the youngsters are going to repeat
what VIC have said.
AS their midday dinner is their chief
meal of the day, it is necessary to pro-
vide something they all like, and it is a
great mistake to try to force children
to eat what is Objectionable to them
For instance. most children dislike
boiled mutton and fat, and very few
are for cold meat, but if the meat, fat
n all be nicely minced, seasoned and
placed In a pie dish. with a little good
gravy and a thick crust of mashed
potatoes. il only has to be baked nice
and brown. and they will make a good
dinner. while mother will enjoy her
luncheon Of the same dish all the better
because the children have made a salts
factory meal.
1t is a mistake to give young children
too much meat, and a much greater one
to allow them to eat pickles, pepper, or
sauces; they will impair their young
digestions. Milk should always take a
prominent place In children's food,
and this is easily managed, as there are
so many buildings in which 1t is the
chief ingredient.

was apt to bubble up and burst at the
very moment no one was expecting it.
His chief amusement was In teasing
Hanks, whom he sarcastically called
"Old Liberality," or Lib for short.
He spoke with a whine that always
ended in a rasping laugh that was very
infectious. Hanks had never been
known to smile. and yet a close observ-
er would have seen that, in his own
way. he seemed to enjoy all his asso-
ciate's levity. 1t was a chilly day and
there was a good fire in the long roc
stove, and the two men bent over it.
George Buckley sat on his high stool
at his desk at work on his big ledger.
Say, George" whined Kenner, as he
threw a cigar stump under the stove
and leaned back In his chair. did you
ever hear that tale Bill Cover is a-tell-
in on Lib, about his burn out when he
used to be in the junk business"
George smiled indulgently and said,
without looking round, that he had not.

George laughed at this recital, but
Hanks simply swung his foot back and
forth and chewed the end of his UNI
lighted cigar. To all appearances he
had not heard a word of what had been
said.
