prophet Several days before Christ
mas a crowd of newspaper men and
politicians gathered around Prof.
Morrison on the fifth floor of the
City Hall and they wanted to know
what kind Of weather he proposed to
give US for Christmas and, after look
ing wise for a few minutes, he pulled
out his rabbit foot from his vest
pocket and after fumbling it, he de-
clared that We would have plenty of
snow for Christmas, and when
that disappeared after Christmas he
predicted that we would have more
snow and cold weather for New
Years. Prof. Morrison has acquired

a king had no right to spend so much

Indoor air is rendered impure by
the people who breathe it. It is also
further made impure and dangerous
by dust, gases and smoke and by
illuminaHts, such as open air gas
burners. These can be overcome by
admitting fresh outside air all the
time.
Many parents have yet to learn
that to deprive their children of fresh
air is quite as dangerous as to de-
prive them of sufficient food.

THE cHILDREN'S BUREAU, U. S.

Jan. 8, 1919.

That the new national conscious
ness of children's needs developed by
children's year has began to show
permanent results is indicated in the
annual report of the Chidren's Bu-
rsau, U. s. Department of Labor,
which has just been made public. The
campaign was inaugurated with the
beginning of the second year of the
war in an effort to save babies lives
and to raise the standards for the
health, education. and work of older
children. The work has been done IN
cooperation with the child welfare
committees of the Council of Ma
tiOnal Defense. sit is impossible, "
Miss Julia C. Lathrop, chief of the
Children's Bureau, writes, ''to speak
with too much appreciation of the
power of this great body of volun-
teers."
Between six and seven million chill
dren have been weighed and meas
ured. Many local committees have
succeeded in providing follow-up
measures to help parents in their en-
deavOrs to remedy defects which the
tests have revealed. Scientific diets
have been prescribed for many Of the
children whose. examinations midi
Gated that they were undernourished.
In a number of places public funds
have been appropriated for perma-
nent work for children as q result Of
the ehildren's year, and many health
eenters, prenatal clinics, trsyeling
clinics, and like measures for the bet
ter care of children have been estab-
hshed.
Through the weighing and meaur-
ing tests, the report points out, gen.
eral attention has for the first time
been drawn to the needs Of the child
Of pre-schOol age, long known Is the
neglected age" The claims of in
fants and the needs of mothers for
better prenatal and confinement care
have been given wide publicity by

FEEDING THE CHILD.

1t is a mistake not to give the
growing child a ration of milk with
each meal Of the day. And along
with this there should be in proper
proportion those articles of food that
go to make up what may be called a
well chosen diet.
Experience has taught us that hu-
man beings thrive best on what is
commonly called a mixed diet of
animal and vegetable foods. It is
from a diet of this kind that the
body can most readily obtain the ma
terials it needs for growth and re-
pair of waste.
The common foods which contain
and, therefore, viii supply the neces-
sary food elements, are as follows:
Fruits and Vegetables-These in
clude apples, berries, bananas,
oranges, etc, spinach, turnips, toma-
toes, melons, cabbage, green beans,
peas, green corn, and many others.
These supply the minerals needed
for building the body and for keep
ing it in good working condition; they
also supply needed acids which pre-
vent constipation and serve other
useful purposes ,sssts.
Meats and Meat Substitutes-Are
the foods rich in protein. They in
elude moderately fat meats, milk,
poultry, fish, eggs, dried beans or
peas, and some of the nuts. They
provide body building material
Cereals-These are rich in the
starehes or fat producing material
and come near to being complete
foods. However, it would not y be
either wise or safe to live exclusive
Iy on wheat, rice, barley, cats and
corn all the time. Potatoes and sweet
potatoes are also in this. class j
Foods Rich in Fats-Baeon. salt
pork, butter, oil, suet, lard, cream.
etc. While there are rich in fats,
they are not fat producing. but are
heat producing foods They are
more important sources of body fuel,
used in moderate portions add both
richness and favor to dishes that
without them would not .taste
good
The important thing, however, is
variety both in the selection Of foods
served and in the manner of their
Potatoes, for example,
