GOVERN M HNT AG KN CI ICS
HOMEM AKING.
.
Numerous Government agencies are
at work in behalf of homcmaking,
according to u recent report on home
education prepared by Miss Ellen C.
Lombard of tho Bureau of Education,
Department of tho Interior. Besides
the Bureau of Education which
maintains divisions of home education
the Bureau of Mines, the Reclama
tion Service, and tho Office of Indian
Affairs, all of the Interior Depart
ment, ure doing direct work in educa
tion for the home. The Treasury De
partment, through its Public Health
Service, and tho Departments of
Agriculture, Lulbor, and Commerce
are also promoting homcmaking
through one or more bureaus or offices.
The Reclamation Service of the In
terior Department is reaching the
women on the projects; it is working
for improved conditions in the homes.
and it has taken active steps in in
augurating clubs for study purposes.
More than 200 clubs have been formed
among the project women, every one
of the lt States where the Govern
ment hns reclamation projects being
represented. The Reclamation Rec
ord, the organ of the Reclamation
Service, has become an important fac
tor in reaching the women on the pro
jects; one entire section of this peri
odical is given over to project women
and their interests.
The Indian Office, also under the
Department of the Interior is carrying
on four distinct activities in the pro
motion of bettor home conditions:
Through tho Indian children In school;

UPON "CHARITY" IS WORSE. WE CAN'T ALWAYS PREVENT

through the farmer on tho farm;
through tho medical service; and
Whxough the work of the field matron.
The field matron comes into close con
tact with tho Indian mothers. She in
structs them how to care for them
selves and little children; how to
give the children proper food. She
teaches them how to care for their
houses and gives them valuable les
sons in the importance of ventilation,
sunlight, and cleanliness. She exerta
a definite moral influence in advising !
the mothers. j
Homemaking as a problem in tho
territories and dependencies of the
United States has had the attention of
the Government for some time, and
much good work has been done, al
though there nre still sections, espec-M
uilly in tho insular dorandencie
where a careful study of living con
ditions and a plan of work for home
education are needed. In Alaska,
where the education of natives is un
der the direction of tiho Department
of tho Interior, every teacher is a so
cial worker and strives in every waj
possible to promote the physical,
moral and industrial welfare of the
natives, adults as well as children. In
the native villages the teachers 'and
nurses of the Alaska School 'Service
endeavor to establish proper sanitary
conditions iby inspecting the houses,
by insisting upon the proper disposal
of garbage, and by giving instruction
in sanitary methods of living. Na
tives are encouraged to replace their
huts by neat, well-ventilated houses.
In some sections the natives hnv
, been taught to raise vegetables, as a
. healthful addition to tfhe usual diet of
j fish and meat.
I The need of home education in Por
to Rico is evidenced by a survej of
ome conditions recently made by a
special investigator for the Bureau of
Education. While much valuable
.work hns already been done by the
authorities, there is u.gent need for
' s'rnplo instruction in tho selection and j
1'iepurmion or proper food, especially
lor infants. Steps have already been
: taken to bring the women together in
small groups to discuss home nrob
lems. To a largo extent this work
will be directed by the teachers.
j In the Philippines such Government
.agencies as the bureau of education,
: the bureau of health, and tho bureau
' of agriculture, have been activelv ph.
gaged in improving and building up
nome lite. There is tho closest rela
tion between the home and the school.
The bureau of education of the Phil
ippines, co-operating with the bureau
of agriculture, has been instrumental
in tho establishment and supervision
of thousands of home gardens, while
the bureau of health, which has
gained an international reputation for
its successful efforts to control dis
eases of the tropics, has distributed
circulars regarding epedemics and
has in many other ways reached the
homes of the people wiBli instruction
in preventive health measures.
Ell
OF
MONTE
Theodore Roberts, the distinguished
star, will be seen at the Arcade Fri
day and Saturday, in the photodra
niatic version by Jesse L. Lasky of K.
Phillips Oppenheim's thrilling novel,
"Mister Grex of Monte Carlo," which
recently appeared in serial form in
the Saturday Evening Post and is now
one of the most widely discussed
hooks of the day. It is a Paramount
picture.
The Lasky company has given "Mis
ter Grex of Monte Carlo" a produc
tion of its usual lavishness and fidel
ity to detail.
The scenes in the Casino at Monte
Carlo were taken in a set which was
an exact replica. of tho great gambling
salon at Monte Carlo. This scene is
said by authorities to be absolutely
correct.
The distinguished American artisv,
Theodore Roberts, is seen as "Mister
Grex," otherwise the Grand Duke
Augustus of Russia, and the clever
young lactojr, Carlyfle Blackwll, is
the impetuous young American. The
Grand Duchess Fedora is Miss Doro
thy Davenport. Other people prom-
Frank Elliott, Horace B. Carpenter
and other members of tho Lasky organization.
The Best R ccommendation.
The'strongest recommendation any
article may receive is a favorable
word from the user. It is the recom
mendations of those who have used it
that makes Chamberlain's Cougn
Remedy so popular. Mrs. Amanda
Gierhart, Waynesfiold, Ohio, writes,
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been used in my family off and on for
twenty years and it has never failed
to cure a cough or cold." Obtainable
everywhere.
