Youngsters are Always Pining --Careful Diet
is the Solution in Many Cases
frig attention everywhere from physi-
cians, nurses, and others interested in
child welfare, in fact in some up-to-
date schools milk is served every day
to all the children,
In fruits only strained juice 'should
be given at two years, there well stew-
ed fruit can be added, then gradually
accustom him to the raw fruits per-
fectly ripe and fresh with skin and
seeds removed.
Vegetables should be cooked and.
mashed as a rule.
Eggs are very good for children,
especially the yolk, but if eggs cannot
be given, oatmeal and other whole
grains with green vegetables may take
their place.
If lots of milk and one egg a day
is given a child does not need neat
until seven years old. Meat is a stim-
ulant which the child does not need.
Itis valuable because it requires
chewing, btrt stale bread will answer
the same purpose, encouraging masti-
cation.
A ^ew Rules for the Normal Child
Sometimes we will see a bright,
healthy looking, happy baby given all
kinds of things to eat just as soon as
he cane put out his baby bands for it,
then as time passes the family won-
ders why Jimmie isn't getting along
so well. His tender healthy little
stomach has been asked to do too
much and his growing body is made
up of just what food he eats.
Pattee, the noted dietitian, says a
child should have in the second year
and on through the growing period one
quart of milk each day and never less
than one pint. Milk is easy to digest
and has all the ingredients necessary
for growth. He loves Ms well cooked
cereals and laughs and smacks his
lips when he gets his two or three
tablespoons of strained fruit juice be-
tween. meals. So often little children
are not given enough water. Milk
does not take the place .of water.
When bread is given it should not
be too fresh, in fact stale bread should
be given, for it' encourages mastica-
tion and a good way to start a child
to grow fond of vegetables is to add
a little of it mashed in his milk to
acquire the taste.
As the child grows, milk should be
continued in cream soups, puddings,
junket, homemade ice cream, custards,
milk toast. Children enjoy cereals for
supper as well as for breakfast and to
the child who dislikes milk as a drink
it can be disguised by cooking the
cereals in. milk as stated above.
Children 5-6-7 should have three full
meals with light lunch of Milk and
crackers or a slice of bread and but-
ter after school; cookies, chocolates,
etc., should not be encouraged for it

and destroys his appetite when meal
time arrives.

Article 9
Sometiines we see among our school
'children a round-faced good natured
school girl or boy who is wrapped :in
rolls and rolls of , fat. Of course his
nickname is "Fatty." He tries to ap-
pear as though he doesn't mind his
name even• though each time he is
hailed it is a reminder of his avoir-
dupois. He is generally easy to get
along with and no one realizes that
self-consciousness, fear and the in-
feriority complex lurk behind that ap-
parent placidity. True there is oue
fat boy who cherishes and guards his
plumpness for it brings him a good
big salary—" `Fatty' in Our Gang
Comedy." No doubt he thinks his fat
is worth all the discomfort and ridi-
cule leo receives. But "Fatty" will
grow determined some day when he
outgrows being a, boy and decide to
reduce just as Freckles will seek to
remove his complexion hindrance to
good looks. However when fat has
been one's companion since childhood
great care must be taken when reduc-
ing for the excessive fat has produced
lack of resistance and has impaired
vitality.
A. little overweight in children need
not worry the parent for it shows that
they have good digestion. Fat is also
an excellent protection forthe nerves
-and it provides storage for heat and
energy. Some surplus weight is often
advantageous until the body has
ceased growing but the markedly over-
weight child who is the subject of this
article is miserable.
Taken in easy stages the child can
safely reduce if all the elements of
food for health and growth are main-
tained. Milk and milk products are
very essential to the growing child
and for the overweight child skimmed
milk is to be prepared because the
cream removed. is only the fat taken
out. Of this skim milk at least one
pint should be taken daily, especially
while the child is reducing, and can
• be prepared in. many ways. If he does
not like ib. for drinking it can be put
in. puddings; also boiled in. with
cereals instead of using water. In
this way the taste 'is not detected. Re-
duce the quantity of potatoes, white
bread, butter sauces, lean meats, fish
and fowl but it is to be remembered
all these things are necessary for
growth so do not dispense with then
by any means. Fruit and vegetables,
especially the vegetables, cooked well
and mashed for the very young make
the best main diet next to milk.
We often and usually find that the
fat child loves candy. Candy between
meals encourages over -eating. Child-
ren whose parents allow them to eat
much. candy between meals, to have
meals when they like and who are en-
couraged
icouragecl to overeat the things they
fancy, are going to have a hard time
sometime. When grown they will not
have the same chance as the child who
. is taught self-control, regular eating
habits and wise selection of foods.
Give the little chap or girlie his candy
for desert for awhile who has had an
unlimited supply and teach him self
control, with regular eating habits and
he will learn to be master of his fate
and captain of.,ehis stomach. Bad
habits are always hard to break, ex -

Cold Gas Well May
Prove to be Helium
Lesson Snyder, Tex.—An analysis of the
powerful substance which for several
months has been flowing from an 1,800
foot well near here is to be made. It
is now believed that this cold gas, is
pure helium and that it may be of
great commercial value, The gas
comes from a hole with a pressure of
150 pounds to the square inch. It was
piped into a boiler and used to operate
well -drilling rigs and for other indus-
trial purposes.
Another interesting feature is that
the gas is so cold that it is used to
refrigerate fruits and vegetables. It
has attracted widespread attention
among geologists, but none of them.

L THE HEART or A MOTHER, Luke 2:
15-19.
The stories told us in the first chap-
ter of the Gospels of Matthew and
Luke, regarding the birth and infancy
of Jesus, the visit of the wise men, the
vision of the shepherds, the scenes in
the temple, and the flight to Egypt,
reveal to us something of the wonder,
the mystery, and the high hopes which
gathered about the new-born child.
Another story of his early boyhood
and first visit to Jerusalem with his
Parents (Luke 2: 41-51) makes a sim-
ilar impression. This wt s no ordinary
child; to a true mother what little
cl.iid ever is? Mary might have been
pardoned if she had magnified in mem-
ory some of the things which had been
said and done regarding him. She
"kept all these sayings -pondering
them in her heart," vs. 19, 51. What
a treasure house the heart of a -mother
is! Even the commonplaces of child
life add to her golden store. and each
new or mind
has for he wakening beauty b yond faculty of compare.

It was the last dreed scene on. Cal-
vary. "Standing by the cross" were
four sorrowing women, the mother of
Jesus, her sister, who was Salome,
mother of John and James the sons of
Zebedee, Mary the wife of Clopas who
was probably "the other Mary" spoken
of in Matthew 27: 56, 61, and 28: 1,
and Mary Magdalene. John his be-
loved disciple and friend was with
them and to him Jesus commended the
care of his mother. What the circum-
stances were we do not know. It must
have been that at that time none of
her own sons was in a position to as-
sure that responsibility. It was na-
tural, therefore, that his nephew, her
sister's son, should care for. her. Jesus
would, in his last thought for her,

In midst of the long
Wise Counsel
Keep good company or none. Never
be idle. If your hands cannot be
usefully employed, attend to the cul-
tivation of your mind. Always speak
the truth. Make few promises. Live
up to your engagements. Keep your
own secrets if you have auy. When
you speak to a person, look him in
the face. Good company and good
conversation are the very sinews of
virtue. Good character is above all
things else. Your character cannot
be essentially injured except by your
own acts. If auy one speaks i11 of
you, let your life be so that none will
believe him. Ever live, misfortune
excepted, within your income. When
you retire to bed, think over what
you have been doing during the day.
Make no haste to be rich if you would
prosper. Small and steady gains
give competency with tranquility of
. mind. Avoid temptation, through
fear that you may not withstand it,
Earn money before you spend it.
Never ruga in debt, unless you see a
way to get out again. Never bor-
row if you can possibly avoid it. Do
not marry until you are able to sup-
port a wife. Never speak ill of any-
one.

Language in Russia
In spite of the rapidly increasing
Popularity of the English language
in educational and industrial circles
in the Soviet Union, German is still
first choice among students of foreign
tongues, according to an item from
Moscow printed• in the Vossische
Zeitung of Berlin. In the year 1928
the Soviet State Publishing Company
put out 444,000 textbooks in German,
of which 383,892 were used. The
number of English text books issued
in the same year was 27,000, while
textbooks in French totaled 25,000, of
which but 9,545 were used.
The shady collector was showing
his antiques to a man who knew him
pretty well, and he said: "I have seri-
ous thoughts of disposing of all these
valuable curios. But how much do
you think I should get for thein?" "I
can't quite say," replied the other;
"but I should think about three years."
