MARVEL OF "PEEPERS',''

One of the most wonderful calls of
Natures creatures is that Of Picker
ing's Hyla or spring pepper. The high
penetrative whistle, coming from the
marshes and ponds In the first warm
days, is executed by tiny species Of
tree frog, not over three-quarters Of
an inch long. Imagine what steam
whistle blast would come from human
throats If their lung capacity and vo-
cal organs had the same proportionate
power as the peppers.

Nutrition Nuggets

Most of us know how important it
is to have iron in our food. The
actual quantity of iron in the body
itself is very small, not quite one
tenth of an ounce in the entire body
of an adult. In sspite of this, iron
is closely related to the processes that
make nutrition normal. In planning
a diet that will provide adequate iron
for the day, one has the satisfaction Oh
knowing that many of the Ioods
chosen will give the body at least
appreciable amounts Of phosphorus ana
lime also.
Among foods rich in iron we find
whole milk, egg yolk, lean beer, Whote
wheat, dried peas, spinach pfunsa'
peanuts and walnuts and almonds.
Foods containing conslderabie iron III
slightly less quantities are Whole eggs
cheese oatmeal, cabbage, turnip tops
and oranges.
axcent to those who know all about
subject. and while this is especially
true in the matter of nutrition, IL
NAV perhaps be allowable TO state
that Of all the known vitamtns tbs
one known as the fat soluble Vitamin
is most important for nutrition ana
growth. In order to insure vitamins
in sufficient quantities see that the
following foods are well represented
in the diet. Raw apples, baked beans
fresh string beans, fresh butter, raw
cabbage, carrots. celery, cheese eggs,
grapes, milk, potatoes, spinach and
tomatoes. These are not by any
means the only foods containing THESE
important vitamins, but they are the
ones that are near the top Of the list
AS in the case of mineral salts, w1ef
seeking to add one vitamin TO the diet.
it is gratifying to remember that mos
of the foods at least supply reason
able quantities OF them.
1t has been found that ricketts, may
be caused either by too little lime
and phosphorus in the diet, by too
little of the vitamins that are direct
help in preventing ricketts, and by too
little sunlight. In planning our de-
pendence on sunlight remember that
1t has no effect If it touches the skin
through window glass. 1t may come
either direct to the skin or through
certain substances that have been
treated with this especially in mind.
Although it is quite permissible to
employ general standards of dietary
making, the modern opinion unites ir
feeling that the food needs of each
member of the family should be com
puted according to the sex, age,
weight and physical condition Of each
Individual.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY wINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

Truly our city fathers have much
to answer for "A little girl in
Brooklyn" writes her mother, goes
to such an overcrowded school that
her hours are from 1890 to $780,"
Naturally this has disrupted the
chiIds meal hours. The mothers
question is a practical one. Her
daughters dinner must be served at
IL o'clock at the latest, and this means
that the youngster has no appetite.
When I read that the child who has
been accustomed to a noon dinner is
adjusting herself TO the new schedule
with great difficulty and is in danger
of losing her present good health,
confess / was dismayed.
One question of the mothers is this.
Would it be possible to omit break.
fast altogether except for fruit juice
and to let the little girl have her din.
ner at 1890 in the morning? Luckily
for this child, she has very intelli.
gent mother and one who sees the
dangers and is ready to meet them.
Unquestionably this is a problem
that means inconvenience to some
one, and it looks as if the inconven-
fence must be met by the mother, If
the childs health is to be preserved
Mothers have such a way, however,
of meeting inconvenience, where
| their children are concerned, that they
ought to be used to it by this time
So here, to the best of my ability
| Is the situation analysed Even for
grown-ups a radical change in the
meal schedule is bad. In the case
of children 1t is positively dangerous
Equally dangerous would be curtail-
ment of the little girls food require
rnents.
Suggestion number one, then, is
| that the child go to bed early enough
so as to be sound asleep by O'Clock
The solution begins here, and the sue
cess of the experiment will depend on
conscientious attention to detail at
| this point. The lights in her room
will be out, the window open, and, as
| said before, the child herself in
dreamland at o'clock, and asleep.
| Then comes breakfast at am.
| This gives her time to eat unhurriedly
and makes 1t possible for her to have
| her dinner at IL, If necessary, but not
, earlier.
! When she comes home at 4 o'clock
| there must be rigid attention to nap
j or at least rest lying down
| Since this wise mother can show
proof that she knows how to feed her
little girl, it will hardly be necessary
! for me to outline a diet. / must say
emphatically. however, that there
must be absolutely no cutting down
| of the food which the little girl has
been receiving. The plan I have pro
posed is a choice of evils, since it will
be increasingly difficult for this young
ster to have all the rest that she
needs. 1t seems TO me, however, that
1t is the lesser evil and that until the
school schedule can be made more
reasonable it is the only thing to do
