TIIE CHILD'S HEALTH IN HOME
AND SCHOOL.
Subscription Rates:
Two problems concerning the
health and physical and mental de
velopment of a child confront
thoughtful parents today, con
sideration of the child outside of
school and attention to Its environ
ment within the school.
Whether In country or In city,
the home influence on its health Is
most important. A constant and con
trollable factor is Us food. Herein
lies llie home responsibility of the
mother. Sl^e must learn that tne
feod of the growing child is next
only in importance to Its feeding ns
an Infant; and that the greatest
good comes to It from plain, nutrl

the Atlanta Bible-Conference In all

zone figuring being taken into con
sideration.
This is a rs^ept order of the post
master general, and is of more than
passing interest to the public, be
cause of the change it effects.
The third class matter comprises
miscellaneous printed matter, not In
cluding newspapers and periodicals,
which are in the second class.
The old rate for the third class
matter has been 1 cent for each 2
ounces, or fraction thereof, or 1-2
cent an ounce.
Under the new ruling, matter of
this class, weighing over four pounds
and up to the parcel post weight
limit, goes for parcel post zone rates
prepaid. .
It is supposed the change was made
because of the steadily increasing
weight of parrels of this kind
matter, and the fact that often
senders were compelled to divide
their packages Into two or more to
keep within the limit of weight—
under four pounds.
All classes of mail matter, except
the first class, or letter mail, is con
stantly increasing in weight per
package and the government is con
stantly on the watch for the manner
of handling it most economically.
