DIET FOR CHILDREN.
--s.s-s.s.s.s++|-s%%s-E+

The physician usually directs the
care of the invalid and the food for
the baby, but the mother is usually
left to work out her own problems
so far as the older child is concern
ed. One of the troublesome prob
lens for the mother is deciding upon
the right food for the school chill
dren.
Fortunately THE healthy child set
ties the matter for himself, to great
extent, and his own normal appetite
guides him up to a certain point.
But a normal appetite may easily
become perverted and so lead him
astray.
A child needs large per cent, of
tissue building foods, such as eggs,
lean meat, milk, ETC., when he is
growing rapidly. One is often
alarmed at the amount a growing
boy eats. but there is really little
cause for anxiety il the child thor.
oughly masticates his food and eats
the right kinds and at the proper
time
In regard to sweets, candy is very
desirable if taken at the end of the
meal. but if eaten between meals it
is very Objectionable, since it satis-
flies the appetite, so the person does
dt does not give the proper nourish-
ment.
If simple. attractive sandwiches
and plenty of them were always
given children at party before the
ice cream or candy were passed,
fewer children would oyereat at
parties.
If children are allowed to eat
freely the food must be simple and
easy to digest. Most meats Except
ing pork. vegetables. fruits, simple
puddings, very little or no pastry,
and plain cakes, with plenty of good
bread and butter, also cereals well
cooked, milk and eggs, will furnish
sufficient variety for anyone. Tea
and coffee should never be given in
moderation.
Many children have to be urged
to eat fat. as few children eat enough
fat. 1t can be given them In the
form of butter or cream.
1t is very desirable that children
should grow up learning to like all
ordinary foods and so be able to eat
every kind of wholesome food.
The question of eating between
meals is one that frequently arises.
The child who has his breakfast very
early often becomes very faint be-
fore his noon meal. In such cases
the child should be given light
lunch. If child is really hungry
he will eat bread and butter. A
sandwich, with the addition of some
kind of fruit, will often do much
to preserve a child's good temper
and also help him do his work bet
ter.
Good habits in regard to eating
should be established at an early age
since they will probably remain with
one through life

Perjury Penalties.

Perjury, besides being one OF the
oldest Of offenses in the catalogue of
crime. has always been very severely
punished With the advance OF ciyili-
zatlon. however. fcndish punlshments
have been replaced by more humane II
still severe penalties. In the days OF
the Roman empire any one who com
mitted perjury was thrown from n
precipice, while the Greeks branded
their false swearers. 1t is interesting
TO note that when the latter embraced
the Christian religion the punishment
was altered TO that of having the
tongue cut out, sort of punishment
which was considered to tit the crime
In the early centuries. In the middle
ages some countries adopted the sys-
TEN of giving the perjurer the punish
ment for the crime he falsely accused
another Of Thus If he swore a neigh
Dor bad committed murder and the
charge was dIsproved the perjurer
would be sentenced TO death. and the
other penalties of the penal code were
exacted for the particular crime al
legged.
