A rn y The- hand pictured above shows the foods which a child needs for proper growth. The hand calls for "bread, butter and more milk," and the thumb, "milk—at least a pint a day.", The other fingers call for vegetables, such as potatoes, spinach, peas, string, beans, celery, beets, carrots, cabbage' and turnips; such fruit as oranges, apples, raisins and prunes; cereals including oatmeal, rice, wheat and cornmeal; eggs, fish and meat. Menus' founded upon this "food hand" will; not go far wrong when it conies to fulfilling the requirements of a child for proper growth and maintenance, "An egg a day" should be the slo- gan for all young people. The egg - yolk contains about thirty-five 'per cent fat, which in turn contains growth -producing substances, called "witamines." Foods containing these vitamines are absolutely essential for growing children. - Eggs, milk and leafy vegetables are sometimes known as protective foods, because they correct and make up for the inadequate composition of seeds and tubers. Young animals fed on wheat, oats, barley, or other seeds exclusively fail to grow, because these foods do not contain growth -produc- ing elements. The price of eggs should not pre- vent their frequent use in many forms. If the child does not care for poached or boiled eggs and refuses to eat them, they may be served in omelets, custards, souffles, puddings; and drinks. The taste of the egg will I be disguised without losing its nour- ishing and beneficial properties. The Farmer and Good Roads I Who in the world is more Interest- ed in good toads than the farmer? He is the one who uses the roads in his bustuess year in and year out. Roads are to the farmer what street care are to the worker in the oity—it makes his business possible. Good roads im- y,oGB his chances of sueeess, while poor roads hold him back. Paved street:; are no more valuable to the eity than paved roads to the country, but the city has recog.iized their value 'while the farmers lave just begun to comprehend it. I know that there Is not a single oommuii:,;.' that cannot Quickly disoover some h .ttAAteble "Pau*! '* ' ,,.,ac 'bad roads have caused.

It is only in exceptionally large and modern hones that it is possible to set aside a room for the use of the sick. The first thing to do in the prepara- tion of the ailing one's room is to eliminate. Make less work for your- self and less annoyance for the pati- ent by removing all rugs, curtains and draperies. The less you have of these the cleaner you can keep the room. Take away all unneeded furni- ture. Then clean the room. Scrub the floor, use lots of soap and water. Don't believe that old gossip's tale that washing the floor may give a pa- tient a "cold." The patient is not lying on the floor. And as every one knows, a good scrubber always dries her floor as she goes. Do not overlook the gift of good fresh air. Let in all the sunlight and fresh air you can through the door and the windows. If possible, lower your windows from the tap. The room should be ventilated night and day. In cold weather, to avoid draughts, lower the window from the top, or move the bed, carefully, so the patient will not be exposed to a wave of freezing air. It is a very necessary thing to renew the air in the room at least once a day, by air- ing it thoroughly. To do this, first cover the patient warmly, leaving only the face ex- posed. Open wide all doors and win- dows in and near the sick room, Tell the patient to fill his lungs full of a big expense. If the farmers would . just keep an accurate account of all the actual Dost to them from bad roads, counting the extra horse and man power, extra time consumed, and loss from reduced prices, delayed work, depreciation of products because of delays, and every other cost that the roads cause directly they would soon realize that bad roads are most awfully expenslve. Surely they are not pleasant! The time was when farmers declar- ed the road campaigns were all in fa - ver of the automobilists, the meat of rho faemee:.

She looked warm and tired and even a little old, but she smiled bravely at Pen. Some- how the alight fretted Pen. "0 mother! I wish you wouldn't fuss over my things on a day like this!" she cried impatiently. "But there was a grease spot—you couldn't go like that. What is it, dear?"

One hube deed and sixty out of thirteen ]tune died! Most of these are already 011 the road again, but a few still remain in the "hospital" at Pentonville. They certainly need "doctoring." Some of these have been one:duty since November, 1914; in fact, three hundred were commandeered by the Navy two days before war broke out. They were used els ambulance cars in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and pretty well everywhere else, Others have been used as travelling pigeon-lotts. Bat- tered attered and bent, with tyres worn down to the rims and steps flapping, these old warriors are now taking their rest in'the convalescent ward at Pentane vide, or, repainted and done up, are egalu running on their old mutes, One of these splendid old 'buses took the road the other day, and seem• ed to enjoy the feeling of being back in the old familiar haunts once more.
