food is eaten, as the appetite is SOON
er satisfied and in consequence nc food
is wasted. A child should never be al
lowed to hurry or to eat when excited /;
forcing a child to eat after excitement
and play will often cause serious diges-
tive disturbances.
For a child from two to three,
orange juice. prune juice, the pulp of
stewed prunes, baked apple and IN
times scraped raw apple may be given
but never just before or just after a
feeding Of milk.
The yolk Of egg contains the growth
stlmulant which all young animals
should have in some form. Milk, but
ter, cream, green leaves of various
plants as well as clover and alfalfa
contain this wonderful growing prin-
ciple.
Cereals Of various kinds long and
well cooked, If strained of coarse fiber
will make a good food for the young
child.
Sweets are craved by all children
and they should have them In the most
digestible form which will be sufi-
clently satisfying, that is in dried fruit
like prunes. figs, raisins and apricots.
Later a child may have a piece Of
wholesome candy after n meal. once OF
twice n week, but n child is better in
every way to get its sugar from fruit
Dry toast. stale bread, graham
crackers and zwieback are all good
breads for little people.
Simple desserts should not be giver
until the child is two years old. Gus
tards, baked fruit with cream, rice
cooked in milk and ripe fresh fruit
viii make a sufficient variety. Pastry
should never be given to a child unit
after ten years Of age.
The breakfast may be n little meal
but at noon the food should be tn,
heartiest with a supper Of simpl,
bread and milk, milk toast or som
light, easily digested food like rice ant

"tTH not miss a treat like this the
coyote said.
"And despite the pleadings of the
little prairie dog, the coyote thought
of the delicious meal he would have,
and Master Prairie Dogs cheerful lit
tie life was over.
"After he had been missing from
the home of the prairie dogs they
were very, very careful not to wander
way where there might be any chance
of danger.
Grandmother Prairie Dog told them
the story of the farmer who had hated
the prairie dogs for making so many,
many holes.
1T was a sad story, but they heard
it through, so they would take pains
to make their holes, as far as possible,
away from farms.
""This farmer Grandmother Prai-
RE told them, was SO G be-
cause so many holes were made in his
grounds that he vowed he would get
rid of the prairie dogs.
"'Now, you know quite well,' said
Grandmother Prairie, that we never
hurt anyone. We're happy and jolly
and gay. We love each other and our
neighbors. The only thing that we
do that annoys the farmer is that we
make so many holes
"But how are we to help doing
that? asked the little prairie dogs.
"fWe must make them away from
where we think we can be harmed,
said Grandmother Prairie.
""This farmer that I'm telling you
about, put poisoned grain and wheat
into our holes.
"'Of course, we ate it, at least most
of us did, for we thought it was
thoughtful of him, and we barked our
thanks delightedly. We also wagged
our little tails.
"But the farmer hadn't stayed to
hear our thanks. He had another pur-
pose in his mind. This we soon found
out.
"I had had q very good meal only
a short time before this, and wasn't in
the least scrap hungry. So I didn't
eat any of the poisoned food.

Battle Against Dry Rot.

Dry rot is a wood disease that is
giving serious trouble in some locali-
ties and engineers are prescribing pre-
ventive and curative remedies. II is
especially urged that every trace of
the infection be removed from timber
for buildings. The infected spots are
to be oiled to. retain the spores and
are then to be completely removed
and burned. The diseased wood is to
be kept from contact with other build
ing material, while saws used in cut
ting it are to be afterward sterilized.

Popular Sweaters.

1t is predicted that the coming sum-

that one cannot be really well dressed
and own only one or two. They
range from the short hand-knitted kind
to the long silk and fiber silk ones,
and in all colors. Sweaters may have
sleeves or be sleeveless, and it is
thought that they will eventually take
the place of the slip-over sports blouse.

New Ideas in Hats.

Hats change a little every week.
Crowns are lower and the wingline Of
the brim is nor general than it was.
The tall, heavy sort of hat with a high
draped crown is less popular. The
newest hatpins are of crystal, not
pearl, and aigrettes are not the best
wear as trimming, although one sees
them to a certain extent. Tulle is used
a good deal in millinery, but practical
women choose rather plain satin as be-
ing less perishable. Suede gloves are
dress wear, and strong tan KID make
the smartest and best wear for hard
going.
