BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG,

Kits mother had told him to take
care of the baby while she was at
court, but the little brother wouldn't
stop crying He seemed to sense
something was wrong, the way ba-
bies do
The baby's face was flushed from
crying when Kits mother finally
came home. She picked him up au-
tomatically and patted him.
They sent your father to jail"
she told Kit, and her voice sounded
dead, not like his mothers voice at
all. III have to do something about
you children"
Kit and his family. the mother,
the father and the baby, all slept in
one three-quarter size bed. Their
one room was four flights up, in the
back of the house where light seldom
strayed.
Sent to Reformatory.
His father had had a w. P. A. job
but he was laid off just about the
time Kits mother was to have an
other baby. Frightened that his
wife and the boys wouldn't have
the food they needed, threatened
with eviction from the one-room
home, unable to find a job, he broke
into grocery store for food.
He was very amateur law
breaker and so he was caught, con-
victed and sent to Lorton Reforma-
tory.
Now the mother, the baby asleep
on her lap, explained it all to Kit.
They'll take you in at the Wash
ington Home for Foundlings," she
said. 1T won't be long. Just until
I get back from the hospital and
then perhaps there'll be little Sis
ter
So Kit and the brother he had
promised to take care of went to a
new home, different kind of home
where you could get all the milk
you wanted and you had a bed of
your own to sleep in so you needn't t

the social worker at the home and
Kits mother and father thought
they were ready, they brought home
their three children.
The children hadn't stayed so
long at the home. just long enough
to relieve the mother of anxiety and
to help the father get on his feet
again.
The guests at the home are all
temporary charges, youngsters up to
6 years old. They need constant
care, attention they can't get when
their father is i'll and their mother
must work, or when their mother is
having baby or convalescing from
an illness.
While the children are in the
home the parents come frequently
to visit them until they are finally
reunited permanently. Today the
children are expecting other visi-
tors because today the home holds
"open house" for the Community
Chests "go-and-see' tours.
Behind each child, the visitors
should see parents whose load is
lightened little because their chill
dren are happy.

The tendency to increase contri-

If the family meals are simple the child can have some of every thing. Such plan for feeding the young child is ideal because it means nutritious food for the growns-ups in the family, teaches the child by imitation of her elders to like good food, and saves time in food preparation.
 The child requires food for similar purposes as does an adult, but n addition, requires food for his rapid growth. To give the child his best chance to grow and develop and to help protect the body against rick cts, scurvy, and certain eye diseases, he should have daily at least:
 1 quart of milk.
 2 servings vegetables beside potato
 1 serving raw fruit.
 1 other serving fruit Cooked or raw0
 1 egg.
 1 serving meat.
 1 serving of whole grain cereal or bread with butter.
 Liberals amounts of water.
 Cod Liver Oil Gas advised by doc- tor).
 To satisfy hunger extra servings of bread, butter, cereals and pota- toes may well be required. The above are simple foods which leave nothing to be desired in their power to create the healthy child. Further more, a similar plan if followed oy adults will be highly beneficial.
 No provision has been made for sweets in the child's diet. Indeed If you do not talk about desserts as Ii they were unusual or treat, the child will not consider them any thing special to look forward to. If desserts are served occasionally they should be simple and prepared so that they will furnish some Of the necessary food materials such as milk, fruit or eggs. Suitable desserts for young children are custard, junket, fruit whips, simple gelatine dishes or plain ice cream
 In the words of Dr. H. c. Sher- man of Columbia University. the situation as to sweets may be sum- marized as follows:
 we sometimes hear of the natural cravings of children for sweets; but what sweets do we find in nature? Never do we find ln nature either candy or such con- centrated and isolated forms of sugar as are found in the grocery and confectioners' shops In general the proper place of sugar in the food supplies and eating habits of children is not in such concentrated forms as candy, nor in the indiscriminate and excessive sweetening of all kinds of foods, but rather as a preservative and flavor to facilitate the introduction into
