If your boy or girl is insisting on your cooking potatoes with the skins on. if they tell you that you must cook spinach without water and for only eight minutes lf they refuse to eat white bread. turn their noses up at caeumhers and doughnuts and insist that you serve them a salad day. don't think the youngsters have become food fanatics on their own ac- count Don't blame them and call them notional Blame Cho-Cho .he health clown. who taught them what Is good and what is bad for growing girls and boys during a three quarters of an hour performance at the Bradley Theatre, Tuesday morning.
 lt was upcr-enthusiastic audience that greeted Cho-Cho, lt was a squirm- ing, figiting mass of humanity that anNiously awaited the arrival of the character dear to every childs heart -the clown. Standing in the back of the Bradley Theatre and looking over the theatre. where nearly every seat was taken. and looking at that universal squirm, denoting life and pep. one would vote without question a medal for patience to those teach CTS who have them in charge day in and day out.
 Received With Laughter
 It was an orderly and we'll behaved group of school children, although they denoted impatienee and were ready to laugh the minute Cho-Cho appeared, which he did at ten o'clock, with bells on, from the rear of the theatre. As he passed down the aisle he was greet ed with laughter, cheers and applause. As he passed to the stage and began series of pantomimes the house of children was one roar of mirth.
