Developing Baby's Taste • '4ea.Z.:••11r_ By BETTY As soon as you begin to add strained fruits and vegetables to tour baby's menu, you can help rim develop a taste for an all- Sound, well balanced diet by train- ing him to accept a variety of lavorst Babies are naturally satis- led with a monotonous menu. And mien you stimulate and cultivate heir taste, they may quite easily levelop food prejudices that are =cult to overcome later on. Forty Items to Choose From It's not hard for mother, nowa- lays, to plan and serve varied meals.. Forty different items are tow available for baby and junior nouns, They are scientifically* prepared to preserve vitamins and hey have all been developed with the special food needs of babies and toddlers in mind. They are all ready to serve after warming. The baby foodsit industry, now a basic essential for millions of babies, was started just twenty- five years ago by Harold Clapp, t harassed father who, while his wife was ill, put in many hard hours cooking and straining special fruits and vegetables for his infant ton. Realizing that mothers Would welcome specially prepared wbrk. free fooda tot their babies, he Started manufacturing them in his basement in 1921. Ton years later he Sold his business for $1,000,000. Baby foods sales have now reached volume Of $100,000,000 a year, Babies Thrive on Strained Foods babies thrive on the feeding and care they get newadays, and the groWth of the baby foods industry lit this country parallels the ire- Om/Orient in baby health, In 1920, cut Of every thousand live births', Mt infants died under one year of MtSe 13y 1008, this number had been reduced to 81 per thousand, ',i4aY ktiOW the Amu% it far BARCLAY lower and it will be still lower when the statistics for 1946 are compiled. Of course, no one reason is re- sponsible for all that improvement, according to H. W. Roden, presi- dent of Clapp's Baby Foods. But doctors are convinced that this new type of infant feeding has been an important contributing factor. Most American babies, by the time they are a year old, have been fed some of these special strained foods for about nine months. There is an increasingly large assortment to choose from, of course, for the older child, for by the time he needs foods that challenge the chewing power of his new teeth, there are additions to his menu in the form of appetizing junior foods, designed to suit the health and appetite requirements of the toddler. ,Let Baby Sample New Flavors If baby doesn't Welcome a new food the first time you give it to him, don't make him finish it. Take it away, from him without lotting him get upset over It. Then try it again a couple of days later. He will usually learn to like It after he has sampled it a few times, At a press Conference recently eelebrating the baby foods indus- try's twenty-ilfth anniversary, Mr. Roden announced that a reassuring letter had been received from Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson.

In the park, down by the river, or in your own back yard, move out under the sky for an occas- ional picnic, For there's ease and good fellowship found in eating, out- doors that just cannot happen inside four walls. If it's possible to have a small fire, take wieners, corn and coffee. The boy scout of today or yester-year will en- joy helping in this cooking venture, He can build afire while the picnic cloth is spread out and the limited supply of dishes arranged within everyone's reach. The rest of the meal can be Old fashioned potato salad, cucumber sticks, small tomatoes, the bottles of mustard, salt and pepper and the des- sert of fat ginger cookies and fresh peaches, You may forget (on pur- pose) the sugar, but a bottle of cream for the coffee is a treat. By the way we suggest you leave on the inner husks of the corn and peel them back far enough to rub off the silk and pull back over the corn—, then wieners and corn can go in the same black iron pot. Here are some more picnic ideas: 1. Bologna heated in spicy tomato sauce, sliced thick and served on toasted buns with corn niblets. 2. Hamburgers are a natural picnic feast. Make them into patties at home, carry between layers of waxed paper. 3. Stuffed eggs have many varia- tions. Try devilling. them by an old recipe. Mix yolks of 4 eggs, 114 tea- spoon salt, 112 teaspoon mustard, 114 tsp. cayenne, 1 tsp. vinegar and 1 tbsp. salad dressing. Fill halves and stick together again. Vary by adding pre- pared horseradish, minced meat and parsley. 4. Apples, Onions, and potatoes' taste better, cooked outdoors for a change. 5. Man-sized sandwiches and pick- les. 6. Favourite squares of marble cake —there's no worry ,aibout crumbs; or tarts, Fresh fruit is always welcome. 7. Scalloped . potatoes in an oven proof dish with mushroom soup shoUld be wrapped in several thick- nesses of newspaper and carried where- ever you picnic to stay hot. S. After peeling tomatoes, pack them in a wide mouthed jar and chill in electric refrigerator. Wrap the jar in paper to keep tomatoes cool. 9. Macaroni Salad: Cook one 9 oz. pkg. elbow macaronio till it's done, hold under cold water a moment, then drain. Add 1 chopped sweet pickle, 1 chopped onion, 1 diced cucumber soak- ed in French dressing, 3 sliced hard- cooked eggs, salt and pepper to taste. Toss together with salad dressing and chill. Serves 4. 10. If it's not too' late for fried chicken—there's nothing better in an open skillet. 11. Don't forget to put out the pic- nic fire by pouring on water and scrap- ing it aside, then pouring on more water. Trace any sparks and put out any smouldding smudge. 12.

Representing— From the middle of August until November, peony plants can be divid- ed. They should not be replanted in the same bed, however, but in entirely new soil. • After digging up the old peony plants, clean off the, soil with a stream of water from a hose so you can easily see where to make the div- iding cuts. Use a sharp knife, first removing any dead roots and shorten- ing those that are overly long, The tops of the clumps can also be cut back at this time. Each section of a divided peony clump should have a piece of root at- tached to a portion of the crown and two or more buds or "eyes", as shown in the accompanying Garden-Graph, When replanting the divided portion of the plant, the top of the crown should only be two inches below the soil surface, as illustrated. Peonies will grow in almost any soil, but prefer a rich clayloam which is friable, well drained, but also well wat- ered. They do not like .a too acid soil. Fertiliears must not come in con- tact with the roots for fear of burning PLANT TOP OF-CROWN 2 INCHES BELOW SOIL SURFACE RE,4 them, so in the upper 8 or 10 inches of soil where the roots will set, use rich loam mixed with humus and bone meal. To keep peony plants growing luxur- iantly year after year, they should have light applications of wood ashes worked into the soil each year plus feedings of plant food.

BIRDS HAVE A, PAST Most lovers of the out-of-doors. are ready to admit that birds are among nature's most beautiful creations, How , many of us, I wonder are aware that at one time in the history of the world, not so very long ago geologically speaking, the feathered creatures did not exist. In the Royal Ontario Mus- eum you may see, among the mural decorations representing prehistoric• landscapes, illustrations of the oldest birds. They appeared at first, as far as the fossil 'record shows, about the middle of the age of dinosaurs, which dates back over a hundred million years. Only three examples of these• ancient birds - have been discovered. They differ from modern birds very distinctly in that they possessed a full' set of teeth, This characteristic links them with the flying reptiles. The remains of the skeletons indicate that the bird was about the size of a full- grown crow. He is only anxious about the future will check their rates at once. Every to whom the present is unprofitable. are not available use sulphate of potash. oronuriate of potash, one handful to each plant, Peonies prefer full sun but grow well in light shade where the flower color is intensified and the blooms last long- er. They should not ibe planted too close to trees or shrubs where the stronger roots will rob 019 peony plants of necessary food and mois- ture. 4 116W ks:and DIFFERENT TIRE The -new B.F.
