ment of Agriculture)
If child is below its proper weight
after it reaches the age of twelve, the
chances are much against its ever De-
coming normal, child specialists say;
yet several million American children
some put the number at 100000
are below weight today. Recent sur
veys made in different parts OF the
United States, both in the city ana
in the country, disclose the fact that
10 to 80 per cent of the school children
In each community surveyed weigh at
least 10 per cent less than they
should. Epidemics find these under
weight children easy victims, and large
numbers die from contagious diseases
each year, that might have lived II
their bodies had been in normal con-
dition when they were exposed to the
contagion.
Not Quantity, but Kind, Of Food.
1t is not a question of the amount
of food. provided for the American
child who is undernourished, but Oh
the kind, as the proportion in the fam-
lilies of the well-to-do is about as large
as that in the poorer districts. An
effort is now being made by various
agencies to teach children ana their
parents the kind of food that shouiu
be given children and the success
that is attending the effort is encouras-
ing. The thing stressed most III
these campaigns is that children must
have plenty of milk. Give an abund-
ance of that food, and you have gone
a long way in giving chiid ms
chance for health. A quart OF mix
day for every child is not too much,
say nutrition specialists of the uniteu
States Department OF Aerlcui.uie'
for milk helps child to grow 10 keep
we'll, and to build up strong, Vieor-
GUS body.
Milk. being a liquid, is sometimes
classed with water, tea, ana cohee'
simply as a beverage, by those VINO
do not understand its value as 1oou.
This is a great mistake. If all the
water were to be driven from quar-
of tea or coffee. almost nothing would
be left and the little that remaiheu
would have practically no Vaiue do
food. If, on the other hand, the wa
ter were driven from quart OF whoie
milk, there would be left about nan
cupful of the very best food SUD
stances, including butterfat ana
kind of sugar not so sweet as granu-
lated sugar and known as milk
sugar." together with other materials
needed to make muscles, bones, teeth
and other parts of the body. All
these valuable food substances are
ordinarily either dissolved or hoatihe
in the water of milk. MIX is aiso
very important for providing ihe
growth-promoting substance or VIA

FRUITS ARE OF IMPORTANCE
Valuable Chiefly Because fhey sup
ply Growth-Stimulatin and
CIRCULATING Substances.

The uses of fruits in the diet are
much the same as those of green veee-
tables though, unlike most vegetables,
they have a considerable percentage
of sugar, especially when they are
dried. and sugar is a quickly absorbed
fuel food. Like vegetables, they have
value because they contribute some of
the nitrogen required for tissue build
ing and repair, and some energy, 1000
specialists of the United states De-
partment of Agriculture say. How
over they are valuable chiefly because
thew supply growth-stimulating and
body-regulatipg substances and also
mineral matter needed for bone and
for many other purposes. The guam
tity of these materials in fruits and
vegetables is small, it is true, but
large in comparison with the amount
In many other common foods.

but If that cannot be had 1t is better
to use clean fresh skim milk than
dirty or questionable whole milk. A
quart of skim milk, even separator
skim milk, contains about a third Of
cupful of solid food, which Is near
ly all there was In the whole milk,
except the bntterfat. In feeding skim
milk, however. 1t is necessary to make
up for the missing butterfat by Civ
ing the child plenty of butter to eat.
If 1t is absolutely impossible to get
fresh milk, then condensed. powdered,
or evaperated milk may be used.
Contains Much Lime.
Compared with most other foods,
milk contains much lime, but very lit
tie iron. Spinach and other green
vegetables and egg yolks, on the other
hand, are very rich in iron. This Is

They surely need this lesson today,
more than ever before. 1t is high
time for some people to stop, take
breath and look and listen.
There is scarcely a day passing
now that report is not started that

limits of our town and country. The
day after our young people have en-
joyed dance the air is lurid with re-
ports of misbehavior on the part of
the young ladies taking part and
when you try to get at the truth it's
the same old story of somebody told

partly responsible for being talked
;about by trying to keep step with the

cuse for any man or woman repeat

some young lady. A good motto to
follow is not to repeat anything you
hear unless you are sure it's true and
if it will injure anyone don't repeat
it at all.
Think it over, you will not lose

Since the creation of man youth

to them that they, by their careless

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
From Specialists Correspondence
With Farmers

What varieties of peaches should
plant for markets. l.. NJ, Pine
wood.
l would suggest that you plant the
following named varieties if you are
growing fruit for local market: May
flower, Mamie Ross, Greensboro, Car
men Belle of Georgia, and Elberta.
There is more demand for the Belle
of Georgia and Elberta than for the
earlier varieties, therefore, I would
plant more Of these. If you are grow
ing peaches for shipping to the north
ern markets, then it would be better
to confne your paintings to Hiley,
Bell of Georgia and Elberta.
Tell me about the varieties of Ro-
tundifolia grapes.-W. j. X, Flor
ence, Ala.
The James with US is very fine
grape. The Flowers is Of poor quail
ity, but on account of its being extra
late I believe it should have place
in every variety vineyard. 1t is good
as dessert variety. The Eden is the
most prolific variety we have ever
grown; sometimes the bushes have as
many as sixty or more berries. The
LaSalle has done exceptionally we'll
and I believe is one of the best in
equality, but it is not so prolific as
some of the others.
Please give advice on the use of
bone meal.-T. S. L., Society Hill.
Bone meal contains approximately
% percent phosphoric acid while the
commercial acid phosphate usually
has only 16 percent phosphoric acid.
believe you will get just as good re-
suits from the use of acid phosphate
in combination with nitrate Of soda,
cottonsead meal or dried blood as
your source of ammonia as you will
from the use of bone meal. would
suggest that you use fertilizer an
alyzing about percent phosphoric
acid, percent nitrogen, and per
cent potash instead Of bone meal
alone.
Please advise me in regard to de-
stroying earth worns.-E. B. H., Hol-
ly Hill.
The earth worm may be easily de-
stroyed in pots and boxes where you
are growing plants by applying
strong lime water. Take one pound
Of stone lime and slack in a small
quantity of water; then dilute to three
gallons of water and pour a tumbler-
full of this solution in each pot: In
few minutes you will notice the
worms Will come to the surface and
will turn light colored.
