Some time ago ! copied a diet for
a twenty-tow month-old baby out of
The Washington Star l have used
1t with such success that / am writ
ing to ask il you will be kind enough
to send me diet for the same baby
who is now nearly two years old. The
baby is very healthy. has good color,
weighs what she would for her age
and is quite normal in every way. 1
think she requires more food and
more variety now than the twenty
one-month-old baby and will be
very grateful if you will mail it to
me on receipt of this. I have found
your system agrees with my child
better than some doctors. Will you
state just how much milk a healthy
child this age should drink daiIy and
whether you approve OF the addition
OF gelatin to the daily amount of food ?
ID. d. c.
L am delighted to learn from YOUR
recent letter that the diet suggested
some time ago for your little girl has
been healthful
Now that she has reached the age
OF two years I suggest something
like the following:
ID. The baby needs I.1S5 calories
nave orange juice or baked apple or
prune marmalade; slice of milk
toast or three tablespoons of wheat
cereal with two tablespoons of thin
cream; soft cooked egg twice a week:
a slice of dry toast and a. cup of warm
milk to drink daily.
For dinner there should be two
tablespoons of baked potato or a
coddled egg on days when egg is
not served for breakfast or a ia able-
spoon OF scraped meat or three table
spoons of beef juice; daily there
should be two tablespoons of baked
potato and two tablespoons of some
other vegetable, such as string beans
or caulifiower tips or asparagus tips
the bread should be a slice of dry
toast, and daily for dessert three
tablespoons of custard or junket; a
cup of warm milk to drink daily and
on alternate days two tablespoons of
apple sauce.
For supper serve a slice of milk
teast or three tablespoons of rolled
oats with two tablespoons of thin
cream; a cup of warm milk and three
tablespoons Of gelatin favored with
fruit juice or one tablespoon Of arrow
root or three tablespoons of baked
apple, according to the food served
at dinner; a slice of dry toast with
one pat OF butter.
I trust that these suggestions may

a rope belt may be knotted to the

Your Home and You

I feel little pang of pity for them.
because they are missing the thrill
and enchantment of the oldfashioned
rope swing, hanging from the bough
of an apple tree.
OF all outdoor pastimes for little
children, l believe this is the most
fascinating. Watch the face OF a
small boy or girl seated on the mar
row piece of board, clutching the
ropes with tight little fists and
breathing hard as the green grass
slides past or the stubby feet almost
touch the dropping boughs of the
tree. Oh, this is different from

Nutrition Nuggets.

1t is important to remember that in
dieting for certain conditions the
individual and his peculiarities must be
taken into consideration. No theoretical
diet will fit every case, although a
theoretical diet planned according to
accepted standards is the best starting
point in any diet plan.
The function Of fatty foods is divided
between producing energy and in reg
ulating the temperature Of the body.
A definite portion of fat gives more
than twice as much energy in the form
of heat as does the same quantity of
starch.
Water and mineral salts help to build
the cells Of the body and they also
help to keep the different parts Of the
body in proper working order.
Remember that digestion is two types
the first physical, such as the grind
ing of the food in the mouth, the
peristaltic action in the stomach and
the elimination of waste by the bowels
is what we call chemical. This has to
do with the action Of the various di-
gestive fluids and the changes which
they bring about in the food mass.
The complicated processes that go on
in the liver and kidneys also belong to
the chemical sides Of digestion.
1t is a good plan to learn to dis
tinguish between the fermentation
that attends the action Of favorable
bacteria and the putrefaction which
follows action of bacteria that are
harmful. Ordinary and. 'acid fer
mentation" need not be a serious
symptom at all, provided the person
will eat a sensible diet. Putrefaction
in the intestines is always a menace
to health.
Our present diet standards have
been formed along two lines. First,
the estimating from studies Of large
groups as to the composition and
quantity Of food eaten under normal
conditions over sufficient length of
time to make the study valuable. The
second method is to use the apparatus
that shows by actual measurement
the quantity of heat given off by the
body, thus indicating the amount of
food necessary to offset the waste.
One authority gives the sensations
connected with the digestive system
as follows: O Hunger, ca appetite,
t3) safety, (4) fullness, (5) defca-
tion, (6) sensations OF heat following
chemical stimulation of food.

Bukharin's Report on World Program

"a country where the bourgeoisie Is
easily overthrown and the proletariat
lis well trained and disciplined, the
latter will realize the expediency and
necessity of the new economic policy.
But when a blockade intervenes,
requisition or partial requisition be-
comes necessary. On the whole, war
communism will probably have to be
applied in many countries to a lesser
or greater extent. This will be neces-
sary, because the bourgeoisie will be
able to offer energetic resistance to
the proletariat. But the important
point is that all our parties should be
able to distinguish between political
and economic expediency and that
they adapt it to the situation in their
respective countries.

dictatorship is able to cooperate with
the small producer under his hege-
mony. This is very important, espe-
cially as far as the peasantry is con-
cerned. A situation is possible in
which the proletariat and the proletar-
ian big enterprises form a bloc with
the small producers, and cooperate
with them. And we must be very
careful not to underestimate this
question of small producers as buL
wark of private trading.
After few explanatory remarks on
war communism, we shall be able to
see that the new economic policy is
not a corrective of war communism,
but that the new economic policy is
the only expedient policy of the prole-
tariat. War communism on the con-
trary appears to be corrective Of
the new economic policy. But why is
it corrective? Because it is neces-
STATED not by a rational economic
policy, but by direct political strug-
gle. In many cases there are con-
fiicts between the viewpoint of eco
nomic nationality, namely between the
formula of the necessity of economic
policy and the necessity and expedi-
ency of direct political struggle. Dur
ing the rising, for instance, we de-
stroy material values, but we do the
same when defending the fatherland
If we make war on the bourgeoisie and
desire also to make clean sweep of
the petty bourgeoisie, we have only
to take the necessary measures for the
overthrow of the bourgeoisie: we
must get into our hands the sources
Of it's natural wealth. l told you
that we took away everything from
the peasants. Was this necessary?
Certainly but in what sense was it
necessary and expedient? 1t was the
necessity and expediency of war. Had
we acted differently, we should have
lost the war. And without victory in
war further development was impos-
sible. That is why military commun-
ism was essential. l reiterate most
emphatically that the expediency of
direct political struggle in the eco
nomic life was also bound up with the
decline Of productive forces. But
when this political task has been full
filed, when our power and the dicta-
torship Of the proletariat are firmly
established, and it is only a matter of
bringing the productive forces into
motion and to do everything to en-
courage them then policy of mill
tary communism is no longer justi-
fed. I do not raise the question,
which should precede the other. With
us, the policy of war communism pre-
coded the new economic policy. 1t is
possible that things will be different
in other countries. For instance, in
