john LOSES HIS APPETITE


Children can be perplexing lit
tie animals. Young John johnson
who in all the three years Of his
life has been as regular as clock
work with his meals has gone on
a hunger striks.
The first 1 knew Of 1t was last
Saturday afternoon when Mr. john
son and I were talking on the
porch. We heard Mrs Josnson's
voice inside saying, Eat 1t at
once, John" She sounded 30 ex-
asperated that we peeped through
the open window and saw Master
John sitting at his low table with
his face turned away from his sup
per. His mouth was shut in an OBJ
stinate line, and 1t was quite evil
dent that he had no intention Of
letting food through.
Half an hour later Mrs Johnson
Joined us. She still seemed per-
turbed. well, John has gone to
bed without having eaten q bite Of
supper in spite of all could do"
sheI exclaimed. II don't know
what has come over the child"
"sit down here, Mary" I said,
land don't worry. John isn't the
first child to act that way" But
John never did until this week."
and Mrs johnson seemed almost in
tears. Suppose we try to find q
reason" said. do you think he
may be over-tired? That might
account for it," His routine hasn't
changed" replied Johns mother.
"1e does not seem tired and he
does not seem sick. OF course II he
wasn't well, shouldn't expect him
to eat"
Perhaps you have been trying
him on some new foods them" T
suggested, land he doesn't like
them" Zone day he had green
peas and diced carrots mixed to-
gether. He's had peas before and
carrots before, 20 you can't call
them new foods. But he wouldn't
touch them together. ! coaxed
him at first, but when he was
naughty about 1t. must confess
I gave him q good scoIding."
"The kids as obstinate as q mule
once he takes q notion" put In
Mr. johnson. "But we can't have
him refusing his food: we shall
have to try q spanking II ne
doesn't come round" II don't say
there aren't occasions when a
spanking IL in ORDER" I said, "but
doubt IL this is one Of them. Per-
haps John didn't like the look of
the mixed vegetables; children do
have these notions. Then, Mary,
you rather unwisely made an issue
of It, so the notion hardened into
q determination"
'.well, suppose I did make
mistake there, would that make
him difficult about other meals?"
IT think It might" replied. HE
Is having grand time with you
fussing over him; he enjoys II
even more tlan his food. And he
knows well enough that II he was
good and ate up his supper with
out ado, you would probably take
no notice OF him."
"Oh DEAR" sighed Mrs johnson,
at certainly is hard to be moth
er. What do you think had bet
ter dot" mot take It to heart" ]
replied. "Give John his food, and
II he doesn't eat 1t, after reason
able time take 1t away without any
comment. Don't give him any
thing between meals, but offer
him his next meal at the proper
time, and fe he refuses 1t. take
that away too. Don't scold; don't
coax: don't look anxious; don't
feel anxious. A little fasting
won't hurt the child"
"And would you give him the
mixed peas and carrots again 2"
"Why not let him off lightly? II
those are the vegetables for his

1t all, served with lots Of rich
plain cream.
Food Value Is High
The rest Of the meal may be
sketchy indeed, for there's no rea-
son to have a lot before coming
to the -shortcake. The food value
of such a dessert provides almost
a full meal. Strawberries are a
splendid fruit. rich in minerals
and vitamins. Baking powder bis
cults belong in the "staff-of-li life"
list. And the cream! There's
your milk and butter fat for you.
So my idea of a perfect straw
berry shortcake meal Is one that
begins with hot bullion, goes on
to a crisp vegetable salad served
with French dressing and accom-
panied by Melba toast and finishes
with the shortcake.

Cover with top section and add
more berries. Top with slightly
sweetened whipped cream and
garnish with perfect whole ber-

Instead Of making one large
shortcake the dough can be cut In
rounds to make individual cakes.
These are split and served just
like the large ones.
Waffle shortcakes are specially
nice for breakfast parties. II you
have an electric waffle iron, make
the waffles at the table and serve
them crisp and hot with the crush

delicious and sure to be popular.
Graham crackers or bread and

for shortcakes for small children.
Simply place the prepared fruit

His eyes stared steadily into

tions."

Of seniiity. This, in more familiar
words, means prolongation Of
youth.
Sherman has reached q similar
conclusion in respect to vitamins
A and C, that is to say a more
liberal supply of these vitamins
than is necessary merely to pre-
vent xerophthalmia and night
blindness or scurvy, promotes a
superior state of health and vigor,
and this is what ! mean by an
"optimal vitamin ration" More
vitamins than the majority of In
dividuals get from their food, es-
pecially when they have no know
ledge Of yitamins and take no
thought to include the protective"
foods in their menus.

of Chemistry of Soils) estimated
that q person who eats an egg q
day gets all the vitamin d he needs
even II he takes no other food
containing II. But Barnion (Can-
adam Pub. Health Jour.) showed
that the vitamin d content Of egg
yolk depends on the amount Of ex-
posture Of the hens to sunlight or
ultraviolet rays from artificial
source and upon the amount Of
.vitamin D in the feed of the fowl.
While an egg a day might be suf-
flcient to prevent ricketts,, our pre-
sent knowledge certainly does not
warrant the arbitrary assertion that
an egg q day win furnish suffi-
Client vitamin D to prevent asth-
ma, say, or any OF the various
vague disturbances Of health which
may be due In part to insufficient
vitamin d. Indeed, we are only
beginning to learn about the num-
erous under-par conditions which
are due to partial deficiencies in
the vitamins and are best remedied
by an optimal ration Of vitamins.

imminent danger of war.

the determination of American workers to

Slave Wages on Relief

CPEAKING for the administration, Sem
~ ator Robinson yesterday said that the
fate of the work relief bill is before the
country" He said that "the fundamental
principle of the Presidents proposal is that
work relief employment shall be on basis
that will not invite and attract persons now
engaged in private enterprise"
The excuse for slave wage on work
relief is given. In effect this says: PAY
less than private wages and the unem-
ployed will flock to private jobs"
But where are these private jobs ?"
Seventeen million unemployed are very
real testimony that such jobs do not exist
Roosevelt's demand for a slave "secur-
ity wage" can only be labeled for what it
is-a bare-faced attempt to drive still lower
the wages in industry.
The Russell amendment" is offered by
the Roosevelt gang in Congress as an alter
native to union rates on relief jobs
Briefly, this amendment gives Roosevelt
power to raise work relief pay above the
$50 month average in given localities if
they endanger union rates.
This is pure bluff Once the slave rate
is enacted, legislative machinery will not
move fast enough to stop wage cuts in in
dustry.
Roosevelt has also said that he would
depend upon patriotic employers" not to
reduce wages. Again pure bluff. Once the
administration points the way, every fac
tory in the country will follow.
Meanwhile, the entire work relief pro-
gram has been recommitted to committee
in an attempt by administration forces
through threats and trickery to bludgeon
through its slave wage program.
Senator Huey Long of Louisiana, who
demagogically claims to lead the fight for
prevailing wages" on work relief, has be-
hind him the relief record of his state.
Since the beginning of the crisis, Louisiana
has appropriated exactly $1,697.16 for re-
lief to the tens of thousands of unemployed
of the state.
Every trade unionist, every worker
must redouble the demands upon Wash
ington. Deluge all Senators and Congress
men with the demand for trade union
wages and conditions on all relief jobs !!

The Service Mems Strike

A STRIKE of 10000 building service
"A workers in $40 buildings in the gar
ment fur and millinery districts today
was declared inevitable by James S. Bam-
brick, president of the Building Service
Employees international Union, if owners
of these buildings fail to meet the demands
of the union by today
Threats of strike made before have in
numerous cases remained empty threats.
This brought about situation where the
realty owners, represented by Walter
Gordon Merritt, the notorious open shop
lawyer, hired by the Realty Board, are ig-
noring these threats They went as far
as sapotaging the direct negotiations be-
tween the owners and the union.
With the membership of the union
ready for action to improve their condi-
tions, officials of the union, headed by
Rambrick, permitted continual postpone
ment to the detriment of the interests of
the men. This action of the union heads
played into the hands of the realtors. They
feel, now that every attempt of the mem
bership to strike has been blocked by the
union leaders, that the union can't call an
effective strike
Now is the time for a showdown. The
union is growing into a powerful organi-
zation. The highly unionized garment
center offers the union an exceptional OPP
portunity for a successful strike supported
by the solidarity of the fur, garment and
millinery workers.
Failure of Mr. Bambrick and other
union officials to take advantage of this
opportunity and strike today the garment
center buildings, the owners of which have
not met the demands of the workers,
should be condemned as forsaking the in
terests of the workers for peaceful settle
ments," which have proven futile time and
time again.
Building service workers, strike every
building in the garment center which has
not signed up with the union, whether or
not leaders of the union find it permissible
under the Mayors truce!
No more arbitration, no more talking,
let action of the workers make the bosses
come 70 terms!
Organize all the unorganized building
service workers into the union and make it
powerful weapon in the hands of the
workers.
