His First Venture

Question: have between $500 and
Sant 1900 which ! wish to invest at 5 per
highest grade bonds. with rather long ma
turtles. / have an adequate deposit in
savings banks and hold a small amount
OF Liberty and Victory bonds Please give
me list OF four each OF railroad. utillty
and industrial bonds which viii answer
my requirements. L expect to have period
ically suGns up to $1,000 for investment
and should appreciate It If you could
give no an investment scheme to secure
diversity. That is. should acquire a
utility an industrial. n railroad, a nunic-
tpal. a foreign government bond and so on
repeating the cycle, or should l acquire a
certain amount in one class before going to
the next This is my first venture beyond
the protecting wings OF savings banks. and
! know that you can help mo as you have
helped SO many others For your guidance,
Sulcd Salaly.--C. ". r.
Answer-We would begin to diver
sify as soon as possible # wo were
you, and buy first railroad bond
then a public utility, etc, rather than
to build up an investment in railroads
first and then go to the other classes
The Chicago, Burlington e. Quincy
general 4s, due 1858; Illinois Central
first As, due 1861; Union Pacific first
railroad and land grant 4s, due 1947.
and Virginian Railway first 5s are
bonds in our opinion. Among the nub- nh
lie utilities we suggest Niagara Falls
Power first 5s, due 1882; Montana
Power first 5s, due 1913; New York
Telephone 6s, due 1871, and Western
Union 674s, due 1896. For the manu-

Rats Prove MIX Value

The lives of thousands of children
may be saved from the study of
rats. We are used TO the i.lustra-
tiop of Sermons in stones, books in
the running brooks, but it remain
ed for the common rat to pave the
way for better feeding of our chill
dren, by proving the value of milk
in the diet of the young.
In recently concluded nutrition
experiment, a family of baby rats
was oivided, half being fed on bread
and prepared food, and half on bread
milk and orange juice. The first
group registered slight, if any inn
provement; the second responded at
once to the diet Their fur became
glossy, their eyes brighter and their
activity more marked.
A second group was divided, the
first half being fed meat, potatoes,
bread, bacon, turnips and beets-to
all appearances balanced ration
Group number two was fed the same
let, but with the addition of milk.
The difference was noticeable from
the start, number two gaining with
twice the rapidity of number one,
because of the milk diet.
Similar experiments with the
mother rats proved the value OF
milk, the richer the mothers diet in
milk, the more rapid being the de-
velopment of the young.
Interesting experiments of this ma
ture are being started at the Michi-
gan Agricultural College now, and
will be on display curing Farmers
Week at the college, Jan. 80 to Feb
3, in demonstrations to show that
milk is vital in the child's diet.

gan Agricultural Collegs)
Underweight, Overweight Children
Both overweight and underweight
children offer special nutritional
problems. Both are abnormal, being
subject TO disease and to general re-
tardec development. Mothers should
study their children, decide upon in
dividual condition, and then plan
meals to conform to proper correc-
tive let.
The Christmas season with it's ac-
compartment of holiday can, les and
highly seasoned foods; the New Year
with its suggestion of new regimes
and good resolutions,-both, as our
French neighbors say, give one to
think.
The result of over indulgence in
sweets apd rich food is seldom so
apparent ks at this time of the year
when, very likely, the child cannot
ge out of doors to work off the ef-
fects of over-eating. With the New
Year, why not resolve to put that
chill os those children upon steady
diet, combined with steady hours?
The supply Of food should be gen

body itself is burned" to provide
energy, and loss of weight results; if
tco much, the body refuses to func-
tion properly, more food being re-
tainea than it ''burned up. In eth
er case the situation is serious, re-
tarded mental development being the
most noticeable result. The under
weight child is, in addition, open to
the ravages Of tuberculosis; the over
weight child, to pneumonia and in
fantile paralysis.
Cut out the rich foods from the
diet of the over weight chilt !; add
them. together with at least a quart
of milk day, to the diet of the un-
derweight chlld and for both insist
upon regular meals and regular
sleep. Give their bodies a chance
and their brains will take the chance
