Home 'Catering to Faulty Appetite BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER.: Persons who have pooi\ appetites may not be sick in the hw..%rt un- less they can regain the desire for food they are likely to become 80, for A SIMPLE MEAL 1S TEMPTING . - TO A HUNGRY PERSON. ) they are in danger of not eating enough, to keep the body in good con- dition. Of Tcourse, it is possible to eat, even though one has no relish for the viands. Still, life is inclined to lose its zest, and the housewife who caters to a fauity appetite in a fam- ily has an unenviable job. It mat- ters. little ' how good the table she sets, it does not satisfy or please. Fortunately there are agreeable ways In this connection i mind which last one chef told the King t would give him a dinner to tempt. his appetite, and that without fail. The only stipulation. was that. the king must eat it in a certain castle of his some _distance away. To .this he agreed, yand on-the morning of the day set he had his ¢hiise came for him, in ample time for him to arrive at the dinner hour. He was doomed to disappointment, howéver, for the chaise broke down after he had been driven for several miles. Chef Was Knighted, It took a little while to- mend it, and the king waited in the coach. To his great . annoyance the coach or harness broke several times, and the king would get out and tramp about, storming with impatience. When he arrived and sat down the dinner was perfect, and he ate with tremendous relish, without appreciating that the chef had purposely illnn‘d the break- downs so that the king would have .|to bé out of doors and would be like- to exercise, The chef knew that ‘hunger is the best sauce,” and that exercise out of doors would bring its bene:chl mulu,h Sow?!e' -y e a knight. ~ What _ ho Wi ‘agree. -that -he freatty. edrned knlxh&%‘? He was a ‘thinker as well as a cook. Need of Rest. There is another group of people who need rest, not exercise, before eating to insure a - relish - for i;food. These are the persans who get too | much exercise indoors, ‘not ' out. Housewives oftéen are included in this] group. They work so-hard about the home and in preparing the meals that when they sit down to eat they have no_appetites. A few ‘moments’ rest before a meal may be all that is re. quired as an appetizer. Persons with weak stomachs lently need this treatment. 'Take the time to read the daily papers, and so keep in- formed about what is going on.

Persons who are fatigued, unless it comes from going too:long . without food, should relax a few moments be- fore eating to prevent indigestion. 150 YEARS AGO TODAY. Story of the U. S. A.

This ‘vightfully should be called lack of clothes, instead of clothes, be- cause if we could, for the Summer season, -convince the mothers that their children would be better off dressed a'la savage, we would feel as if we had accomplished something. The tiny baby needs warmth. For the newborn, then, in spite of heat, one must provide sufficient clothes so that the bodily warmth be preserved and not wasted in the effort to keep the child warm. A part-wool band (a binder for the first'six weeks is in order, and then.the band), a thin 'shirt of cotton, or even a tiny bit of wool and cotton, diapers, cotton hose and a’ petticoat of flannel and slip are not toé warm just at first. When the baby is 6 weeks old, if the temperature warrants, during the heated parts of the day the infant ¢an dispense with everything but the band and diaper.. When sleeping he can be covered, but he won't get cold. and he will stay comfortable and minus prickly heat. » Older children can be dressed in this manner during most of the Sum- mer. When out of doors one must conform to custom and use more lothes, but to bundle a child, of any age, into woolens and stiff cotton dresses and petticoats is almost in- human. Keep cool is a motto .that should be in the forefront. The fewer clothed the better, and these should be soft and unstarched, especially for the baby. The addition of starch to the lace of the slip may be sufficient to keep the baby crying all day, be- cause he 't- get away from _the needlelike plicks of the stiff -lace. about his tender throat.
