What the Growing Child Needs.
The appetite Of growing boy is
constant source of establishment to
his mother, and the ease with which
he consumes more food than the
adult members of the family con-
vinces her that his tastes are abnor-
NAL. She forgets that in the second
period of rapid growth that comes
early in the "teens" Nature is making
every effort to build perfect indi-
vidual and needs all the help she can
get. She cannot build without a
wealth of material, and 50 every boy
who is physically more active than
his father and mother, who is using
his brain for study and growing ra-
pidly besides, needs an abundant sup
ply of food What should this food
be? Should his diet be limited or his
taste questioned? Generally speak
ing, no. He needs all kinds of food,
and he generally Graves what he
needs. He needs protein to build a.
mans frame and he needs a larger
proportion OF it that the average
adult REQUIRES. He also needs fat
and starches TO furnish the heat and
energy burned out in his ever-active
body and to keep his tissues plump
and rounded While he needs much
protein, do not expect him to get it
all from meat Indeed, it Is better
that no small part of this. heterogeneous
food come from milk and eggs,
cheese, beans and peas. If he has
plenty of these rich and relatively
cheap foods he will not crave meat
so Unfortunately as some growing boys
do The boy needs large quantity
of carbohydrates. That is why his
demand for bread and butter is limit
ed only by the supply at hand, and
why he uses almost as much butter
as bread. Let him have all he wants.
BY the pound, butter is expensive,
but it is pure, wholesome food, and
he can use it readily 1t will not make
him i'll; quite the contrary. And do
not be afraid Of sugar and sweet
foods. Sugar is true, concentrated
food. Give him candy for dessert. He
Graves it and his Grazing is natural,
not abnormal. The boys instincts
will lead him to choose the all-around
diet he needs. To limit his choice
to few articles compels him uncon-
sciously to overuse the one he likes
the best. To regulate his diet to
the tastes or foods of his father. or
mother is cruelty and will probably
result in an undernourished child If
grown people wish to experiment on
new foods they have the right to do
so, but they do not have the right to
inflict their ideas of what is good for
them on their growing children. Good
food in variety and plenty of it is
what the child needs, and if it is pro-
vided his taste will not be abnormal
nor will his astonishing, appetite re-
suit in more than healthy rapid
growth.
Resolutions of Coincidence.
In as much as it has pleased the

Bystrom, the well, known settler and
esteemed citizen of Vega, and
as the congregation with his depart

ficing member, we feel with deep
sorrow the great loss that has &C.

knowing that all the ways of the
Lord are goodness and truth. There
fore resolved, that we express our
sincere sympathy with the children
of the deceased, in their great sor-
row for beloved father
blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith
the Spirit, that they may rest from
their labors; and their works do fol
