M & The Editor Hears That the question of providing their families with purg, nourishing food is one of the most widely dis- cussed subjects of the women of to-|" day. In eyery magasine, every news- paper and' in hundreds of books and pamphlets sent out by the health de- partment of the government, this im- portant issue is spoken of as the vital one. We have inspectors of public eating places, of all the plants in which food is made, of meats and of milk and butter dairies. 'But we - have no inspector of the homes of our eitizens who live in the residential parts of our cities or in our rural districts, "And yet in many homes little care is taken to prevent te germs, from which 'we |] tn bottle E§E3 fil ef § $ : 2 i i Es ih i: gis2 i di f irs his g § ii fin do?" : The question rather stumped me sand I didn't answer for .a moment. Then, thinking I might as well "break the'news to mother" then as well as later, I said: "I don't know what Rill Winston can do, but I know what I'm going to do. After last night's experience I've found out that what I've been doing lately doesn't get me anywhere and it fen't going"to get me 'any- where except perhaps a spill from an automobile and a scandal. What I am going to do is to get out and go to work. I'm sure I can earn my own living and I shall let everybody that hds nothing better to do than talk themselves black in the face, about me, do it." Mother looked at me in consterna- tion and whispered in accents of de- spair as she left the room: 3 "I don't know what I shall tell your father, Julia." "Tell him the truth," I called after her, and I added td myself, "I shall tell him the truth if he asks me any- thing about it." For a few moments I got quite a kick out of anticipation just what my father uld do and say when he heard the whole story, but in my wildest imagination, I never really thought he would do what he did.
