Hard Food For Children.

The great Importance of giving chill
dren their starchy food in form COM
polling adequate mastication was SET
forth in a paper read before the Brit
ish Royal Institute of Public Health.
Not only are digestive disturbances
occasioned by soft food. but the max
Hilary apparatus not being exercised
adequately does not develop properly,
neither do the nasal passages nor the
.nasopharynx. The teeth are apt to be
irregular and to decay early. and the
child become the victim Of adenoids.
That the latter is a dietic- disease the
writer of the paper has no doubt. he
advised that hard, solid foods should
be given at the age Of seven months,
when the infant should be allowed to
gnaw at chop bones and chicken
bones and to eat hard, leathery crusts,
biscuits, sugar cane and certain fruits.
In this way the child learns to masti-
cate by instinct, and not till then
should a limited quantity Of softer
farinaceous foods be permitted.
Throughout childhood the bulk OF the
starchy foods should be in the form
which would compel mastication.-

Planting q CITY,

DR.. Heinrich G. Leonhardt, of TOna-
wanda, recently supplied almost the
whole city with young trees, says
Country Life in America. At dinner
which he attended he heard the sug-
gestion made that the city needed
shade trees. Immediately he bought
thousands of young elm, maple and
chestnut trees, and as soon as 1t was
possible had them shipped to Tona-
wanda and stored in nursery there.
Then he announced that all who would
might have trees by applying at the
nursery. The effect was wonderful
Streets that never would have had
trees were soon filed with flourishing
young saplings that in twenty years
will be priceless-a magnificent monu-
ment to one man. Two thousand OF
the trees were distributed in an in
credibly short time. There was more
tree planting in Tonawanda this spring
than ever before. The only condition
attached to the offer was that persons
taking trees should guarantee to plant
them for shade purposes and to plant
them in accordance with directions
given at the nursery Worlds Work.

1T is also gratifying to note that pend

are less numerous, a higher scale was
adopted at glass factories and the at
tractive wages paid to harvest hands
have reduced the ranks of the unemploy-

Home Health
| Club
Iy DavidH. Reeder, Ph.D., MD.

During the hot summer months there
are frequently days when one feels
as though rest was out of the question.
Although one may not be doing extra
work, in fact, not as much as is ordi-
narily done, yet rest seems far away.
The very atmosphere appears to make
one tired, whether standing, sitting or
lying down. Nothing seems to give
rest or refreshment.
A number of years ago ! was, one
hot summer day, having just such an
experience in Providence, r. /. Walk
ing down Westminster street met an
old gentleman whom I knew quite
well, and he appeared so cool and
bright and comfortable that l felt 1t
would be a relief just to stop and chat
with him. made some complaint
about the depressing effects of the
heat, and he at once asked me to so
with him to one of the little restaurants
for which Providence is famous. l
protested that was not hungry, as
1t was only II o'clock, but he said:
Hungry? No, of course you are not
for ordinary food, but your nerves and
blood are hungry for a kind Of foed
which but few people know how to
supply" Hoping to learn something
and get rest and comfort, if possible,
l went gladly.
"Give DR.. Reeder glass of my COM
pound double extract of YOUTH" was
the order he gave, and / watched with
interest while the waiter took from a
large sack a quart of common wheat
bran. Into this he poured ice water,
all it would hold. He then waited upon
another customer, being gone about
five minutes. My friend in the mean
time had been chatting pleasantly. At
last he saw me look rather anxiously
toward the waiter, and remarked:
"Don't be in hurry; you will find my
double extract much better if it is not
made in hurry"
Presently the waiter returned and
strained the water out of the bran and
then proceeded to make couple. of
glasses of lemonade out Of the water,
which looked creamy white. 1t
semeed to me that had never par
taken of anything quite so delicious.
We slipped it slowly, and every drop
seemed to be doing its duty. In half
an hour the tired feeling had vanished,
and I felt as fresh and vigorous as l
usually felt when the temperature was
fifteen or twenty degrees lower.
A couple of hours later I was sur
prised to note that my usual lunch
time was past and that 1 felt no de-
sire for food. About 2 o'clock went
to the little restaurant and called for
another compound double extract"
with equally satisfactory results. Nat
ural hunger came about 6 o'clock, and i
went home to good dinner with the keen
appetite of health. Many times since
then I have recommended this cool
ing, strengthening, delicious drink for
invalids, for brain workers, for rheu-
matism and as a substitute for the
noon meal in obesity, with perfectly
satisfactory results. 1t is easy to
make, and as cooling, strengthening
drink for men who are working in the
harvest field it is far superior to plain
lemonade or water. 1t is also an ex-
cellent drink for nursing mothers, al
though there should be less Of the
lemon used. Children can use it freely.
