One OF the first things that grown'up
people do In 10 forget all about them
selves as children. This IN because chill
dren are not the little men and women
so often depicted. but creatures almost
as much apart from the adult world as
a primitive race OF human beings or the
fairies and gnomes that live In the
Imagination Of every normal child.
Without a fairly exact knowledge
alike OF the child's limitations and his
possibilities we cannot appreciate his
viewpoint. and II Is necessary TO appre-
ciate II In order TO deal fairly by hiH,.
The infant comes into the world az
blind as "A kitten. though his eyes are
open. totally deaf. and with no mind at
all as we understand mind. His large
head, dwarfed lower face. apex-like
thorax. and short arms and legs" would
give him really grotesque appearance
were he an adult. He has nearly twice
as much skin In proportion TO his size
as an adult. seven times as much brain.
though wholly undeveloped heart about
a third larger. and liver and kidneys
nearly twice as large. His bones are
soft and some OF them OF different
shape from what they assume later.
he sheds no tears when he cries, has no
teeth. takes his food by sucking, and
cannot digest starch. A certain gland
In his throat. whose secretions are con-
nected in some obscure way with
growth. will help us to appreciate what
tremendous physiological changes exist
between the child and the man. 1t is
almost as large in the newborn as the
left lung. but before he becomes maN
IL has entirely faded away.
The nerves OF the newborn, after
wards involved In voluntary action or
thought. are not sheathed at birth or
but little sheathed. This sheathing or
covering of tissue. which indicates that
the nerves are ready for use. comes
slowly and only as the functions of the
nerves are needed. To force their use
before they are ready will fatigue them
Children are pitifully restricted right
where nature intends them to be free.
Jimmie may eat all the candy he wants.
but Jimmie mustn't slide because he has
on white flannel trousers. And Martha
may sit up as late as she likes. but it's
naughty for Martha to climb trees in
her organdie and pink ribbons. So to
the disordered digestion and unstrung
nerves of Martha and Jimmie must be
added the further handicap of retarded
motor development. And all because
their parents look at childhood with an
eye less for its needs than for its ap-
pearances, failing from first to last to
get the child's point of view

THE CHILD's POINT or VIEW.

For the child to develop properly into
an all-round healthy, good and intel

and both demanded by nature. First:

HUNDRED PER CENT UTILITY OF
FOOD.

The housewife practicing food conser-
vation often inquiries these days, What
can | throw away?"
she can properly throw away egg
shells, tea leaves. coffee grounds. potato
skins; but not one morsel that is fit
for human food states the food adj
ministration.
Take bread for example. Crush or
break up your leftover bread. either
allow it to dry or brown IL in the oven.
and then eat it with sugar and cream
as cereal. Berad crumbs may be ad-
vantageously used as thickening for
soup in place of flour; as a substitute
for crackers or to make croutons for
soup; for stuffing meat and fowl; in
making bread omelets and puddings;
and as a substitute for flour in arv
sort of cake, cookies and puGdihgs.
"It has been estimated that 100000
tons of fat are. thrown away yearly in
this country. That amount, if saved.
would increase the amount of glycerine,
used in the manufacture of explosives,
by $4,000 tons. 1t would go far also
towards making up the shortage of fats
in the food supplies OF our allies.
Don't deliberately go out and buy a
soup bone or a can of soup when you
might use a bone with a little meat
clinging to it, or water in which rice or
other vegetables have been boiled, as
a basis, for the same purpose.
IF we throw away the outer leaves
of lettuce, or spinach. caulihower rad
ish and beet tops. or the peeling and
tough stems of mushroom, stalks of
celery. and so forth. we are wasting ma
trrials which might be used for green's
or for favoring soups. If not used i'm
irediately they may be dried and used
later.
Save food in the little ways. Make
food conservation your own problem;
apply your own skill to its solution.
Then teach your neighbour
