Diet IN Children s Diseases

and, IL the diarrhoea is acute,
should take water only for a day
or two. From liquid diet he should
progress to soft and then to full.
In carrying out liquid diet give
the feelings at two to three hour
intervals. They should be of clear
broths, flour and other sifted cereal
gruels, t.1inned with boiled milk,
buttermilk with Vichy.. koumis,
matted milk made with water with
out sugar or flavoring, or plain tea.
A soft diet to follow the liquid
diet should consist Of oysters
raw, panned or stewed; soft
cooked eggs; Melba toast or
milk toast; weIl-cooked strained
cereals with milk and no sugar;
mashed and baked potatoes;
Spanish cream or custards;
strained, mashed squash, carrots,
peas, sffted; fruits in the form
of very ripe peaches, pineapple
juice; meats such as scraped
beef, broiled lean lamb chops,
and chicken all well minced.
Avoid all ''roughage foods.
cream fat, too much butter, bacon
and salad oil. Use as little water
as possible. If the patient Graves
for sweets, give a little honey.
In chronic diarrhoea provide a
concentrated diet with only a
little water; give easily digested
balanced foods as lean lamb
chops and steak cooked rare, and
broiled or roast chicken, roast
rare beef or lamb, broiled or
boiled white-fleshed fish. Baked
or mashed potatoes; mashed, sifted
soft vegetables: clear soups and
broths; well cooked farina. rice
or hominy; toast, crackers, stale
bread. Cereal buildings with no
fruits, cornstarch and tapioca
buildings with few eggs. gelatine
not very sweet and only slightly
acid, coffee, tea, weak cocoa, but
ter milk. Avoid rich meat or
fish, condiments, heavy fats,
sweets and fruits, except ripe
mashed peaches and pineapple
Juice. Serve few eggs and little
milk. Avoid all roughage.
These suggestions, like every
other practical suggestion In my
articles, should be carried out
only under the advice OF your
regular physician.

NIHE Seabrook children have
IL the reputation of being the
best informed pupils In school.
And they are. Although their
parents are in moderate circum-
stances and neither the mother
nor the father ever went to
college.
Ever since the young Sea-
brooks can. remember, they have
been hearing classical music
from their old graphophone. All
the famous operas are familiar to
their young ears, because they
have heard them over and over
again. They have popular music
also, and the children are at
liberty to play whatever records
they choose. But in quiet hours
lin the summer evenings, on
Sunday afternoon and at all
times when the mind and the
body are at rest for little while
somebody slips on a record of
classical music.
Then when the children are in
a receptive mood the father ex-
plains the operas-tells the
stories in simple dramatic form,
and interprets phrases in language
that the littlest ones can under
stand.
1t is funny to hear the little
girls humming a tune from one
OF the great arias, as they dry
the dishes or set the table. And
1t is still more unusual to hear
the boys whistling such tunes,
while they perform outdoor
tasks, or lounge around the
house. Because this high-class
music has never been forced
upon them, but casually intro
duced at favorable moments, they

politics in city government is forcing thinking men
to seek way to rid themselves of the burdens that
