Feed Children-, Regular1_"v
And Only At Meal -Times
soy Good eating .habits have ni`ttch to
do with health, and such habits are
, of the greatest importance during
the years' - of childhood, • when . the.
body is growing rapidly. In add.
tion to knowing what to feed the child
we need also tp know how to ';feed
him.
Regularity in feeding is desirable.
.This means that the proper foods,
having been- selected and prepared
are to be served to the child at
regular meal -times.
If a child is to enjoy his 'meals, hi
should come to ,the table hungry and
ready to'eat what 'is set before him
The child who is given food between
meals is not hungry at meal -time•
he is not interested -in his food and
so will likely refuse to eat.
The child who is both hungry am
rested enjoys his meals. No one
child' or adult, desires food when
tired. iOhi'ldren -should have a shor
peri+od'; of rest 'before going to their
meals,.
-Children are not all alike, nor do
they feel just the same day after

err some days than on others. It i'

she knew, not that it was Jesus. Sup-
posing him, in her grief and confus-

body she sought, she would gladly
have it removed. 'When He spoke 'the

Mary had remained beside the tomb,
t ill the trumpet of the Passover -Sab-
bath and the gathering darkness had
.warned them;"ter retire. They rested
t he Sabbath! day, according, to the
commandment, in the saddest, dark-
est grief that ever oppressed the hu-
man heart; for they had not. 'only
lost the dearest• object of their af-
fection, under the 'most harrowing
circumstances, but their hopes that
this was the Messiah seemed to have
been rudely shattered. But how ten-
acious is human love, especially the
love of women! So, when the Sab-
bath "was over (after sundown on
Saturday) they stole out to purchase
additional sweet spices, which they
prepared that night in order to com-
plete the embalming of the body,
which had been left incomplete on
the day of crucifixion. They would
probably sleep outside the city gates
which only opened at daybreak, be-
cause they were resolved to reach the
sepulchre while it was yet dark.
and saw that it was empty. ,After
a time they went away again toy
their own j!iome, but Mary Stood
without at the door of- the sepulchre
weeping, and as she wept she stoop-
ed down, and looked into the sepul-•
chre. The two sentry -angels who sat
the one at the head and the other at
the feet, where the ,body of ,!esus
had lain, sought in vain to coimfert l
her. "Woman," they said, in effect,
"there is no need for tears; didst
thou but know, couldst thou but un-
derstand, thy heart would overflow.
with supreme joy and thy tears be-
come smiles." "They have taken a-
way my Lord," she ,said, "and I•
know. not where they. have laid Him."
What could angel voices do for- her,
who longed to hear „one voice only?
What were the griefs ofothers in
comparison with hers? In an espec-
ial sense Jesus was hers! My Lord!
Had He not cast out from her seven
devils?' '

But before they could arrive the
sublime event had occurred, which has
filled the world with light and joy in,!
all succeeding years. The women,
meanwhile, were hurrying to the
grave, debating as they did so, how
they would be able to roll away, the
stone from its :'mouth. Probably they
had heard nothing of the seals •and
sentries with which the Sanhedrim
had endeavored to guard against all
eventualities; for, had they known.
they would hardly have ventured to
come at all. They were greatly start-
led, however, when, on approaching
the grave, they saw that the' stone
was rolled away. Mary of Iliagdala,
apparently detected this • first, and
without staying to cec further, start-
ed off to tell the disciples. Peter
and John hastened to the sepulchre
That same. evening He appeared to

of the morning would arouse against
them the strong hate and fear of the

in the midst of them, with the fam-
iliar greeting of peace,—;"Peace be
unto you."

As long as a child is healthy and
is gaining steadily 'in'" weight,- his
mother does not need to worry if he
does not eat as much as her friend's
child. She should not feel concerned
if he does not eat his full allowance
every day.
Adults must remember that chil-
dren imitate them. A child's dislike
for some food can often be traced to
some adult who has, by word or ac-
tion, shown that he or she "dislikes
that particular food. If the mother
and fatter do not eat certain foods,
or if they show their dislike for
some particular food, they set an ex
ample that the erald will very likely
follow.
• Children demand attention, and
the meal -time gives the child an ex-
cellent opportunity to attract atten-
tion to himself. If the parent is
fussy, ,or scolds when the child does
not eat, all the child has to do is to
•-efuse to eat and he gets the atten-
rion he loves. That is one reason
why it is better for the young child
to eat alone, or with other children
and not with adults.

black, sooty, greasy ashes and a bad
smell, and one is sur rijsed 'that . the

Mr. Krook, the Bleak House junk-
man, went to glory that way, and an
ingenious J. •Delancey Ferguson has a
whole catalogue of such deaths in
an article of his in The Colophon.
The dear 'mother of Captain Marry -

bed. I -put my hand fearfully upon
it—it was a sort of unctuous, pitchy
cinder. I screamed • with horror."
Jacob, no less faithful son than faith-

reader may be in some doubt as to
the cause of my mother's death, I
must inform him that she perished
in that very peculiar -and dreadful

How the Old Boys
Bumped Victims Off
Refined and sensitive folk must
have been pained to read a column
under the head, "What Are Essen-
tials of Good Detective Story:" giv-
en over so largely to a catalogue of
the various kinds of detective story
killings. Detective stories are not
worth the labors of your pen. As a
matter of plain fact the. -gentle art
of killing is decadent. Our fathers
were 'better at it, and the score of
horrible examples you select for the
edification of your readers are ...an.
insipid lot. !Modern-fietion• in this
line is not doing its duty to civiliza-
tion. and something ought to be done
about it, say the organization of a
Society for Bigger and Better Bump-
ing. We need more sweetness and
light in planning our murders. It is
undeniable that even the mildest and
most inoffensive man (even .the. man
whose picture appears in the ear-
toons as The IPu'blic) knows two or
three people he' would dearly love to
murder, were he confitent of a meth-
od and sure of the' technique. Bold,
bad men of high choler -had literally
scores of such potential victims. But
nobody lends a kindlye,helpful Word
of advice and the victintilreei"•un, eti-

hang. In that .way half the po la1a-
tion of Canada is 'being flouted by
the other half. .
Even the mildest and most ,,inof-
fensive man—J. M. Barrie—once ac-
tually resolved to kill a critic. 'meat
is to say, a man who bears the same
relationship to literature that you do
to a detective story. He invited the
man to dinner, intending to slip a bit
of arsenic in hie tea. But just as the
tea was served Barrie had a eecond
thought. "Row much. better," he
mused as he passed the mins, "to
twist his neck, :scarf about his neck
as lie stands in the hall ready to go
home." There were two points to
that—no muss or fuss in the dining-
rooin, and no interruption of a pleas-
ant 'chat. Then same the hall; -the
neck was ready and the scarf Was
around it, Five seconds more and a
critic will be gasping for breath; in
three minutes and forty'seconds more
`the reaper: will have gathered in a
critic ripe for the harvest. Again
Barrie mused, '1Idw much, 'better," he
said quietly to the very famous
author of "A' Window ie Thrums;" to
pull it off outside. Ha! as thebus

"black art" of making gold.
He came to Berlin to serve as an
apothecary's apprentice, and. nis of
