pleasant, or is there disciplining, quar-
reling or any other disturbing feature?
8. Is your childs appetite affected by
the presence of company or by eating
away from home? If that Is the case,
has it been happening often enough to
make an appreciable difference In the
amount of food he gets?
9. AS a child is easily distracted from
eating by the conversation and little
happenings at the family table. 1t is
usually best to have him eat by HIM
self but he must not get the idea that
he is removed from the table as a

Food for COnvalescents.
After a child has been i'll and is on
the road to recovery, then is the time
to make haste slowly. Plenty of rest
is one of the first needs, and the right
kind of food is of the greatest i'm
portance If ever food should be PLAN
ned with thought and care, 1t should
be for the convalescent child. In addi-
ton to normal needs, there is much
lost ground to be retrieved.
If a doctor asks you to serve liquid
diet and does not give special direc-
tions. he means that you should serve
the following: /. Broth or clear soup.
2. Gruels well strained. 3. Milk and
milk drinks, and milk or so-called
cream soups. 4. Beef juice and beef
tea. S. Fruit juices 6, Ices, ice cream
and junket.
Soft diet is the next step toward a
normal routine. This consists of every
thing that is in the liquid diet, and in
addition includes well-cooksd cereals,
milk toast, soft-cooked eggs, baked
potatoes. strained vegetables tbest in
soups, some cooked fruit apple sauce
and strained prunes), and simple des-
ssrt buildings such as custardS, gelatin
desserts, blanc mango, souffies and
whips. AS you add foods to the diet,
take care that you do not make the
meals too complicated. Simple meals,
consisting of a few well-cOoked and
carefully seasoned foods, are best even
as a normal diet is approached.
After the soft diet comes the con-
valescent diet, which approaches the
normal diet, since it consists of simple,
we'll balanced meals, composed of foods
that are recognized as being easy to
digest. There should be a gradual
change from the soft diet to the con-
valescent and the same gradual change
from the convalescent to the normal.
When following the convalescent diet,
you should add to the soft diet the
following foods l.. Prepared cereals;

lowed them when he is in normal
health.
To make beef tea allow one pound
of chopped lean beef to stand in two
cupfuls of cold water for two hours.
Heat slowly in a double boiler. Stir
constantly until it steams. Strain
through cheesecloth that has been
wrung out from cold water. Cool and

School Lunches.
Grown people prefer to eat food
that has been prepared without their
help. A child delights in helping in
the preparation of his food. Let him
wash. wipe and wrap the fruit, or
crack the nuts. if any are used. and,
if time permits. cut the bread In
this way he will gain a knowledge of
wholesome foods and their preparation,
and may cultivate taste for them
by this means.
Here are three wholesome school
luncheonS for healthy child:

Egg Sandwich Filling two
cupluls of water to the boiling point
drop in an egg, cover the pan, remove it
from the fire, and let the egg remain in
it for one hour at the END of which
time it will be solid but tender. Chop,
season. and moisten it with milk. If
the egg is cooked in boiling water, it
will soon become solid, but tough and
hard to digest.
Cheese Sandwich Filling -Scrape
fresh cream cheese with a fork and sea-
son it with salt.
Nut-Date Filling-Wipe 10 dates, re-
move the seeGs. grind OF chop the dates
with six nuts. and moisten with milk or
cream, so that the mixture may be
spread.
Nut-Fig Filling four figs and six
nut meats and prepare in the same way
as for nut-date filling.
Cocoanut Sandwich.-Spread bread
with butter and sprinkle with shredded
cocoanut.
Dried Apricots some dried
apricots thoroughly. Cover with cold
water and allow them to stand for sew
eral hours. or until they are plump, then
cook them until they are tender. Re-
move them from the fire and sweeten.
Dried fruit thus prepared can scarcely
be distinguished from canned fruit.

A diet from which all fats and oils
have been eliminated Is advisable only
in cases where there are tendencies
to certain ailments. Fresh butter and
oil have a very definite function in the
diet butter, because it Is an energy
food, rich In vitamin A; and oil be-
cause of its lubricating effect. In gen.
eral we do not use enough oil. 1t
should have a much larger place in
the diet of persons who are leading a
sedentary life, and high-strung, nerv-
Gus persons.
The spoonful OF oil which old-fash-
Toned mothers still administer on &C.
casion to their children would be
equally beneficial for adults. But oil
is not to be considered merely as a
lubricator. 1t is an ingredient which
gives palatability to many a dry dish,
Oil can be utilized in a hundred
ways, the commoneSt of which Is per-
haps French dressing. There are many
varieties of it, but the simplest and
the one most relished by connoiSSeurs
Juice, pepper, salt and sometimes a
dash Of mustard. The amount of each
depends on personal taste. but always
the oil should predominant over the
vinegar This dressing can be used
also with artichokes, boiled FISH and
asparagus, as substitute for the usual
cream sauce.
Nayonnaise is another connection in
to which oil enters largely, but many
have trouble in the making of this
dressing If few drops of lemon juice
are added to the egg yolks after they
have been stirred thoroughly. the may
cnnaise will be sure to thicken as good
mayonnaise should. The oil-about a
cupful to two egg yolks--should then
be added drop by drop. as more stir
ring goes on, and at the end. add a
few more drops of lemon juice for
the tang.
A delicious variation Of plain may
onnaise is made by adding a little beef
extract or meat gelatin. Another, by
poaching the whites Of the eggs in a
pan of boiling water. passing them
through a sieve. After drying them
chop parsley and green's very finely
put them in and then mix the whole
with mayonnaise.

without circumstances, too. If he
finishes a meal, he does not have to
wait for interested groWnups to finish
a discussion before he may have his

But even under ideal training con-

bad habit is allowed to continue, 1t
may lead to very cantankerous atti-
tude toward food which will make
trouble all through life.
While all rewards have their danger,
the gold star chart method often works
wonders with small children. The
small boy or girl dearly loves to COL
lect things. If you make out simple
chart of this kind. begin by listing
every day of the week. Give Junior a
gold star for eating all his breakfast,
every bit of his breakfast, every bit
of his lunch, and finishing his supper.
The gold stars can be bought at any

star for each meal With the older

Never take away gold star as pun

it is earned, no matter what your

other way :. but never confiscate a
gold star once earned.
In planning your child's meals, bear
in mind that a good breakfast is very
important Fruit, cereal, milk and
bread-essentia,s of good breakfast
can be varied by using different cereals
and selecting different fruits-espe-
cially at this season of the year.

outward signs Of undernourlshment
may be slow in appearing, but the re-
suit is disastrous and permanent.
Good food habits should be established
early. A child needs more food IN pro-
portion to his size than an adult. A
boy from the age of 1917 probably
needs more food than his father.
A quart of milk a day, eggs, cereals,
fruits, and vegetables should constitute
the diet of child of pre-school age.
Children will like milk served In ice
cream, custards, white sauce, soups and
other dishes. Preparations are now
available for making junket in various
fiavors as well as various colors, the
color tending to detract from the bland
appearance of the white product. Soft
custards and baked custards, blanc
mango, and gelatin jellies should all be
a part of the meal-planning for chill
dren. The color, flavor and consis-
tency may be varied in order to pro-
vide interest. Meat should be sparingly
used when introduced in the diet OF
normal child. Ice cream, fruits, dates,
and ground nuts should be frequently
substituted for candy.
Following is a days food plan for
child or years old
pm.-Orange Juice or prune juice,
or apple sauce. Whole cooked cereal.
Whole milk. Toast or dry bread.
1890 am.-Milk. Bread and butter.
pm.-Milk or milk soup with vege-
table juice or pulp. Egg. soft cooked.
Sifted green vegetable, such as spinach,
asparagus tips or peas. Buttered stale

cereal pudding.

fruits. such as a baked apple or

tells more of home training than table
manners. The meal hour is a social
hour. 1t should be characterized by a
genial spirit and good cheer. Teach
children to assist in the table service

Every person who is troubled with
gas in the stomach and bowels should
get a package of Baalmann's Gas Tab
let's and see how quickly they will re-
lieve all distressing symptoms.
Sharp pains in the abdomen or about
the heart are often due entirely to gas
pressure. Sometimes the circulation is
restricted causing the hands and feet
to grow numb. Usually there is much
gurgling or rumbling in the bowels.
Many sufferers complain of a gnawing
feeling in the stomach, extreme nerv-
BUSINESS, heartburn, drowsiness after
eating, headaches, dizzy spells or Ia
bored breathing.
Baalmann's Gas Tablets taken at
meal time not only prevent all bad ef-
fects from gas. but they invigorate the
weak nerves of the stomach and assist
in restoring the whole digestive system
to proper working order.
