What children eat builds them phys
ically. Nothing should hinder tae Pc
Rod of growth, for it can never be
made up to them in later life.
Children should be taught to thor
oughly chew their food, they should
not be hurried in their eating, or
fused with and corrected during the
meal. Foods that are not to be given
children should not be temptingly dis
played before them. For this reason
their own mealtime and table Is de-
sirable.
The helpless child is dependent upon
older people to provide for him; we
should know and study his needs. ,ssas
Sleep is an absolute necessity "
any life; Tor children under three,
there should be twelve hours sleep at
night and a nap morning and AFTER
sleep enough at this time will reap
the harvest Of nerves and weakness all
through life. The eyes rest during
sleep, the heart does not need to work
so hard and the nervous system is re-
freshed by sleep. Not only the health,
but the chiId's intelligence depend up
on good habits in early life. Plenty
of fresh air IN the sleeping room Is as
necessary As good food at the table
The child who gets up with a head
ache and bad taste in the mouth has
often slept in poorly ventilated
room. Cold air is not pure air. The
normal child gets its exercise In play.
Too violent play is strain upon the

that the wives of America, SO per cent
