BREAD CAKE; COMMENT.

ton of it. The recipe, I am fairly
sure, was in ''The Champlain Val
ley Cook Book, q collection OF reci-
pes gathered by the ladies Of the
Presbyterian Church of Plattsburg
New York, and published In the
early 1905 for the benefit of the
church.

story helps at bedtime. Small-sized
forks, attractive looking and tasting
foods, help. In the early stages, let
ting baby have a spoon and letting
him try to help feed himself when
the food is easily managed (such az
mashed potatoes) Is a good plan, for
he finds it pleasant to be active in
satisfying his own desires. A happy
atmosphere at mealtime, too, will
encourage him to form good eating
habits.
1t is also very important that q
child has no chance to attach un-
pleasant feelings to the things you
want him to learn. Nagging and
scolding when he is learning to feed
himself are not wise. Make sure
that he has interesting things to do
when he is learning to play alone.
When he is learning to play with
other children, try to arrange it so
that his first experiences are happy.
Worth remembering as guide to
learning:
DON'T insist too much or too fire.
quently that child do certain
thing over and over--youll dull his
interest and may even make him de-
yelop q resistant attitude.
DON'T be too concerned about
your child may actually slow
up or interfere with his learning.
Too great anxiety over whether a
child eats or sleeps enough, and so
forth, has the effect of making him
resist learning. Too much talk about
such habits causes feelings of un-
pleasantness-just the opposite of
your goal.
DO remember that your child is
just learning to do things that seem
simple and easy to you as an adult.
If you are impatient at your child's
slowness and fumbling in learning,
you may make the child refuse to
try new things, or fearful of trying
new things. Praise the child's sue
cesses and don't show irritation over
his failures.
1t is wise for q parent to remember
that each new achievement adds to
the child's ability to meet what life
brings.

to determine liquor orders.
Lee asserted he never exercised
any discretion as TO Ilauor pur-
chSses' until the fall OF 1910 when

man, suggested that he and Charles
Weber, former distribution direc-
tor, make out the recommendations

ecutor Kim Sigler, told the court
that Ehrmann, Weber, sometimes
a commission member, and ne
would meet to make the recommen-
dations.

purchases. but before ! wrote them
down, ! always looked at Mr.. Ehr'

fled.
