A Wife’s Confessional Adele Garrison' REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Lee Chow Begins His Dramatic Narrative, The welght of the world seemed to drop from my shoulders at Lil- llan's declaration that she had to have all the threads of “Steve's cape in her hands, and therefore must listen to Lee Chow's account, Yet I felt it incumbent upon me to protest. “But, Lillian," I began, right that you should." “But me no buts," periously. “This thing is started now, and it we all don't bump our noses in the dust it's got to be fin- ished right.

The thought crossed his mind that in spite of everything perhaps Peter had stolen a march on him and called at the house. “They were in the wood," Lyster explained.

CUMMING Surgeon General, Unlted States Public Health Scrvice Malnutrition is an lmportant con- dition very often neglected, and) when neglected may dead to serious) consequences, ) Mainutrition may lay the foundu- tlon tor poor physicul development or pour health in later lite or wuy Jead to some serious disvase like tu- berculosls. You should know how to recug nize malnutrition i children, If you find that a child is not only much below normal weight or height bul that he gains much more slowly than he should you should at oncg suspect malnutrition, At the uges from 6 to 10, when a healthy child gains four or fivey pounds a year, children suifcring from malnutrition may gain only one or two pounds. Some do not gain at all. lrom to 16 yearsf when healthy children should gain| from six to ten pounds per yeard children suffering from malnutritiond may gain only two or three pounds. Children suffering from malnutri-} tion, however, do not all behave in the same way. Some are pale, dull and restless, with dark rings under their eyes. They tire easily and have no ambi- tion for work or play, Their work in school is often sa poor that they must frequently re peat their classes. . Other children suffering from mal- nutrition are nervous, fretful, hard to please, and hard to manage. They eat and sleep badly. 8till oth- ers are over-ambitious, constantly active and restless, They find con- versation difficult., To grow in height and gain regularly in weight is just as much a sign of heslth in a boy or girl of 9 or 10 as it is in a baby. Mothers have learned their babies, If your hoys and girls were weigh. ed regularly every month this con. dition of malnutrition would be dis. covered early and would not be al- lowed to go on to serious gonse- quences, Causes of Mainutrition Causes of malnutrition are not difficult to find. Most important causes are: This child does not get the right kind of food. He spoils his appetita for simple foods needed for growt! by excessive indulgence in car sweets, pastries and indiges’ foods. 4 He eats irregularly. v He never takes time enough meals to chew his food properl He does not get enough sleep, ' He suffers from habitual congy pation. He gets ton many motion pictures and other evening entertainments. He plays too hard for too many hours. He is out. Malnutrition may aiso be caused and aggravated by decayed teeth, enlarged or diseased tonsils and adenoids, In places where malaria or hook worm are present malnutrition often the result of these infections Unless malnutrition is recognized early and measures are taken to cor. rect it the effects of this condition in childhood may last to adult life Tnvestigations show that 20 per cent of the children in many of our schools are at present suffering from malnutrition. In order to prevent malnutrition or at least to recognize it befors serious consequences have followed, it is most important that you watch the child's weight. A child much below normal weight or one who is steadily losing weight or one who i not making a normal gain should at once he taken to a physician. The whole family life of the chil@ should he carefully investigated to determine which of the rules of health he is violating and whether this pertains to his food, his habite of eating, his hours of play, of school work or of sleep. Suggestions For Diet of Children During infancy mothers should nurse thelr babies until advised otherwise by a competent physiclan. At six months the baby is able to digest. starchy foods, therefore at this time small amounts of barley or oatmeal water may be given with the milk. A teaspoonful of orange Jjuice twice a day is also beneficial. When the teeth begin to appear a piece of cracker or zwieback may be allowed. In addition a little cereal jelly without sugar may be given once a day, preferably in the morn- ing. At about the 15th or 16tH month small amounts of baked potato, ap- ple sauce, and the pulp of thorough- ly cooked prunes may be added to the bhaby's diet. When the child is two and a half or three years of age you may begin to give him one or two teaspoonfuls lot scraped meat or an cgg. { As the child grows older you should take care to see that the diet ‘in mixed and varied, that it supplies 1all the elements necessary to insure \grm\'lh. Milk should be given at |each meal, Children should not he allowed to to welgh overworked in school or ia " ldrink elther tea or coffee. “They are worth trying” =aid Mr, = abont Herald Classified ads, Herald Classified ads are acknowl- edged leaders, ROLLER SEATING EVERY EVENING Alto Saturday Afternoons.
