cheapest substitutes for meat and
therefore their increased consumption

| From Europe comes the report
that more than three fifths Of the
dairy cattle have been slaughtered
The extreme shortage Of milk was one
of the first problems to receive the at
tention of the Red Cross Relief Com
mission when it entered Belgium and
Northern France after these unfOrtun-
ate countries were invaded by the
Hun.
| There has been scarcely child born
in northern France and many in Bel
GUM, whose continued life has not
been dependent during the past four
years upon American condensed
milk. For this purpose condensed
milk has been shipped not in single
cans but in scores of thousands of tons.
Every American would be thrilled
| could he but see the gratitude which
the ration which enables their children
| to survive.
European conditions are not the on
ly reason why the dairy industry must
be fostered Dr. McCullum, one of the
greatest American Scientists, has
proven conclusively that milk con-
tains a certain life giving element es-
sential to normal human development
and that this essential is not contain
ed in any other food except in limited
amounts in the leaves Of plants.
1t has been found that children de-
MED milk, no matter what their ration
might be, become weak and puny.
That after a few weeks they develop
skin diseases and in many instances
become blind. 1t is for this reason
that every mother should fully under
stand and appreciate the value of milk
to not only the infant, but to the grow
ing as we'll.
These facts and many more will be
embodied in mammoth exhibit to be
made by the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture at the Dairy Cattle Congress
and Industrial Exposition to be held at
Waterloo, Iowa, September 3Oth, to
October 9Th. 1t is an exhibit that will
be of vital interest to every one
whether they live in town or the
country 1t will be complete new

attractions of this great national Ex-
position which has been the center of
attraction for the dairy world during
the past eight years.

he very likely would not hurt him
self seriously.
1t is not necessary for you to buy
many toys for your boy. He will
enjoy almost any toy which he can
handle, and which will give train
ing to his senses. A soft rubber
ball is very good plaything. He will
get much pleasure from a string of
empty spools. A little box four feet
square and foot high partially
filled with bright sand and some lit
tie tin vessels, such as a small pan,
few bright tincups and spoons
would be fine for him. He should
have plenty of large blocks which
he can build and experiment with
in various ways.
You might make him a large
stuffed doll and call it, Jack" or
some boys name. He can imagine
he is playing with real boy, which
will give him much pleasure.
Avoic the very common mistake
of letting your child know that. you
are worried about his transitory de-
sire for climbing. Worrying about
boy almost invariably has a wrong
effect.
The better way is to show him
that you like to see him have fun in
whatever form he wants it. Then
you are in position where you car
most easily influence him about be.

And he presented Tom Mason

His tone was full of meaning.

Most of us have seen children who
were badly crippled physically as a
result of climbing too far above
mother earth. And sometimes we
meet disabled adult who tells us
that his handicap was caused by a
fall in early childhood.
So we need to be careful and we
should teach our children TO be cau-
tious, but it would be unnecessary
and unwise to prohibit all climbing
among children.
Let US take a case. A mother
writes:
MY two-year-old son is an active,
healthy child and has a large num-
ber of toys OF all kinds, but most
of all he delights in climbing. He
has had several hard falls due to his
climbing and surely am not to have
the Idaily dread of a severe fall
which may leave him crippled for
life. l have given him lessons on
not touching things he climbs on
but he turns to something else and
wants to climb on 1t, perhaps a pan
or tumbler or the bed. Tell me how
to control this habit and what toys
to buy for him."
From your description you have
your boy under very good control
When you tell your boy not to climb
up on q certain thing and he obeys
but soon turns to something else
and climbs on it, this result is con-
sidered natural and good.
1t would be very unwise to dis
courage all climbing, even though it
is true, as you say, that it keeps one
little in suspense sometimes. Climb
ing is good for children and while
1t should be made very clear to your
boy that he is not to muss the beds
by standing on them and that he is
not to climb certain other things
from which you fear he may fall and
which you specify, it is wise to tell
MIN on what things he may climb,
Let him climb up and down the
porch steps in your presence. Have
him go down hands first, sidewise,
etc.
In other words, give him expert
ence in doing things while you are
near to make suggestions and teach
hlm' carefulness so that, when you
are not present, he will be in less
danger because of his experience.
rake him for stroll occasionally
and let him climb up and down some
| NIL. This sort of cooperation in the
thing he likes to do will simply win
MS confidence and make it easy for
you to control his climbing on for
hidden things.
Give him a reasonable amount of
freedom. Do not discourage his
standing on old pans or any objects
which do not take him far off the
ground, because even if he did fail
