Make Feeding Children a
Game, Advises Expert
\ BY SALLY LUCAS JEAN
Director of Health Education, Ameri.
can Child Health Association.

Docs your child refuse TO eat green
vegetables? Does he beg for cake and
candy? Does he hate to 60 to bed
carly? Is he, in spite of everything
you can do, thin and nervous and
irritable?
IL so, you have gone at him in the
wrong way. A child's psychology is
much the same as that of an adult.
The feminine instinct to be beautiful
and the masculine desire to he
strong are so deeply rooted in the
human race that they begin in baby
hood.
For years l have been trying to
find a way TO appeal TO children so
that they would find pleasure in TAX
ing the simplest health measures. 1t
was easy enough to impress the par
ents. but the children were profound
ly indifferent.
Finally. found n way that works.
II does no GOOD TO say, Johnnie, eat
your oatmeal because it's good for
you," but ask John if he wants to be
strong like Dempsey or a good fighter
or the captain of a football team.
Don't say word about oatmeal or
fresh vegetables. Don't nag him about
brushing his teeth or taking a bath.
Ask his sister Mary il she wants
bright eyes and rosy checks and il
she wants to be good dancer or
have pretty hair.
Appeal to the competitive instinct
in children. Who can gain the most
weight? Who drinks the most milk
Who eats the most vegetables?
Make, a game of keeping up the
weight. After n child once sees that

Mrs. Bernard HOf Writes to
Parents in Grand Forks
of Bandit Killings
TEAR BRIDAL VEIL

Grand Forks, n. d., Feb. 29.--The
story OF the merclcss treatment re.
ccivcd at the hands of Chinese ban
dts several weeks ago in their raid
on the Lutheran mission at Tsao-
Yang, China, when Prof. and Mrs
Bernard Hoff were wounded, the for
mer fatally, and when Mrs. kilen
was captured, is told by Mrs. Hoff
in letter to her parents, Prof. and
Mrs T.. NJ, Brocn Of the Lutheran
Bible school here.
Not only was the Sanctity Of the
home rudely violated but all scati-
mcnf was apparently discarded dur
ing the raid for later investigation
at the mission house disclosed the
bridal veil worn a short five months
before the raid, by Mrs. Hoff, torn
and trampled under foot among the
broken and battered belongings of
the home.
= Mrs. Hoff Very Weak
Although the raid took place sew
cral weeks ago, Mrs. Hoff is still
very weak and can only sit up a few
minutes at time. She sends word
that she will come to the home o.
her parents at Grand Forks as soor
as she is able to travel, to rccuperate
and regain her health here among
friends and relatives.
The wound inflicted by the ban
dts has practically healed, she
through the whole ordeal coupled
with the loss of her husband a short
time after the raid, so exhausted her
strength that recovery is slow. She
began writing the letter home on
January 20 and owing to her lack
of strength only finished it Jan
uary %.
Bandits Destroyed All
All of her money that she happen
ed to have at the time of the raid
was taken by the bandits and ali
clothing, books, furniture, typewriter
organ, etc, were torn and broker
and strewn over the floors.
Missionary NJ Wcrdahl, according
to Mrs. Hoff's letter went to Tsao-
Yang fey days after the raid and
found the windows and doors ut the
mission station broken and practi-
cally all the belongings of the mis-
sionaries broken or carried away. All
that he could do, the letter states
was to find boards and nails and
close up the windows and doors.
Faith mistaken
I In relating as much as she at the
time of writing felt able to, of the
existing scene when the robbers en-
tered the mission compound and cap
tured Mrs. Kilen, Mrs. Hoff said in
part: Il said to Mr. Hoff while we
were lying wounded in Chinese
house near the mission station, AS

doesn't matter. does it dear?' fle
would only nod his head as he was
unable to speak. said. This is
Gods way of saving us. If we had
not been wounded we would have
been taken by the bandits.
Writing about the passing away of
her husband after such brief life
together, Mrs. Hoff says: This is
the Lords will concerning me and
as often as think about my be-
loved husband being taken away
from me so soon, yet feel thank
full to God because | still have
mother, father. sisters and brothers
and best of all, loving Heavenly
Father who cares especially for me
now. This is comfort and help in
these trying days.
