many concentrated foods, too few
crisp raw ones that stimulate ap-
petite.
Fatigue a Factor
Occasionally, a child does not
eat well merely because he is too
tired. Even though he obtains ade-
quate sleep at night, too much or
too prolonged exercise or excite
ment may result in fatigue during
the day. If child spends too
much time with adults, overstim-
ulation may be the result. And
in the case of older children, their
school work may be troubling
them.
Another frequent cause of lag
ging appetite is the constant nerv-
GUS tension to be observed in
some households. If child is al
lowed to become unhappy. angry,
or worried over some uncomplet-
ed school assignment, it may in
terfere seriously with his appe-
tite and consequently with his nu-
triton. With younger children,
the fact that they are able to at
tract favorable attention from
adults by refusing to eat often
stimulates them to repeat their
refusal as long as mother shows
concern over their antics.
Parents Attitude Important
This brings us to perhaps the
most important factor in dealing
with the young, finicky eater who
eats sparingly and whose dislikes
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1938-12-09
WHAT to EAT and WHY

usually far outnumber his likes.
Such child must be encouraged
tactfully to eat wide variety Of
foods, but mothers must not be
over-solicitous, nor must they be-
come obviously angry or irritated
when the child refuses food.
Scolding, punishment and threats
of punishment should be avoided,
as they defeat their purpose. Re-
member, too, that precept Is
powerful teacher, and that
child's dislike for certain foods
may have been instilled by a
none-too-guardedly expressed dis
like of similar food on the part
of an adult.
Some Helpful Hints
1t may be necessary for the en-
tire family to live more quietly,
in order to give the finicky eater
chance to be quiet and relaxed.
There must be regularity of meals
and mealtimes must be peaceful.
Keep the table conversation gen.
eral and impersonal in character
before older children. See to it
that younger ones eat by Them
selves.
Often a short rest before meals
will help a child to become re-
Taxed completely. And frequent
ly, new method of presenting
foods will result in a changed at
titude on the part of the child.
Foods for young children should
not be seasoned too highly. In
general, condiments should be
avoided. Strong-fiavored vegeta-
bles, as a rule, are not well liked,
and if introduced in the young
child's diet should be combined
with some familiar, and mild-tast-
ing food. In cooking vegetables,
keep the pieces large enough so
that the child can identify what he
is eating. Include crisp food in
each meal.
Finally, remember that
child's eating habits cannot be
changed overnight. Changes
should be introduced gradually, so
that he is scarcely aware Of what
is going on.

THESE two designs bring you
= brand new fashions for mid
season dresses you'll thoroughly
enjoy wearing to all the luncheons
and festive afternoons of the holt
days. They're so easy and simple
to do that you can finish them in
plenty of time.
Drape-As- Y 0u-Please Dress.
This is not only new-it's the
very newest, a real sensation, and
so easy to make! 1t is made with
a straight back and bias cut front
that you can wear with the full
ness at the sides, fullness all
round, like dirndl, or fullness
concentrated in front, as the pic
ture shows it. Then fasten the
belt around your middle, creating
soft, bloused line above! The
shirred shoulders and square
neckline are just as flattering and
smart as they can be! For this,
choose silk crepe, velvet or thin
wool.
Girdle-and-P anel-in-O One Dress.
Of course that midriff section
isn't really a girdle-it just looks
like one, and the way it is ex-
tended into the front skirt panel
simply makes the pounds melt
from your appearance. This is a
beautifully slenderizing dress, and
so elegant-looking, designed with
such good taste!

lacks interest in, or even refuses
to eat the food that has been pre-
pared so carefully.
Developing The Right Attitude
Strange as it may seem, such
difficulties often arise because a
mother fails to give the necessary
consideration to developing in the
young child a proper attitude to-
ward food. Some children need
to be taught that they must eat
enough food for their body re-
quirements. It is part of the
training they should have in early
childhood, so that they develop a
willingness to eat what is put be-
fore them, to try new foods when
offered, and to become increas-
ingly independent in making a
wise selection at mealtimes.
If child has been properly con-
diti0ned in these respects from his
earliest years, mothers will sell
dom find themselves faced with a
''child who will not eat"
Problem of Anorexia
All normal children will, at
times, exhibit a lack of appetite.
We are not concerned here with
occasions when a child who usu-
ally eats well feels no desire for
food. Such lack of appetite may
mean the beginning of a cold or
some other illness and should be
carefully investigated. Unfortu-
nately. however, many mothers
of young children are faced with
chronic lack of appetite in their
children-a condition that physi-
clans describe as anorexia. In or
der to correct this condition it is
necessary to understand its
causes and to use wisdom in help
ing to remove them.
Find The Causes
When a child chronically lacks
interest in food, the mother should
set about Systematically to learn
the reasons why. Possibly the CO.
operation of your physician will
be required, for sometimes OBJ
scure physical causes may be re-
sponsible, such as faulty elimina-
ton, diseased tonsils or teeth or
some other focal infection. On the
other hand, it frequently occurs
that a changed attitude on the
part of the mother in presenting
food is all that is necessary to
alter completely child's attitude
in regard to his meals.
1t is interesting to note. how
ever, that in studying a large
group of children with poor appe-
tites, one investigator found that
81 per cent of the children were
more than average in height and
narrow in body build.
Faulty Diet May Destroy Appetite
Frequently, a child's lack of-in-
terest in food may be traced d.
rectly to poor choice among the
foods presented to him. 1t has
been repeatedly demonstrated. for
example, that when the diet lacks
vitamin b., appetite decreases, so
that there is less desire for food of
any kind. Then, too, when a
child's diet contains too much fat,
digestion may be delayed and this
in turn may interfere with the ap-
petite for the next meal. While
some children thrive better with
a between-mea{ feeding, in others
it seems to destroy appetite for
the meal that is to follow. And
with some children, business"
at mealtimes may be due to the
fact that their diet contains too
