FNEAITH TAH XS
BY WILLIAM u. BRADY r1p:

Feeding the Growing Youngsters.
Boys and girls from to IA years
OF age expend a tremendous total
OF energy every day in two very
vital and important ways, namely,
playing and growing. A real live
boy or girl at this age is pretty
busy all day, and often the child
uses up considerably more energy
in the day than does the parent.
Then, too, the parent is all through
growing, whereas the chile is just
getting under way with that ener-
gy-consuming process. Therefore
it is meet and just that the live
child should eat as much or per-
haps a little more than the parent
requires.
All right then. children, let us
draw up a SORT of feeding schedule
to fall back on in case father or
mother is afflicted with any super
stitions concerning a feller's food
requirements.
Right of the reel be it resolved,
seconded and duly recorded that
four meals a day are none too
many for a live boy or girl, al
though three are often one too
many for dad or mother.
Second reel: Milk, preferably
raw fresh milk, but pasteurized if
the source of supply is question
able, or even boiled five minutes if
refrigeration is lacking at any
stage from COW to kitchen. but,
anyway, milk. Milk is the whole
feature of the reel Every boy or
girl who is a live one, who wishes
to grow we'll and keep well, should
make it a point to drink a quart of
milk a day.
Milk gives much energy. opposes
intestinal disturbances and numer-
Gus small ailments, is rich in Vita
mines which favor natural growth
and nutrition, and constitutes
wholesome beverage to use instead
OF getting into the tea or coffee or
cocoa habit. Children under Is
have no business taking tea or cof-
fee, and even cocoa is less desir-
able than milk.
For breakfast fair sample menu
includes. first, whatever steWed or
fresh fruit is in season. Then a
dish of any home cooked cereal
with cream, and, if desired, sugar.
Then an egg, cooked to suit indi-
vidual taste; some bread and but
ter or toast, and one or two glasses
of milk.

pretty dress. But we will soon
remedy the damage we have
wrought. Help her to the auto,
Dayton; get US home at once"
"Oh. it was not your fault, miss!
You see, I am not used to the
city" uttered Milly, brokenly and
ingeniOusly. So dismal was her
plight in her own estimation. how
ever, that she was all absorbed in
it and was in the automobile be-
fore she realized it, and Miss
Bland was wiping the spots from
her pretty face with her handker-
chief, while her brother wondered
that no such artless wild rose face
had come into his life before.
MilIy was charmed with the
stately but warm-hearted' Helena
Bland, who took her to her room
at her sumptuous home and called
in the services of maid and 1aun-
dress to make Milly almost pre-
sentable again.
You will do very well, dear. I'M
til morning." Miss Bland assured
her. Then l shall call for you
and we will duplicate your dam

''Oh, indeed. No, no." answered
Milly impetuously. why, 1 can
whiten the slippers, and unless you
look close you can hardly notice
the splotches on the dress. You
have been too kind already" But
Miss Bland not only took Mil1y TO
her cousins home in the automo-
bile. but called next morning and
showed her a shopping experience
that filed her unsophisticated lit
tie heart with delight.

>Milly was seated in Miss BANDS
boudoir when for the first time she
observed a framed photograph.

Miss Bland uttered a gasp and
turned pale. "a fancied resem-

have seen him often. He is the
manager OF the coal mine down
our way. He does not go around
much. but he plays the organ at
the church. Oh, it is Alden Rem
frew, surely!"
The lady held to a chair for sun
port. She questioned Milly close
ly. There was awakened in her
soul hope, for two years previous
a favored sutton, Alden Renfrew,
had lost his fortune in a day. had
felt himself no match for the peer
less woman he loved, and had
gone away to lose himself in the
great world outside.
Helena Bland loved him so dear
ly that within month they were
brought together again. Dayton
Bland was so captivated with Milly
that he asked her TO join him in a
double wedding.

Questions and Answers.

A Fat Girl Interested.-I am II
years old, 81 inches tall and weigh
159 pounds. Is that the normal
weight for a girl of my age and
height? If not, what is? Do SOM
ersaults tend to reduce excess fat =?
E.K.v.
Answer-The average weight of
girls II years old and 67 inches tall
is lao pounds, so you are trihe
more than 10 per cent too heavy.
Somersaults are rather good to
give fat folks better morale to help
them come back, but will scarcely
reduce fat, not being what you can
call exercise. FIetcherize, Miss v.
That will take care of your slight
excess of weight. Read Horace
FIetcher's 1.-THE New Epicure,"
which you should find in any public
library.
To spondents-Dr. Brady
wishes to remind his correspond
ents that whenever a personal re-
ply is desired, a self-addressed en-
velope, with a stamp on it, must
accompany the request for infor-
nation. Loose stamps will not do.
The time that would be required to
affix stamps and address envelopes,
etc, would be too great, as there
are a large number of letters re-
ceiVed daily.

1t was not the fault of MiIly, for
there was a sharp curve at the
street corner and she could not
very well discern that a noiseIesS
automobile was rounding the cir
Gle. All her attention was be-
slowed upon herself. and with a
reason. She had just arrived on
the train from her village home to
visit a cousin in the city. She was
on the way to her now. There had
been a heavy rain earlier in the
day and the roadway was wet and
slippery and its pot holes were full
of muddy water and slime.
In her neat-fitting new dress,
dazzling white shoes and stockings
about as fair a sight to view as
one would meet in a days journey.
She suggested just what she was
IA lovely country flower in bud
ding bloom. Her sparkling eyes
and joyous face told that every
motion she made responded to a
happy heart. A proud one, too,
for this was the first real full out
fit. all new. that MiIly had ever
possessed. It represented her Der
~ money af d whole season.
A little frown Of dismay lowered
above the charmingly-di mpled
cheeks as 1Iilly paused at the curb
and surveyed the forbidding road
way. Then her eyes picked out a
possible carefully selected tip-toe
route which might land her across

@. What part of the worlds
wealth was used up during the
war? X. 3. o.
A. The wealth of the world is es-
timated by financial experts to be
$50 billion dollars. The war cost
the world 200 billions. So does it
appear that more than a fourth Of
the worlds wealth was consum-
ed in the prosecution of the war.
@. Is a zebra white with black
stripes or black with white
stripes? X. H.
A. The bureau of animal industry
informs us that the white is the
ground plan of the zebra and the
black stripes are imposed upon It..
1t is white with black stripes.
O. Before the advent of the white
man did the Indians of America
shave? G. r.
A. The Indians had no razors or
instrument that would serve the
purpose of razors before the com"
ing of the whites. Their boards
were naturally very thin, and the
practice was quite general to pluck
out by the roots those hairs which
appeared on the. face.
@. May mail now go uncensored
to all the countries in Europe? S.
L. T.
A. With the clearing up of the
situation in Hungary, there is now
virtually no restriction on mail to
Europe. Letters to Germany, for in
stance, may go through uncensor-
ed.
@. What division in the army had
the highest percentage OF national
guard troops. K. G. S.
A. The Twenty-eighth division
was made up almost entirely of
Pennsylvania national guardsmen
and came nearer being an unadul-
terated organization of national
guardsmen than any other. The
England troops and the Twenty
seventh of New York troops, fol-
lowed closely.

@. If one were sent to the brook
with a FIVE gallon can and three
gallon can. and told to bring back
four measured gallons OF water,
how could he do it?
This was one of the questions
asked by the psychological experts
Of the war department in their
tests for officers. One answer is
that the five gallon can might be
filled and three gallons poured
from it into the three gallon can.
This should be emptied and the re-
naming two gallons in the five
gallon can poured into the three
gallon can. Then the five gallon
can should be filled, and one gal
lon poured from it into the three
gallon can. thus filling the latter.
There would remain four measur-
ed gallons in the five gallon can.
Q. Can you give me the origin of
the names Arkansas and Kansas,
and why should the former be pro-
nouHced Arkansaw? w. l.
A. kansas" is Indian for
smoky water" The French first
owned this territory and first
wrote this name When it appeared
in print the Frenchman, of course,
in accordance with the rules of his
language. declined to pronounce
the final IS" So it became "Kansa."
"Arc" in French means bow" So
Arkansas means THE bow of the
smoky water" The legislature of
Arkansas has declared "Arkans\w"
the proper pronunciation of that
word.
Q. What is the origin of the
term "tips?" H. B. o.
A. Nearly a hundred -ears ago
the proprietor of the Kings Head
Coffee House in London placed a
box by the door on which he
wrote ito insure prompt service"
His patrons dropped coins into this
box. The word tips" is taken from
the first letter in each word of this
phrase.
