) Omahtni Adopt French Orphans. , Omaha people have ent $4,830 to the lociety for fatherlest children ot Fnnce, which has headquarters in New York City. Madam August Mothe Borglum hopes to be able to receive an additional $170, so that when the goes east the latter plrt of June or the first of July to spend the summer In Connecticut, sue win oe ame to re- E Ort $5,000 apent to care tor little omeless French children. The com mittee haa asked to meet Midline Borglum when she comes to New York and to receive a report of Oma ha's interest in the work. Ninety-two Omaha people now have "adopted" these little orphans. One friend of the cause collected enough to adopt half an orphan, so that now Madame Borglum is looking for someone to take the other half. Everyone has some little desire to put money to some good use, and what could be more sympathetic than to save 10 cents a day to apply direct ly to the needy object? . A Chicago society editor tells the atory of a young man of her ac quaintance who adopted a little French girl. (The young men, by the way, seem to prefer to be "big broth ers" to "little sisters" rather than to "little brother.") This particular lit tle girl sent her picture to her big guardian, and a little later the mother ent a photograph f herself, with what intention t,he young man did not know. Omaha men are not behind the Chi cago gentlemen in adopting little French girla. One benedict, who (hall be nameless here forevermore, telephoned to Madame Borglum:' "Have you an- French girls left for adoption?" "How old shall she be?" madame replied. "That i the trouble," he aaid, "I have to be very careful about the age, I fear I dare not take one over 10." Little Elinor Kountre received the funniest letter from her French girl the other day. Perhaps tome time you have received a letter from a little American tot wha was just learning to write? Little Elinor a letter was from a littl French girl who was just beginning to write. A charming letter came to Omaha the other day from a little boy named Roger. "Dear little benefactor: I thank you for your sympathy and your great kindnes to me. It is a very deep happines to think that away over there acroit the ocean there is another littl on who share my aorrow.

It is fashioned very simply, with a wide belt crossing over the surplice and a sash end crossing through the belt. A touch of cross stitch embroidery at the hem and at the end of the belt and a little collar of soft batiste give the dress a look of old-fashioned quaintness which is particularly charming. The model was ' developed in half-inch checks of cool-looking blue and white, but lavender or rose, or pale green might equally well be used with a white check Feeding the During the fourth year milk still remain! an . important part of the child' food, but much of it may now be given in the form of bread and milk, milk soups or milk puddings, or It may be poured over the cereal.

The diet at thit time should in clude all the article advised for the two earlier yeaia, with the addition of more meat!, vegetable and fruit. Baked potatoes, with a little 'butter, are a staple tood at tnu period, creta and butter or toast and butter and plenty of Hard crusts or awieback are important. Egg or meat, auch as roasted, boiled or broiled beef, mut ton, chicken or fish, should be given at least once a day.- i , The child of 4 will probably thrive on three or four meals a day, the heaviest being taken In the middle ot the day. If he appeara to be hun gry a light lunch such at milk may be iriven in the interval between breakfast and dinner or between din ner and aupper, but no nibbling hould be nermitted between meals. A child should be taught to come to the table with that vigorous appetite tor his food which leadl to good diges tion and assimilation. Food should be carefully prepared to fit it to a child's power and ahould he lerved In an iDDetilina fashion at proper intervals. Young children thould not oe orterea tastes oi tne family meals, at thit habit tenda to destroy the appetite for the eimple, rather restricted diet adapted to their need.

Malnutrition mavibe due to lack of sufficient food of any kind, to improper food, bad cooking or to some fault of digestion or to illness which makes it impossible for the child properly to utilize the food he eats. It is a wise precaution, therefore, if children are out of sorts, have de cayed teeth, bad breath or seem tired and disinclined to play to have them examined by a good doctor and to take all the trouble necessary to get them into aound eating habitt. The neglect of these early symptoms may mean a lifetime ot only partial health and efficiency. , ExplMion la Powder Mill. BorRnton, Ph., May 31.
