 srhars are many parents who seem to .sa no realizing sense whatever ot the
 nay diet for children. They give sss',, ssp whatever they happen to have at sa s''s' or what is much to the same pur- 1s. anvthing they cry for. The infant sssF#aIity of the country IS something asfhl A when one considers 1t. Hundreds aastae, .ka,eands of children die every year, of them from the effects of lnju- sinious feeding alone,
 I n hot weather children should be
 zMafnilv M watched and never permitted Y v souch articles of food that are at all
 'o sstionable A little perfectly ripe VI either with little gruel or other .. ssesble diet should be given. If sss.s. ss.ss io at ali delicate or the digestion
 , ,s.,s to be at fault, cooked fruit may sss ,s a;yen This is eminently safe and al
 nsss ss ralishable. Use as little sugar as ,asy s he in order to render the sauce pal ,s,s a.sbIe and carefully select the kind to
 ' aiven. Cooked strawberries and saasE berries. with the seeds strained sat are excellent and may be eaten s,asly & Raspbelries are usually safe to a;ya without cooking, provided they are ss.saotiv ripe and thoroughly washed Ts,r acid fruits are not to be given to sa,,,,p children. The reason for this is |sbat being largely on a milk diet, the ae;a in the fruit makes thick, tough s,ra in the stomach which, ill many eases it is impossible to digest. Oranges aisaaree with a great many persons, and Although they are almost universal ly Recommended for children the utmost eara should he observed as to whether rbas disagree, for there is probably no firm of indigestion so distressing as fhat produced by oranges. Pineapple bas nuon some persons a somewhat simi- Iar sffect, only usually less severe.
 There are many persons who are op= no4ad to the use of meats, especially i'll Ri weather. It is, however, safe to say that properly made soups and small |his of well cooked meat cut into tiny sheds and thoroughly masricated can do no harm to delicate children and | often produce the happiest results
 There is in many vegetables an ele-
 ment that, ill itself harmless when 1t exists ill the digestive organs i'll any ouantity yet furnishes nutriment for a deadly germ. This germ will not flourish unless this substance is present. yepetables of various sorts are special | ly Productive of this element; therefore fhe best authorities on cholera and kin | drea diseases have found it necessary to restrict the use of certain vegetables i'll extremely hot weather. Whatever is 0iven however, must be thoroughly cooked and should be kept as complete l " Excluded from outside air IS possible. | If children are feyerish, cross and pn- manageable, it Is well to try diet of gluten bread and carefully prepared broth or soup. The meat should be per | feefIy fresh and cooked long time. Vegetables may be added, but should be drained out before the soup is served. Milk if there is any doubt about it
 whatever, should be sterilized before
 asing All utensils used for cooking ehiidren's food ought to receive the
 most rigid inspection, and no question should be allowed as to their perfect
 eleanliness. Few people realize that a dish of milk standing in tainted ice. box may in few hours collect disease
 germs enough to poison an entire family, and, while the robust consultations of
 adnlts may be able to resist the poison,
 delleate children suecAmb to it. It is not necessary that child's diet
 he extremely varied It is much better
 torestriot it during the hot season to
 certain articles that are known to be
 easy of digestion and to make dietetic
 sxperiments at other seasons of the year,
 T they are made at all.-New York
