FIRE UNDER ASHES

A GREAT many uncharitable, criti-
cal people run down the unfOr-
tunate man or woman, standing on
the brink Of encouragement and fail
ure, without looking for the real cause.
1t may be Ill health, it may be shock
from the loss of a loved one. II may
be misfortune, which in spite of ut
most vigilance comes to all of us; or
1t may be inaptltude or inability, but
whatever the cause, let us be patient
and considerable before We launch
austere criticism and throw up our
hands In condemnation.
If our hearts are right, and 1t is
assumed they are. let us In humane
spirit seek to remove the ashes from
the live Goals beneath, and fan them
into hopeful blaze.
Whatever may be the prevailing
opinion for or against such a proceed
ure, this Is the noble way, almost GER
tain to give encouragement to he dis
heartened and lift them up in a new
world where Hope lives eternally and
Truth and Mercy smile kindly, even
when the storms beat hardest and the
days are darkest.

FOODS A CHILD MAY HAVE

THE foods In the following list are
- those a child may have, though
they should not all be served In one
meal, and the mother selects the foods
most appropriate.
Solid foods are introduced gradually
after one year Of age In the diet Of
q normal baby.
The first meal should have as a be-
ginning a dish Of cereal, Cruel, proper
~ sailed and served with milk; q piece
Of zwieback or crumbs of bread made
soft with milk. or an egg occasionally.
cooked for two minutes and thick
ened with bread crumbs. This Is the
time to form the habit of slow eat
ing and perfect mastication. It Is so
important that other things should be
sighted rather than neglect this. as 1t
means a lifelong habit for health or
indigestion with, its ills.
Fresh bread, hot breads and rich bis
cult should never be given. Always
serve bread stale enough to crumble.
A good way to serve It Is to cut in
small squares and brown in the oven.
For the child from the twelfth to
the eighteenth month, fruits such a
