UNLOVED SOLDIER BOYS.

If there is one class of men more
than others who have difficulty in
finding a sweetheart it is a soldier
boy. Not but that the girls admire
him, but he has little opportunity to
pursue his wooing. He cannot be on
hand to take a girl to entertainments
and dances when he would like. His
hours off duty are hampered. He
must keep early hours and be in his
quarters at an hour which would be
! the edge of the evening for other
young men.
If the parents and friends of the
girl he would WOO and win are over
ambitious, he has his own difficulties
in endeavoring to convince them that
a soldier would make a good husband.
No matter how poor young working
man may be, he may become rich and
prosperous. The soldier has much to
contend with in his struggle for ad-
vancement-
For this reason, many a worthy
young army man makes the deternin-
alton that he will advance to a. Ger
tain position ere he allows even the
thought Of womankind to disturb the
even tenor Of his way. He thinks love
will not matter; that he could do with
out it. But he finds a wide path be-
tween those whose lives are bright
ened by love and those who set them
selves the task of doing without it.
True soldiers cannot be with their
sWeethearts when they will, but there
is the blessed exchange of letters so
dear to the heart of a lonely man He
envies his comrades of the barracks
when they are distributed It puts
new life in some. The hardness of the
expected letter makes others despair.
The soldier lad who has no sweet
heart no woman to love him, turns

The girl who encourages the love of

MOTHERS SHOULD Make Milk
BASIS FOR ALL FOOD GIVEN
CHILDREN, ASSERTS EXPERT
Questions Every Mother
Should Ask Herself

At the end of the bulletin, as a
review, the author suggests that at
the close of the day every mother
might ask herself the following
questions to be sure that she has
considered the important things in
feeding her chiIdren:
Did each child take about a
quart of milk in one form or an
other?
Have L taken pains to see that
the milk that comes to my house
has been handled in a clean way?
If I was. obliged to serve skim
milk for the sake of c1eanness or
economy, did I supply little extra
fat in some other way?
Were the fats which gave the
child of the wholesome kind found
in milk, cream, butter, and salad
oils, or of the unWholesome kind
found in doughnuts and other fried
foods?
Did make good use of all skim
milk by using it in the preparation
of cereal mushes, buildings, or
otherwise?
Were ali cereal foods thoroughly
cooked?
Was the bread soggy? If so.
was it because the loaves were too
large, or because they were not
cooked long enough?
Did take pains to get a variety
serving a cereal mush once during
the day?
DID keep in mind that while ce-
reals are good foods in themselves;
they do not take the place of meat,
milk, eggs, fruit, and vegetables?
Did keep in mind that children
who do not have plenty of fruit
and vegetables need whole wheat
bread and whole grains served in
other ways?
Did each child have an egg or an
equivalent amount of meat, fish, or
poultry?
Did any child have more than
this of flesh foods or eggs? If so,
might the money not have been
better spent for fruits and vege-
tables?
If was unable to get milk. meat.
fish, poultry or eggs, did serve
dried beans, or other legumes thor
oughly cooked and carefully sea-
soned?
Were vegetables and fruits both
on the child's bill of fare once du-
ring the day? If not, was it be-
cause we have not taken pains to
raise them in our home garden?
Did either the fruit or the vege-
table disagree with the child? If
SO, ought 1 to have cooked it more
thoroughly, chopped it more finely,
or have removed the skins or
seeds?
Was the child given sweets be-
tween meals, or anything that
tempted him to eat when he was
not hungry?
Was he allowed to eat sweets
when he should have been drink
ing milk or eating cereals, meat,
eggs, fruit, or vegetables?
Were the sweets given to the
child simple, i. e., unmixed with
much fat or. with hard Substances
difficult to chew and not highly
favored?
Was the food served in a neat
and orderly way and did the child
take time to chew his food prop
erly?

the directorate of the Connecticut As
ISOLATION Opposed to Woman Suffrage

chusetts Association was attended by
several members of the Connecticut
Association There were brought back
to the work In Connecticut, not only
new ideas but glowing reports of the
progress of the work in other states.
Many of these ideas for the spread of
knowledge of the aims of the anti.

the workers here with results best

be boiled and served with rice When
roasted, only the tender portions
should should be fed. Highly season.
ed stuff1ng or rich gravy should not
be given to a young child.
Dried and other fish, and oysters
may be served in milk stews. Well
boiled fish is good for variety. Eggs
must not be overlooked or they are
likely to cause indigestion. The best
way to cook eggs is to poach or cod
die them. Scrambled eggs may be-
served occasionally, provided care is
taken not to scorch the fat or to over
cook the eggs. l
Fatty Foods.
Fat is an important part of the food
of children. There is more than an
ounce of fat Cat least 2 IL level ia
blespoonfuls) in quart Of whole
mikl. If the healthy child is given
a quart of milk. has butter on his
bread, and meat or an egg once a
day, he gets enough fat, and that
which he received is in wholesome
form. 1t is well, therefore, not to
give such fatty foods as pastry, fried
meats and vegetables, and doughnuts
or rich cakes. If the child is con-
stipated, the occasional use of cream
or salad oil is desirable, for fat in
abundance is laxative.
Bacon or salt pork, cut very thin
and carefully cooked may be given
not to burn the fat.
Vegetables and Fruits
Vegetables and fruits are grouped
together because they are similar in
that both supply iron, lime, and 9TH
Ell. mineral matters, and also mild
acids Vegetables are an important
but often a neglected part OF the
child's diet. They should be served
at least once a day. as they help to
keep the bowels in good condition.
Fruits are important for their flavor
ing, for their laxative effects and
doubtless for other reasons, and
least once a day. Fruit juices and
the pulp of cooked fruit, baked ap-
pies and pears, and stewed prunes,
are the safest. The child should not
be allowed to eat the skins unless they
have been made very tender by cook
ing.
Simple Sweets.
Sugar is a desirable part of the diet
provided it is given in simple sweets
and not allowed to take the place of
other foods and spoil the child's APP
petite. Simple sweets are such
things as lump sugar, maple sugar,
syrups, honey, and plain candy, and
those foods in which sugar is combin-
ed in simple forms with fruit juices
Tin lemonade, water ice, jelly, etc,
with flour starch, as in plain cakes
Coup cakes, sponge cake, coolSies), and
with fruit, as in jams, marmaladegB
and similar things.

You and will have to surrnise, dear

must be. Hope is of the greatest value
