needed in the body, it will decompose
in the stomach and bowels and form
poisons that cause many disorders.
Spring fever, nervousness, and most of
our spring and summer diseases are due
in part to the poisons from too much
meat An excess of meat, when di-
gested, overheats the body, adds to
our summer discomfort, lowers our dis
ease-resisting power, and overworks the
liver and kidneys. We need 20 little
meat in summer that It is very easy TO
take too much. $40 I'll.
How frequently Should We EAT
Meat.
No one should ever eat meat more
often than once daily. Just here let
Us remember that eggs are meat, that
II We have eggs for breakfast We
should not cat other forms Of meat
again that day. During hot weather,
unless one is working very hard, four
times a week is sufficiently often for
meat.

MAKE CHUM OF YOUR CHILD
Boy viii Welcome companionshlp of
Father Who He Feels Can
Understand Him.

The influence of mans companion
ship in child's life is usually larger,
less detailed thing than that of a wom-
an. but it is for this very reason the
more needed. The child Is eager TO
enlarge his own world; he is, if he is
normal. growing and outgrowing-he
is longing to step out of his own little
circle into the larger one of men and
affairs in which he knows his fatheI
moves. l think l may say do not
know a single child, and l very much
doubt If anyone else does, who would
not willingly give up his play at the
offer of half an hours companionship
with a grown man whom he can trust
and~who really understands him. And
when the grown man is the child's ia
Their, the response is just so much the
more ready.
You notice / have said whom he can
trust and who really understands him.
And in those two conditions are i'm
piled all the obligations as well as all
the rewards of fatherhood. If boy
cannot trust his father, or if his fa-
Their does not understand him, it is
likely enough he will prefer his toys !;
and l cannot help feeling that he
shows wisdom in the preference.
1t is pitiful commentary that so
many children, given the chance to be
with their fathers, to sit beside them,
to go for a walk with them, to hear
them tell of this or that, will jump at
the chance, not because the compan-
ionship is so complete and satisfying
but because it is rare treat, a real
novelty. - Laura Spencer Portor, In
Mothers Magazine.
