YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON
Helping FinicISy Eaters

A one-sided, unbalanced diet, with
a tendency for sweets and non-essen-
tial foods, is characteristic of adol-
escent boys and girls. Parents or
those who care for these young peo-
pie are almost sure to have this con-
dition to deal with sooner or later.
Have you ever thought that per-
haps you may have encouraged this
one-sided diet ha t and not really
be aware of the fact? In an un-
guarded moment when something
had happened to disturb the temper
or health of son or daughter you
gave way to a whlm or the demand
of finicly taste and the damage
was done.
This one-sided, sweet-stuff- and
pickles diet, with little taste of
everything but not real meal of
anything, leads to undervelopment,
poor digestion. nervousness and
anemia. But it can often be cured.
1t sometimes means heroic treat
ment, but the end justifies the means
in this case.
One thing that is of great value in
helping to break this finicky diet is
regularity in eating Have the family
together at meals and help the fin
icky ones by taking all the time you
need while at table. Don't let the
children spoil their appetite and real
zest for a meal by encouraging eat
ing between times. Insist on this
program, gently but firmly.
Some physicians advise eating
whenever you are hungry, but 1t does
not work out in a case like this. Try
and aid your children to avoid the
hurry-up-an-run eating habit, espe-
cially at breakfast. The value of a
nourishing breakfast to adolescents
be overestimated.
IT is quite possible to win one
sided. finicky eaters of the adolescent
period over to normalcy by good ex-
ample and kind words. Never try to.
drive or scold nervous boy or girl
into eating food not wanted.
Preparing vegetables either raw or
cooked into tempting combinations
with other foods isS another good
bait. Encourage the drinking of
water, at least five or six large glass
es daily. This promotes good elimi-
nation and aids the desire for food.
If this treatment of "get together"
fails to produce the desired results.
try plain, nutritious food that is to
be eaten in common by all or else
go without. Hunger is good sauce
and may help to solve your problem
of catering to finicky eaters.

PUBLIC OPINION
TROLLEY RIGHT OF WAY
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
l would like to call attention to
way in which the traffic conditions
on the shore road could be relieved.
IL the State Highway Commission
would take over the right of way
abandoned by the Jersey Central
Traction Company and make it into
road it would solve several prob
lens.
This was done in New York state.
When the d. l.. & w. railroad
changed the grade and straighten-
ed their road between Binghamton
and Scranton, they turned the old
right of way over to the state on
condition that it be made into
state highway. Those who have
driven over the LacSawanna Trail
know that this piece of road is one
of the finest highways in the coun-
try.
Because the right OF way of this
trolley line has been graded 1t is
not worth much for anything but
transportation purposes: it has been
abandoned by the street cars. and
this location is not suitable for
railroad, so about the only thing
it is good for is for highway use.
The thing to do would be to take
the best of both the present road and
of the trolley location. combine the
two and build real highway.
Where the trolley is on the side
of the road, widen the road and
where 1t leaves the line of the high
way make islands" as is done in the
Northwest Boulevard in Philadel-
phia, or where farther apart, make
separate roads with one way traffic
Where the road goes under the
railroad at South Amboy another
arch would be available. and by
building highway bridge where the
present trolley bridge is, near Nor
gan Dead Mans Curve" and the
railroad crossing would be eliminat-
ed.
Instances could be cited like these
all the way down the line, and IL in
addition the road could be built
around Keyport instead of through
1t. that would help also.
II the State Highway Commission
would get busy and spend some of
our $40,000,000 road fund on this
they could not find better place
for it.

which wastes all of the valuable coal
