WHY WON'T HE EAT IT?
Mothers can easily understand why
their children should have milk, cer-
eals, vegetables, fruits and other
wholesome foods. Se far as the child
is concerned, sometimes this is easier
said than done: for many mothers ask
the question—
"How can I teach my child to eat
and to like wholesome foods?"
This is a question that cannot be
answered off hand, First of all, let
us consider how we have formed our
own• food habits.
Two people may eat the same food
'and one of them pronounce it "poison-
ous," the other "delicious." Both of
these persons presumably have the
same sort of taste organs and the
same sensation is doubtless carried to
the brain of each. Yet the sensation
is pleasant to one person and disagree-
able to the other. How can it be?
The difference lies not in the food,
not in the taste organs but in the way
each person thinks about it. It takes
a psychologist to explain these differ-
ent mental attitudes but any observ-
ing person soon realizes that we like,
in general, those foods to which we
have been accustomed from our early
years. The Chinese like rice and the
Italians like macaroni because they
are accustomed to these foods, not be-
cause of any inherited partiality, An
Italian baby brought up in a Chinese
family would doubtless arrow as fond
of rice as a Chinese baby would of
macaroni if brought up in an Italian
home:
A child is born without habits but
begins to develop thorn at a very early
age. As new foods are added to the
diet of the child, give small amounts
at first to accustom the child to the
new flavor. Then gradually increase
the amounts and the variety as the
powers of taste are developed. The
young child will become accustomed
to new, and wholesome foods so that
by the time he is two years old he
will have learned to like cereals, mills,
eggs, potatoes, bacon and a variety of
vegetables.
Not only do we like foods to which
we have grown accustomed by long ex-
perience,
xperience, but we easily acquire likes
or dislikes by imitation, conscious or
unconscious, of those whom we ad-
mire. This is true especially of a
child'simitation of a parent. If par-
ents set a good example of eating and
liking all wholesome foods, the chil-
dren will unconsciously imitate them.
As one little girl said:
"At home we don't talk about por-
ridge. We eat it"
Anything in the nature of a luxury
is always enticing. It is human na-
ture to desire a thing which others

ed to have learned to like spinach was
asked to tell how she did it.
"Oh," she explained, "father and'
mother and sister all ate it and seem-
ed to like it so much I thought I must
be missing something. So I began to
eat it too, and after a while I liked it."
Be sure that foods are good if you'
expect them to be liked. Persistent
practice will teach a child to like a1 -
most ,any flavor, but the problem is'
much more simple if foods are palat

A child who refuses all food is prob-

Who Invented the Motorcar?
The history of the motorcar begins
exactly 230 years ago, when Street,
an English inventor, made the first
use of oil as a motive power. But it
was not until 1870 that a really prac-
tical petrol engine appeared. This
was the work of Julius Hock, of Vien
na.
The next name connected with the
progress of the motorcar is the most
important of all—that of Gottlieb
Daimler. In 1883 Daimler made the
first- small, high-speed petrol engine,
' for all those which had gone before
bad been huge, clumsy, and slow•mov-
' ing machines. Two years later he in.
stalled his engine in a motor -bicycle
and at the salve time fitted hoate with
motors and ran them at Paris during
an exhibition there.
The boats attracted the attention of
I Levassor, another famous pioneer,
l who at once saw the,immense possi-
i,bilities in Daimler's invention,
Ibought the French patents from the
inventor. Levassor invented a sys-
tem of transmission—that is, a meth-•
od of bringing the power from -the en
gine to the wheels—and with a few
small improvements' this system ie in
use to -day.
