FOOD TOR BOYs

ktOseF ID hpou6 teu years ulu, pudgy kid, though not too fat. Exe is as active; and as strong, as q boy of his age should be. When ho calls in the morning to join his playmate Frank, about the same age and general build, Co start of on their visit Go the swimming pool, he usually contrlves to ar- rive while Frank is At breakfast. Prank Is Q few months younger and a few pounds lighter than Roger, but while Prank puts away c whale of a meal Roger eyes tho food wiStfully and makes . noble effort to decline with thanks invitations to have Q waffle with butter and maple syrup on 1t, or sofilo bacon and fried egg. No, sighs tho poor kid, I had breakfast just before 2 left home. f
 what did Roger have for break fastp "
 Oh, Q glass of orange juice.
 Yes, go on.
 0uip, and q turning of the wist. ful gaze of toward the blue That's all. You sec, Rogers sister Is on aspiring young movie actress and SO she knows oil about dieting to keep down weight. Roger must not get too fat--she wants him to- be nice and slender like tho children In the movies. So Rogers breakfast is restricted to Q glass Of orange juice. On that Roger must get along, with his tearing around, swimming and other activities, until lunch time. F
 My, my, says Franks mother, serving Frank his second waffle, you must get pretty hungry by noon. What will you have for lunch? Roger opens his lunch.box to show her--a whole orange about the size of a back yard lemon and two fine peaches: Now Franks lunch box usually contains some sandwiches, cookies and some fresh fruit, and he buys q pint of milk to go with 1t, if milk b to be had where he is at noon.
 It is sad to think of the fate of Roger if his moronic sister persists in keeping the poor kid on the hollywood" diet.

 TonsiIiectomy and POliOmyelltis
 What is there to this rumor of danger in removing tonsils when infantile paralysis is epidemic?
 Mrs. S. Al
 Answer-The virus of infantile paralysis probably enters through lining of nose or throat. There have been several instances of severe (bulbar) poilomyelitis immediately following tonsillectomy. Therefore. In my opinion. it is unwise to sun- feet a patient to the operation if infantile paralysis is occurring in the community.
