Work Day for the Orphans A layman of our city conceived the idea of every well wisher of | the work of saving the orphaned I children of our state and South land, contributing the value of one day ’s work annually to this cause. This has been several years ago. The first contribution was secured for the Decatur Orphans’ Home, amouting to *BOO.OO. and has grown steadily from year to year until it reached one year the sum of 0,500 for this one Institution Many other Orphanages took up the movement and it has spread until scores ol Homes have been greatly bene fitted by it. October the lltli is the day set apart this year and we are in hopes that every friend of the orphans will come to their rescue with as large a contribution as they feel able fo give. This year has been a v ery pros perous one oil over the states and the price of cotton is better than for many years. 1 am making this statement just prior to Work Day to remind the friends of the orphanage work not to forget the children on Oct. 12th.

Professor Goodfellow, the well-known English Authority on bread, says that when milk Is eaten with bread, the digestion of the bread is 10 per cent, less complete. This would naturally follow from the principles of the monodiet already explained. There are few better combina tions than bread and milk, but no combination Is perfect. Dr. Porter and others who have had much experience with the milk diet Insist that for the best re sults nothing must be taken with the milk. Those foods should be combined which are most compatible.
