is not an attractive fruit to the
eye, but, with a little ingenuity,
can be made most delicious to
the palate.
Few like the old-fashioned
method of stewing rhubarb. Try
this: Cook over a slow fire the
juice of two oranges with one
pound Of sugar. Add two quarts
rhubarb cut into small pieces, the
grated peel of a lemon six cloves
and half teaspoon cinnamon to
the strip and simmer gently until
the rhubarb is tender. Serve
plain or with whipped cream.

has poorly developed body, little
can be expected of it in the way
tof mental development and adj
vancement. No doubt the so-called
stupidity or backwardness of many
Ichildren in the public schools is
simply the result of neglect and
undertaking.
The period of development, both
physical and intellectual, is the
most critical and wonderful of
life. Within a few years the ma
terial or structural growth is COM
pleted, the functions of the various
organs are developed the muscles
are trained to act with vigor and
coordination. and the nervous sys-
tenn taught to receive and transmit
impression and to learn self-con-
|trol.
All this and more Is asked of
the growing child, and parents
should remember at this time that
the education of the mind is a life
long process, but that the develop
ment of the body is strictly limited
to a certain period of existence.
The growing child needs an
abundance of food of the right
Kind and quality-of animal food
to build new tissue and repair the
waste of fat and starch to produce
|energy expended in the form OF
heat and muscular activity, and OF
mineral matter, particularly salts
OF lime, to meet the requirements
in the formation of bones and
teeth. The bulk of food required
by the child from ~ to Is is rela-
lively very large, approximating in
weight to that of a person in the
prime OF life, and being only a lit
tie less than that needed by the
laboring man; and parents should
not be mortified at Johns enor-
nous appetite"
The digestion of the child diff
fers from that of an adult, in
being SO active that assimilation
is more quickly completed; and it
is perfectly natural for a boy or
girl to become hungry at shorter
intervals than the parent. This is
partly due to the child's remarka-
bic physical activity. which should
be controlled and directed. not

THE DEATH LURE
BY Harold Carter.


Beware of the death lure"
Levantine wives of pearl divers

told their children, too, when
they were old enough to follow

who was dead, had told her-or

These bold Levantines followed
the sea from Greece to Singapore,
and wherever the pearl oyster
was thickest, there they were to
be found. Thus it happened that
Carlo and Emilio were gathering
oysters from the beds by the
shores of Trincomalee. Rivals
they were, in love as well as in
the quest for wealth; for the one
who should first bring back 500

And Carlo had already two-thirds

him. Emilio had nothing. Each
oyster that he took was pearl

the bitterness of his hate softened

necks in water. For that day
Carlo had found a perfect pearl,
worth liras from the hand of
any of the Chinese dealers.
Suddenly Carlos eyes grew
wide with establishment. He
glanced at Emilio cautiously.
Emilio had not noticed him. Then
he looked down again. There, in
the depths beneath him, was
something that shimmered and
shone-a pearl of fabulous value,

Starting the Child Right
Talk Mothers the Importance Food and Exercise
for Growing Children.
ALICE NJ GuNN
Professor of Domestic Science.

The power of baby to grow
mentally and physically must de-
pend chiefly on its feeding. al
though air, sunlight, environment,
rest, sleep, exercise, bathing and
clothing all play parts not to be
overlooked.
Nature has provided an animal
food for the young, and mothers
milk is the typical nourishment.
And in spite of the efforts of many
scientists and investigators to pro-
vide substitute for mothers milk
in the various forms of modified
milk, their attempts have been
fruitless. They can supply the
same percentage of water, fats,
protoids, sugar and salts, but ma
lures gift-the ferment of the
mothers milk-is lacking.
The majority of intelligent
mothers know that the selection,
adaptation and preparation of the
infants food is a matter of great
Importance, requiring knowledge
and attention to details. Getting
the baby out of arms, however,
should not diminish the mothers
care, but the same attention as
given to the nursery, should ex-
tend throughout childhood, with
such modification as the changing
of body demands, for 1t is now
that the child's training in per-
sonal hygiene should begin and
habits Of personal cleanliness be
established.
After infancy the danger from
death may be lessened, but not of
perverted development. All to fire.
quently, however, when school age
is reached, do mothers assume that
what is provided for themselves in
the way of food is proper for the
growing child.
The normal healthy child has an
easy, happy disposition; is active.
and will work mentally and phys
ically when the employment is
presented rightly. The child's
play issan important factor, not
only in the preservation of health.
