WHAT THE GROWING CHILD
NEEDS

In the December press bulletin OF
the American Medical association the
following article on the needs OF a
growing child, appears:
The appetite of growing boy is a
constant source of astOnishment TO MS
mother, and the ease with which ne
consumes more food than the adult
members of the family conv1nces her
that his tastes are abnormal. She for

a perfect individual and needs all the
help she can get. She cannot Dulld

active than his father and mother. VINO
Is using his brain for study and grow
ing rapidly besides, needs an abundant
supply of food. What should this 1000
he? Should his diet be limited or his
taste questioned? Generally speaking,
no. He needs all kinds Of food, ana
he generally Graves what he needs. he
needs protein to build mans frame
and he needs a larger proportion or IL
than the average adult requires. ne
also needs fat and starches to furnish
the heat and energy burned out IN MS
eyer-act1ve body and to keep MS us
snes plump and rounded. While ne
needs much protein, do not expect MIN
to get it all from meat. Indeed, 1t is
better that no small part OF this nitro
genous food come from milk and eggs,
cheese. beans and peas. II ne mas
plenty of these rich and relatively
chean foods he will not crave meat so
Unfortunately as some growing boys 40:
Tha boy needs a large quantity OF
carbohydrates. That is why his de-
mand for bread and butter IS llmlteo
only by the supply at hand, ana why
he uses almost as much butter as
bread, Let him have all he wants. by
the pound, butter Is expensive, but II

use it readily. 1t will not make him

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. II
grown people wish to experiment on
new foods they have the right to do So
but they do not have the right to In
f1ict their ideas of what is good for
them on their growing children. Good
food in variety and plenty of 1t Is
what the child needs, and if it Is pro-

ly. Then the paper cracked to ball
in his clutched hand, and he made a
hoarse sound which was half a cry,
then sat perfectly still, his whole face
shuddering. What he crushed In his
hand was no note Of tender love-
phrases; it was an abrupt dismissal
The staggering contretemps struck
the color from his face and left every
nerve raw and quivering. TO be
nothing to her, as she could be moth
ing to him? He felt a CHASTITY in
clination to laugh. Nothing to her!
The meaning Of the lines was mon
strous. 1t was uncomfortable.
Presently, his brows frowning heavi-
ly, he spread out the crumpled paper
and reread It with bitter slowness,
weighing each phrase Something
which she had learned since she last
saw him, which lay between them"
She had not known it, then. last night,
when they had kissed beside the sun
dial! She had loved him then! What
could there be that thrust them ir-
revocably apart?
He sprang up and paced the floor
in a binding passion of resentment
he said between his set teeth. 1--WE
belong to each other! There can be
nothing, nothing to separate us!"
Again he poured over the page. "She
could not see him again, could not
even explain" The words seemed to
echo themselves, bleak as hail on a
prison pane "If he went to st.. An
drew's, he might find the reason why"
What could she mean by the reference
to st. Andrews? He caught at that
as clue Could the old church tell
him what had reared itself in such
dismal fashion between them?
Without stopping to think Of the
darkness or that the friendly doors of
the edifice would be closed. he caught
up his hat and went swiftly down the
drive to the road, along which he
plunged breathlessly. The blue star
sprinkled sky was now streaked with
clouds like faded orchids, and the
shadows on the uneven ground under
his hurried feet made him giddy.
Through the din and hurlyburly of his
thoughts he was conscious Of dimly-
