SOFT DIETS

While fasting must not be consid-
cred a "cure-all." II is indicated At
the beginning Of the treatment for
any disorder. as practically any pa
tient IS benefited by an exclusive
fruit. vegetable or milk diet for .
time.
do not advocate the ordinary soft
diets sometimes given in hospitals
which consist of . mixture Of milk
custards. gyuels and soups. This diet
is sometimes given after an opera
ton by the doctor who believes that
these foods are more readily cigested
than the ordinary food served IN the
hospital. This assumption is a serious
mistake. and am sure that some Of
the complications from operations
arise because Of the wrong diet.
II cussards are properly made with
out the addition of sugars and
starches they will be quite readily di-
geSted and not produce unpleasant
disturbances in the al;mentary canal.
Milk requires much time for its di-
gc-ticn and unless used in the right
way more harm can result from the
thickened curds than If ordinary
foods we're used. 1t takes from four
to six hours for Z glass of milk to
leave the stomach and if other foods
are used at the same time it may
take longer
Mushes of all kinds arc inclined to
cause digestive disturbances because
Of the large amount Of starch they
contain. Oatmeal mush or Cruel.
which is commonly used. is irritating
to the stomach and should be used
only by those who are in good health
There is no reason for giving this
highly starchy food to a patient who
is confined to bed. One Of the great
est difficulties efter an abdominal
operation OF any kind is TO avoid ex-
cessiye flatulence. and for this rea-
son starchcs and sugars should be
avoided
If there is reason for using a
soft diet, it is far better to use a
soft cooked egg combined with some
of the non-starc1y vegetables. such
as spinach, summer squash, string
beans. etc. These vegetables should
be cooked in small amount of water
mashed ard seasoned with cream. if
desired. In place Of the egg it is all
right to substitute Salisbury steak to
limited amount.
Occasionally. still advise an exclu-
sive water fast but only for a few
days to assist in flushing the system.
This is sometimes advisable ct the
start of the treatment for arthritis,
rheumatism. cvstitis and various toxic
diseases. The best method is for the
patient to drink one or two glasses
OF distilled water every half hour dur
ing his waking hours. In this manner

YOUR
CHILDREN
y Nie Rbe,zs Bo,7no
oH2S By RA Serv;ce.Ine

The human body and human mind
are peculiar things. They DO not
wear out with use, but with abuse
and one of the most pernicious forms
Of abuse is idleness.
A body will rust out and a mind
will rust out, much. more easily than
they will wear out Too much work
lis bad, but too little is worse. This
goes for children. too. although in
their case We must class work and
play together under the head of 'ac-
tivity." Play is Natures way of de-
veloping every mental and physical
process child possesses. If he
spends hours aimlcssly idle. he will
become a dullard.
Don't Overdo Reading
Reading is excellent, but there is
one trouble with too much time spent
on books. A child who reads con-
stAntly is living vicariously-picking
up impressions through the expert
ences of others, either in fact or fic-
ton. He is not coming into first
hand contact with life-not getting
his knowledge and impressions from
actual experiences of his own. Read
ing should never monopolize q child's
time to the exclusion of other things.
He should read, Of course. not only
for the knowledge gained but to
exercise that necessary and whole
some thing called his imagination.
But he must do other things too. He
should have work to do. certain du-
ties every day that he must feel alb
solutely responsible for; but it
should not tax him too much nor
take all of his time out of school.
The greatest harm We can do chill
dren is to allow them to be habitu-
ally idle.
Encourage Activity
They should be mentally or physi-
cally active. or better still. both.
most of their waking hours. Little
children. of course. must have inter
walls for sleep and rest-and for that
matter older children should rest.
too. for a short time through the
day. the length of time depending
on their age, strength and health.
But children should be busy-not
driven. please remember, nor run to
death. nor imposed upon. but busy:
So many parents think play time
is waste time. What a fallacy!
A little Of everything and not too
