Malnutrition in Children.

II can't understand why Jimmy is
so skinny. He is not growing very

and big for his age," comments
Jimmy's mother.
Tom is big for his age, strong as

had the right kind of food and health

The number of pounds a boy or girl
gains year, as we'll as the number
of inches he or she stretches out, is

If the youngster seems to be losing
weight steadily, or not gaining nor
mally, he should be taken at once
to a competent physician to find out
if there are physical defects that
should be corrected--like bad teeth or

also be sure that no disease, like tu-
berculosis, is developing.

What kind of seaweed is it that
one eats? Where can it be obtained
and at what price? How should it
be prepared and how much and how
often eaten? Is it really any good?
What beneficial effects has it?-
j. L. A.
Several varieties of seaweed are
used as food. The best known of
these are agar agar, Carragheen or
Irish moss, dulse and laver. Ordi-
nary seaweed that is gathered along
our own Atlantic seaboard may also
be dried, ground fine and mixed with
cereals.
To return to the different varieties,
Carragheen or Irish moss is perhaps
the best known. This is used chiefly
for jellylike desserts and puddings,
for certain conditions of stomach ir-
ritation. Dulse is edible purple sea-
weed, especially abundant along the
New England coast. This consists
of flat fronds, fan-shaped and usually
subdivided. 1t may be eaten raw as a
relish or it may be boiled in water.
cooked in milk and served with butter
as vegetable with fish or meat. Or
it may be added to stews.
AS for the food value of these edible
seaweeds, it has been only com
paratively short time that they have
been valued for anything but their
bulk. Scientists now, however, are

as the case may be, these vegetables

Another way for making the vege-
table omelette is to cook the vege-

them nicely and arrange in border

way is to arrange a layer of these

During the warm weeks the prob
lem of meat is rather a complicated
one. There is a difference of opinion
about this article of food. prefer to
have moderate quantity represented
in the Summer meals. Meats served
in Summertime should, however, be
as light as possible, with only an occa-.
sional savory dish of the heavy meat
by way of adding variety to the meal
problem.
For example. lamb chops may be
placed in the frying pan and covered
with strips of salt pork. with an onion
cut up and a few slices of peppers
placed on the top, the whole being
covered with water with a tight lid on
top. This serves as the foundation for
a very good Summer dish. 1t is
praised delicately in the simmering of
the hot water so that the whole dish
is easily digested. / am again re-
minded to call attention to the fact.

should not be cooked in these more

PLANNING A WEEKS FOOD

There has been an attempt to in
troduce dishes that are decidedly out
of the ordinary. While chop suey, for
example, is rather heavy for Summer,
it can be made very nicely with
chicken instead of pork. If made of
chicken, bamboo sticks may be added
to the mixture and the mushrooms
omitted
Another different dish is that Of
