Serve One Set Of Meals
A child's food needs are not so
different from an adults. They
need more vitamins and more sub
stances in the diet for growth and
development. But what the child
eats is good for the adult, and it Is
easier for the adult to adapt HIM
self to the child's diet than the
other way about. So in a house.
hold where one set Of meals must
do for all, it is better to construct
your meals around the child's
meals, rather than around the
grownups.
The staple needs for a child are:
milk, eggs. cooked green leafy
or yellow vegetable, a raw leafy
vegetable, fruit, especially citrus
fruit or tomato, and whole cereal,
either as whole cereal for break
fast or as whole wheat bread.
OF course, that doesn't mean that
the child can't eat other things. #
it gets enough Of the above. It can
add some Of the things It likes on
the margin.
Varying your menus to tastes,
habits and incomes, the following
skeleton menu shows the types Of
foods needed in a days menu,
which will supply the needs both
of children and grownups:
Breakfast: Fruit, cooked cereal,
whole wheat toast, milk.
Dinners. A main dish Of eggs,
meat or fish; cooked vegetable. raw
green vegetable. dessert, milk.
Supper: A vegetable-creamed,
scalloped or baked, sandwich, bread
and butter, cooked fruit. milk.

DON,T COUNT ON HIM

principal message conveyed to your
PARTNER by a pre-emptive bid. That
il true regardless of whether the
pre-empt is an original bid or one
made after the opponents have
opened the bidding. 1t indicates,
Of course, plenty of length in the
suit named, but the hand is likely
to be utterly worthless on the de-
Tense. It therefore behooves the
partner to do no business doubling
Of any contract the opponents
might reach over the pre-emptive
bid unless he reckons that he can
set their contract all by himself.

FACTS OF INTEREST

I
! 1t is not true, say the experts in
the United States Forest Service
Time or age, in itself, has nothing to
do with decay.
When the White House was reno
eled in 1928, workers found sound
roof iimbers that had been in place
since 1916. In Dedham. Mass. a
frame house. the Fairbanks House,
is still intact after 300 years.
Not long ago, in Washington State,
! workmen found a log Z feet in dia-
meter. in a tunnel they were digging
$50 feet below the bed Of the Yakima
River. A piece Of this log. sent to The
Forest Services Forest Products
Laboratory, was identified as an ex-
tinct species of seduoia. of an age
estimated at - million years.
These examples prove that wood
does not necessarily decay with age.
Decay is caused by the attack of a
fungus, and there is no decay il the
wood is kept either thoroughly sat
urated. or too dry for the fungus to
grow.
This and other interesting facts
ere brought out in a new circular.

the Forest Products Laboratory,
Madison. Wisconsin.

Injured BY Furnace
Explosion
Workman Blown Across Gel

Ignites Gas

While repairing a furnace in the
cellar at the Rising Sun Hotel, on
Monday afternoon, about fonr-thrity
o'clock, Gilbert Jordan, of Darling
ton, Hartford County, was painfully
injured by an explosion of gas in the
furnace.
Mr.. Jordan thoughtlessly turned
en- the electric spark. The resulting
explosion of accumulated gas tore
the door off of the furnace, and
threw the man several feet, across
the cellar The heavy iron door
struck him on the forehead and in
fiicted a deep cash, and flames sing
ed the hair ON his head.
The injured man was covered with
socth from head to foot. He was
hurried to the Office of DR.. R. c..
Dodson, where it was found that
while his injuries were very painful,
they were not of a serious nature.
His escape from instant death was a
mircle, as the force of the explosion
was violent.
