FOODS THAT AXE HARMFUL TO
CHI DREN

The Woman's Home Companion in its
December issue carries on its campaign
tor Better Babies" by publishing an
article entitled How to Make Babies
Better" by DR.. Roger H. bennett.
New York expert on children's diseases.
Following is an extract from the article
on the subject of food for children:
"The indscriminate eating of indigest-
ible food, such as many adults eat, is
practice to be condemned. Fried food Of
any kind, with the exception of steak or
chops, is harmful to the child, because
the fat with which it is fried is cooked
into the food and surrounds the particles
of which it is made up, so that the diges-
tive juices cannot act upon them. Most
children are, allowed too many sweets Re-
member that, even though they are given
a restricted amount of candy, cake, and
desserts, they will get enough sugar in
some form, in the course of week, to
supply all their needs. This restriction
of sweets ought not to be hardship if
the child is fond of fruit. Instead of
giving a piece of cake or candy between
meals, or even for dessert, an apple,
pear or peach will please him just as
we'll, and will be beneficial instead of
harmful. For some years mothers have
held the erroneous idea that raw fruits are
difficult to digest. This is not true if the
fruit is not green or over-ripe. If the
child has not sufficient teeth with which
to chew it the fruit should be given in
mashed or scraped form so that no hard
particles will be swallowed.
"Indiscriminate eating is not the only
error in child's diet. The over-carefui
mother occasionally goes to the other
extre.Le in endeavoring to plan health
full diet for her child. For instance, she
does not allow anything but milk and
cereals throughout the second year, for
fear that solid food cannot be digest
ed. This lack of solid food really does
harm, because when the second year Of
life is reached the child is much more like
the adult than during the first year, and
food which approaches the adult diet
should be begun. 1t is at this time that
the mother most needs the diet list to
guide her"

changeabIe Climate
is A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

Dr.. Hartman. of Columbus, Ohio,
discusses an important health topic.
He says:
YES 1t is the climate. not the germs,
that we have to fear in this country.
The germs are present, to be sure,
and are of some significance in
diagnosis. Climate, a changeable
climate. is the true cause of disease.
The atmospheric pressure varies, the
humidity of the atmosphere changes
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to-
The area of high pressure forms IN
the northwest. Moves RAPIDLY south
east, subjecting millions of our
population to it's influence. The re-
suit is. thousands upon thousands of
people catch cold A small per cent.
of these thousands do not get we'll Of
their cold. 1t goes into pneumonia,
or chronic catarrh. or bronchitis, or
laryngitis, or pleurisy.
Now, what l am getting at is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable.
No one car prevent them. The very
best we can do is to prepare for
them defend ourselves against them.
Good health is the best preventive
The very best. Vigorous health, with
excess vitality, this is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this, however
Some of us must have assistance.

taxed for the property he has accumu-
lated by honest toll? The right to prop

taxed for the property he has accumu-
lated by honest toll? The right to prop
erty, we are taught to believe, rests in
divine laws, not on those of any man.
Only that is property which has been
produced by the work of man. When a
man builds fish weir, or a boat, or a
house, or a shop, he has put his own
labor into it, and therefore has an ex-
elusive right of ownership, which i'm
plies the right to sell or rent or give it.
But the earth belongs to God. No man
can have any exclusive right of ownership
in land since the rights of every man must
be equal. Exclusive rights may be grant,
ed for the purpose of sowing and reap
ing, but this right must be limited by the
equal right of all and should be contin-
gent on the payment to the community
by the possessor of an equivalent for any
special valuable privilege accorded to
him. 1.-The taxing of houses, crops, and
furniture or wealth in any form means
taking from individuals what rightfully
belongs to them and is therefore viola
ton to the rights of property or robbery
committed in the name of the State.
Yes, am talking single tax, and it is a
mighty good doctrine. The taxing of
ground values means exacting from lndi-
viduals rent for the use of land which
is the property of all. The single tax
would, | believe, increase production
enormously because, as Henry George
explained, it would remove the burdens
weighing upon thrift and industry. The
present system of taxation falls most
heavily on the poor and is responsible for
the unequal distribution of wealth.
Or take the answer to the problem
now so much in evidence, that of Social
inns. According to its disciples, it is not
remedy, it is, economically, the only one.
Whatever may be said for or against
Socialism we must not overlook the fact
that whatever it may be worth in theory,
we shall need to make mighty advance
in human nature as we know it to get
the theory into decent practice. | do
not say this because | am out of sympa-
thy with Socialism,, for if this can be
urged as an objection to Socialism, much
tianity demands all that Socialism asks
for, and more. Christianity not only
sets before US the highest order of NUT
ual relations, but the highest order of in
dividual blessedness. 1t is the only real
provision we have against the awful dan
ger there is in satisfied ambitions. Chris
tianity has never been tried by many of
u.s. Where it has really been tried it
has never failed. Jesus met poverty
and relieved it. He went deeper into
the problem and struck at causes. He
aimed to help men to support themsel-
yes. Beloved. if we had a new social
system tomorrow, with the old selfish
ness, we should be back upon the old con-
ditions the day after. A man cannot he
good collectivist without being good
inllvidualst. Nothing but the new life
in Christ can radically change character
and nothing but changed character can
give us changed and better world.

legations into the causes of thousands of
actual cases Of poverty in the United
States, England and Germany He says,
Probably nothing in these tables of the
oauses of poverty, as ascertained by cold
counting, will more surprise the average
feader than the fact that intemperance
IS held to be the chief cause in only from
9ne-6fteenth to one-ffth of the cases,
and that where an attempt is made to
earn in how many cases it had contrib
TORY influence its presence cannot be
traced in more than 28.1 per cent of the
cases. No doubt these figures should be
received with caution, but SO should fig
ares which make one evil responsible for
early 70 per cent Of poverty. No one
plores more than do the Incorporate
ablts of so many of our American peo-
pie. But this said, let US try to be per-
fectly fair in discussing the evil.
Let me quote again from one who is
40 acknowledged authority. Speaking
Of unemployment and poverty. he says:
The main causes appear to be, the I'M
quail distribution of wealth, the denial
of access to the land. increasing national
and municipal expenditures, neglect of
technical and secondary education, our
failure to grapple with unemployment as
national question, lack of oversight in
the bringing up of children and the ever
present saloon evil. According to this
and many other writer's, wrong economic
conditions, producing poverty at one end
and luxurious idleness at the other is re-
sponsible for much of the nations pow
erty and misery. Before we make our
selves judges of millions who are little
better than slaves Of industry and pris-
oners of poverty let us pause and con-
slider that three per cent. of the people
own 20 per cent. of the wealth and 81, per
cent. own only % per cent of the wealth.
Is it right? No, no, the inhumanlty of
1t is appalling! 1t can never be- right
that one man should give his whole lite
and the lives of his children 40 soon az
they are able to work for bare living,
tenth of what is recklessly wasted by
MS employers.
How are we to attack this mass of
poverty and misery with any hope of
ilessening it and sooner or later destroy
ing it? The answers are many. Let me
ask you in considering the problem to
consider this. Is there any real reason
why poor man-any man should be
