MALNUTRITION At least 20 and according to some estimates possibly 33 per cent of the school children of the United States are suffering from malnutrition, as general physical underdevelopment is commonly designated, says the advisory committee on foods and nutrition of the National Child Health Council in a report that will soon be published by the U. S. Public Health Service, which cooperated in its preparation. Malnutrition continues the report, is not confined to any one class or race; in some cities it is apparently as prevalent in the homes of the well to do than in those of persons of more limited means. The condition is evident, not only y weight and growth record but also by listlessness, lack of color, dullness, and sometimes by restlessness and irritability. It is due chiefly to physical defects, faulty habits, or environment. Of physical defects the most common are obstruction (adenoids, for instance) in the nose or throat, which interfere with breathing; and decayed teeth, which breed germs and interfere with chewing. When such defects are remedied many children will develop normally. Faulty food and health habits are also important causes of malnutrition. They include too little food, the wrong kind of food, and bad food habits, whether due to ignorance, poverty, or lack of home discipline; and also faulty posture in standing, sitting, or walking, all of which interfere with the normal functioning of important organs of the body. Such habits can be corrected by proper exercise, which, however, should be carefully controlled as otherwise they may prove harmful. Environmental conditions, which interfere with sufficient sleep, lack of may cause undevelopment and their correction may result in remarkable gains. ORCHARD GLEANINGS BEST EARLY SPRING SPRAYS Orchardist Should Take Day Off From Other Work and Go Over His Spray Outfit. Nothing is more aggravating, time and "religion-losing" than to have a sprayer go wrong when one is in the rush of spraying. Now is the time, therefore, for the orchardist to tune up his spray rig. Take a day from your other work and spend it going over your pump and engine. Get everything in such working order that all you will have to do when the first spray on the schedule comes around, is to hitch up, put your materials in the tank, turn over the engine and say "Let's go!" Order enough spray materials now to last you the season, if you have not already done so. The first apple spray, commonly called the "dormant spray," should be applied any time during the dormant season before the buds start to swell. It consists of 1 part commercial concentrated lime and sulfur to 9 parts water, or if you use the home-made materials dilute it to a specific gravity of 1.08 on the lime-sulfur hydrometer. However, if aphis eggs are present, delay this spray until the apple buds show silvery and apply what is known as the "delayed dormant" spray using lime-sulfur 1 to 9, adding 1½ pints of "Black Leaf 40" to 100 gallons of water. These aphis eggs are tiny, shiny black objects which appear usually around the axils of buds. When they hatch they will be found crawling over the ends of the buds. As every aphis must be hit if he is to be killed, it is necessary to spray thoroughly against the wind as well as with it. The first spray on the peach is... lack of home discipline; and also faulty posture in standing, sitting, or walking, all of which interfere with the normal functioning of important organs of the body. Such habits can be corrected by proper exercise, which, however, should be carefully controlled as otherwise they may prove harmful. Environmental conditions, which interfere with sufficient sleep, lack of may cause undevelopment and their correction may result in remarkable gains. Cases of malnutrition that do not yield to simple corrective measures may require prolonged medical supervision; and, in any event, preventive measures are much better than curative ones. Health education in the schools will go a long way toward preventing malnutrition, not only in the pupils themselves but will also, if the results are brought energetically to the attention of parents, usually react to the benefit of younger children of pre-school age. And the younger child the more easily are proper health habits learned and the more valuable they are. PUTTING EDUCATION TO THE TEST Governor Richardson's attitude toward the educational activities of California has been made to appear as that of a man uninterested, unread and unlettered. By artful methods a picture has been created of the Governor on one side despoiling and destroying the privileges of free education and upon the other side the champions of progress and culture defending defenseless youth in its rights. Now comes a voice of authority which speaks from a background as distinguished in letters and station as any which could be found in the educational world, east or west. In the educationaf councils of the country it takes precedence over any spokesman who might now be found in the ranks of the professional educators in California who are decrying the governor's efforts for economb. Dr. Henry S. Pritchett of New York, former President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and now directing the expenditure of the Carnegie fortune for educational uses took occasion at a recent Rotary club meeting in Santa Barbara to commend the Governor for his courage in putting the educational of the state to the test of proving its worth. Powder Dusting Outfit Operation for Controlling Insects and Diseases leaf-curl. Use 1 part commercial concentrated lime and sulfur to 9 parts of water or home-made lime-sulfur diluted to a specific gravity of 1.03. If San Jose scale is present. If no scale is present, it may be diluted to 1 part of lime-sulfur to 15 parts of water. This strength is sufficient to control peach leaf-curl. It is of utmost importance that this spray be put on before the buds swell because the leaf-curl spores lodge under the bud scales just as soon as they loosen, due to the enlarging of the bud. Dr. Henry S. Pritchett of New York, former President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and now directing the expenditure of the Carnegie fortune for educational uses took occasion at a recent Rotary club meeting in Santa Barbara to commend the Governor for his courage in putting the educational of the state to the test of proving its worth. "The situation, as developed under Governor Richardson's efforts, is likely in the end to help education in the true sense, not to hurt it," said Dr. Pritchett in the course of his remarks. "There must be clear answers: What is the school for? What sort of school is needed for our present day needs. Are we getting in the form of sincere and thorough education what we are paying for. Are we spending a large part of the cost of education on schools that are superficial and expensive. Are the schools from the elementary schools to the University sending into our citizenship well-trained efficient young men and women." Dr. Pritchett, in proposing these questions, has read with surprising accuracy the minds of thousands of citizens of California who have been restive under the mounting costs of education in California. His endorsement of the common sense which is behind the efforts of the Governor to gain some light on the school situation shows that the Governor is not tampering with the schools but is making a needed check of their accomplishments. The man who complains of being constantly cheated is sure to be playing some kind of a cheating game himself. THE PROSPERITY CHORUS Here are some of the straws that show which way the prosperity wind is blowing in the United States: Southern Pacific Railroad has ordered 50 new locotives 141 pessenger cars, and 4,525 freight cars, costing $12,000,000; industrial buildings in New York State outside of New York City were planned for construction in 1922 to the value of $15,730,000, compared with $9,334,000 in 1921; customs receipts or February are estimated at $55,000,000, and the year's total is placed at $500,000,000; the Louisville and Nashville railroad has ordered 6,000 coal cars, 2,000 box cars, 51 steel passenger cars, and 36 locomotives of largest type, costing $20,000,000; Panama Canal traffic in 1922 increased over that for 1921 by 8 percent in transit, 12 per cent in tolls, 14 per cent in net tonnage, and 28 per cent in cargo tonnage; freight cars in need of repairs on February 1, numbered 209,471, showing a decrease in the past year of 121,379; tourists will spend $30,000,000 in Florida's greatest season; in January new buildings for five boroughs of New York City totalled $44,550,000, the greatest January on record, and 33 per cent more than for January, 1922. All of the above facts are taken from the business columns of a single issue of a daily newspaper. A list of similar length and diversity of subjects could be compiled from almost every day's news. It is evident to even the casual reader that the country is on a wave of great industrial activity, rapid growth of foreign trade, and plenty of employment at good wages. The reasons for the improvement from the deplorable conditions of 1920 and 1921 are fundamental. Confidence and contentment have been instilled into the business world and into the minds of all intelligent people by the policies of the Republican government at Washington.

You may honestly believe your salary won't stretch another point, but suppose for instance your rent was raised $10 a month. You would find a way to pay it. What if your salary was reduced $10 a month. You would find a way to make ends meet. These things have happened, so it won't take much imagination on your part to make believe your rent has been raised, starting the first of the month. Then pay that $10 into a Savings Account, and in 12 months you have $120 plus 4 pct interest.
