NO CHANGE IS GIVEN
Mexican Merchants Refuse to

Silver Coins Are So Valuable They Are

more than the face value Of the coins,
so this money has been boarded by
many persons and sold for their silver
content.
The result Is that Gambia" or
change, has disappeared and persons
who buy or sell are forced to pay from

brokers. Most merchants refuse to
make small sales If they are forced to
give change, asserting they would lose
money in the transaction.
The "azteca," or Mexican 20-peso
piece (gOld) is practically useless as
money In stores or cafes when the
purchase is for a small amount.
81 might as well be broke as have
an azteca," complained an American
who was hungry and could not find a
cafe to change his gold. Later he hit
upon a unique scheme. He deposited
the "aZteca" with the cafe proprietor
and proceeded to eat at intervals until
he had no more credit, which, with
prevailing prices, was not long time.

Food for Young Children.

A little child who is carefully fed,
receives each day at least one food
from each OF the following groups ::
Milk. or dishes made of milk; fish,
poultry. and eggs.
Bread and other cereal foods. But
ter and other wholesome fats. Veg
atables and fruits. Simple sweets.
Milk. the natural food for the child,
is the most important. A quart of milk
4 day is the usual required allowance.
The greater part Of this Is given as
drink or on cereals. or with bread,
Us bread and milk.
Milk is served on fruits that are
mildly acid, such as pears, baked ap-
pies and berries. Milk Is used in
soups, custards. junkets and in the
place of wafer for gruels and cereals.
Compared with other foods milk
contains much lime but little iron. For
this reason egg yolk is always much
needed food To supply the iron. Spin
ach is also rich in iron.
MIX. besides its other good prop
critics. contains a substance which pro-
notes growth. There is apparently no
food which can serve so well as a
basis for the diet Of the healthy child.
Bread and milk may well be the
chief, if not the only dish. in the sup
per for little children. If the milk is
not rich, spread the bread with butter.
Bread should be at least twenty-four
hours old. Toast or crackers may he
served occasionally.
Cereals well cooked TO soften the
fiber. make especially good breakfast
dishes as we'll as desserts. Cereals
may he cooked in skim milk, thus civ
ing the child the additional nourish-
ment of the milk which is as good as
whole milk if bit of butter is
added.
Rice baked In slow oven will alb
sorb six times its volume of skim milk.
With few rasins and bit of sugar
this makes an ideal dessert.
Other than fresh milk, such as con-
densed evapOrated or powdered milk
should never be USED for children when
IL is possible to get the fresh milk.
Another way to serve milk to chill
dren is in milk soups. The following
Is good recipe which may be varied
with any thoroughly cooked and riced
vegetable: Take two cupfuls Of milk
one tablespoonful each of flour and
butter well mixed a little salt and
twO-thirds of a cupful Of mashed
vegetable. Cook until smooth and not
too thick. II may be thinned If a
