Teaching and Training Children

Anything was preferable to loneIi-
ness.
Justice to Children.
Happiness in a family depends as
much upon justice as on love. 1t is
nothing short of cruel to have IA
yorites among your children. 1t is
certainly unjust, for instance, to
favor Mary because she is pretty,
which is only her good luck, not her
merit, and push plain Jane aside be-
cause luck has not been with her,
nor is it just to exalt your clever
boy into first favorite and place his
brother in the background because
he is perhaps not as able to show
his talents. but which may be there
just, the same. The mischief such
treatment does is not only temporary,
IL stretches far into future years A
ehiId's character may be permanently
warped by lack OF sympathy and un-
derstanding.
PIayroom Occupations.
When decorating a nursery or play
room, there should be no aim of
greater Importance than that of max
Ing 1t room suitable for the, chill
dren's use. Above all. it should be a
playroom. So many nurseries appear
TO be designed primarily with the OBJ
Ject of satisfying parental pride.
Iney do much credit to the deco
rators art and cause a visitor to gasp
to the children's happiness
Children love color and there
should be plenty of it in the room
where they pass so many hours, and
sunshine is essential to the health Of
children. If a room faces the north.
an effect of light and brightness can
be obtained by giving the walls two
coats of washable paint in bright
shade of orange. Brown linoleum, on
account of being easy to clean, might
cover the floor, with here and there
crawling rugs made from buff col
ored Army blankets which have been
made attractive by the addition of
amusing motifs, copied from chiIds
book of stories. These motifs should
be cut from black velvet and then
onto the rugs.
How to amuse children during
rainy days and long evenings is some
times very perplexing matter
Preparation of school lessons does
not take up all the time, and unless
the children can be interested in some
congenial occupation, they are in
clined to become depressed and cross,
so that new idea for happily in
teresting and employing them is
great attraction to mother.

Nutrition Nuggets

When we suffer from indigestion"
it is a good plan to ask ourselves
what form of indigestion is affecting
us. For example, starch digestion
begins in the mouth; body building
foods are mostly taken care of in the
stomach; fats are acted on in the
liver; the pancreas carries on the di-
gestion of starches, body builders,
and fats, while the intestines act on
all the food elements. Indigestion
may occur at any or all of these
points and foods must be selected
accordingly.
Remember that the liver is one of
the busiest organs in the body. 1t
helps digestion. stores food, protects
against poisonous substances in the
food supply, brings about chemical
changes that are necessary for life
processes in the body and makes bile,
a fluid that helps to get fats ready
for digestion, stops the growth of
harmful germs and neutralizes GER
tain poisons.
A good way to form the habit of
thorough masticatton is to begin each
meal with a small quantity of very
dry food. In most cases mastication
is help to digestion. The only cir
cumstances under which it is not ad-
visable to prolong the mastication
digestive acids in the stomach or
where there is pain after eating solid
foods.
Remember that there is a difference
between hunger and appetite. APP
petite without hunger leads TO the
eating of unnecessary food, such az
desserts after a hearty meal. Hunger
means a genuine need for food. and
some times this is present where there
is little or no appetite.
a 1000.
since oxygen, one of its component
parts, is an absolute requirement for
the maintaining of complete nutrition.
Avoid air hunger. therefore, as care
fully as food hunger.
The only difference between white
and yellow corn meal lies in the fact
that the latter contains slightly more
oil than the white. As it seems to be
established that one of the important
vitamins exists in the oil of yellow
corn. the yellow meal may be said to
have slight nutritive advantage
over the white.

These Capperdown elms (once

for association with monuments and
memorial architecture, and also for
decorative bits in corners in open
places. Occasionally a tree reverts
to the parent upright type and the
branches, instead of dropping, VIII
shoot upright as if in rebellion
against it's feminine pendulous grace.
This reverting is sometimes confined
to one branch or section of tree, In
striking and awkward contrast with
the pendulous conformity of its
brother branches. One of the elms
in Thomas Circle is displaying this
reversion.
The original type. the Scotch elm.

of 120 feet, while the Camperdown
variety confines itself to a smaller

There are three beautiful trees of
low and weeping habit surrounding
the statue in Thomas Circle that
have been a source of curiosity to the
many Washingtonians who daily pass
up and down 14th street. What are
they and how are they made to grow
In such an odd and beautiful shape?
They are the Camperdown elm. a
variety of the Scotch elm (UImus
glabra) of Europe. The reader will
remember that we have discussed
this Scotch elm previously and that
there is an excellent labeled speci-
men of this type of tree in the park
to the northeast of the Capitol.
Some have surmised that these
Camperdown elms had been made to
grow in their low and weeping habit
by means of pruning or training by
the gardener or by some peculiar
means of grating. But this is not
so. 1t is their natural tendency to
produce formal, low, round-headed
tree with peculiarly artistic, pendu-
lous' branches and branchlets, alike
fascinating in bare winter and in
leafy summer.

We are taking It for granted that
the household of two is one of simple
habits where the mistress does ner
own work and where the "frills" are
reserved for special occasions.
SO in discussing the preparation
and serving of fruits for two we
limit ourselves to the problems of
every day. Properly used fruits add
enormously to the food value
of diet or menu. Those who find
them 'indigestible" are often the
very individuals who eat them at
the close of a hearty meal. Taken
as dessert or eaten before or at
simple breakfast, fruits will prove
to be one of the most valuable of
the food groups.
Bananas furnish a standby in the
everyday menu. They are not fully
ripe until the skins are very dark,
almost black. If you are serving them
raw, remove skins, scrape very care
fully with silver fruit knife or a
spoon so as to remove the astringent
'puckery" principle that is just, be-
low the skin; then slice and serve
with cream and sugar or with
dressing of sweetehed lemon juice.

1t is proposed to set aside strip
of state lands, sixteen miles long and
three wide, in Villas county, for an
additional state park. There are
$4,000 acres within this area of which
the state owns $4,000. The present
governor vetoed two bills within the
past two sessions of the legislature
for the creation at a cost of some
$4,000 of an 5000 acre park contain
ing a magnificent virgin pine forest
in Price and Taylor counties, 100
miles southwest oof the park now
suggested Should this latter park be
sanctioned by the legislature it will
be by far the greatest in all this re-
gion, the nearest approach being 49,
900 acres at Lake Itaska, headwaters
of the Mississippi river in Minnesota.
Special interest is attached to the
Wisconsin project because the stats
game refuge and the state forestry
nursery are both located within the
acres in the state game refuge, all
enclosed in a wire fence twenty feet
high. Within this refuge are 20 elk
donated by the Elk lodges of Wiscon-
sin, which have increased to nearly
forty. There are also at least $50
deer.
Through the establishment Of the
state forestry nursery, located Oh
Trout Lake, Wisconsin has demon
strated the feasibility of planting for
ests of trees. This nursery was es-
tablished in 1911 and contains seven
acres of land on which tree seeds are
planted and the seedlings transplant
ed after three or four years. Tho
beds of growing trees look like an
onion garden at distance" Two thou
sand acres of land within the propos-
ed park have been planted to these
seedlings. Over 800, 900 seedlings were
turned out by this nursery last spring
and large area of land at Nelson
