AS a companion for man, there is no
domestic animal in my opinion, not
even excepting the dog, which will
take place of the horse, provided man
treats the animal as companion.
I have had the pleasure of riding
through the country alone with my
horse from Blacksburg, in Southwest
Virginia. to Washington. D. c.. and
lightfu trip than the one referred to
would be hard to imagine. But the
animal which I was using on this trip
was beautiful little filly which I
had purchased in Montgomery coun-
". at the aEe of three years. and had
been the only person to ride .or drive
her. thus she was thoroughly used to
me and my hands. while 1 was also
accustomed. to her every popularity.
When trotting along the road my
horse would often attract my attention
by the way SHE would prick up her
ears and pay special attention to some
object far ahead OF us in the road.

SO much attention to my talk that
she got into the habit Of watching
far ahead all OF the time we were on
the journey and, when she would see
any one coming towards us. she would
actually stop In her tracks and look
around as If she wanted me to be sure
and see the object also. Time and time
again. l would not say a word. to
see what the animal would do, when
she would soon stop until I would
speak to her. then off she would be
at a seconds notice. Finally I met a
way. and he noticed the filly checking
up when some one came out in the
road ahead. I spoke to her, when she
was perfectly satisfied to go right
on. The party then asked me why
wanted to spoil the animal by teach
ing her such tricks. l answered tia.

THE CHILDREN
SHOULD EAT
Most Valuable Suggestions are Offered to Parents-Ihe
Best Foods for HeaIthfu| Growth Diet
Desnabe-Regular Hours Imperative

Between the fifth and the tenth
year of child's life, the dinner
should be in the middle of the day
and the supper at night. Frequent
eating between meals should be dis
couraged, although glass of milk
is usually good for the child and
plenty of water should be taken dur
ing the day. Nothing can take the
place of milk. 1t is nearly a perfect
food, and the majority of children
can take and digest it. A child
should never take a glass of milk
and drink it hastily. 1t should be
slipped slowly or it will form large
lump in the stomach. Care should
be taken to have the milk fresh and
clean. 1t is not advisable to give the
milk and sour fruits at the same
time.
four glasses of milk a day with per-
feet safety.
Cream is good, but should not be
very heavy. Sometimes children
have very rich cream poured on their
cereal and it is often the cause of
bad breath and a coated tongue.
A mixed diet is good for most
children.
Eggs are also a valuable food, but
should never be fried. The white of
the egg is very digestible. Many
people think that eggs cause bilious
ness; but this Is not the case, If the
eggs are cooked carefully. They
should not be boiled, but should be
put into boiling water and placed in
a covered vessel which stands on the
kitchen table.
o1c IN, vIx
they must be properly cooked. In
cooking prepared cereals, such as
oatmeal and wheat, they should be
cooked three or four times longer
than the time given on the box. If
the cereal is properly cooked, 1t is
usually well digested. Rice, oatmeal.
or any of these preparations, in or
der to be well digested, should be
cooked at least three hours and a
half. Corn starch used as a soup or
made into pudding should be cooked
at least thirty minutes. Do not put
too much sugar on cereals. One
half a teaspoonful to saucerful is
what the leading physicians pre-
scribe. tr
Fruits are very important and
particularly useful for their effect
upon the bowls.
Be careful about giving fruit to
children. Fruit should not be un-
derripe nor overripe. In. hot wea-
ther take great care to select fruits
that are in good condition Do not
give the children too much fruit.
Fruit juice is good for breakfast.
Cooked fruits, such as baked apples
and prunes. are desirable. Orange
juice Is excellent
Do not give tea or coffee to any
child under ten years of age. It is
far better not to give 1t until they
are much older. Cocoa Is a good
drink.
While the child is young it should
learn to eat In the right way. That
Is, to eat the right kind of food. at
regular hours, to eat slowly, and to
