes of Polish children, Hebrew children, 49 Busy Bees, brass working and clay modeling were reported. The elub work Is far-reaching, touching the children and thelr families, and much of the success of the work is due to the club director, Miss Alice Hooper, Mrs. Austin invited people having to send them to DMiss Hooper. Finances. After a vote to have the printed, the treasurer, Miss Butts, presented by the president to speak upon Finances. She referred to the invasion of the funds in the past year as a dangerous practice, and _after mentloning certain generous and vol- untary responses from the philathrop public,said that the organization would he happy to receive suggestions on any lines of economy -which Its friends might have to offer. This concluding the reports, Dr. H. M. Pollock, superintendent of the No: wich state hospital, was then introduc- ed to speak upon the topic of Food and Diet, All of use are interested In food, the doctor said, all at least from a con- sumer'’s standpoint, some unfortunat ly from a recetver’s as well as a con- mer's; the majority from a pro- ducer's, and you from a dispenser's viewpoint as well. Had you been call- ed upon to dispense charity to pre- historic man, yours would have been a very limited fleld, at least among the young and old, for the infant de- prived of its mother ceased to exist, and long before prehistoric man had acquired an age that required any careful selection of his diet, his teeth from his constant endeavor to derive | sufficlent . nourishment from the un- cooked roots htat he from time to time purloined from the sofl, or from a weaker brother, had become so worn to the gums that the little he was able to obtain, he was umable to assimilate and he was gathered to his fathers. Cold 8torage Age. But this is not the prehistoric age, but the cold storage age, the age when the reply to the question “Who is my peighbor?” is a wide and at time an | aimost too generous. dispensation’ of | charity. Food must be bestowed upon those In want, but for its intelligent | selection greater technical knowledge | is perhaps demanded than in any oth- er_benevolence. | Dr. Pollock described how the chem- | fcal, phyeical and physiological tests couid be applied to food, and then passed on to the economic test, which also enters into the determination of what to use. From tabies that are readily obtain- able from the United States depart- ment of agriculture, you will find not only the protieds, fats and carbohy- drates contained In each of the artl- cles of food, but the calories or fuel valeu as well. It is the calories and the building material i proteids that can be obtatned for a particular sum | that you should consider in making your selections. It Is surprising to note how Httle index the market value of a food is fo its real value; how one pays for flayor or rarity and not for food value, just as one pays in dress for style end ornament and not for wear or warmth. If you desire fish you can perhaps purchase the coarser ones for gix or eight cents per pound, while for those of a finer flavor you may pay from 16 to 20 cents and ob- | tain practically no moré food value. In meat it will be found thet scraps es purchased furnish almost doubie the food velue of tenderloin steak and | that' more actual ofod valué is obtain- ed from the rump than from the loin. Oat meal oan be purchased in buik or | in peckages, at two or thres times the | cost. The necessary fat can be sup- | plied from butterine, olive oil, or drippings or from the most expensive butter. For the Children. Diet for the first vear for children should consist aimost entirely of miik. A GREAT LAWYER SAID 1f 1 had my way,” a famous law- yer once said, “I would make good health as contagious as measies.” Just think of it—suppose you could satch good health as easily &s you catch cold—this would be a poor world for doctors and druggists. Mrs, T. A. Trapp who lives in Ar- lingten, N, J., has found the next best thing to catching good health. mhe says, “A few weeks ago I contracted a cough. which annoyed me a great deal as I was badly run' down at the time, It kept me awake at night and distressed mo greatly, After twe weeks of thls I began to take Vinol and ona Dottle not only ) caused my cough to disappear but I feel much Detter In every way and can sleep well again, It you gsn't lterally “catch” goed health, yau can at least recover it and build "yourself up by taking our de- licious cod liver and iron remedy, Vinol.

As cow's milk differs in its percentage of proteid, fats and carbohydrates from that of the mother, it is necessary that it should be so modified at intervals as to approach mother's milk as close- iy as possible: ~It may be necessary at times to use the so-called patent foods, but as a rule cow's milk can be 'S¢’ miodified as to meet every requirement. Up to nine months no other fgod than milk is necessary. It is also all suffi- clent for the next three, although the digestive secretions are now suéh as to permit of the digestion of carbohy- drates other than those found in milk. The transition from the purely milk diet to a mixed diet should be brought about very slowly and graduelly. The child of one year it cutting teeth and requires something upon which to bite; he Is also acquiring the power to di- gest starches and should have starch to work upon. Perhaps a piece of dry toast meets this double requirement better than anything else. Eggs, fruits, fresh or dried, and cereals, bread with gravy, butterine or butter anil milk in gradually reducing quantities should make up the diet for the first year. A little meat may be given, but it should be small in amount. As much as possi- ble of the food given the child during the first few years should require chewing. If he is to be fed between meals give him a dry. crust 3nd he will receive positive benefit, but not on soft bread and jam. Requirements. It should always be remembered that a child requires approximately One- half as much proteld and fat as does a man at a moderate amount of work, while a child at 15 demands nearly 2s inuch, and that in a growing child one- third of the proteid should preferably be of animal origin. Protelds of vese- table origin should -be obtained from oats in the form of oatmeal and rolled oats, from wheat in the form of bread, certain of the breakfast foods und macaron!, from corn in the form of hominy, and from the various lentils in the form of flour. Sugar is craved by children possibly because it is 30 easily digested. It apparentlv does not in- jure the teeth if they are given pro: attention and if taken in moders is beneficial rather than harmful can ‘be obtained from drippings, gravy, butter, butterine, bacon and olive ofl. Mineral matters from milk and egge. Beverages other than water or milk have no place in the child’s d The diet In old age need not o extensive remarks. The diet should be simple and should not include alcohol or condiments other than salt, a mod- erate amount of pepper and d Starchy foods should be thor Iy masticated and all those prone to slip into the stomach unchanged carefully avolded.
