Diet Changes Up to Six Months.

In preparation for the changes that

tious amounts during the first six
months. One cannot say to ones self,

baby orange juice" and then with
blithe disregard for his digestive ap-
paratus begin on the next day to
give the child the amount Of orange
juice which seems required by his
age. 1t just isn't done that way.
One realizes that orange juice is

custom the baby to this new food.
BY the time he is well into the sixth
or seventh month orange juice will
be an old story to him and give him
no trouble. 1t is exactly the same
with all other foods, and so when
starting any food the first thing to
remember Is that II should be started
in very small amounts and gradually
increased until the baby is taking the
amount he needs for nourishment.

months of age may have one-half tea

SUB ROSA
Nothing So Dead as Dead Love.
BY MIMI.

At the risk Of wearying the patient
readers who come to me with their
problems from time to time. must
take the typewriter in band to launch
forth on one of my favorite topics.
This column has dealt with the sub
ject of dead love more than once: But
still the letters pour in full of heart
broken appeals for help-help in get
ting back the wandering boy friend.
It sounds so cruel and cold and
heartless to tell these despairing
maidens that there isn't any help for
case like theirs.
Even If I do tell them the brutal
truth they never believe me. After
reading my words Of wisdom, they
doesn't understand. He really loves
me, and there is some way / can get
him back. I'll try something else"
If l could persuade any one of you
suffering damsels to believe me I'd
think 1 had done a big days work
to make you realize that when the
man is gone he's pretty nearly always
gone forever
For the girl who pines and means
sweetheart back wastes sometimes
years of her life on vain hopes and
idle dreams.
It is an awful thing to have to write
''finis" after something that has been
pleasant and exciting-romantic and
stimulating.
1t is horrible to see some one that
you love go away to care for some
body else. But some day in some way
every girl must learn to end things
bravely-she must just shut her eyes,
give a terrific wrench and set about
readjusting herself to the new life.
which will seem SO dismal and lonely
at the first.
Once a boy has walked out of your
life telling you fatty or showing you
plainly that his love Is dead, the only
sensible thing to do Is to accept that
word as final.
Useless to hope and pray and work
to get him back Much better to
concentrate on something else.
Only in that way will you attain
peace and eventually happiness. You
won't ever win man back by des-
perately striving for his affection.
Your only possible chance-and even
tlat is fairly slin-is to busy yourself
with other people and other interests
until he is piqued by your Indifference
into coming back.
Usually, however, the serious-mind-
ed man who definitely decides that he
has made a mistake-does not change
his mind soon again.
Men are not as variable as girls.
They do not one evening decide sud-
denly that they're through with a
certain girl-and then two evenings
later suddenly realize that that par
ticular girl is the only person in the
world who can make them happy.
No, they are rather apt to mean
"finis' when they say it, and the wise
girl, however heartbroken, accepts
their words as the end of the romance.
It's the hardest thing in the world
this facing the end of things cour-
the girl who is brave enough.

Clog Dancing for Cold Feet.

There IS a definite relationship be-
tween cold feet and red noses, but
most 6 .rls who would make a heroic
effort to endure the former with a
smile are much veXed if their noses
take on a magenta hue in cold
weather. For il appears that comfort
is one thing, but beauty is quite an
other. OF course, it Is only natural
that nose, cheeks and chin should be
Redeemed somewhat by Winters chilly
blasts, but there is q difference be-
tween the blush red nose of the per.
son with poor circulation and the
moderately ruddy skin of a normal,
healthy individual, both of whom are
exposed to the same amount of cold.
Since there is no cream or lotion
no external application, in fact-that
can produce healthy circulation, 1t
is necessary to accomplish the de-
sired result through exercise. Any
exercise that brings the large mus
cles into play will be helpful. Run.

come deeper and warm the body to
its extremities.
A special exercise for Quickening
the circulation in cold feet is an
adaptation Of soft-shoe clog dancing.
IL lS n SliIIle SleI) dleGF one has
grasped the idea and learned to exc.
cute it rapidly with scarcely a con-
sciOus thought. Stand erect with
heels together and arms hanging
loosely at the sides. Raise left leg
backward, bending the knee, then
swing 1t forward brushing the floor
with the ball of the foot as you do

forward swing, tap the floor sharply
with the toe. then bring the foot back
to starting position, throwing your
weight on the whole sole and begin
ming the backward swing. brush, tap
with the right fot. Let shoulders,
arms and hips swing easily with the
foot movements. Faithful practice
will develop speed. The faster the
step is done the better, provided, OF
course, that the movements are exc.
cuted correctly and with precision.
Just as 1t Is more interesting to
play simple melodies than to conf1ne
ones self to scales, so a little dance
composed Of several easy steps is
more fun to do than are plain exer-
cises. The clog step that I have de-
scribed may be used in this way after
its simple technique has been thor.

high and helpful ideas are coming to

But whatever the thoughts, they

or the time spent is wasted SO far
as our lives are concerned. 1t may
be that the action consists in remold.
ing Of ideas SO that we understand
persons better. This means that we
act differently toward them. For as
we think Of people so do we act to-
ward them-kindly, loving. generous.
ly. ETC., or harshly, unkindly. dis
agreeably. etc.
Fine Distinction.
It is the thinking that Is to no pur.
pose that we should try to help our
children to avoid. 1t is surprising
how little thinking to q finish -
done. The mind has to be constantly
drawn back to the subject when
person is learning to think consecu-
lively. 1t cannot be permitted to
follow any but the one central idea.
though it can and should view II
from every conceivable angle In order
to come to correct conclusions. There
is nothing monotonous about reVolv.
ing an idea in ones brain. It Is an
Illuminating thing to do. 1t clarines
thought to set ones mind to focusing
on 1t Just as 1t clarifies and intensi.
fies vision to adjust opera glasses
until they focus right. Then we see
hidden beauties as well as more dis
tinct details.
Viewpoints.
Since thought, then, is Of such vital
Importance, trained thinking should
be taught children. both by parents
In the home and by teachers In the
schools. One way to help children
to do this Is to ask them what they
think about definite things. Do not
laugh at their expressed ideas or they
will learn not to tell you. II their
ideas are totally at variance with
your own, you may be set to think
ing. It often happens that children
have singularly clear vision. But II
their ideas are far astray, help them
to reason out why an opposite concep-
ton Is right. This will stimulate the
parents reasoning powers also.
Home Lessons.
When IL comes to lessons the power
to think conSecutlvely is invaluable. A
child who knows how to think well.
can get work done in a fraction Of
the time required by the child whose
mind goes off at a tangent at the
slightest diverting notion. A person
who does not have the ability to think
things out makes but a poor flzZle OF
life. He may learn by rote as a parrot
during the earlier years of school. but
in higher studies he is sorely ham,
pered He never rises above certain
place in business because he has not
the grasp. The woman whose
thoughts are unframed is n poor
because she cannot plan
well. 1t takes good use Of persons
brain to manage a household eff.
ciently. 1t takes careful thinking to
understand children, so parents
should have learned to think when
they were young in order to train
their offspring in this important func-
tion.
