VII, ¢ 569, s 19 amended Several of the deputation strongly urged 'the enforcement of this law, pointing out the fact that the child that is loitering on the streets at night 'is "learning much that will train the child to become an undesirable citi- zen, and that such loiterers become a | menace to property. It was pointed out by some of the speakers that if the law was 'properly enforced from [the very outset there would be no | difficulty, but if the enforcement were half-hearted there would be endless trouble. Reeve Gerow in replying to the deputation, said that he was person- ally in sympathy with their request, {and that the Council would deal with _| the matter as soon as they could find ad Optician, : Port Perry § he we will: Tave a lady here showing . how to use Lacqueret Varnish Stain. or pro-{ fen the dollar? And, Will the taxes $0 raised be sufficient to meet the | requirements of the town? i Few citizens realize how small an condition, Ratepayers cheerfully ask for grants for the various projects in which they are interested. Others ask for sidewalks or extended water 'mains. Others again want to boom the town, plant trees, build a pavilion at the lake front, or construct perma- ient roadways. All these objects are very worthy, but they all cost money. ~The controllable evpenditureé of Port Perry is only between three and four thousand dollars, the bulk of which is spent on the streets, street commissioner and assistants. About $12,000 is raised in taxes, and that amount quickly disappears when $5300 is paid for schools; $3600 for for debentures and interest, $1500 for street lighting, and sundty other i items, T here are a few sources of revenue for the town other than taxes, but the total controllable expenditure is yery little over $3000. If the tax rate were to be maintain- ed at 28 mills, only $2800 would be added to the town funds, making a possible $6000 available for street and other improvements. But there is a general expectancy that the rate will be less than 28 mills, and that expec- tancy is so strong that it will likely receive the consideration which it deserves, which means that the town funds will be increased something less than $2800. This brings us face to face with the real problem of town financifig. Year after year the lack of funds has made it necessary to neglect the strects to a the most efficient means of enforcing the law. He, pointed out that the thoroughness of such enforcement will depend very much upon the hearty co- operation of the parents. i W.

Knowing this, and knowing, too, that the available funds are not sufficient to build per- manent roadways, the question arises 'as to what is to be done about the ! matter. There seems to be only one way to i secure sufficient money to construct { permanent roads in Port Perry, and that is to issue debentures for the purpose, Said debentures might ex- tend over a term of twenty-five or thirty years. Many citizens will be reluctant to increase the town debt in this way, but they would be more reluctant to have taxes so high that they would be burdensome Once the roads were put in proper condition, it would cost comparatiuely little to maintain them if proper care were exercised. Objection may be made to creating a debt which future citizens must help to pay, but it will be much more ob- jectionable to band over an ill-kept, backward town, with streets in ruts, and trade dull. ps i -10: | Ontatio will have 111 pon: laid before imittee of the digisla iy provides for a House compared with 106 ie additions are the net changes that provide € new constituencies and eliminate t number.

Her drudgery has become a delight. Is some mem- ber of the family indolent, irritable or sullen? It is a danger signal that should make the mother quickly in- vestigate the daily food of the afflicted one. Many children are blamed for tempers and tantrums when the real culprits are the parents, who, because of ignorance or indifference, have served food lacking nutrition or indi- gestible food. Civilized people cook their food for several reasons. They have discover- ed that cooked food takes less time for mastication and digestion, and many substances can be used cooked that would be useless otherwise, that greater variety of food can be secured, and that the failing appetites are aroused I'he is stimulating in A day's ration for a healthy by an attractive form and flavor. smell of hot coffee itself. man has been reckoned as follows : Water 414 oz. avoirdupois, albumin- 72 I oids 3 oz., fats, starch and sugar 14 oz, salts 1 oz. It is necessary that all four classes of elements be repre- sented in our daily food, and in some- thing like the above proportions. - If we have too little of any one class we are sure to be ill, and if one class were had plenty of other foods. Were we given but one food above we could exist longer on water: than any other, except milk. Water forms the largest part of all our beverages, and there is water in every food, even if dried common salt is a necessary food, but many people get too much of it now- adays in salt fish and salted meats. Potash salts are found in all fresh vegetables and fruits, There is prob- ably no defect in diet more common than a want of these, especially in towns and cities. Lime is necessary for the building of bones and teeth. We look for it in milk for the young and in whole grains, and know it has' been missing when we see crooked limbs and broken teeth. Iron is look- ed upon as a medicine, not a food, but is a necessary part of the blood, and is obtained from fresh vegetables. Starchy foods are cheapest, so if people have enough of any food they are sure to have enough of these, Bread, potatoes, rice and barley con- tain more starch than anything else. Sago and tapioca are nearly puré starch, and there 15 much starch in beans and peas. © There is no starch in milk, but it has sugar which re- places it. An infant can't make use of starchy food, having no power to digest it. Sugar and molasses are good foods and may take the place of starch, but don't agree with most grown folk, though children can eat large quantities without any incon- PORT PERRY BRANCH Cn) But let the, house-kéeper become alive and under-! left out we should die, even though we .
