OF thrift were quoted In a Washington

went so far as to say make economy
fashionable. lest it become obligatory.
This was deprecated. the general
feeling being that any agitat5rn TO

was of the highest order. and all over
Virginia. and especially here in Rich
mond. there are a great number of
successful men and women who were
taught by him.
Mr.. Morrissette would have been
eighty years old the first OF next July.
and had spent pra <tically his entire

Petrograd May 6.--An eloquent
appeal to huge throng of demon
strators by Sir George Buchanan,
British ambassador to Russia, did per-
haps more than anything else to qlell
the counter-revolutionary movement
of the last three days and to dispel
the belief among a section of the
masses that the allies are fighting a
war of conquest.
From the balcony of his embassy,
Sir George beside him Lady Buch-
anan. delivered a spirited address, set
ting forth the cause the entente pow
ers are fighting for, and particularly
the reason for England's entrance into
the war.
Had not it been for the invasion of
Belgium. he told the crowds, England
would never have entered the war.
and the solemn vindication of right
and justice" he said, was the high
ideal Of all the powers now aligned
against Germany. He pleaded for
united support of the provision gov
eminent, saying without such support
Russia would be befallen by indes-
cribable disaster.
Stormy pro-ally ovations were the
result of his appeal. Similar scenes
occurred in front of the French and
Italian embassies.
Meanwhile the executive committee

to maintain order and avoid new

Feeding the Growing Child
During the Second Ye0r

(This is the first of series OF arti-
Giles furnished by the United States
commissioner OF health. The articles
will appear once week..
Much Of the illness and suffering
among babies commonly attributed to
the second summer" or to testhing
is actually due to errors in feeding.
The baby's delicate digestive mechan-
ism, accustomed to dealing only with
milk, cannot all at once undertake
the task Of adjustment to varied diet
Of solid foods, but must be strength
ened by the gradual addition of new
foods Until the organs are trained to
more complicated operations. The
safe rule for feeding the baby is to
add but one new food at time to
his dietary; to watch carefully the eff
feet Of each one and to withdraw it
and return to the simpler diet at the
first sign OF trouble. These rules are

should be quite dry when used; that
is, at least two days old. Tender toast
is made by cutting thin slices from
such loaf and allowing them to dry
still more, then toasting them to a
delicate brown over quick fire. Toast
thus made is crisp all the way through
and may be used in many ways. Many
children will like to eat it broken
into bits in broth or milk. Hot breads
and biscuits, grddle cakes and muf-
fms are not suitable for young chill
dren.
Fruit-The child may have a small
portion of baked apple or prunes once
day in addition to his morning feed
ing Of orange juice. The apple should
be baked very tender, and all the skin,
seeds and hard parts should be re-

moved. Prunes should be very care
fully washed, soaked all night, then
cooked until very tender with very
little sugar. A small portion OF the
strained pulp may be given instead of
apple, and the juice may be used also.
Meat-The child may have about
tablespoonful Of scraped meat, or
soft boiled or coddled egg once day.
Beef, broiled, boiled or roasted, the
tender part of lamb chop or the del
icate meat of chicken or fish may be
used. All meat should be scraped or

age can be trusted to chew it prop
