may take vigilance, but IL Is far
better TO see that your child forms
good habits than to permit bad
habits which will curse his future.
There are plenty Of habits
formed in youth that r q menace
to future good health. Chief OF
these are the habits of eating.
Some persons have digestive organs
which seem capable OF handling
almost anything that falls short Of
rocks and hardware. They appear
TO be able to eat anything and
suffer no i'll effects.
consider il unwise 10 treat any
stomach, no matter how willing il
may be, to such hardships. Chill
dren are apt TO bolt their food, TO
be notional about what they eat,
and TO refuse to eat what Is good
for them. If you are guardian TO
such q child, you must be firm in
helping him to form right habits
Of eating.
1t is important to prevent a child
from forming a habit of eating TOO
much sugar, or too much salt, or
too much meat, or too much Of
anything. He must have a bal
anced diet. and the more variety
Of food he takes the better. Eter-
nal vigilance must be yours in this
habit-forming stage of his career.
We all discover, some time, that
some n thing Is bad for Us. Per
haps we have formed a great liking
for pork, pastry, candy, or one Of
a hundred different things. We
may find that something does not
agree with us, something perhaps
that has stood US in good stead for
years past. Now is the time that
we a. give evidence Of real char
acter by changing our eating hab-
its. We find that we feel better,
and are better, by reducing the
consumption of whatever has been
determined upon as destructive OF
our welfare.
There can be no doubt that GER
tain foodstuffs are poisonous TO
some people. There is no use try
ing to overcome the effects. You
just have to eliminate all or part
Of such a food. Tobacco and alec
hol are In the same category. II
one OF them does you harm and
produces i'll effects in your body
and brain. you just cannot afford
to indulge in il.
Form good sleeping habits. Most
people need eight hours OF good
sleep every night in the week. "day
in and day out" Some get along
on five, but the chances are that
the person who does not get
enough sleep will lessen his body
resistance 70 disease. II u some
thing 10 think about.
Is it your good habit 10 take q
vigorous walk each day, if you are
not exercising your body some
other way? That il also most es-
sential TO your health.

Nothing is so ~nnarring to beauty as spotted
clothing even though it is perfectly apparent that
the spots occurred after leaving home. Of

such a condition is an accident rather than de-
