We must remember that in addi-
ton to its digestibility, a child's
evening meal must provide him
with adequate nourishment to help
the busy cells that go on building
and rebuilding his body while he
sleeps. A careful balance of food
values must be maintained even In
the "hghtest" type Of meal.
Our No. /. supper could consist
of deliciously favored milk toast

fresh stewed fruit or simple prune
whip made of cooked prune pulp
and the white Of an egg. Another
supper could feature bowl Of
cream Of chicken soup with rice
or barley in 1t, a little nicely cooked
asparagus or spinach and a baked
apple. A fluffy baked potato with
butter, some carrots and celery
cooked together and sweetened
applesauce might be enjoyed by
your youngster. You could also

Then there is q delicate chicken

Month OF Weddings

June is additionally the favorite
month for weddings. The poet
said that in spring the young
mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love. Presumably by
June his fancy has become SO emo
tional that the word lightly" no
longer applies to it.
The cynical observer may say
that all weddings are more or less
alike, except of course, that many
of them are very ornate and beau
tiful spectacles. But whether such
an event is highly finished pic
ture or a very unpretentious af-
fair for a few relatives and friends
it is a dramatic turning point in
the history of one man and one
woman.
Such an event, even the very
simplest little wedding, is eli
max of human experience. a kind

ward which the climbing paths

CGntjgny, 2? Years Ago

A paragraph from the news of
p years ago says that American
troops who captured the village
II Cantigny withStOOd three de-
termined counter-attacks and in
flicted heavy losses on the enemy.
reports from France also said that
the English and French were full
q praise for the conduct of Perish
ings men in their first important
offensive operation.
This anniversary has not assum-
ed distinguished significance in the
minds of the American people up
to the present time, nor, for that
matter, is it a day that stands out
particularly in the recOllectiOnS Of
the veterans themselves. Even
tu&lly, however. it is certain to as
sumo proper proportion in the
historic perspective OF succeeding
generations of Americans, because
Cantigny was a day of Importance
and of glory.
Until then, the American Army
was an unknown quantity. At
home its fighting qualities were
assumed and this was true, to a
lesser extent insofar as the Allies
were concerned. But they were
not proved and Germany was in
clined to view scOrnfully the young
soldiers who came from a land
where there was only a minimum
OF emphasis upon military training
and who had been hastily snatched
from peaceful occupations to play
a hand in the grim business of
war
Trained in the military tradition,
having lived in an atmosphere
charged constantly with grandiose
talk of war, Germany, somewhat
naturally, dismissed scornfully the
mere thought that men could be
transformed from civilians into
soldiers within a brief period of
months. The puddingheads soon
learned their error.
1t was Cantigny that dispelled
all doubts. At this little village,
American troops demonstrated
again that they have their own
kind of spirit and courage and it
is of just about the same high
quality as it was at Valley Forge,
at Shiloh, at Santiago. Cantigny
brought hope to the Allies and
despair to the barbara hordes.
