r SPECIAL- DIETS FOR TIIE
UNDERNOURISHED CHILD.
A child may be undernourished
after an acute illness or operation, or
because of a tendency to tuberculosis.
He must have more calories per day
than the ribrmal child, for he needs
increased building and repair ma-
terial. But the diet cannot be Mamie
simply greater in quantity. The stom-
ach capacity remains the same and
often the child lacks a normal appe-
tite. So the extra calories must be
tucked in the same bulk of food.
On the other hand, the diet must
not be so concentrated, as to cause
constipation, for that in itself will
aggravate the lack pf appetite and
• general lower body...tone.
So 'add milk, eggs, butter, cream
and gelatine, wherever possible, to
make each dish more nutritious. Do
not increase sweets; they will make a
false gain in weight without nourish-
ing in the fundamental sense. Keep
the fruits and vegetables in good pro-
.
portion.

PLEASANT KITCHENS.
Color is an important matter -in the
kitchen. From a mistaken idea that
dull, dark colors make the work easier
by making less cleaning necessary, too
many kitchens are painted and paper-
ed in colois that depress and discour-
age the worker. This 'idea about the
value of color 'is not a fad but. an
•established and proved fact. Experi-
aTents with colors conducted upon our
returned soldier boys who are Suffer-
ing from shell shock are of the utmost
interest and importance to every busy
Country housewife,
Let the oolore in your Icitchera be
light and cheerful. In this respect,
ignore the prevailing fashion and have
what- yell like best. Yellow makes
sunshine and. cheer. Light blue is
cool. Silver gray is soothing. • One
farm woman gets the greatest satis-
faction frormher kitchen done over in
pink. "I've always loved pink," she
, tays, "but I've had to live long years
with drab and dark blue and dull
green. My pink 'kitchen makes me
think of apple blossoms andreties and
June moenings even in'Docember, , I
had the choice of decorating -the par-
lor or the kitchen, so „I chose the kit-
chen. And I had it pink," .
Youmay 'smile at the Idea of a
Pink kitchen. But if you could see
how it lightens the hard work of this
lover of rosinese you would realize
that her pleasure and satisfaction far
outweigh all the established preced-
ents in the world.—A. M. A.
