NEW FOOD THEORY.

A we'll known physician said: Most
people eat too many different articles
and nearly every one eats entirely too
much. II you would eat less in guam
fifty, masticate more thoroughly and
avoid such a great variety, combining
the meal to two or three articles. the
digestion would be carried on 10 far
greater advantage. II is not right TO
eat a combination OF various articles
OF food.
You eat all you require OF one or
two articles Of food. and then you pro-
coed to tickle the appetite with half a
dozen other foods. while II your meal
had been confined 10 two or three ar
ticles you would not have eaten half as
much.
The less you eat to maintain health
and strength and the vitality that is
essential the longer the human ma
chincry VIII wear. the longer you will
live, the fewer diseases you will have
and the stronger YOU Will be in every
conceivable way. Variety in food is in

to Do With
The Stupid Child

WHAT 70 do with the stupid child is
a question Of vital Importance TO
many mothers and one that admits Of
many theories. Some people think like
the old farmer who, when told TO look
after his sick sheep, said: It's no but a
waste TO cosset them. II they're worth
II they'll win through by theirsels" An
other theory which has many expo
nents is that judicious punishment is
a sharpener Of wits and a cure for
a lack Of comprehension sweepingly
termed "obstinacy."
But a child is such an enigma to the
grownup person that harshness is al
ways a mistake, for the adult can only
vaguely guess the workings of little
brains and the meaning Of the ex-
pressionless little face and cannot
plumb the depths to which n harsh
word may sink The troubles Of the
early years are very real and often
leave an impression which lasts
through life.
A child may be really dull. In that
case 1t Is Of no use to wound the ten
der, sensitive heart by disparaging
criticisms. On the other hand. what is
thought to be stolid stupidity may be
merely the mask of a contemplating.

he will be able to leave the hospital

bone is knitting rapidly but it has
now been discovered that he had a
break in the right femur and this
break is causing him much annoy

cheerful and never complains.
Yesterday he had many friends
who took him flowers, fruit, maya
zines, books and papers. All of
these friends helped to cheer him
and last evening, although tired he
stated that he felt better than he
had at any time previous to en-
