Probation Officer "Mogy" Bernstein, who has Just returned from Philadelphia, Is firmly convinced th west has the east beat as far aa Juvenile court systems are concerned. He declares th system In Philadelphia is a "fright" and bis freedom in telling the Judge who presided over the court so caused a little wordy acra'p be tween th two. "One trouble they have back thre,"he said "lies In the friction between the women probation officers and th humane society officers. All their probation officers ar Oho Perfect Food" In giving good health no other food compares with Malta-Vita the perfect whole-wheat food. This is because Malta-Vita, rich in nutrition, is so easily digested and assimilated that all its valuable life giving food elements are quickly taken up by the blood. No other food so completely meets all the demands of the body and no other i so good to eit.

The Juvenile work Is divided between the two sets of officers and It causes considerable trouble. ' "Another objection Is In the method of trying cases The Judge wears his robe and sits on the bench twenty-five feet away from the child on trlsl. They have to yell at each other when they talk. Then there are six or eight policemen present and the whole atmosphere of the place scares the child. He usually tremble Ilk a leaf. Every two weeka they change Judges, which Is another bad feature. One good thing I found la In a provision re quiting parents to pay for th mainten ance of the child while he ia in charge of the court."
