PROPER FOOD FOR
YOUNG CHILDREN
Essential Facts About Foods
in Popular Discussion.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
The time-worn question, what shall
we eat?' has been attacked from a
new angle in a government bulletin
written for junior homemakers. Mis-
cellaneous Circular 40, "a Guide to
Good Meals for the Junior Home
Makers" recently published by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, approaches a group not previous
ly appealed to in the literature of nu-
triton. The interest of younger chill
dren has for some time been attacked
by food and health rhymes, by Illus
trations of animated milk bottles,
grinning cereal bowls, and dancing
egg cups. Adults have been encour.
aged through many publications, both
popular and technical, to choose the
right food for themselves and their
offspring But the adolescents at the
pickle-eating, ce-cream-gorging stage
have not until now had government
bulletin solely for themselves.
The authors, Ruth Van Deman and
Caroline L. Hunt, are specialists in
the bureau of home economics. They
have presented the essential facts
about foods in popular discussion. A
novel Introductory paragraph sug-
gests that IL all kinds of foods In the
world were to be assembled in one
market where people of all races came
to buy, the combinations they chose
would have similar food value though
made up of very different foods. For
instance. the Japanese might select
fish, rice, certain legumes, sofa sauce,
bamboo sprouts, and persimmOns,
while the American chose meat, eggs,
milk, bread, a variety of American
fruits and vegetables, but each would
have the markings Of well-balanced
diet. The youthful readers are intro
duced to the term "calorie" in such a
way that it can no longer hold any
mystery for them. They are also adj
vised to keep track of their weight,
to drink at least a pint of milk a day,
to include an abundance of vitamines
and minerals (from the vegetable and
fruit group, and to limit the quantity
of sweets used.

able suggestions to home makers Of

Choosing curtains for the house
brings to mind fabrics of charming
color and texture hanging in graceful
folds. But it is not always easy to
get just the effect the mind first pic
tured, and cost much be considered.
To curtain the windows of even five
room house, about go yards of mate
rial is needed, and curtains generally
have to be renewed every few years.
AS help to homemakers, the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
makes suggestions about curtain fab
RIGS and ways Of hanging them. Cur
tains are an excellent means of fur
bishing UP an old house, or are needed
as the finishing touch to new one
In>p planning curtains remember that
windows are put in houses in order to
admit light and air Make your cur
tains as simple as effectiveness will
permit Elaborate curtains defeat the
purpose of windows and are out Of
place in the average home.
Shape and Size Of Window
Look carefully at the shape and size
of the windows and how they are
placed in the walls. Picture the effect
of curtains of various styles on those
particular windows and how they will
appear from the outside as well as
the inside of the house. If there are
lovely views from the windows, stGdy
how to keep them without sacrificing
privacy and an attractive interior.
An unattractive view may need to be
screened by curtains, but beware of
shutting out too much light.
Study the general style Of your
room. Curtains can help to make a
room homelike and inviting or digni-
fed and formal, depending on the kind
of material used and how it is hung.

rial and hung on straight rod inside

Merits of Soft Custard
and Cream Are Outlined

Some people always make soft
custard for pudding sauce instead of
using cream AS to the relative
merits of soft custard and cream used
in this way, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture makes the follow
ing explanation Soft custard, for
which the proportions are pint of
milk, the yolks of three eggs, one
quarter cupful sugar, one-eighth tea
spoonful salt, and any desired flavor
ing, is very much like ordinary cream
in composition except in the matter
of iron. OF that important element a
given amount of custard contains
three or four times as much iron as
the same amount of cream. 1t is to
be recommended, therefore, for those
who specially need iron. Children
who get most of their protein from
milk are likely to be more in need of
iron than of calcium. Adults, on the
other hand, who get most of their pro-
tein from meat are likely to need cal
cium more than iron. In general,
therefore, the soft custard is better
for children, and cream just as good
or better for grownups. Since cream
differs in price very little with the
season, the economy involved in using
soft custard depends chiefly ON the
price of eggs.

Take Steps to Combat
Pncifsf Propagarada

Active steps to combat radical paci-
fist propaganda against the national
defense program Of the United States,
and particularly against military
training in the schools and colleges
of the country, are being taken by the
American Legion.
At a recent meeting Of the Legion's
national executive committee, printing
and distribution in large quantities Of
a pamphlet, setting forth the value OF
military training in colleges and ex-
posing the character of the propa-
ganda against it, was ordered.
The pamphlet was prepared under
the direction Of a national defense
council formed by the Legion. This
consists of Brig. Gen. L. R. Gignilliat

and has the effect of decreasing the
height of room and window.
Before buying curtain material, get
samples of the kinds that seem most
suitable and see how they go with
walls woodwork, floor and furniture,
by both day and artificial light. Strong
light shining through curtain fabrics
often brings out striking effects not
suspected until put to this test. Tx
cellent curtain materials can some
times be found among the dress goods.
Fabrics and eolors that will clean
well and Withstand light, are the best
bargain in the end Examine also for
defects in the weave that may show
up when the curtains are hung.
With figured wall paper, choose
plain-colored curtain material. If the
walls and most of the furnishings are
plain the curtains may be figured, but
preferably with the background the
same color or slightly deeper than the
walls With cream walls, for Instance,
a cretonne with soft tan background
and figures that repeat the colors used
elsewhere in the room might be suit
able for living and dining rooms
In selecting figured materials give
preference to conventional designs
that will stand the test of being looked
at day after day.
