right idea over the wrong one; 1t Is
the steady pull of the stronger will on
the weaker and wavering one of the
child. If the youngster were well and
strong he would not need the disci-
pline that the routined order Of the day
brings to bear upon him, but as he is
weak and undisciplined and without
power of understanding his own need,

Evening star., 1927-12-09

One Of the most trying tasks OF
motherhood is that of tetaching an un.
willing child to eat his meals. There
are little boys and girls who take
hours to eat two tablespoonfuls of
cereal in the morning and who push
the spinach off the plate and feed the
bread to the convenient cat. Hours OF
time and tons of energy are required
to teach these children to eat. What
can be done with them?
NV experience says that hunger is
the best spur to appetite. If you re.
move the child's food after allowing
a reasonable amount of time for its
consumption, offer no more until the
scheduled meal time, and he will be-
gin to eat. I have never heard of a
child who starved himself to death.
When hunger calls there is no choice.
When one is faced with such prob
lem, the first thing to do is to try
to learn the cause of the dull appe.
tite. Has the child had too much food?
Too Much of One Sort of Food?
Will he refuse one sort and take an.
other? Does he eat between times?
Can he depend upon you to supply
him with the food any time he asks
for it? Does he like the fuss that is
made because he is not eating? Any
and all of these causes carry their
own remedy in the condition that pre-
sents them.
But perhaps the child is a tiny. UNI
derweight, nervous creature who
whines and nibbles and runs away
only to return and take another nib.
BILE? Such children will need to have
the doctor prescribe their diet and

Being a Good Predecessor.

One of the things the engaged girl
usually has to face is meeting her pred
ecessor-that other woman, the old
flame who throw her man over and
usually cracked his heart badly.
No engaged girl, in love, looks for
ward to the prospect. She konws she
is going to hate the other girl. She's
already jealous of her. And yet
curiosity urges her on to the meet
ing.
Few girls know how to be good pred.
ecessors. Sally is a bad one. She
|~s probably the worst type of prede-
cessor to be found today. She has al.
ways thrown them over gayly and
carelessly when she tired of them.
Consequently there are many who
have to regard her as the "other
woman" She is the predecessor of
countless jealous young fiancees and
wives. And each of the men who
were once in love with her has re-
mained on friendly terms with her.
Donald was one of the most abject
of her victims. and even after she
gave him the air with hard finality,
he stuck around. Finally he got over
the affair altogether and married a
nice kid called Muriel.
Muriel knew all about Sally. She
feared her, she dreaded her, but she
was determined to meet her.
Donald arranged it. He took his
new wife to call on the old love. The
old love was in good form. She was
feeling great.
She greeted Muriel with: "Well my
dear, 1 want to tell you right away
that you're one lucky girl. And I
ought to know" this with a signifi.
cant little glance at Don.
They had tea. Sally poured. She
remarked pleasantly: Don, dear, you
know these cups will always remind
| me of that marvellous day we had
together in the old antique shops.
VIII you ever forget it? 1t was such
fun, pottering around those old places
with you. You We're always the most
ideal companion for anything like
that" then hastily to Muriel: "Oh, my
dear, you're not going to be bored
with these "reminiscences. are you? I
can't help them, when I see Don
again."
That's how things went. For the
next hour Sally reminded Don of
tender little scenes, old happiness to-
gether-until Muriel was on the verge
of tears. and even Don vaguely per.
ceived there was something wrong.
although he was having the time OF
his life.
Now that's being a rotten predeces-
sor, and bad sport. The old flame
has the advantage over the new &C.
QUESTION and it's up to her to be a
good sport about it. She ought to
take particular pains to make the new

A good predecessor makes point
Of telling the new wife how nice she
looks-how much in love the husband
seems to be. She is friendly and in
terested and self-effacing. That's a
good predecessor.
Honestly, it seems to me it's the
only fair thing for her to do. After
all, she threw the man over. She owes
him something. Why not pay it back
by being kind and helpful to his new
sweetheart? Why take it out on the

Unwholesome Appetite.

One Of the problems that over.

curbing their appetites for sweets ana
other fattening foods. Since their
bodies do not really need large guam
titles of these foods. the craving Tor
them is an unwholesome one that Is
nothing more or less than bad habit,
just as incorrect posture or na1l-plting
is bad habit.
Habits may be changed-not all at
once, but gradually. The fear that she
must give up indulging her pet crav-
ings for sweetmeats, etc, is prevent
ing many a stout woman from begin
ming a reducing program. She lacks
the will power to strike these foods out
of her diet entirely and she knows 1t.
Between the fear Of getting fatter and
her inability to give up her favorite
dishes, milady is in serious dilemma.
The easiest and most practical way
to solve this situation Is to attack
ones undesirable dietetic habits at a
time and be content with slow but
sure progress toward normal weight.

ginning by a taboo on single item OF

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs G. c. M. writes: do you think
that my 7-months.old baby, who
weighed nine pounds and IL ounces.
and now weighs 20 pounds, has gained
enough?
"At four and one-half months she
had two teeth and now has four.
Should she have more?
''She is very bright and sits alone,
but makes no effort to creep. She
is entirely breast-fed, with the ex-
ception of water and orange juice.
Do you recommend cod liver oil? At
what age do you advise weaning?"
Answer: Methinks this Is a very
new reader. Your baby at 5
months, If she had made the classic
gain, would have weighed nearly 20
pounds. so she has not quite kept up
to schedule. Perhaps this is because
you have not added the foods thought
advisable for a baby this age. We do
advise cod liver oil, especially in Win
ter. and well cooked cereal, as well
as the orange juice. She has the
right number of teeth.
She Is young to begin creeping. and
If she has the opportunity to crawl

Is 1t harmful to eat lemons with

Answer: 1t is a common reaction
for mothers to have "yawning and
hollow feeling" which they interpret
as hunger. 1t is not a real need for
food. but as eating temporarily re-

about a mother having to have the
