Philadelphia is a "fright" and bis freedom

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. BaVed crisp and brown,
every grain of the malteti wheat a little wafer flake, Malta-Vita

women and they can't get along with the
men of the humane society. 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."
Bernstein waa in attendance at the na
