Two things are essential in feeding a

be provided. for relative to its size a
child requires more food than an adult.
Second, food of the sort that viii build

healthy child is growing and gaining In
weight at the rate of about five pounds
year, except during the first year Of
life and for a year or two at puberty
when he should gain about twelve pounds
annually.
Normal health can not be produced on
a limited diet. or on a diet lacking milk.
green vegetables and eggs, which are the
chief tissue building foods. The priceless

vegetables. Every child is better for a

If less than a pint is provided it is a

NeJC Agency VIII
Aid AnaericGnizGtiOn
Work Heredft ter

A new Americanization agency has
been found in the kindergarten. The
discovery of this institutions value Ia
the work of Americanizing the otherwise
foreign portion of American cities, has
been made by a number Of business men.
Letters telling the success Of kinder
gartens, maintained by manufacturers
for the children of their employees, have
been received by the United States
bureau of education.
The great benefit Of using this means
to reach the foreign element is that It
takes the children at the most impress
sionable thine Of life and trains them
In honesty, efficiency and morality. Here
little foreigners may learn Americas
songs and histor and at the same time
absorb it's democratic spirits.
Another beneht pointed out is that the
kindergarten engages the interest Of the

foreign mothers. Teachers have time to
visit their pupils homes and meet the
mothers on ground Of common interest
This leads to the mothers being per-
suaded to come to the monthly mothers
meeting at the kindergarten, where they
meet other mothers interested in the
same problem Of bringing up theiE
children in the right Of way.
One manufacturer has written:
I'VE consider the kindergarten a
nucleus from which to develop all phases
Of welfare work. We believe that kinder
gartsn work IL of untold value In the
development Of industry, loyalty, pa
triotism, civic and social responsibility. -
Another typical statement Is:
II would sooner close our schools than
the kindergarten. We consider 1t the
best form Of training our young people
have teaches loyalty, discipline,
application and industry"

BRITAIN GOES
(. SLOWLY WHILE
WAITING ON us.
Peace League Ticklish Prob
lem for Press and Off
ciaIdOm Now.
PERSUASION IS UNwIsK

LONDON, Jan. EN- gland, its press
and public men, show a belated but
nevertheless solid realization of the IN
wisdom of attempting direct persuasion
Of America on such subjects as the
league of nations, the peace treaty and
the proposed mandate for Turkey.
A few months ago every move in tho
peace battle was followed by immediate
and fulsome comment and opinion in the
editorial columns, and by pronounce
ments by public men.
Today Paris and London and Rome
and Berlin still consider it open season
for comment and word wars when any
emergency or shifting of the pawns OF
peace give cause. But when some new
move is made in the United States, or
some message comes from the white
house there is a visible, almost audible
pause before any opinions are ventured
on the subject
America has broken bounds. and no.
body on this side of the water is sure
lust bow extensive the break is. Certain
American correspondents writing for the
British press reassure John Bull and
tell him that the Estates will come around
all right" Certain prominent Americans
here on official and semi official business
tell similar story. But these statements
fail to carry binding conviction to the
experts Of the written word who arc
lodged in various sanctums along Fleet
street They also fail of complete con-
viction with most of the prominent oc-
cupants of offices along Whitehall.
THINKS AMERICA
WILL COME ACROSS.
Both the editor and the official would
like to believe that Col John Buchan
sized up the situation correctly when
he spoke at an American Correspondents
association luncheon. Buchan referred
to the Biblical analysis Of the three
kinds of meni The one who says 81
CO." and goeth; the one who says "I go"
and goeth not, and, finally, the one who
says "I goeth not but ultimately goeth
The last, he declared, was a Scotch trait,
and in America today this Scotch trait
is dominating
Both the editor and the official would
like to believe that America is merely
displaying a bit Of Scotch caution and
stubbornness but neither can convince
himself entirely Of this. So comment on
America languishes.
Public comment on Americas move,
or refusal to move, on the peace ques-
ton, the league and the mandate, has
not entirely ceased, of course, but IL
has diminished about so per cent, and it
is interlarded with cautiously worded
reservations. If the senate makes some
big move today, it may be day after to.
morrow instead Of tomorrow, before any
real comment appears in the press
Heads get together, evidently, and there
are conferences and careful supervision
of IDEAS. The comment, when it ap-
pears, is much more likely today to rec
ognize Americas right to her own opfn-
ions than 1t was six or eight months
ago.

PARIS, Jan. 9.-France is preparing
for the greatest battle of politics, pol

Joseph Caillaux, former premier ana

reasonable relations with the enemy, will
come to trial before the senate on Jan.

threaten to expose either the secret in

that confronted the French people dur

Intermingled in this great political

very cautious as regards America They

Of estimating the probable reaction in

here and for the most part they are in

any possible chance prove a boomerang.

day, undoubtedly, her battle to re-win

pulse beat Of American opinion, and
until she regains it editors and public
men show desire to proceed slowly and

BONUS ACTION HALTED
BY D|SCORO IN Cop,
Morgan, Author of Land Plan,
Defies Mondell and Calls
a Caucus.

Washington. April 20.-Soldier bonus
legislation, approved short time ago by
the House WAYS and means committee and
involving expenditures of from 81 ,UU,-
OOO. 900 to 50 0O0, 900 900, is staggering
under conditions which threaten the pos
sibility of its adoption at this session OF
Congress.
Republican members of the House will
be called into caucus either Wednesday
or Thursday night to consider contro-
versies and problems which have arisen,
and these controversies and problems are
so severe as TO not only threaten the Re-
publican House harmony but also threaten
the success of the legislation.
Chagrined by the action of the Republi-
cans Of the ways and means committee in
accepting the Mondell scheme to assist
soldiers in obtaining a farm and the re-
lection of his plan on the same subject,
Representative Morgan, of Oklahoma, OBJ
tanned the necessary 40 members to sign
the caucus call. He presented it TO Repre-
sentative Towner, chairman OF the caucus,
and unless he can be induced TO withdraw
it the caucus must now be held. A nd he
insisted the time for conferences with
Representative Mondell and other Re-
publican leaders in the House was over
and that he would insist on the caucus.
Quite as much discord and protest has
arisen among a small insurgent group of
the House Republicans who have or
ganized to fight the plan to raise the
necessary revenue through a tax on
turnover sales" and who, led by Repre-
sentative johnson, OF North Dakota, in
sist the revenue must be obtained through
tax on war profits.
Within the ways and means committee
further controversy has arisen because one
small Republican group, led by Repre-
sentative Fordney, chairman, is now pro-
posing To increase the cash bonus from 81
TO sI25 for each day of service, and
another Republican group with Demo
cratic support is prepared to stand out
for the original proposal of 81 day.
