WHOLESOME FOOD FOR CHILD
Liking for Large Range Of Foods 10
Desirable for Diet and Best
Table Manners,

A meal In which all the important
kinds of food are represented tends to
keep the child in good condition and
to give him good habits of eating,
food specialists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture say. The
liking for a large range Of foods Is
desirable from the standpoint of diet
and also of manners. for 1t helps to
prevent a person from becoming q dis
agreeable table cOmpanion-one who
is "fuSsy" about his food. Meals that
are planned carefully help also to
give the child some little idea of
what those who know most about
foods have In mind when they speak
of a "balanced"-Or. better, a rightly
chosen"-ration. With children 1t Is
far more important to suggest the
value of such a ration by the charac-
ter Of the meals given to them than
to try to ten them what 1t is or to
what extent it has been worked out.

Not Wise to Put Water on Var.

Vacuum Cleaner or Brush Is Most
Effective for UphoIstery-Leath-

and Look Better II Oiled.

The varnish on some furniture Is SO
hard and smooth hat finger marks
and sOiled places may be removed with
q cloth wrung out Of lukewarm suds
made with neutral soap and the finish
restored by rubbing with a cloth on
which a few drops of light lubricating
oil OF furniture polish has been
sprinkled. In many cases this Is a
good method to use on the tops Of
dining tables, but in general it Is un-
wise to put water on vanished, oiled,
or waxed surfaces. Painted and
enameled furniture may, of course, be
washed like any other surface 80 fin
ished.
For upholstery either q u
cleaner or a brush is most effective.
A soft brush is best for velvet or
~velours, a sitter one for tapestry and
other strong. firm materials, and a
pointed n for tufted upholstery. If
convenient upholstered furniture
should be taken Out Of doors occa.
sionally and beaten with a fiat carpet

by the following methods: The ar
ticle to be cleaned Is first covered with
a cloth that has been dipped In water
and wrung as dry as possible, then
beaten with a fat beater, the dust be-
Ing taken up by the damp cloth.
Leather furniture coverings last
longer and look better If rubbed oc-
casiOnally with castor Oil or a COM
mercial leather polish to restore the
oil that gradually dries out. The liq-
uid should be well rubbed In and any ]
exces wiped off the surface. other
wise this film of oil will collect and
hold dirt, which will darken the leath-
