ANNA u. l'OSI,

1t is of paramount Importance
that the correct food habits be
formed before child reaches the
age of seven. / am sure II
mothers only realized this they
would spend great deal of time
and effort on the dietaries of
their children. The Ill effects
of the wrong kind of food may
have no apparent result at the
time, but at least half the ills OF
later life are traceable to dietetic
errors in childhood. The child's
vitality is lowered by the wrong
kind of food and it's powers of
resistance lessened.
The digestive system has to
grow and develop just as any
other part OF the body. We do
not dress children like adults. SO
why should we feed them the
same kind of food? Nine cases
out of ten, where children take
cold easily, or are cross and irri-
table, it is because their little
bodies are clogged with undigest-
ed food.
Children should be fed at reg
ular intervals and until they go
to school, should have four meals
day. They should be taught to
maesticate their food thoroughly
as this not only helps in the d.
gestion, but also helps to exercise
the teeth and gums and thus
make harder, better teeth. Your
children also should be fed be-
fore the family mealtime. This
will cause inconvenience, but 1t
is worth more to the child than
almost anything else. The moth
er then is able to enjoy her own
meal and get more good from
her food. A child teasing for
food makes the mother nervous,
oftentimes causing the child to be
punished unnecessarily. This

MISSION PLAY ROMANCE
ENDS IN CAFE MURDER

Castillo secured employment as
a musical instructor and his wife
became a cabaret singer at the
Subway Inn. The metamorphosis
of the striking Spanish beauty
into a brilliant butterfly was toe
sudden for her temperamental
lover. The attentions lavished
upon her by cafe habitues kin
died into an insane jealousy.
Yesterday he called at the Sub
way Inn, as was his daily Gus
tom, to have her sing to him
alone. 1t mattered not IL the
tables were crowded.
'Slng me La Paloma,'" he
whispered to her. She sang the
dove song, and to him-alone
But he never knew. The shower
of coins from the men caused
something to break.
The coroner's jury guards the
rest of the story.

while feasting -on these forbidden

ly neutralizes all the harmful acid

as a powder or tablet (never milk
or liquid) and is not a laxative.

EDITOR THE TIMES:
VIII you be SO kind as to print
in your columns the following
translation?
The ex-Russian car applied to
the commissioner Of the new
Russian government to designate
support for his family.
AS a reply to his petition, in a
Russian paper (Russky Golos)
appeared a curious offer of two
Russians. They live in Pierce
county. However, all of the
curious quotation below expresses
the peace-loving nature of the
Russian people. They do not de-
mand an execution of the most
malicious enemy, but only offer
to occupy him with honest work
for him to obtain the support of
his living.
The Useful Offer.
We are ex-sailors of his mai
esty car of Russia. We read in
paper that our not-to-be-forgot-
ten monarch was cast down by
the rude force, and was obliged to
ask the duma for bread and milk
for his hungry children, and we
are sorry for his woeful situation
and his family.
Knowing that we are not now
the slaves of the car, but citi-
zens of Russia, we apply to the
Russian provisional government
to show more attentive respect
and mercy to this, unhappy fam
lily. From our side we offer the
following:
We shall give up our place to
our adored majesty. The place
