ChildS Eating Habits
Bv AnpeIo Pafri

Hungry children eat without coax
ing, without fussing, without prom
ises or threats. When a child
refuses his food take it away with
out remark and do not offer it again
until the regular mealtime. If he
refuses food again, take it away and
ask the doctor to come and examine
the child. Usually we find that the
children who refuse food habitually
are sick. or overfed, or just plain
spoiled.
We must always make certain
about the health of the child and
the suitability of his food for his
needs. What nourishes most chill
dren sometimes may not meet the
need of a particular child and he
refuses 1t because his body is tell
ing him to do so. First make as
sure as possible that he gets what
he needs. The pediatrician will
know.
The health point settled and the
right diet found, follow the ply
sician's directions to the letter.
Usually he sets the mealtime, the
diet and the amounts for each meal.
This regulation varies with the in
dividual child and is most impor-
tant.
If there Is no difficulty about
his health, the physicians exami-
nation disclosing nothing to prevent
his eating normally, establish meal
times, feed him on time and give
the food he needs. He will make a
fuss but when hunger asserts itself,

If he is neither coaxed nor threat
ened, he will soon begin to eat and
form the habit of eating as healthy
unspoiled children should.
Spoiled children are those who
discover that by refusing their food
demanding certain foods to the
exclusion of others, making eating
their meals great favor to their
mothers and nurses, they can create
excitement, and make themselves
the center of the household drama
Such children needs reconditioning
The best way to recondition
children, the quickest and most
effective, is a change of environ
ment as complete as possible. In
new surroundings new habit can
be set sooner and with least re-
sistance from the child. If he
cannot be taken away from home
to say, grandmother's house, or
aunty's place, or to a children's
hospital, but must be kept at home,
change the place of eating, change
the person who serves him, change
even the dishes, and make clear to
him he is making a new start in a
new life.
Set him good example by max
ing no fuss about the food the
grown-up family eats. Make meal
time happy time if possible and
make eating just matter of course,

mention that he does not like

During the war, IT'S true, much
OF the cause for knitting was Q
throw back to the days when one
knit to make things for warmth.
Knitting then had a Al priority.
keeping those soldier boys warm was
of top importancel In case you had
time to knit, aside from this Dgood
cause, there weren't the yarns nor
the colors available to make loopin'
the loop the fascinating occupation
or light-hearted pastime that it has
been. Well, things have come to a
prettler paSs-or they will in a very
short time. Yarns that went for
parkas, mitts, and scarves, and the
like when Johnnie went marching
on are due back. Dyed In rainbow
hues, they'll be destined for q
decorative life. At the present time
plain twist yarns in many colors are
attainable-and there's plenty Of in
spiration In that fact to get you of
to a good start. In the majority of
patterns, you'll find, the plain yarns
tossed over the needle In the right
way make for enough interest to
satisfy any one!
For the benefit Of you who still
yearn for the days when you could
buy nubby yarns and boucles-be
consoled, they're coming! Boucles
can now be found, If you hunt for
them, but not in every color OF the
spectrum. We ran across one won-
derful nubby yarn-the treasure in
this hunt-which was gray and
white in background with chunks Of
cobalt blue, lemon yellow and ele-
phant gray doing the "nubbing."
For the time being, you may find
enough OF these yarns to console
yourself with sweater or a bolero
or lacy shawl (these are pretty as
the dickens with dark dresses on a
cool summer evening". Our advice
would be NOT to think of the
fancier yarns in terms Of dinner
dresses or suits-YET.
Suffice it to say that one look
through a knitting pattern book,
will give you the idea that an inn
portant fashion trend Is WELL un-
der way! Several stores in town sell
pattern books-practically at
glance, youn run for the yarn coun-
ter. Incidentally, our own Needle-
work Arts patterns feature many
knit jobs. Youu find sleeveless
dresses with million-dollar look,
boat neck evening sweaters (won-
derful with full summer skirts too)
sweaters obviously keyed to make
the most of any suit, sweaters done
up with pique and satin ribbon trim
not to mention knitted stoles
which can be wound and bound
around in dozen or so ways to the
benefit of suits, bathing suits,
dresSes-or even evening wear. You
see, we just can't go on like this
but, we haven't even touched on the
accessories that can be had with
the twist of a wrist. Nor have we
mentioned that baby sister, Brother
Bob, Uncle Will and Pop himself
| are in for big things in the knitted
department.
So now our yarn is spunl Ordi-
narily, needlin' knitters-or any one
for that matter-is not in line with
our policy. But don't overlook a
good thing, If the knitting aptitude
is yours. In case it isn't and you
wish it were, we'll be glad to tell you
where you can learn this art.
