MOTHERS should remember that it is
easier to keep children in good health than
il is to cure them after they become ill. A
few simple rules, faithfully carried out,
would Danish much of the sickness among
children. :, They should have plenty of
healthfuI and palatable food, but only at
regular hours. Small children might have
slice of bread and butter, or an apple,
half way between meals, but almost "con-
slant nibbling" does much harm. Never
force child to eat anything it has posi-
clined because of tempting dessert ahead,
il is different matter.

Wheat Crop

A writer IN the Chicago Herald es-
liInat,s the wheat crop of France at
100000 bushels short Of last year,
and that of the United Kingdom at
$4,000, 900 bushels short of last year
and that these countries will require
foreign wheat to the quantity Of over
20O,OO0000 bushels or 40,OO0,OOO
more than the American and Rus
ian surplus. Austria-HuDgary, In
dia, Australia and the countries OF
the upper Mediterranean will have a
surplus of about 90,000,00O bushel,
but Germany, Holland, Belgium,
Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal,
Greece, Denmark, Norway, and
Sweden. in Europe, and the West
Indies, Brazil and China will require
about 100000 TO supply their de-
mand. These importing countries
must buy about 325,000,00O bushels,
and the surplus of the exporting
countries for the present crop year is
but 243 100000 bushels. If these fig
ures are correct, wheat is sure to adj
vance in the markets of the world be-
| fore many months.
