Good Food, Fresh Air
Make ''MOdel Child"
By GRACE SCHERMERHORN
American Child Health Association
Home Economies Expert.

Every mother today can gain health,
happiness and a long life for her child.
To do this, she must only train him in
the right ways Of living and teach him
the habits Of fresh air, cleanliness and,
most important, of good food.
Food is probably more directly re-
sponsible than any one thing for good
or bad health. The new model"
child is the healthy, happy child who
has learned to accept fresh air, good
food and long hours of sleep as n
matter of fact. Every parent wants
new model" child.
No one food is adequate to supply
the needs Of the body. Even milk,
the most perfect Of foods, is not suf-
ficient in itself. Babies can live on a
milk diet for certain length of time
because they possess, during the first
year Of their lives, a super-abundance
of iron. the element which milk, in a
great degree, lacks.
Set Habits Bad.
Set food habits for children are bad.
The mother must try to serve a diff
f,rent vegetable every day in addition
to potatoes and another vegetable. She
should teach her child to drink a glass
of milk with each meal. She should
saow him how to adapt himself to
any kind of food.
Variety in the preparation of food
is almost as important as variety in
selection. Learn different ways CT
preparing the same food, find how to
use leftovers attractively, make food
really interesting with new dishes.
Fruit, vegetables, cereals and milk
are a necessary part of the daily menu.
No other items are essential for a
balanced health diet.
Food is not, however, the only es-
sential for growth. The emotional
life of the child is closely bound up
with nutrition. Therefore, mealtime
should always be q happy time.
Never scold or nag while the child is
eating.
Do not talk about food in the pres
ence of children. Take the items you
sarve as matter of fact. Train your
children to accept them naturally.
Do not try to break the child of
bad food habits abruptly. II he
loves candy or is used to coffee every
mornig decrease the amount of candy
or coffee slowly.
Substitution.
As you take one harmful food away
substitute a beneficial one. Build up
new habit as you break down an
old one.
Serve food attractively II you want
to interest children. This includes
pretty china, a well-aTanged table
careful service.
1t is better to give children a small
quantity of everything on the table
rather than a plateful of one food
They may come actively to dislike
some one dish if they lave too much
of it and are expected to eat IL all.
When teaching child to eat new
food give IL in combination with some
thing he likes.
II both eggs and milk are distaste-
fu, don't serve them on the same day.
Most important of all, begin at once
to teach your child good food habits.
Nav /. designated by the American
Child Health Association and kindred
organizations as national child
health day, is good time to begin.

LETTER FROM ANNETTE AN
DERSON TO LESLIE PRESCOTT
MY DEAR MRS. PRESCOTT:

MY DEAR MRS. PRESCOTT:
Mrs. Prescott Sr. is quite anxious
to see your baby again. She is get
ting restless, and she wished me 10
write you and ask you if you would
come down here and bring him.
It's astonishing, my dear Mrs
Prescott, to realize what that baby
has done to your husbands mother
She is quite mad about him. I've
been wondering if it would not be q
good thing to invite her up to sec
you. We could go to a nearby apart
ment house or hotel for few weeks,
and then / think she would be much
more content to come back to the quiet
and peace of her old home than she
Is now.
I'm growing very fond Of your hus-
bands mother, Mrs. Prescott. OF
rourse she is self-centered, as old peo-
pie always are, and narrow, as becomes
her Puritan ancestry, but for all that
there is sterling worth within her aged
frame.
And now that she has a definite OBJ
5ect in life, and that definite object
j. your baby. it seems TO me that it
might be feasible to bring the oldest
and the youngest members of your
family together again for a short time.
OF course, if anything makes it I'm
possible for you or Mr.. Prescott to do
this. you can write TO me, and you
may be sure that your confidence will
be invielate. j will make some excuse
to keep Mrs. Prescott Sr. here.
want to tell you, however. how
much she thinks of you. All the love

in the living-room, it is of almost as
great Importance in the bedrooms.
Each bed should have its table and
night lamp, for convenience, and even
a chair nearby, il it possibly can oe
alone, but the dresser, of course, must
have its chair.
The only exception to this rule II it
can be called so, is the dining room.
Even here the table in the center has
its chairs, equalling the number of
people who eat there daily. All the
remaining chairs are placed alongside
the vail, in the most convenient ar
rangement possible. There need be no
attempt to group these remaining
chairs, because the dining-room is used
for only one purpose, perhaps only
once a day. and when that comes the
people in the house Of necessity form
into one group around the table.
Fireplace Pieces.
The central group of the house, more
than likely is the one about the fire
place, for the fireplace in most cases
is the piece about which the rest OF
the living-room is arranged. There
fore, where there is room, the largest
and most coy grouping should be ar
ranged about the fireplace. The sofa
should be facing the fireplace, where
ever possible, or at least it should be
alongside.
Then there should be soft, up
holstered chair at one side at least, and
the end tables accompanying the fire
place pieces. A lamp or two in the
group makes this a restful, comfort
able arrangement.
There is an atmosphere about such
a group that alone furnishes rest and
ease TO the tired housewife and her
husband.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-04-29

The test Of home lies in the i'm
preston it gives to visitors.
If your guests feel perfectly at ease
and chatty, if not one OF large party
is left alone and bored, the hostess
cal: consider her affair a success.
This depends in large part on the
tact and keenness of the hostess, but
one mechanical detail which she will
find of great help to her is the ar
rangement of her furniture.
Arrangement of furniture meets its
greatest test during large parties. But
it must also be considered at all other
times. For il, to a great degree, helps
make your home feel Ike home.
Large rooms especially require a
tasty and tactful arrangement Of fur
niture. Otherwise they might look
like barns-cold, colorless and unin-
viting.
No matter how large or small, or
strangely designed. room appears at
its best when its furniture is arranged
in groups. That is, no single piece is
left standing alone. A soft chair has
its table and lamp, and another chair
facing it or at its side. A sofa, prac-
tically a group" in itself, also has its
one or two end tables and lamp. A
desk has its chair and lamp. 4 piano
its stool and lamp. And so on.
Help to Hostess.
The result. is that when many per-
sons are being entertained. they are
unconsciously divided into small, chat
ty groups by the furniture arrange
ment. And the hostess is relieved of
the unpleasant job of keeping her
guests together.
Not only the living-room. but every
room in the house, should have its
furniture arranged in groups. AL
though this arrangement helps most

that she formerly bestowed upon
that old maid called Priscilla Brad
ford, she has evidently transferred to
you.
OF course 1 know it is absolutely
impossible for you to make a visit
upon your husbands mother so soon
again, and that is the reason l am
asking you if it would be convenient
for her to visit you. 1t would give
her something to think about on her
return.
She would see you and the baby in
your own home, she would place you
in her accustomed surroundings, and
this means a great deal to old people.
Anything you may write me about
this will be kept in strictest conf
dence, as l said before.
Hoping to hear from you soon, 1
remain.
Yours respectfully.
