In response to advertisement in the
newspapers several hundred appli-
cants for work from men who had
reached middle age or beyond, have
been received by the committee and
a large force of clerks, loaned by
business houses to-day began to sift
and classify them.
Twenty middle-aged men whom
we have enlisted will be employed by

said Mr.. Rosenthal. THE head of this
house, to make an efficiency test, will
put them in the correspondence de-
partment Alongside of them will be
twenty young men, and each indivi-
dual will be given the same work to
do. They will open, sort and file cor

half as much work as the younger men
they will be paid half as much. If
their efficiency is equal to the younger
men they will receive the same salary"

of the tea. put a cup of boiling water
upon it, pour through a sieve and
drink a teacup full at any time. 1t is
the most effective way to break a cold

Children's Food Antipathies

able all winter long in the dreadful old
days when nothing green or fresh or
sour was to be had for love or money
from December to May.
They still have their uses under these
circumstances. and for those who have
digestions like a sawmil but in many
adults and in most children's stomachs
they produce more indigestion than fuel
value and their places are being rapidly
taken on our modern tables by lighter,
wholesomer and much more appetizing
foods such as lettuce, celery, tomatoes
and the green salads generally.
The only ones Of them that have any
real nourishment in them. dried peas
green peas are different. digestlble and
appetizing. but OF very light food value
and dried beans. have such irritating
| flavoring extTactives in them that they
can only be eaten to advantage about
once a week by adults, outside, OF course,
of lumber camps or construction gangs,
where they can burn almost anything.
Children can live and thrive on p
much more monotonous and restricted
diet than adults. providing that they are
allowed 70 select that diet.
II your child wants 20 eat only three
or four foods. ask your doctor II those
three OF four form balanced ration.
and II they do, let him alone, urging
him. OF course. 60 make a friendly ex-
peTimental trial OF other things from
time to time and watch the result.
As a foundation for and accompani-
ment OF other foods, starches-that Is,
bread. biscuit crackers. toast, rice, corn
meal, potatoes. etc.-play a heavy and
important part IN children's diet.
! AS they are the cheapest Of all human
| foods and the most in favor with anna
tsur diet reformers, there Is little fear OF
the poor youngsters not getting enough
and more than enough Of them.
Their genuine food value gives the
youngsters keen, natural appetite foI

a back ground and filler for the more
attractive. but less substantial fruits

those real foods which can only be eater
in smaller amounts, like butter and meat
The best form OF all the starchy foods
which for reasons Of economy supply
nearly two-thirds Of the fuel value Of
our food ration. Is good white bread
either plain or toasted.
Next comes the biscuit, II thoroughly
baked through and through and with
plenty OF crisp crust; then crackers
then plain cake and buildings. then pota'
toes. then corn meal. rice and last OF all
mushes and cereals.
The value Of these last for childreT

your child objects strongly to a particu-
lar kind of food, and careful inquiry
should be made as TO whether he just
dislil1es the taste of 1t or II It makes him

If it makes his stomach burn or his

and he should be excused from eating 1t
altogether. although encouraged to oc-
casionally taste little Of 1t from time to
time as he grows older to see whether he
is outgrowing his idIosyncrasy.
More commonly. however. this taste
expressed by your child for some food
or foods will be an unconscious protest
against waste OF furnace room.
A childs stomach Is smaller in pro-
portion 10 his body weight than the
adults is and much smaller in proper
ton to the degree of his activity and
expenditure OF energy. to say nothing Of
growth
For instance few children under ten
can go with comfort and advantage for
moro than three or four hours without
food, while most adults Will go five.
Grown-ups. with their more or less
sedentary habits and avoidance of violent
exercise and tough digestion, require OF.
at least, can utilize considerable amounts
OF rather coarse, bulky foods, what the
! farmers call "roughening OF rough
age"
Children. on the contrary. have com
paratIvely little use for these bulky hay
foods, but, on account OF the mallness
OF their stomAches and the incessantness
of their activity, require diet composed
chiefly Of nutritious. rather rich, and con-
centrated real foods.
So that II your child shows a strong
antipathY to some particular vegetable.
or for the matter OF that, other food.
there Is usually a reason; there are plenty
OF other fruits and vegetables just as
good for balancing his ration. OF which
he is safe to like at least two or three.
/ With their unerring instinct the little
rascals will usually eagerly devour sweet
fruits or sweet preserves. ON account OF
the sugar in them, which Is the reslest
Kind OF a food.
So, by a judicious combination OF
bribery OF this description and allowing

Of the two or three fruits and one veg
etable which he does like. there will be
no difficulty In keeping him healthy and
growing and he'll come 10 the other
things in his own good time.
For the matter Of that. the vegetables
which are the most frequent cause OF
war between children and their elders
through not necessarily wisers-eabbage

BY WOODS HUTCHINSON, NJ. d.

One Of the most frequent points of con-
flict between the rising and the passing
generations between the wisdom of
babes" and the prejudices of parents, is
at the table.
While children. for the most part, have
a cheerful and indiscrminate enthusiasm
for food of all sorts, and n broad and
catholic appreciation of almost every
thing that tastes good, gives some resist
ance between the teeth and produces
sense of comfortable distension In the
interior. yet there are limits and some
times sharp ones to their liberation.
A youngster with an otherwise hearty
natural appetite of sawmill intensity for
the particular things that he especially
approves of will suddenly 1ib violently
at one or more harmless. everyday foods
and declare that he cannot eat them
he doesn't like them. and that they even
make him sick TO look at them or smell
them.
II the foods happen to be OF common
use. and particularly II they are mex
pensive, there Is likely to be war at once.
For the general tendency of parental
authority and that crystallized form Of
stupidity. proverbial philosophy, is that
children must be taught to eat what is
put before them and make no fuss, partly
because this. being disagreeable, is good
Christian displine for them, and partly
in the belief that they should be taught
in advance TO eat every ordinary kind OF
food at least, so that he may be able to
find something to fill up on in the future
days OF boarding school or boarding
house or public and away from home
tables Of all sorts and descriptions.
Fortunately a more rational and kind
| lier spirit Is beginning TO prevade the re-
Iations OF parents and children, and In
stead Of deciding the matter offhand and
upon maxims handed down from the
| ignorance and barbarism OF the past, we
are willing 10 take the time and consider
and see whether there may not be some
reason and ground for this intense dis
like or distaste.
Also. II is gradually dawning upon u.s.
| in this as in other fields OF education
/ that It is hardly a rational way to make
child like and do easily the things that
It will be necessary for him to do in his
later life by making him hate them while
he is young from having them crammed
down his throat.
AZ soon as We look at It from this
point of view we discover that there Il
often good and sufficient reason for many
OF these childish whims and fancies and
/ dislikea.
Some OF them may be the expression
OF a genuine antipathy and susceptibility
TO that special food which will last al
his life long and which make that foot
literally a poison 20 him In any shap'
or form In which he can take IL.
