A S far as any measurem, mt Is

that the rotation period of
the earth has changed. There are
causes in operation capable Of PRO-
ducing such an alteration. but
some of these would act in contrury
ways, and might offset one an
other.
For instance, meteors aIc con-
tinually falling upon the earth and
adding to it's total mass. We know
from mechanical laws that the .on-
sequence of this must be a ten
dency of the earth to rottts a
trifle more slowly. On the otncr

There is another pair os for,,es

But even IL these causes oper-
ate In the way supposed, their
result Is so slight that thousands
of years of the most careful OBJ
servations would be required to
detect them by measurement.
Various theoretical calculations
have been made as to the amount
OF the supposed retardation Of the
rotation time, and they all show
that the length Of the day can
not be increased more than some
such trifling amount as a single
second In half a million years.
At least one of these same
causes may operate to shorten
the year; this Is the encounter
with meteors, which has the ef-
feet Of a resisting medium and
causes the earth to drop In a lit
tie toward the sun, thereby in.
creasing It's orbital velocity. The
increase of the earth's mass by
accretion from meteors also tends
to Increase the force Of attraction
between the earth and the sun.
However, all of these influences
are so slight in the sum of their
effects that, as before said, We
cannot bring their results within
the range of actual measurement,

DIET FOR THE
CHILD.
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

n order to develop normally !
child needs a variety of foods
in other words, all kinds Ct
material upon which to grow. The
child should have some OF the fol
lowing things every day: Milk
eggs, fish, fowl, meat, bread, cere
ais, vegetables, fruit, sweets and
fat.
Milk is by far the most impor.
tant of all these foods. There is
no substitute for 1t. II a child OBJ,
jects to taking 1t plain, see that
he gets it in the form of cocoa,
milk soups and custards.
II child takes three cups of
milk a day and an egg he will
need but little meat until the
seventh year. From seven to ten
years give no more than two
ounces of meat daily; from ten to
fourteen years give no more than
three ounces daily.
II a child is given a quart OF
milk, pea and bean soup, cereals
and dried fruits and spinach and
other vegetables every day he Will
need no meat at all at any age.
Such a diet is. in fact, of greater
food value than one of meat.
Bread and cereals should con-
stitute one-third of the child's ra-
tions. Whole wheat flour and
brown rice are much more nutri.
tious than refined white flour and
white rice. Cereals should be
cooked long and slowly; In other
words, thoroughly. The aversion
of some children to cereals is
often due to improper cooking
and serving. They may be taste
fully served in the form of pud-
dings. soups and cookies.
Vegetables are especially impor'
tant IL milk is lacking in the diet.
Hungry children, whose appetites
are hard to satisfy, are frequently
those whose dietary Is deficient
in vegetables. Potatoes should
be given every day. They should
never be fried.
Fruit should be given every
day. Regarding sugar, not more
than a tablespoonful daily should
be given from five to seven
years, nor more than two table
spoonfuls from seven to twelve
years. Fat is best supplied in
the form of cream and butter.

1T Is better to start home in q
tiny two-room apartment than
not to start at all. And 1t Is
far better to have a home, the rent
of which one is reasonably sure Of
being able to pay than to worry
along in a more commodious home.
This is how one couple solved
the problem Of the two room flat.
AS the apartment stood. the one
larger room had to be a bedroom,
living room and company dining
room. The kitchen was also used
for laundrying purposes and as a
breakfast room.
Each was handy with hammer
and nails and the average tools Of
the home tool chest. And so they
built a breakfast nook. 1t con-
sisted Of a table shelf which could
be swung up flat against the wall

Imply on the desk, thought about
him.
Hers was a strange, sweet pride
in him-a fierce jealousy lest he
should not take the place in the
world to which he was entitled,
and prove himself every inch q

Nor did she pretend to hide from
herself what his return amSng his
own friends must ultimately mean.
If the love he had offered her had
not been totally extinguished by
her light mockery and smiling in
science, then this return to his
own set would do 1t ultimately.
The standards that measured wom-
en- there would be fatal to her;
nor could he choose but apply
them, sooner or later.
She knew this when she sent
him back among his own sort. She
realized perfectly that If any love
for her survived her irony and
flippancy-her airy but trenchant
scorn-it could not survive very
long when he came to his cool
headed and reasoning self, and
looked around him at the women,
and at the families and relatives
of the women among whom he
had always lived.
Already he had spoken Of little

she placed it on the desk. and isy

 The picture, "a remarkable one in many respects, it is said, is particu- 'arly noteworthy because of the fact
