TABLE FOOD FOR INFANT
FOOD.

Great recklessness is shown at
times in substituting ordinary table
food for infant food. Small chill
dren are frequently given practically
anything on the table simply be-
cause they cried for it or because
proper food had not been prepared
for them. / have heard mothers
smilingly remark that baby could
eat anything A small child is no
more capable of digesting adult
food than it is doing the work of an
adult. In fact. most OF the bowel
troubles in children come from Civ
ing improper food or too much food.
A child should depend mainly on
milk until il is two years old. Not
until il is three years old should 1t
be fed ordinary table food and even
then the food must be selected with
great care The average child be
tween the age of one and two-and-a-
half years may have the following
foods. Stale bread alone or in milk
with a little butter on it, crackers;
rice with milk; beef tea or chicken
broth; orange juice: baked apple;
small quantity Of baked potato, and
a chicken bone without meat may
be sucked The latter IS beneficial

notes the dow OF saliva If the
child is inclined 10 be COnStipated
the juice and the soft pulp of prunes
may be given, and when II has from
Is 10 Is teeth a small amount Of
easily digested meat may be taken.
After the child IS twO-and-a- half
years old the following foods should
be added 10 the diet Soft boiled
egg. any OF the usual brea kfast
foods, baked potato; bread and but

food or highly seasoned foods. A

sugar candy, but no child should be
allowed 10 be constantly mincing be

Her mother came and caught her,
And whipped her little daughter
For spelling her nice new clothes"
HUSS JUNIOR slid off from be-

DO you continue on your way while

The good knight, who saw
through the window what was go

"As thou sayest. little comrade,"
and rode off toward the castle on
the rocks, while Puss Junior knock

Mrs. Flinders laughed when She
saw our little hero

Poor little Polly was still crying.
so Puss placed his hand upon his
sword. and said haughtily. Why
is this maiden in Distress" You
see, he imagine he was a Knight
OF the Round Table for the mo-
ment.

Flinders. checking her laughter and
patting Puss on the head, my little
daughter was disObedient: that was
the reason she was punished"
"Ah. said Puss, Il have made a
mistake. l ask your pardon"
At this, little Polly Flinders

about him. Il wish ! had n pussy

would every little boy or girl, l
guess. But Puss replied. Il am on
my way to seek adventure. and I
may not tarry long" Puss. you
see, was unconsciously acquiring
the manner of a knight in converse

Then he bowed and went on his
way, following the path that led
TO the great castle. But before ne

was set upon by two robbers He
made a desperate struggle to cs-
cape, but was finally ovcrpowcrcd.
