THE INVITATION.

Fall went right along in Meadow

The nippy little winds were getting
too sharp to be pleasant any longer
in the mornings. Brrrrr! "The frost
certainly was on the pumpkin and the
corn" to Colby Coon's and Flop
Fieldmouse's sorrow, twas in the
shock" The juicy ears in Farmer
Smiths sweet patch were no more
Just field corn, drying and hardening
for the cows and horses to eat dur

but Wally Woodchuck had only
gleanings from the grain fields, al

FEEDING The
SCHOOL Child
If Your Child Is Restless
And irritable 1t Needs
Something

A healthy, normal, properly trained
child will eat heartily of plain food
set before him three times a day. II
the right kind of food is prepared
property and served regularly and he
is not permitted to eat between meals,
the average child will remain well, he
will have happy, cheerful DISPOSE
ton, and will develop normally, ply
sically and mentally.
The child who is underweight and
poorly nourished is not getting enough
food material or it is not properly pre-
pared; or the diet does not contain
sufficient body building materials
such as milk, meat, and green vegeta
bles. Perhaps there is too much OF
starch and sweets. In occasional in
stances the underweight child is over
fed.
The child who is overweight (1C
per cent or more) is getting too much
food, especially of the sugars and
starches and perhaps too little exer
else. II In addition to the overweight,
he is soft and white, there is also
deficiency of the bone and muscle
building material in his diet. This
child needs an abundance of green
vegetables, fresh fruit. lean meat, with
a very small quantity of bread, pota,
toes and other starchy foods, and lit
tie or no sugar or fat.
The child VINO has poor teeth needs
foods strong Ia mineral salts, spinach
and other green vegetables, milk and
oranges
The child who refuses plain, sub
stsntIal food and demands sweets and
fancy food is the victim of improper
habits Of feeding him. Such child
should be refused all sweets. given nc
food Of any sort between meals and
only plain food given him at meal
time. II he refuses let him go hun
ry until the next meal time.
The child who demands food be
tween meals may be suffering from in
digestion, from too much food or he
may be actually needing food. In
either event slice of plain dry bread
or toast will relieve the discomfort
and will not encourage the habit OF
piecing. A glass of milk may be
given with the bread to the child who
is underweight.
The child who is restless at night,
who grinds his teeth in his sleep, OF
who is peeyish as a result of the loss
OF sleep is suffering from intestinal
indigestion due to improper food and
bad habits of eating. This child
should be put on a severely plain diet
restricted to the simplest and most
easily digested foods; the evening
meal limited to semiliquid foods, Gus
tards, bread and milk. and the bowels
given special attention. If the diff
Guilty is not overcome this child
should be taken to physician, as he
may have an ailment needing medical
attention
The child who is cross and irrita.
Bile, lazy, IistIess, nervous or hateful,
needs a change of diet, or he is sick
and needs the attention of a physi
clan. Instead Of furnishing this child
find out what it is that is wrong with
him. The proper food and regular
habits will work wonders with .
childs tendency to bad temper Not
only the health, the weight, the physi
cal and mental development of chill
dren (and adults, but their DISPOSE.
ton depends greatly on how and what
they are fed.
