AN EARLY pE0EsTRIAN CRAZE

MiddIe-aged citizens can easily recall the pedestrian craze that swept the country in the '70s and early sos of the last century. Even then Edward Payson Weston was regarded as ven -erabIe among the "peds''-quite a grandfather to professional walkers. as it were 'Old Sport" Campana, who died the other day. never seemed to carry such a weight of years as MT. Weston who now turns up in his 69th year and astOnishes every one by walking from Philadelphia city hall to New York City hall a distance of % miles in less than twenty-four hours. In the old days it was always said of Weston that he took the best of care of himself. and now there cannot be the slightest doubt of it.

James B. Reynolds, of Boston. has been assistant secretary of the United States treasury for fifteen months. and in that time has signed his name some where close to 100000 times. His sig nature is of a rather fanciful charac- ter, and consequently he uses ink by the gallon. As a rule he uses up three pens in a day. During a hot spell of weather at one time 12,OOO Indian war rants came in. They had to be signed. The other assistant secretaries were on their vacations, and Jimmie signed them. the whole 12,0O0

TIE BOYS CAME BACK
 WITHOUT A SCRATCH
They Won the Praise of War Experts
 at Camp Aabry.

The Arizona citizen soldiers are back in Arizona after trip to Austin, Texas, where they were for a week in encampment at Camp Mabry with the regular troops. The battalion of the Arizona national guard was singularly fortunate during the trip and all of the men returned without serious miShap. They, too, came in for a large part of the praise given by the commanding officers to the national guardsmen. Just as the train was leaving Austin the following letter was given to Major F. NJ, Lamson, commanding the battalion:
 Headquarters First Brigade, Maneuver Division, Camp of Instruc-
 tion, near Austin. Texas,
 August II. 1906. T The Commanding Officers, Battalion
 First Infantry, Arizona National
 Guard:
 Sir: The brigade commander desires to convey to the battalion Arizona na- tional guard, his high appreciation of the exceptionally soldierly manner in which they have performed the duties required of them while serving under his command at Camp Mabry, Texas. The cheerful spirit which they have displayed promises well for future con- tingencieS for national defense, as lar as Arizona is concerned. He trusts that their return home may be pleas ant. and their future as a military or ganization successful.
 Very respectfully.
 DAVID F. CORDRAY, Captain, Adjutant Twenty sixth In fantry, Adjutant General
 Major Lamson yesterday afternoon expressed himself as pleased with the conduct of his men on the trip. He says they distinguished themselves and won praise for the territorial Organiza- - ton. The good to the troops, it was his opinion, was incalculable at this time. but would be shown should a call necessitate the mobilization of the militia.
 The troops arrived at Maricopa yes terday afternoon about o'clock. and the Tempe, Phoenix and Flagstaff companies were brought from Mari cOpa north on special train. The Yuma troops continued their journey westward on a regular train. The Flagstaf company spent last night in the Phoenix armory and will leave this morning for the north on the S:45 train. All of the men were tired and sleepy after their long railroad ride but withal enjoyed the trip immensely

Guard, Commanding Battalion.
 The men of the battalion seem to be thoroughly enjoying military life and are just being whipped" into shape. Response to calls is more prompt than the first few days, for obvious reasons. A record of those late at the morning call is kept and those behind time are given special police duty. The delin- quent is usually the first into line next morning. The hours of the men when they are off duty are pleasantly spent in various ways.

HOW LITTLE JAPS AMUSE THEMSELVES
Now about the games that japanese children
play They not so very different from those
employed by their English cousins. They have
dolls, fly kites, enjoy dressing up, and playing at
keeping house. The little girls play more with
the boys than they do here, and the boys don't
squabble and fight much. 1 am afraid that in
good manners the Japs could give us many les
sons.
very favorite game is battledore and shuttle
cock, and it is played by the whole family, elders
as well as children If any one allows the shut
tlecock to fall to the ground the rest run up and
hit him with their bats, or else they paint queer
patterns on, his face with Indian ink.

You will observe that when child has been
trained to eat properly he can usually be taught
to accomplish other things of greater or less i'm
portance. But one must begin at the very be-
ginning, for little fellow day old soon learns
the art of getting what he wants in more ways
than one, from this big world.
Food should be taken at regular intervals
only, nothing between meals. He should take
plenty of time to indulge in his nutriment. On
no account should he eat hurriedly of himself or
be hurried. He must be taught to chew his
food a sufficient length of time, and this prac-
tice should be persisted in until he does so un-
consciously. Yet, it does seem that no matter
how much patience and time are given to the
teaching, mastication is very imperfectly done
until their sixth or seventh year
Meats should be finely CUT all vegetables
mashed, cereals cooked very soft and fruits
neither under or over ripe, but just right
DON'T COMPEL A CHILD TO EAT
When child is not inclined to eat, do not
urge the food upop him. This does not often oc.
cur when food is taken at regular hours and be-
tween meal "bites" forbidden. However, it does
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-01

happen, and it may be that the stomach does not
require it. All children do not require the same
amount of nutriment. When ordinary food does
not tempt child, rich and highly seasoned edi-
bles should not be given to compensate the con-
trariness of the youngsters palate.
When child once becomes accustomed, even
occasionally to more delectabe foods, he spurns
the simple diet and Graves entrees, jellies. past
res and sweets, which not only indges-
ton at the time, but instls desire for the same
rich fare through our childhood and even to man
hood and womanhood, inducing chronic stomach
trouble
1t is not unusual thing that child will
want to eat the most palatable looking food,
refusing to consider the less attractive dish
es, and when this course is forbidden
becomes sullly and declares that nothing
shall be eaten. The only way to handle such a
common case is to check it at the very begin
ming and insist that the simple articles of diet
such as milk, meat, cereals or vegetables be Civ
en- first and the other lighter foods withheld un-
til the former are disposed of.
i When a babe refuses food, it should be

chills their little stomachs too quickly especially
when they have been romping or playing in the
sun and they come in with blazing cheeks and
parched tongues.
No matter the time of day, a child that is
overheated should not be fed or given water to
drink except to relieve the dryness of his throat
until his temperature has gone down and his
calm restored
Many children have become desperately i'll
through neglect of this important essential of
their warm weather regime Most children
crave water after eating fruit; from twenty min
utes to half hour should elapse before they
are given water, that should be chilled, but not
directly from the ice pitcher.
1t is no easy matter to regulate the diet of
children in summer, especially when there are
three or four of them, and when a mother is re-
quired to superintend their meals without the
assistance of a nurse girl, many are unfor-
tunately compelled to do.
The following rules are several condensed
chapters on the correct feeding of children, that
the average mother will find of much practical
value.

Selecting the Succulent Lamb

Upon the novice in meat-buyng, stale lamb
may be palmed off at the price of fresh meat. On
no account, even at cheaper rate, should it be
taken, as young meat deteriorates faster than
matured flesh. and. is far more liable to develop
the dreaded ptomanes that give fatal sickness
Stale lamb is always Aabby and moist to the
touch 1t loses its frmness strangely, owing to
organic changes having rapid course in its fbres.
1t is full of nitrogen, the gas that causes all de-
composition and meat changes, and even one day
alters the structure of both lean and fat Curl
ously.
Good fresh lamb should feel very firm and
should be plump in aspect Its lean is pinlcsh-
red, and its fat white and hard If leg is bought,
it is a good plan to note the forequarter of the
animal, also to see if the vein in the neck is of
the right blue tint Quite bright blue vein
is shown at the neck OF fresh lamb, but if the
meat is not newly-killed, this vein will be one
of the first indications of coming decomposition,
for its blue will change to sickly green color.
A prime lamb for eating should be about four
months old. The limbs will be small and com
pact If rather large, the lamb is approaching
sheep size and yet will not have attained the
richness in flesh of the grown beast.
Yet another test of good meat is the stiffness
of the knucllle If this looks gelatinous and
moist, not rigidly stiff, the meat is not fresh or
wholesome.
Very tender is the lamb, but without mint
sauce it loses one of its great ATTRACTIONS For,
tender as young meat is, it is not nearly so d
gestbe as matured flesh, nor is it as rich in ex-
tractives, the flavor bodies of meat So the
favor bodies of aromatic mint are used to supply
this want.

carefully examined, milk sours SO easily in warm
weather and assuredly is very unpalatabe. Ex-
anime the childs mouth carefully to see if it is
sore, and if nothing is defective in either case,
then do not offer the food again until the next
feeding time.
When child has fever 10 solid food should
be taken, and when a milk diet is already
prescribed, this should be diluted and in some
cases partially peptonzed
In warm weather less solid food and more wa
ter of desirable temperature should be given to
children.
of food values she had best consult her physician,
especially when she contemplates leaving town
even for a couple of weeks.
The following suggestions are prescribed by
woman who has made specially of treating
general ills and diseases of children.
For a real young baby, of course milk is the
basis of the diet until it is two or three years
old. After it stops nursing the food becomes
more varied and solids gradually introduced
such as fruit vegetables and meats, though very
sparingy at first.
The more simple the meals the healthier and
more vigorous the child, and mothers should en-
deavor to give their meals at stated intervals as
next to the food itself, is the regularity of the
meals important. AS child grows older the
number of meals is decreased.
FOOD DURING THIRD YEAR
Usually tour meals are required during the
third year, the 10 A. M. feeding being omitted
when the child is two years old, otherwise the
hours may be about the during the Sec
ond year
Three-q quarters of an hour before breakfast give
the juice of an orange The first meal may con-
sist Of Two tablespoonfuls of well cooked ce-
real (not oatmeal, for this is heating in summer)
with little cream, sugar and salt Stale bread
or toast and butter, glass of warm milk, seft egg

Second meal: Glass of warm milk, or a cup
of chicken or mutton broth with slice of a day

then mashed. Bread and butter, junket, plain
custard twice week or prunes, baked apple OF
apple sauce, but sparngly of the latter when
first used in the season, as many apples are yet
green.
Fourth meal: From ten to fourteen ounces OF
warm milk, with bread, fabrina, arrowroot, bar
ley, cornstarch or granum, and milk OF milk
toast.
A WORD ABOUT CHOICE OF FRUITS.
From the twelfth to the fifteenth month only
fruit juices should be given. The juice of the
oranges comes first then fresh ripe peaches, april
cots or strawberries Remember that the juices
should be carefully strained through muslin to
make sure that none of the pulp or seeds are
taken.
From one to four tablespoonfuls of orange or
peach juice may be given at one time, and about
half the quantity Of the others named. Fruit
juices are best given in the morning or at noon.
From the third to the seventh year they should
be given in some form every day. Oranges, baked
apples, stewed prunes may be safely relied upon.
Raw apples In most cases should not be given.
When thoroughly ripe and fresh peaches, pears
and grapes with seeds removed), but only in
moderation. Fresh fruits are not always avail
able in city markets so that precaution must be

are six or seven years old, though occasionally in

children under four must not touch and most of
them are prohibited under seven years.

To one they will mean the embodi-
ment of joyous life, the personifcation of activ-
lty, the symbol of springs life-renewal after the
winter sleep. To such the idea of butchers in the
near future is one fraught with pain and not to
be contemplated. To cat lamb seems sacrilege.

the delight of epicures
1t needs little education in meat buying to
understand the intricacies of the lamb b-joints.
Only last year, young lady who had been
through course of study on foods, saw what
she took to be legs of lamb in butchers shop.
She decided buying leg.
"You have nice leg of lamb there!" she said,
indicating it, with the black foot attached, and
was urprised when the man, without smile,
said
''That's shoulder, ma am, not a leg"
"Oh!" she said 81 saw the foot and thought it
was leg Well, give me that other leg over
there
''That's forequarter, ma am, said the butch

studied meatcharts aud really knew the theory
of the thing. 1t was only practice she wanted
in actual buying, or, perhaps, little less hurry
in choosing.
