FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Food You Eat Greatly
Affects Your Appearance
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutritionist for the State Board
of Health.

A preventable disease, diarrhea, is
responsible for more baby deaths in
Delaware than any other single dis
ease.
The prevention of this disease lies
in proper feeding and the mainten-
ance of good sanitary measures.
A well fed baby is more resistant to
the infection which causes diarrhea.
In well fed baby there is good mus
Gle tone of the intestinal tract, so
that any infection can be more rea-
oily overcome.
Breast-fed babies are much more
resistant to diarFhea than are bottle
fed babies. The curds of human milk
are fine and readily accessible to the
gastric juice. The curds of cows
milk are much larger and tougher.
The gastric juice can not penetrate
them SO easily and large undigested
particles may remain to irritate the
intestinal tract.
All milk and water given to chill
dren under two years of age should
be boiled. Boiling will kill any in
fectious bacteria which may be pre-
sent. Milk which has been boiled will
form a finer. more digestible curd.
After boiling, the milk and water
must be kept cool. II there is no re-
frigeration they may be kept in a
closely covered container set in a pail
or stone jar of cold well water which
is changed frequently.
Freshly opened evapOrated milk is
safe to use and is digestible.
During warm weather babies need
more water. Unless water is offered
them frequently they may quench
thirst by drinking too much milk.
Overlooking can cause diarrhea.
The greatest incidence of diarrhea
is in the summer. This is also the
time when there are the most flies.
Flies can spread the diarrhea germ
either directly or by communicating
the food. Good screening of homes
and careful covering of the food are
most important.
Do not treat any case of diarrhea
lightly. A physician should be called
and his advice be fol-
lowed implicitly il we are to success
fully stop this preventable loss of in
fant life.
The State Board of Health would
be glad to send you without charge
its pamphlet on infant diarrhea.

HELPING THE SHY CHILD
By E. NJ. Brands


My youngest child. Lucia, at the
age of three, was one of the shyest
little girls that have ever seen
She blushed when she was noticed
and generally, was quite unhappy
except when alone with me.
When she was four she was still
shy, and l worried considerably
about her future. Then. one day a
little girl cousin visited us, much
smaller than Lucia, and very much
shyer.
I though. "Oh, here are two shy,
timid little children! What shall we
do with them?"
Then an idea came to me. called
Lucia to the bedroom and | said to
her, Your little cousin has come to
see you. She is very bashful, poor
little thing"
Like me?" asked Lucia.
Not like you. darling! Much more
bashful than any little girl I ever
knew. OF course you want her to
have a good time at your house?
"Y s."
Then, we'll make a game. She
shall be your little girl all day. You
must do all kinds of things for her.
just as her mother would do"
Dress herr"
"Yes. If she's willing"
So the little cousins mother and
hurriedly gathered quantity of toys
together. and l brought out a COM
plete dress-up play wardrobe that
Lucia sometimes played with when
alone, and we put all these things
and the two shy children into the
bedroom and went away.
What happened during the first
ten minutes we never knew, but af-
ter that sounds began to come from
the room-babblings brief bits of
conversation and once in while a
little girls laugh. We could hear
them moving around. and could hear
sounds that. meant the wardrobe box
was being opened.
My cousin and l listened at the
door. So far as we could tell, Lucia
had dramatized herself as mo

girl. Julie" Some kind of game was
soon under way. 1t sounded as

and we did not call them until 20
later.
When they came out of the room.
Lucia was mothering transformed
little girl: she showed her to her
place at the table. waited on her,
and said tenderly, but firmly, Eat
your spinach" and, later, Drink all
of your milk" She showed no signs
Of bashfulness herself. and there
was but little left in Julie.
From that day to this. Lucia has
never shown the old signs of confus-
ion that she did before. The care OF
another child. smaller, shyer. more
helpless than herself. seemed to be
The key to free her from the self
that had made her so
unhappy before.
