WHAT TO DO WHEN
 CHILD WON'T EAT
Do Not Force, Nag or Coax
 Child to Eat Food It
 Refuses
CHILD KNOWS BEST

Every mother has probably been faced with the problem of her child refusing to eat food, yet few moti,- CTS understand the psychology of child eating, according to Stella Crossley, who discusses the problem in s.The Parents Magazine.
 Appetite with us all--and this is especially true of children-is main- ly psychological; that Is, 1t is af- fected by our emotions We know, :" writes Miss Crossley. .that be we ever so hungry when we go into a restaurant. if the waiter sticks his thumb in the soup, or if we suddenly hear bad news, our appetite conn plete1y vanishes. Our emotions stop the flow of digestive juices. Your Mary may be eating her baked po- tato ravenously, but if you start berating her about the glove she lost on the way home from school. her tears will choke her, and she will want no more of anything. Keep your corrections till another time.
 We should make the dining room and table as attractive as pos sible for the children. If feasible, it is best to have them sit at their own little table where their feet can be comfortably on the floor and where the competition with grown-up foods is minimized. Don't put too much on their plates at once One little boy I know got child sized set or doll dishes for Christmas. He serves himself from the warm covered dish in front of him and has a good time taking more than one helping. buttered and lined with a good suet paste. Cover the ton with some of the paste, tie over with pudding cloth, plunge into boiling water, and boil for two hours. Remove from the sauce pan, unite the cloth, turn out on dish, and serve.

PLAN MENUS TO AVOID ACIDOSIS
Alkaline and Acid Forming Foods Listed For
 Reference
KEEP THEM BALANCED

Our life process is a chemical ac- tion with the body trying to main- tain proper balance between acid
 and alkaline substances in the sys- tenn, writes Nell B. Nichols in ''The Parents Magazine. Ordinarily the
 body is able to keep this see-saw under control, but if "the human system becomes extremely acid or extremely alkaline, serious illness is the result.
 "TIe body" reads the article, "has remarkable ability to care for an excessive amount of acidity and aIkalinity, but it is wisdom for the menu planner to lessen the strain by selecting foods from both groups. When threatened with cold, especially it is advisable to eat large amounts of alkaline food, as experiments have shown there is more acid in the system than us- ual at this time. This explains why water containing baking soda some times is taken to prevent colds from becoming serious.
 Knowing to which groups the commonly used foods belong is val uable. According to the home econ-
 omics department of the University
 of Wisconsin, those foods with al-
 kaline reaction, beginning with the
 most, potent and going down to the
 least are the following: Molasses,
 raisins, lima beans, almonds, par
 snips, dates, beets. carrots, figs, ruta-
 bagas, cucunabers, celery, muskmel-
 on, lettuce, potatoes, cocoanuts,
 pineapple, sweet potatoes, plums,
 cabbage, bananas, oranges, toma-
 toes, lemons, string beans, peaches,
 mushrooms, grape juice, apples,
 pears, radishes, whole milk, onions
 and peas.
 "The acid-forming foods in the
 same order are: Egg yolk, oysters, whole wheat cereal, oatmeal, sar- dimes, whole eggs, porterhouse beef,
 chicken, salmon, pearl barley, ham, pork, loin veal, smoked ham, lean beef ribs, leg of mutton, rice, white bread, corn, cheddar cheese, lentils, bacon, egg white, peanuts, green
 corn, cranberries and prunes! {.

If there Is a salad or dessert it Is a good plan to keep 1t out of sight till later on.
