What q Mother Should Know

X few simple rules for feeding chil- dren are laid down by Jessa anime Chapman Williams, in Good House. keeping as follows:
 If children are allowed to eat when overtired. Indigestion results. Thirstiness is often mistaken for hun ger. Four meals day are needed until the child, is five years old. But see. also. that he drinks plenty of water.
 If the children refuse plain bread and milk between meals. give them nothing. They are evidently not hun gry.
 There is often too great variety of food in the child's diet. He is hap pier with less choice.
 Tt is a serious offense to offer a child, for whom you are not respon- sible, food of any description You may seriously upset him.
 Allow plenty of time for the child to eat, If he plays with his food, re-

CONNECTICUT CASUALTIES.

From the office of the Adjutant- General in Washington comes the re- port that 27 men from Winsted and 4 from Torrington have been wounI- ed at the American section of the front in France. These two cities have thereby won an able dis tinction. Their sons have taken part in the greatest of all battles, have been wounded while fighting for the great est of all causes, and their names will be inscribed on the greatest of all rolls of honor It is of interest to note the names of those from Torrington who are known to have been wounded. We find among the first such names as Kanecki. Aust, Lam bert, Maynard, Bartlett. Meyer, Grohs, Mantenffcl Murphy and Mcclure. We have there names of Americans descended from French, British, Irish, Polish and Ger man ancestors But they are "ll mericans. That is the splendid thing about it.

The Man Who Found Himself.

The Man Who Found Himself
 Roger Smurd was d poor. but honest young man, with all the virtues and none of the vices. He was always the first to arrive at the office and gen crally worked overtime, and his employer praised him gen crousIy and reduced his salary for the duration of the war. Never in his life had Roger either spccu'ated smoked or fiirtc0.
 One Thursday evening on his way home from a lecture on titled, How to Further Your Employers Interests Without BeinE Too Forward" ;" he picked up a lace handkerchief from the pavement, and, raising his hat politely, offered it to q thin little woman with a pointy chin and a crooked nose, re- marking as he did so, Did you drop this. lady?"
 She slared at him gowpishly.
 How dare you try to fiirt with me- Don't you suppose I'm tip to your tricks ?" And she walked haughtily on, and Roger Snurd offered the hand kerchief to q tall, bony wo- man with q pug nose and q cast in one eye, remarking as he did so, Did you drop this, lady?''
 "On your way. shrimp. be- fore I hand you one on tho point of the chin that'Il lay you out for the count" she hissed.
 Not yet daunted. he offered the handkerchief (redoubling his efforts because by this time he hal discovered thirty cents in dimes tied in one corner of it) to a fat woman with two and a half clins; a, woman with a. slight hump: and a wo- man with a glass eye, remark ing each time as he did so, Did you drop this. lady?" They all threatened to call an officer.
 For the first time in his life. Roger Smurd was really angry. He resolved, instead Of adver- tisine the finding of the three dimes, to speculate with them; and the next day he bought thirty cents worth of A and " peanut butter stock, which immediately soared in value and before supper time had netted him two thousand dol lars. He gave up his position, made a fortune in the stock exchange became an arran! firt and lived happily ever after. And the moral is: You cant keep 9 good man down. Copyright 1918 by George
