The old theory that sugar is de-
leterious for children is now explod-
ed, the latest dictum of food spe-
cialists being that 1t is food especi-
ally adapted to children, because of
their great activity, says an ex-
change. The amount of sugar to be
given and the form In which 1t is to
be supplied are still questions of
much Importance. Until child
reaches its second year the natural
sugar In the milk supplies all that is
necessary, but after that sweets of a
wholesome nature eaten at regular,
meals are considered beneficial. Most
people still agree that sugar should
not be used with the breakfast mush
or porridge or wheat or oatmeal, but
is better furnished In simple pud-i
dings, custards, cookies, loaf sugar
or home made candy. Sweet fruits,
such as figs and dates are exceeding
ly wholesome and should be freely
furnished.

The poor and unfortunate people of
Akron are pop sure that o. C. Barber

Because last week he provided the

every city in the land had man like
