the middle and late days Of July, they

discovered the ambuSh-a misfortune
for which they were in 10 way re-
sponsible. Herkimer and his force had
gone ON without them to relieve Fort

half a mile or so ahead of the COM

the swamp robin. He hurried toward
his friend. Solomon was In a thicket
of tamaracks.

latter. II see sign o. an ambush"
They hurried to their command and

faced his men about and began a re-

ahead Of them some 20 rods apart. In
FIVE minutes Jack heard SoiOm0n's call

were out after squirrels. Finally Pat
spotted a little gray squirrel high in
the branches Of a tall swamp oak
tree. He took careful aim and blazed
away. The squirrel dropped. Mike
looked first at the dead squirrel then
to the topmost branch Of the tree.
"Pat," he said, "yOu wasted your

Immediately after school encourage
rest, even if it takes a soothing
story to turn the trick. The remainder
of the time until supper should con-
sist of play in the open.
Dinner should consist of a vepe-
table soup, small portion of roast
beef or fish, baked potato and butter,
milk, and a simple fruit or milk des-
sert. For children under seven, no
meat should be given. Substitute eggs
instead. Be generous in the amounts
OF food given. Children need a great
deal more in proportion than 10
adults.
The period after dinner should be
calm and quiet. A child who receives
too much stimulation before retiring
will not sleep WE'LL
Bedtime should come at z or eight
according to the age. All underweight
children should have ten to twelve
hours of sleep. Do not tell scary or
exciting stories but rather quiet
soothing ones. Have windows open
winter and summer for good venti-
lation. Have covers warm but light
weight. Do not use heavy quilts but
warm fleecy blankets.
Last but not least use only positive
psychology. Never suggest the pos
sibility of child not liking a food.
Eat it yourself, and place it on his
plate with the assurance that it is
the only thing to do. Never discuss
child in his presence or worse yet,
discipline him in front of others. A
bit of well deserved praise will go a
long way in bringing up something
you wish done. A contest will do
much. Just consider which you would
prefer, Richard is going to have his
weight up to normal by Christmas
because he is eating the foods that
are best for him." and 81 simply do
not know what to do with John. He
simply will not drink milk" A happy
childhood is the greatest heritage
a parent can give child. Be cheer
full with your children and you will
find it will do much toward making
them the same way.
Outside activities have no place in
the underweight child's program. No
music lessons, dancing, movies, or
athletics until he has reached his av-
erage weight and maintains it for
period Of time. In other words help
him to maintain a calm even trend
and you will do much toward insuring
his health in the future. In the next
issue of this paper will be printed
a score card for parents. Look it up
and see how you measure up in this
greatest of all jobs.

fruit, cooked whole grain cereal and
top milk at least five times per week.
Prepared cereals may be served on
Saturdays and Sundays for change.
A soft boiled egg two or three times
week. Toasted whole wheat bread
with plenty of butter. Milk or warm
water with cream and sugar. Fruit
and cereal should be varied to pre-
vent distaste from monotony. Toast
should be thin and crisp. 1t is good
for the teeth to chew thoroughly On
fairly hard fools.
Children should have one natural
bowel movement each day, preferably
after breakfast. If this habit is
formed early in life a great deal of
trouble will be saved later in life.
Coarse foods such as green vegetables
and fruits as well as whole grained
cereals will do most in the prevention
of constipation.
The child should be started to
school with just enough time to make
the distance leisurely. If he has time
to play before school he will tire him
self out. All underweight children
should have small mid-morning and
mid-afternoon lunch consisting if
possible of milk and waiter or sand
witches. Never candy as it merely
tends to ruin the appetite for the
later meal. When at all possible, ar
range for a midday rest. following
lunch.
Luncheon should consist of a bowl
of cream soup, sandwiches and fruit.
A simple cooky may be added. If the
lunch is carried milk may be substi-
tuted for the soup but a thermos kit
is fine investment for any child's
health.

SUGGESTED PROGRAM FOR
AN UNDERWEIGHT CHILD

Malnutrition is a term used to ex-
..oss that state of health in which
- individual fails to make the prop
- growth. In adults it may work in
two WAYS, one, to cause underweight,
and the other to cause excessive ov-
erweight. We will not mention at
.h;s time, faulty nutrition which
..uses diseases such as brights dis
case In children we do not worry
about them being slightly overweight
80 4 is much better for them to en-
ter adolescence with few pounds
IN excess than with any trace of un-
derweight.
In planning program for the un-
derweight child let us first check up
70 find out whether he is free to gain.
This is done by a thoro examination
hv a competent doctor. If it is found
that decayed teeth, diseased tonsils,
.denoids, or strained eyes are pres
ent they should receive immediate at
tention. Even an adult cannot MAIN
tain normal nutrition if some diseased
.part of his body is throwing pus
into into his system. After these have
been taken care of or if none are
found present, we are free to plan the
building program.
If he is attending school we have
= slightly more serious problem rs
he is with us such short part of the
day. However, we will start at the be-
ginning. Upon rising, wash teeth and
drink glass of water, warm if pos
sible. Wash. Take at least two baths
a week and one daily is best. Breathe
deeply before open window. Break
fast consisting of fresh or cooked
