ROMANCE or FLOWERS

For Uncounted Aged They Have reaA
 Woven Into Life Of hTan Thanks to the human heart by which wA
 live,
 Thanks to it's tenderness, its joys and
 fears,
 To me the meanest flower that blows
 can give
 Thoughts that do. often lie too deep
 deep for tears. In these lines has Wordsworth kiven expression to the language, the romance and the symbolism of the world of flowers, says The Cleveland Plain Dealer,
 For uncounted ages has this soft bit of color, this little fragment of the rainbow" as Ruskin 50 aptly terms it, been woven into the very warp and wool of human kind.
 Rude sketches of flowers appear in prehistoric caves. Flowers have been rhapsodiSed over by painter, musician, poet and prose writer from the days when the first glimmerings of intelii. gence, and therefore of beauty, were beginning to penetrate the thick skulls of our ancestors. And that great love has been carried down the corridors of the centuries.
 Early these flaming masses of na. lures loyeliness were transplanted from the sunny meadow and the shadows of woodland to the gardens of men. Men and women wanted them before their eyes without taking the trouble to G0 far from their homes. Kings and queens filled their palaces. Wives of humble peasants brought them from the wild places and set them out around thelr cottages.

Starchy Foods Are Important
 For Children
Rr RMrLrE HoFTMAN


 In feeding the growing child the car. bohydrates (sugafs and starches( are especially important. These are fuel foods which supply bodily heat and muscular energy and, naturally, chil. dren require a larger amount Of fuel foods than the average grown person.
 The starchy goods are the principal sources of energy. Breakfast cereals and the various breads rank high among them. Potatoes and sweet po- tatoes are about ofe-fifth starch. Rice, macarofi, farina and tapioca are other foods that register high in starch.
 Sugar furnishes both heat and energy, but this Is 30 amply supplied by othrs foods that sugar can more easily be omitted from the diet than any other food. Both fresh and dried fruits contain considerable sasAr, which should be taken into ebnaiaefa. tion when preparing the school eAlld's menu.
 Excess of starch and sugar ls stored in the liver, hence great excees meAfas oyerwork for the liver and headache, billiousness and even nausea are the result. The nervousness and iFfitA. tability of children is often due Co an excess of carbohydrates in the dist.
 Excessive body fat ia often due Co an excess of carbohydrates in the diet.
 Excessive body fat is often due Co a diet containing more fuel foods than the activity of the body demands. When the fuel foods are insufficient the body draws it's energy from what. ever reserve fat there may be, 90. in order to keep school child ia proper form, the fuel foods demand careful attention.
 When an increase or decrease fn weight is desirable an increase or de- crease in the sweet, starchy or fat foods often meets the demand.
