Soclety must measure its well-being n terms of the health of its children. @ince the foundatons of physical well- being are laid in early infancy, the smportance of an adequate diet for the baby and young child cannot be 100 strongly emphasized. There is a definite relationship be- tween sickness resulting from infection mmong pre-adolescent children and the way those children were fed before they were 3 years old. Paulty diet may cause serious con- sequences to the child without the de- elopment of symptoms which definitely mark the sufferer from & deficiency disease. In other words, the child may be brought into & sort of twilight zone, which the nutritionist calls “nutritional Anstabllity,” and yet show no outward that he is not in first-class con- | dfinfl. ‘What has happened is that the child's whole general vitality is low- ered and he is less capable of resisting eny infection or strain to which he may be ex] 3 Many of these malnourished chil- dren i{ud their way into the school clinics. Out of 20,000,000 school chil- dren in the United States, it was stated some years ago that about 14,000,000 ‘were handicapped by some kind of physical defect and that nearly 2,000,000 ‘were suffering from a grave form of malnutrition. Ten milllon are said to have enough teeth defective seriously to_interfere with health. No blanket rule can be given for a diet that will suit every child. A diet that induces apparently normal devel- opment in one child may not be ade- quate for another. ‘The aim should be to study each individual child and phn.;l diet .oib.l. to make it as nearly pertect as possible. A diet that is selected from cereals; such vegetables as potatoes, turnips, beets and carrots, and meat, is not afequate for the young “child during the period when growth should be pro- ceeding at a rapid rate. Milk and Jeafy vegetables must also be added. These foods, because of their value in strengthening resistance and pro- moting growth, are known as “pro- tective foods.” Vitamins A and D are perhaps the most important in planning the diet of the growing child. Vitamin A, which is supplied abundantly in such foods as whole milk, butter, egg yolk, spinach and carrots, is more directly related to resistance of infection than any other food factor of which medical sclence is aware, The importance of vitamin D. has been the subject of considerable recent study. This vitamin controls, probably absolutely, the calcification of bones and teeth. In other words, it is neces- sary for sound bone and tooth forma- tion in the young body as it develops. Summer sunshine is the most potent source of vitamin hence its name the “sunshine vitamin.” Cod-liver oil is the only other important source fur- nighed by nature. Infants and very young babies should safeguarded in their skeletal de- ,velopment roviding at regular in- tervals a suitable amount of cod-liver ofl, which also contains a high per- centage of the other essential vitamin of infancy, the resistance-building vita- min A. ‘The lnflr;t nhvuéd also hll: e opportunity for outdoor exerc 5 the minlight.

The young Dobson has | many names. Some of them are con- nipton bugs, flip-flaps, aliigators, Ho Jack, snake doctors, hell divers, goggle | goy, water gampers and crawlers. They are’ caught in rapid rock-bottomed streams, where there are many insects. You wade out into the stream and lift a rock. The wriggling crawlers float with the current and you catch them in _your net. Mother Dobson is & very portly crea- re, four inches long. She has power- lul jaws for biting and will give you & ful_pinch with them if you give r half a chance. The jaws of her ouse are used only for holding Mrs. Bobeon while caressing her They are supplied with two pairs of | beautiful, transparent wings, very long| antennae and prominent eyes. ~They | are very shy and keep out of sight. Along the edges of the stream, over- hanging the water, the mother lays her chalky masses of eggs. She lays them in groups about the size of a nickel The leaves, rocks and supports she lays them on look if paint or whitewash had been spilled on them. The ezgs are laid on end and there are about 3,000 of them. | The eggs soon hatch and the young- sters drop into the water. They scurry to the bottom and get the shelter of a stone. They have large heads, strong jaws, and at the tip of the body are two , curved claws for holding them to their moorings in the swiftly flowing stream.

The old belief that children fered from worms because of judicious consumption of candy sweets has been exploded scientifi if 1t ever existed. But to the lay- person, who surrenders her pot theories most reluctantly, shreds of this belief still remain. It is obvious that Mrs W. B. is harboring such an idea,. | for she cannot imagine how her child acquired worms. ‘since he does not care for sweets ' Too often, I fear, picion of worms supposed “symptoms” of worms said symptoms being publicized chiefly in “ads” of medicines.

It is both silly and dangerous to dose a child with anything in a bottle to treat one type of worm. The child may be suffering | from another type, or may not be a vic- | tim at all. | Children acquire worns by eating worm eggs. This can come about | rather easily if the child eats dirt, | chews sticks and leaves or eats vege- tables freshly pulled from their dirt beds, or, in some cases, eats unwashed | fruits or other food upon which worm eggs have been left by careless hands once acquired, worms are not easily | eradicated, as all sufferers will admit But it is useless to treat a child for worms if he has none, and it is st more useless to treat him with med: {cines unless such have been advised by a doctor. | Mrs. E.

This 1s ironic enough in the face of the fact that man prides himself upon being the stronger vessel and upon having a better brain and a better balanced judgment than woman has.

ROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1931.) traight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Having Something Made? Are you having something made at your tailor’s, jeweler’s or anywhere else? | If you are, you will have done well if you have observed a few business cus- toms. In business life your husband assumes every one is honest with whom he deals, unless he has & report to the contrary. Despite that fact, he always uses due caution in his dealings. First of all, no matter what mate- rials are placed in other people’s hands, they should be sent on memorandum. | In other words, a tailor should be re- | quired to sign a receipt for the goods which he accepts for making up. These goods should be formally charged to him at_their cost- value, or their cash value if the cost of replacement is higher. This will eliminate any possibility of future dispute about what was or was not delivered. Any woman who has ever been involved in a dispute of this sort will appreciate the point of such procedure. If any or all of the goods or articles sent to the store or shop are lost, dam- aged or stolen, then one has a clear claim for the exact value of the things. It will be remembered that the trades- | | man has accepted these valuations as well as your description of them. ‘When a job of any importance is to be done it is a good practice to specify in detail what is to be done. This will oid any labor disputes as to whether various parts of the job were covered in_the estimates. ‘While verbal contracts are binding in most States when they are under a cer- tain amount stated by law, a written contract is better as a basis of one's claim and less subjett to question. p ‘Women having jewelry made over or fur particularly advised to observe the cau- tions citec.
