FOOD AND HEALTH

of the average mother spent half
as much time learning the common
sense method of feeding her children
as she does in worrying about their
ailments she would be happier and
her children would be in better
health" an eminent physician said
recently.
"Plenty of fresh air, plenty of
fruit and vegetables, soup, cooked
oatmeal and the like should form the
staples in every child's diet. Good
fresh eggs and milk are always de-
sirable, but meat, greasily cooked
foods and heavy desserts should
never be allowed. In the effort to
digest these things in youth the
stomach is often ruined for all time.
Mothers should encourage their chill
dren to talk and laugh during meal
times. This consumes time and
proves a valuable aid to digestion"

Uniformed officials are often &
puzzle to American travellers. An
instance of this is given in "Recol-

Gen. W. F. Draper, formerly Ameri-
can ambassador to Italy. Gen. and
Mrs. Draper were travelling in Rus
STA, when they had the following
amusing experience in the sleeping
car.
Mrs. Diapers maid, Marie, speaks
German as well as French, but Rus
sian is beyond her. After Mrs.
Diapers bed was made she desired
another pillow. and Marie rushed
into the corridor to get me. Seeing
a mar in uniform-the railway por-
tiers wear uniforms-she demanded
a pillow, in German.

POISON LABEL IN RUSSIA.

Since the Russian government en-
acted the law requiring the poison
label to be attached to all containers
of vodka "a strong alcoholic bev-
erage) numerous cases Of accidental
poisoning have been reported from
various parts of the empire. There
is a large population Of illiterates in
Russia, and with them the poison
label appearing on vodka bottles has
come to stand for vodka. AS a result
many bottles Of really poisonous mix
lures are being drunk by these peo-
pie under the impression that any
bottle bearing the poison label con-
tains vodka.

ONE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE
And Or. WlIey's Ability to Name II
Got Him Out Of Tight
Situation.

When the National Biscuit Ba-
kers' association met in annual con-
vention at Atlantic City last sum-
mer, DR.. Wiley, head Of the pure
food commission, came on from
Washington to address ane of the
principal sessions. His attitude
toward ~violators Of the food laws
was well known to the delegates,
who, however, pressed him with
questions as to the quality of goods
that could legally be offered for sale
to the public, The commissioner
parried the thrusts of the biscuit
bakers with his ready wit.
The discussion ran into stale
cakes and biscuits. In the south, it
was stated, it is practically impos-
sible to keep bakery products for
any length Of time free from weevils,
and such stuff is said to be disposed
of by selling it to the negroes at
cheap prices. Was this right? DR..
Wiley was in a quandary. The COM
mission could not interfere when the
goods were not shipped from one
state to another and to express his
own views on the matter might get
him into a needless tangle. He
thought rapidly; he would be diplo-
matte.
Honestly now, doctor, did you
ever see anything good with worms
in it," urged one of the delegates
from the north.
