building process going on from birth

supplies. No wonder that, as they are
often reproying!v told, they eat more
than grown folks. They need TO eat
more, and much more, than the mother
or aunt who sits iii the chair sewing
most Of the day, or moves deliberately
about the house. They should be care
fully watched and taught IL the man
Her OF eating, chewing their food well
and choosing proper things. As for
quantity, ii Il child L;Ls plenty Oi fresh
air, and is cut Of doors at least three
hours q day, with proper fare set be

care of the quantity he eats. 1t is not
the amount they eat, it IS their YO-
Iacity which makes children'S feeding
at times q revolving sight. : mother
need not be alarmed 1T the hearty
feeder who calls for third helping of
beefSteak and potatoes; but, though
polite forms must be observed, SHE
win take the hint and make her two
helpingS sufficiently liberal i'll future.
Provided a child eats decOrOUSly and
neatly, without boiling its food or
flooding its plate with gravy, he can
be allowed 10 SAY when he has
enough. Yet there is no reason fuT
this last preference, as food for cllI!-
'lrcn, till ten years old or later, should !
be largely in Il liquid form, AMI the !
hard cIusts should not be passed or on
them, because little teeth are sharp, for |
little mouths are tender, AMI cankaT |
nav follow the irritation Ui the gums
produced by hard food.
EATING BETWEs.ES HizAI-s.
This bugbcar OF many prudent
mothers loses some OF its apprehension
in the light of the latest and best wis
dom which asserts that children ua- |
der u years Of age nccd to eat four |
times 4 day to supply the demands Of
their growing bodies. What seems Il !
NttSlllE. uOAllil ttltlsiLltts ttli SllC " aAAAt
clamOring between meals, is generally /
the craving for the needed fourth |
meal, which should be given at Il reg
Ular hour, and 50 pat an end to pro |
miscuous lunching. 1t is hetter for |
thehealth of any one TO eat often and |
eat less, and children would be far bet |
ter in strength and tempeTs if instead |
of burdening their stOmachS with three |
meals, which must be heavy ones TO |
supply nature, they took fOIr lighter
ones.
\ WORD FOR TIE GIRLS AND BOYS. !
The idea that four meals Il day arc
necessary for the young will he new TO |
most readers, hut experience shows |
the wise and kind physician who says
this i5quite in the right. No less an au- |
thOrity than Dr.. Thomas X. Chambers, |
in thenew Encyclopedia Britannica is ro- |
spOnSiblc for the advice that 'up to ut |
least Il or - years Of age the rule |
should be four meals 4 day all varied, |
all sufficient" which hardly seems to |
point to any lunch Of cookies and |
crackers as one of these TepaStS. The
same opinions are held by the best !
physicians here and abroad. Ii is GER |
tain that the delicate, thin-armed boys
and girls, exhausted with their grCwth, |
who fill our schools, would have their |
chances in life improve by tempting |
meal spread for them four times day, |
of the most nourishing kind, and sutfi-
cient rest from study and engrOsSing |
occupation allowed to give them time |
enough to give them an appetite for 1t. |
Study and use of the brain often |
sharDens appetite more than bodily eX- |
ercise. for the direct waste of nerves |
and blood is often far greater, a waste |
which requires the most stimulating |
and sustaining food to supply 1t. |
When a child at school begins to lose |
appetite, it is a sign the brain IS too
much worked TO leave proper strength |
to the stomach for digeStiOn-a state |
of things that must be stopped ut once, /
till they regain their balance. The |
weakness and langUor often seen IN /
growing girls and boys shows the want |
Of more supporting food, which shOuld |
be Just what would be given 4 fever
patient TO keep up his strength, brothS |
and soups, meat extracts, and oatmeal /
or wheaton gritS, with cooling fruit |
and Vegetables which fever would not |
allow. Nor should pudding and cake |
be left out, for young people need
sweets and flavor and variety, as, for
that matter, does every son and daugh- |
ter Of Adam who eats at all.
GOOD LIVING.
You neeI not consider il a sign of
depraved taste or Gcsire to eIt for the
sake of eating il a CHILD refuses to eat |
plain bread, and asks for cake or con-
fectiOnery. Sugar makes fat, and FAT |
is the reserve which nature draws up-I
on for strength and growth. Sugar |
creates heat as well as flesh, and there |.
are few things more HqtLti0uS for
healthy digestion than the sweets, |
whether honey, or syrups, TIw sugar,
maple sugar, or pure candies and pre-
serves. The Old fashioned preserves.
which were the Juice of fruits thick |
Cncd with sugar, We're one Of the most /
acceptable forms OF uOurishment, fur
niShinS The grated flavor or fruit with |
the purest sweet, and the gum Of sugar |
which thickens the syrup. They are d |
concentrated form Of nutrition which |
does not allow of eating in quantities, |
but the cid ide;r that sugar and sweets |
were uHWhOlcsOme is absurd. SO with |
spices and seasoning, which a lidgety |
order OF dietists pronounce 't0O rich"
