A nutrition expert is doing her CHEEKY
bit to enlighten the old-fashioned parent.
She asserts that children should not be
made to eat what they do not like, but
that they should be made to like the food
they ought to eat. This would be her
way: If ON some occasion a refractory
child turns up its nose at the wholesome
dishes prepared for him, just dress up
the unwanted articles of food and sing
little rhymes about them and the young
ster viii eat them with zest." Little
by little is life simplifed. No doubt
every book on child feeding will soon
contain appropriate verses for bread
crusts, spinach or carrots and other
things which are not always preferred
to dessert or candy. also designs for the
latest style in dressing up a bowl of
broad and milk or dish of cereal.

Mr.. Clarke Will Work for the League

Ever since the plan for the
League Of Nations was laid before
the world John Hessin Clarke of Ohio
has been one OF its warmest advo-
Gates. So convinced is he that the
United States should be q member Of
that league that he has resigned from
the high position Of associate justice
Of the Supreme court to speak and
write for the cause. Talking recently
with an interviewer, he said:
II believe that the future Of the
United States depends upon our en-
trance into the League of Nations.
From a moral standpoint, and from
political and business considerations,
we are gravely in error to stand aloof.
Reservations may or may not be
necessary. The main thing Is to join
the league. And l wish to devote q
large part of my time to an effort
to persuade the American public that
this Is the right viewpoint"

628 INDIVIDUAL
PROTESTS SENT
TO COMMISSION
General Protest Filed
Against Raise In
Phone Rates

The individual petitions of 628
persons in Orleans, Essex and Cal
edonia county to the Public Ser
vice Commission of Vermont pro-
testing against the proposed new
schedule of rates of the New
England Telephone and Telegraph
company and asking public
hearing, were forwarded by the
Caledonian-Record today to Neil
u. Clawson, secretary of the COM
mission at Brattleboro In nearly
every case the individual petition
er WAS a telephone subscriber.
Practically every large business
firm in Northeastern Vermont was
included in the list of petitioners.
The Public Service commission,
aS a rule. has its business laid out
for several weeks in advance and
it is believed that the delay in
answering the protest of the Gale
donian-Rccord against the propos-
ed cancellation of the five free
toll calls per month for North
eastern Vermont and the request
for a public hearing is due to the
congestion of business before this
commission. There would seem lit
RE doubt but that Northeastern
Vermont would be given an oppor-
tunity to voice its sentiments in
regard to the action of the tele-
phone company in putting the new
schedule of rates into effect with
out a public hearing.
