OF Food for
Children
Healthy Youngster
Consumes What
Body Requires
By ANGELO PATRI.

Frank, aged Is, eats far more than
his mother thinks is good for him.
Ruby aged 21a, will not eat as much
as mother thinks she should. How
much is enough? Only the child
can answer, and he does that, if
he is in good health, by eating
what he needs.
Most children are healthy, which
simplifies mothers task tremen-
dously. If the diet offered child is
wholesome, well cooked and attrac-
lively served, there is very little more
that mother need do to insure her
children's nourishment. But there
are variations in children's tastes
and appetites that must be accepted.
One will eat brown bread with pleas
use and another only what he
must. One will eat a great deal
and make use of it, another not
nearly so much and get along quite
as we'll as his brother. If a child
eats sleeps, plays and works without
any unusual protest, if. his weight
is fairly close to the standard for
his age and height and family char
acteristics-don't overlook this last
one can be reasonably certain that
things are we'll with him.
But Henry wants to eat whole
pound of meat and skip his vege-
tables" Suppose he does. l want
to do all sorts of wild things but
I can't. So do you, and you can't,
either. Henry can't eat whole
pound of meat and skip his vege-
tables because you won't give him
the meat and you will serve him vege-
tables. just don't talk about it but
do it. BY and by Henry learns that
he gets balanced meal and begins
to like it. You know sometimes
children enjoy Wrangling with their
elders far more than they enjoy
eating. It's fun. They can eat any
time but they can't always be sure
of having fun with mother Deprive
them of the fun of dramatics at
mealtime and they forget it.

Just the very word July" puts
fear and trembling into the hearts
of us "stay-at-homes" Add to that
the thought that you must 60 shop
ping in the midst of Washington
heat and you've got a combination
that's enough to panic the bravest
woman
However, without muttering some
thing trite about every cloud has
silver lining" we'd like to remind
you of one or two things-first, that
the shops are, for the most part, de-
lightfully refrigerated and, second,
that the values to be found there
are well worth a few minutes of
battling steaming sidewalks.
All of which boils down to the
fact that we've been jumping from
one air-cooled spot to another, ad-
miring the marvellous summer cos
metics now on display. AS we've
often mentioned. summer doesn't
stop the very enterprising beauty
firms. Instead, they seem to realize
that we can all do with new aids
TO make life just a little less mis-
cradle. So they do something
about it.
Take, for instance, the English
firm that has become so popular.
They suggest that quick facial
pickup is easily and successfully OBJ

when you splash the solution over

Dear Mrs. Post: Would it be out

afternoon tea refreshments?
Answer: Judging your ancestry by
the sen" ending of your name, I
think it would be especially appro-
pirate in your case and a very pleas
ant change from the usual fare. I,
OF course. take it for granted that
your family are experts in the far

a menu. For most of us, the prepa-
ration OF such hors d'oeuvres would
be too specialized to attempt.

napkins with either the cloth or
the mats, and if so, which? Co Or
would it be best to set the table
with damask cloth? Co Are silver
bread and butter plates too formal
to use on lunch party table?
Answer: ca You can perfectly
well use white damask napkins with

ever you prefer. 90 If your damask
cloth is colored and has colored
napkins, it would be suitable for a

garded 1t as the basis for some of
their most famous preserves and
jams. Here is an old-time recipe
that has been a favorite In our
household since Hector was a pup
and long before that!
TOMATO MARMALADE.
Peel four quarts ripe, red tomatoes,
and slice thinly. Cut six lemons in
halves, lengthwise, and then in shoe
string slices. Put the tomatoes and
lemon slices with one cup of raisins
In layers in saucepan, alternating
the layers with sugar (total amount
of sugar about 4 pounds. Let cook

APPLE BUTTER.
II pounds apples.

gallon sweet cider.

Wash, slice and place the apples
with the cider in a kettle. Boil
until fruit is reduced to thin, lumpy
sauce. Run through sieve Return
to kettle and cook until thick
enough to round up on spoon, add
sugar and spices and cook again
until mixture heaps up firmly on
spoon. Pour at once into clean, hot
jars, partially seal and process three
to five minutes. Seal, cool and
store.

Dorothy Dix Says
Give Husband Home Comforts
And You'll Never Lose Him

i am" says a correspondent, no
glamour girl, no bathing beauty, no
Wlsecracker, no spellbinder. 1 am
the life of no party. No man ever
turns his head to look at me on the
street. I am just the common, or
ordinary, garden variety of wife.
How can keep my husband in love
with me and glad he married me?"
Easy enough. BY making him
comfortable. That is always a wifes
best bet, the one surefire way of re-
tanning husbands affections. For
men cease to look at even living
pictures after they possess them.
They listen with only one ear to
what their wives say to them.
Glamour fades in the fierce light that
beats upon the hearthstone. But
ease and peace and restfulness are
an abiding joy, and the woman who
can give these to man has charm
to conjure with that always works.
If you doubt this, look about you
at the women of your acquaintance.
Observe how many beauties virtually
commute to Reno. Take note of the
fascinators who seem to have more
allure for other men than they have
for their own husbands. Count the
number of disgruntled men you
know who are married to brilliant
wives. but who spend their evenings
at their clubs or anywhere away
from home.
And then reflect upon the fact
that most of the domestic. devoted,
middle-aged husbands in your cir
Gle are men who are married to
women who have no beauty to speak
Of, no sparkling line of conversa-
ton, no talent except the gift for
making their husbands comfortable.
And that is enough. For when

man comes home, weary and worn
from his days work, with his nerves
fretted to fiddle strings, he doesn t
crave beauty, nor romance, nor SEN
timent. He just wants to be made
comfortable So the best advice that
any one can give the wife who
wishes to keep her husband in love
with her is just to make life easy
for him
See to it that his home is the
coziest place to which he can 60;
that his chair is the kind he likes
to sit in, even if it swears at your
period furniture; that he has a good
light to read by and the privilege
OF strewing cigarette ashes all over
the place without being nagged for
the mess he makes. After all. men
are human. They are tired and
their feet hurt at night, so there is
small provocation for them to wan
der abroad If home is the pleasant
est place they can find.
And feed the brute. Give him
what he likes to eat, cooked the wav
he likes it. He will never perceive
your faults and weaknesses so long
as your sauces are perfect. You
never hear Of a good cook being
divorced by her husband. Further
more, there is no surer way of keep
ing husband nailed to his own fire
side than by keeping him so full of
good food he is too loggy to 90 out
and hunt for sirens.
But making a man physically
comfortable isn't enough lust of
itself. You must make him mentally
comfortable If you want to keep him
thinking you are the greatest little
woman in the world.
When the average wife loses her
husband she always attributes it
to the other woman having occult
powers with which she could not
compete, or else lays it on her having
lost her complexion or her figure.
But, nine times out of ten, the real
reason is that she made things so
uncomfortable for her husband at
home that she drove him away from
her. DOROTHY DIX.

When you've chance don't fail. I pray,
To speak a word for Sammy Jay.
Of course Farmer Browns Boy
saw what was going on over by the
old carriage shed and he didn't
know what to do. He was afraid
that if he tried to drive off Bully
the English sparrow and Mrs. Bully
he would also frighten Welcome and
Mrs. Robin. OF course, he didn't
want to do this. You know he had
put that food there especially for
Welcome and Mrs. Robin, hoping
that when they had eaten their fill
they would discover what fine
warm shelter there was among the
rafters of the carriage house and
SO would not try to 60 way back

to the swamp where the cedar trees
grow, and where they had so far
spent the winter.
But if Farmer Browns Boy didn't
know what to do Sammy Jay did.
Sammy was one of those who had
been eating there in the Old Or
chard when Farmer Browns Boy
appeared. AS Farmer Browns Boy
drew very near, Sammy moved off
a little. He wouldn't have admitted
that he was afraid. Dear me, no!
Sammy wouldn't have admitted
that for the world. He would have

They hesitated a few minutes,
then timidly flew down and began
to pick up the scattered seeds. Fill
up! Fill up!" mumbled Sammy with
his mouth full of corn. Those SPAR
rows won't bother you again while
I'm about, so hurry and get filled
up before I leave"
Welcome and Mrs. Robin thanked
Sammy Jay and told him that ne
had saved their lives. Then they
settled down to eat all they could

explained that while he wasn't ac-
tually afraid he believes in taking
the utmost care not to do anything
so foolish as to put himself in
position from which he could not
get away in an instant if need be.
So Sammy flew off a little dis
tance and with his head cooked on
one side in very looking way
watched to see what Farmer Browns
Boy was up to. Presently his at
tention was drawn to the noise
Bully the English sparrow and Mrs.
Bully were making. From where
he sat he could So tlst what vas

going on. It didn't take two blinks
of Sammy's sharp eyes for him to
see and understand that the SPAR
rows were trying to drive away We'll
come and Mrs. Robin. He saw that
they not only were trying to do it,
but were doing it.
"Now, what's the matter with
Bully and his wife this morning?"
thought Sammy. What have they
got against the Robins? Ha, I have
it! There must be something to
eat over there! They've found
something good and they are such
pigs that they won't let, the Robins

share in it. I haven't been invited,
but I think I'll join that little
party"
So this is how it happened that
just as Bully and his wife were
rejoicing over the way they had
driven of Welcome and Mrs. Robin
their noise was cut short. cut very
short indeed, by the arrival of a
gentleman in blue, who didn't waste
any time but started in at once

to have his full share of the good
things to eat, and that he didn't

Sammy just about two minutes to
convince Bully and Mrs. Bully, that
fighters though they are, Sammy's
size and long sharp bill are more
than a match for them. The feath-
ers flew. Bully yelled! Mrs. Bully
screamed! Sammy shrieked! But
in two minutes it was ali over and
Bully and his wife had flown over
to the barn, from which place they
called Sammy every bad thing they
could think of.
Sammy paid no attention, which
provoked them still more. Come
