CAREFUL FEEDING SPELLS HEALTH
AND HAPPINESS FOR THE CHILDREN
TINE vital importance of feedln,

THE vital importance of feeding
young people between the
ages of IL and IS years, both
rightly and well, can not be over
estimated. 1t is at this very critical
age that development is very rapid
and sufficient suitable food is of such
Importance that the matter can not
be too carefully studied.
By rightly and we'll" is meant not
only to provide menus with the cor
rect food values. but also food that
the children will relish; for the sat
ished child is generally the we'll
nourished one, and the one that best
assimilates his food.
The Growing Child.
Emphasis OF course must be laid
upon the foods. carrying substances
of growth, such as milk, eggs, &C.
reals, a certain proportion of meat,
poultry and fish, fruits and vegeta-
bles, with plenty of pure water to
drink at all times. Avoid highly
spiced dishes, rich sauces and gra-
vies and constant serving of hot
breads.
Girls at this period should have
plenty Of food, rich in iron. or blood
making foods. Spinach, grapes, egg
yolks, raisins and prunes are all rich
in iron and should be furnished gen.
erously.
Minimize pies, tarts and pastry in
the menus, also heavy, rich pud-
dings that are a tax on the strongest
digestion; but on the other hand.
give particular attention to whole
some. simple desserts. and remember
to the growing boy or girl, dessert is
always spelled with a capital letter
and forms the principal course of the
meal.
This is right to a certain extent,
as children need sweets in some form
as energy foods. Be careful, how
over. that they get 1t in the right
form at home, as this Will cut down

Scale Tell the Story.
1t Is a hard matter for any mother
to weigh the correct amount OF
calories that each child should eat
for a meal, but very often she can
weigh the children themselves and
find out II they are normal in weight
and up to the standard. If not, in
crease the whole wheat bread, milk
and butter supply and see that they
have plenty of fruit and fresh green
vegetables.
Breakfast for children Of school
age Is perhaps the hardest meal with
which to contend. as the young people
are apt to be hurried and more in
tent on getting of to school than on
eating. Fruit, a good cooked cereal,
with top of the bottle, whole wheat
bread and butter or toast, with milk,
cereals. coffee or cocoa, form 2 rer=
feet meal with which to begin a

all children will not eat this.

way of broiled crisp bacon or friz-

A Dainty Bib for Baby

oYs and clothing are usually selected as gifts for the new
baby. Not everyone is skillful enough to make toys,
but many are experts at crochet and embroidery and
they can make all kinds of pretty garments for the new arrival.
This little bib is very dainty and should be made in the usual
manner. Allow extra material beyond the dotted line at the
neck for turning under. Embroider the flowers and then haste
the bib on another piece of material and embroider the scallops
through both thicknesses, then turn in at the neck or finish with
a neat binding. When tracing this design, it will not be neces-
sary to draw the radiating petal lines in the flowers. Draw only
the inner and outer circular line and work this band in button
the center with French knots. For the leaves use satin stitch
and for the stems outline stitch. In each corner of the front
there are two large openings to be worked in eyelet stitch. A
band Of material or ribbon is to be passed through these eyelets
and fastened about baby's waist, If desired these eyelets NAV

THE COUNTRY HOME
w. H FELTON,

II. FELL ON
It was the rural homes, poyerty-stricken sec
tions. which decided the question as to-
schools, free as to tuition and teachers PAID
by public and compulsory taxation. FROM
this needful Aegislation the taxation has run
into the millions annually, and all SortS Oh
teachers, even to baseball educatlon' mas
evolved.
1t goes without saying that wage earners
are expected to raise children on moreate
incomes Ct meant the labOring claSS(, ana
their children are also expected TO learn
things at school which will assist IN pre-
pairing them for useful labor; but 1t is
fact worthy of notice that the most of the
educational activities are to teach young
women how to teach school, and the boys
must get early to day labor activities, to as
sist in the general support of the family
The modern routine of public schools has
taken in Latin and Spanish and a whole lot
of studies which the masses have no use for
in everyday life. School boys in town get
to be "bundIe boys" for the merchants, and
the first thought of the graduated school
girl is to hunt place to teach long ways
from home.
The parents of these children have no
say so, during school terms, as to what they
shall be taught, and vacations devoted
to going somewhere, to swim and fish and
live in tents and mainly to get away from
the place where their parents live and move
and have their being. Tax money is called
for in season and out of season to foot all
the bills.
Automobiles are great joy-riding machines,
but they are accused of doing more harm
to our youth than anything in existence" 1t
is plainly evident that they are doing more
to vacate the pews in church services than
any other one known cause
AS it stands today people send their chill
dren to school and transfer to the teacher
the training of their children in vital essen
tia1s of good citizenship. My opinion may
be worth very little, but my experience tells
me that parents cannot thus transfer their
responsibility to the teachers who are in the
teaching business according to the size of
the salary they expect to receive. 1 read a
sentence about Iowa a few days ago, that
has remained with me: "PrisOn population
doubled in Iowa. Iowa is permeated with
public schools. Church and state are to be
censured for this condition and Iowa is high
on the list for public school expenses. Of
one thing we may be sure, that Georgia has
trebled her prison population since 1871,
when the system was fastened on the state.

Millions Saved by Science

n M ANY Journal readers marveled, no
!NE doubt, at the news story of the five
mllion-dollar chemical discovery of
an improved basis for yeast. That sum and
more it is reckoned will be saved annually
by use. of a certain mixture of mineral salts
which will prevent, in the fermentation
process, a waste of two hundred thousand
barrels of -four, thirty thousand barrels Of
sugar, and several million pounds of yeast
economies that would provide goodly endow-
ments in the course of decade for every
school of science in Georgia.
What chemistry will save and produce in
hundreds of millions of values which it con-
tinuaIIy adds to the wealth of the nation

there is not a farm, not a factory, not
business or household but is daily obligated
to chemical research. Without the far-rang-

would dwindle away, our industries sink
back to Medieval impoverishment, our civ

SEE IT THROUGH
BY H. Addington Bruce

There are many people in this world to
whom the principle of completeness is SEEM
ngly of no Importance whatever.
Some, butterfly fashion, fit from under
taking to undertaking, beginning things
with great enthusiasm, but never finishing
them. The new forever attracts them, yet
once they have essayed it their eagerness
wanes and they turn to something else.
Then there are those who ignore the prin-
ciple of completeness because of their pas
sion for haste.
Anything in which they engage must be
done quickly if it is to be done at all. Diff
ficultes in it's execution cause uneasy feel
ings that lead either to an outright Sinking
of the engagement, or to a doing of it that
is a doing in name only.
Still other folk are not obsessed by haste
so much as by distaste for effort.
They do things incOmp1etely because at
heart they do not want to do them at all. So
they readily persuade themselves that a
minimum of eXertion will suffice whatever
the thing to be done. Incompletenesse is an
inevita5'e result.
And the incompleteness itself brings re-
suits anything but pleasant and sometimes
fraught with the quality of disaster.
Again and again the newspapers report
fatal accidents due to the failure of some
body-whether from Observation-Disclosures
haste, laziness or outright dishonesty-to do
a piece of work completely
Now it is an automobile that goes crash
ing over an embankment because of incom-
plete repair work by a garage man. Now
it is railway train wrecked by spreading
rails that track workers would have detect
ed had they not covered their section in haste
With reason latterday moralist has OBJ
served
The history of the human race is full of
the most horrible tragedies caused by care
lessness and the inexcusable blunders of
those who never formed the habit of ac-
curacy, of thoroughness, of doing things to
finish.'
Even when disaster to others does not re-
suit from incompIeteness, disaster of some
sort to oneself is an all too likely result
1t may not be bodily disaster 1t may be
disaster of chronic unemployability, of the
misery that comes with extreme poverty. of
the bitter discomfort associated with inability
to get on in the world.
Unhappily, also, the real cause Of the
wretchedness felt is seldom appreciated
Rather there is pretty general tendency to
try to place the blame for it on external cir
cumstances.
THE trouble is with the social system. it
gives a poor man no chance" may be the
