CHILD FEEDING IMPORTANT

The seriousness of child feeding is
a question the moment Of which we
are realizing more every day. Stats
Tics telling OF highly increased death
rate after the period Of weaving and
permanent injuries sustained from i'm
proper child feeding, show us that we
need be most cautious about matters
OF food substitution when It comes to
leedlng our children. AS I glance
down the list of foods advocated by
child d1etitians of authority, realize
that retrench food warfare on the
part OF children need not mean food
substitution. AS a matter of fact.
foods advocated for weaned infants
anG children are patriotic foods.
Let US deviate from our real theme
OF substitute cereals long enough to
remark on the paramount value of
that most patriotic food, milk. We
are all well aware that we should pro-
vac quart Of milk day for chill
dfen during the entire period Of
growth and this whom Uncle Sam is
asking us to drink milk.
SUBSTITUTE USED FOR BABY
What about these substitute GER
eals? Barley flour is one we are adj
vocating the use Of and we find this:
II the food OF a 4 to 6 months old in
fant does not digest readily, barley
water may be used instead of plain
water. 1t is made by cooking one-half
tablespoonful of barley flour in the
water for twenty minutes and cooling
before adding the milk. During the
tenth to twelfth month Of child's
life, add barley cruel made with three
tablespoonsful Of barley flour cooked
IN eight ounces Of water. Use Of bar
ley flour Is advocated, made into cruel
to promote ease Of digestion, primar-
lily In the early months of child feed
Ing, also to add to the food value Of
the diet In the later months. Would
not mother be perfectly safe in feed
ing her paralytic son infant food so
long as she follows the principles of
proper cooking and proper combina-
ton Of food materials? And barley
flour, an infant food, is a substitute
cereal.
SECOND YEAR FEEDING
with regard to the child's second
year, we have from good authority:
Oatmeal seems to be one Of the most
valuable cereals for growth, and, un-
der normal conditions, 1t can we'll be
used three or four times a week, at
least Give cereal second year in form
Of a jelly. This is made by cooking
rolled oats, rice or other cereal very
thoroughly -four to six hours) as for
ordinary breakfast food, and then put
ting 1t through fine strainer.

paratiye term, said keokuk man
looking around at 609-611 Main street
this morning.
1t was hard to believe that some
of the garments, hats and shoes piled
on the tables and floor were not
new ones, fresh from store and
camouflaged as old clothes by phi
ianthropic Keokukians.
Overcoats as good as any seen in
Main street In the winter; sweaters
and macinaws as good as new and
as warm as toast; hats and caps
showing wear only on the sweatband
and perhaps not there; shoes with
out a mark except the slightest wear
on the sole; such things are the
type and not the exception in the
big Keokuk drive for old clothes for
the Belgians.
Enough For Big Store.
And there were lots of them.
Imagine counter 100 feet long,
or two counters the length of long
store room. Visualize those counters
piled high with clothing.
That represents the quantity OF
clothes collected in Keokuk for the

two days and delivered at headquar-
tiers by early this morning.
The goods were still coming In
and the deadline was not until 10
o'clock this forenoon, by which time
much more clothing had arrived.
Also, there was a good deal in the
homes of the many women workers
who had collected it in their COM
munities all over the city
In the Old keokuk Way.
This afternoon the boxing was un-
der way, for all the stuff must be
packed into strong boxes for ship
ment to the Belgian relief commits

have the large shipment loaded into

The Belgian relief commission in
New York puts the shipment with
thousands OF others in warehouses
and loads them aboard ships for
Belgium at once. The clothes must
reach their final destination prompt
ly, for winter will soon be upon the
shivering folk under the heel of the
Hun.
Keokuk did this work in her char.
acteristic way, and more than her
share of it, Last year,
one supposed there would be no
more old clothes in Keokuk for sew
eral years, so closely was the town
raked and scraped-but this year
about as much more clothing was
collected The quantity is partly
due to the quality. Folk in Keokuk
did not give what they could never
possibly use, but all they could do |
without, apparently.
