Running Children's Digestion.


Ii is AT once surprising and infinitely lri-
tating that thoughtless people will persist in
offering to children at all times and seasons
all kinds of things to eat. People who have
had occasion to take their children in the
cars must remember how constantly they
have been annoyed by strangers who were
more generous than judicio,ls and who be-
slowed upon the little folk fruit or cakes or
candy, to the great damage of the patience
of the parents and the detriInent of the di-
,.estion of the children.
T!len there are those innumerablc inli-
vluuls. for the most part kind hearted old
ladies with whom it would be impossible to
demonstrate, whose single idea of entertain
ii- children is to cram them with iniigesti-
blcS. and II visit to them is as naturally fol-
lowed by u collie apiece for tho children as
u lady's letter is supplemented by post
script. Mothers take their flock to pay visits
of duty to these we'll meaning old danes
with the Same feeling they would have in
leading pct lambs to the slaughter, feeling
that il must be done, but inwar,lly raging at
the fate that so cruel II necessity is laid upon
them.
In these and score of other eases which
will occur to anybody, the entire dietary sys-
ten of the family is thrown into confusion
because some 1h"ughtlcss person is selfish
enough to crafty an impulse to please him
self or herself by feeding children much on
The same principle as children feed monkeys
People who fnttcr themselves that they are
artuated by Kindness ar" far more likely than
Not to be dccciving themselves Parents dis

pleasant to face the comments of the would

Judgment of the parents They say at once:
"Ol, it can't hurt the child" or something
of the sort, sentiment which easily appeals
to the minds of Tie little "nes, with the
lainties before their eyes. 1t is idl.. to hope
that this race of injudicious nuiSanccs will
vanish, and the only thing possible is to meet
them with resplute front. They must be
