Could this happen to my baby later?
Answer-It is seldom that one has
the lesson of proper food brought
home so forcibly as in your own case
It is true that children should take a
quart Of milk a day. but it should be
in addition to a well balanced and am
pie diet. The milk is the food which
insures the diet being adequate when
all other elements are present also.
Sometimes a child will be stimulated
to eat more food il only one-half this
amount Of milk is given as beverage,
and the other half in combination with
solid foods.
Say little or nothing about the
child's lack of appetite. Offer the veg
etables twice day and be content if
she takes a few spoOnfuls each time
Judiciously Offering one extra spoon
full occasionally will gradually increase
her intake of these.
Cod liver oil makes an excellent
tonic and increases the appetite. Then

the vegetables so that they look and

Keep her outdoors. Give her plenty
Of opportunity for rest. A tired child
is always an appetiteless one. Let
her help you cut up the carrots for her
dinner or wash the spinach. She'll
like the finished product so much bet

Invite a small companion to eat
lunch with her. Choose a child who
eats what is put before her without
comment. She will be an inspiration
and model for imitation Some of
these methods should help you over

lily the married couples will go out

night club, where they will dance until
the cleaners begin to pile up the chairs
and mop the floor.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, November "a.

Through tomorrow benefic aspects
are strongly dominant, according to
astrology, which reads in the stars
many pleasant auguries.
Although there may be a tendency
toward irritability and nervousness in
the morning, the hours later tend to
bring pleasant memories and interest
ing associations.
The day may inspire introspection
and fieeting sadness for women who
recall past griefs, but it should be
most helpful in all it's influences.
There is a rule read as forbidding
to relatives who insist on remember
ing one another's ages, as quarrels
are easily precipitated under this
sway.
Uranus Is Sin a place making for
inspiration through meetings with
friends. but romance may not flourish
while the configuration prevails.
This is read as a most auspicious
rule for the selection or presentation
of gifts.
Under this planetary government
the greatest benefits may accrue from
visits to relatives, especially to the
aged.
All the influences are promising for
rest and recreation. The evening is
an auspicious time for entertaining
celebrities and persons of various de-
grees of prominence.
Dangers to the Nation are foreseen
by the seers, who counsel kindness
in Judging foreign policies.
The day Is an auspicious one for
the President and his family, who
should enjoy some special honor.
Food prices. which will continue to
rise, may be exceedingly unsatisfac-
tory to all but the wealthy, it is fore
told.
