A NEW APPEAL

Economy is the guiding prin- ciple of the Homes in all their work. But every mother knows that you cannot economise on the food of children, without detri- ment to their health.

The Barnardo family requires over 26,000 meals a day: 175,000 meats a week: 9,100,000 meals a year.

Bread is a large item. 1,600 loaves are baked daily by the lads in the Barnardo bakehouse, but this supplies only about half the family. Milk is another big item in the daily menu. 1,000 gallons per day are required.

In order to supply the needs of this large family, which equals a town in size, the Homes are ap-

Jerusalem.

The oldest man in the world, who claims to be 150 years of age, has come to Beirut, in Syria. His Inst visit was made in 1830.

Ho is Badik Agha, from Turkey, who says that he was born six years before the French Revolu: tion. He has had 122 wives and 112 children, His descendants number more than 1,000,

Badik Agha still remembers vividly one of his early wives, who bore him fifteen sons. She died soon after the American Civil War.

"She was a worthy mate," he de- clares. "Women nowadays have no stamina.”—Router..
