His next meal ‘Timely Notes On Nutrition By Marlorie 6 ll!!! Many motliers find that they ago. very little trouble getting their babies to eat during the tint r. Then suddenly the baby becomes more choosy and la: hungry. It is at‘ this early age, between the first and second year, that feeding problems are apt to start and the more the mother frets and urges, the less the baby eats. The less he eats.’ the more anxious the mother be-’ comes until meals become an agon- izing affair which may last for years. Your baby is a little less hun- gry after the first year because he is not growing‘ as fast nor gaining as much weight as he did in the first few months after birth. He is becoming more choosy because he is starting to form ideas of his own on just. what foods he likes and dislikes. After the first year his back: teeth start to come through. and} the molars especially are hard to‘ ‘cut" and may effect his appetite.‘ Remember babies are much likel adults in that their appetite varies from day to day and week to‘ week. , If your baby turns down some] vegetables twice in Sl1CCeSSlDn.l then leave these vegetables out’ of his meals for a week or so.‘ You will find that he may losel his dislike for them during that period. and take them willingly later on. It is not uncommon for a two year old to turn down half of the vegetables offered him. If this be your problem. then choose only the vegetable the baby does like and offer him those. Another incidence may be when the baby turns against all his vegetables for awhile but loves his fruit — then let him have the fruit but give him extra amounts to make up for the lack of vegetables in his diet. Time and time again mothers have told me that their babies are tired of cereals —- especially for supper. My advice to them is - don't push the cereal on the child. If he wants to give up all his starches for awhile it won't hurt him. He will take them again when his appetite for starches returns. Another food that your baby may vary in from day to day is the amount of milk he drinks. One pint of milk daily is suffic- ent for a child between one and three who gets an otherwise varied diet. Don't keep offering him the cup if he shows he is not interested. But if he con- tinues to drink less than one pint of milk in all forms, then learn to use milk in puddings, cereals, vegetable soups. mashed potatoes, scallops. etc. Fooling at meals is a sign that your baby is growing up. When he has had enough to eat he will lose interest in his food and try to stand up in his chair, or in- dulge in a countless number of other things apart from eating. When this happens take the food quietly away and let him down from his chair. If a,few moments later he discovers he'is still hun- gry give him another chance. but don't try to give him a meal if may be served earlier than cus- tomary or you could give him a little more than usual at between- Ineal feedings. Babies love to experiment with 4the feel of their food. They will want to squeeze their cereal and vegetables between their fingers --this really helps them to learn to eat by themselves. Between the age of twelve and eighteen months the baby shows you that he wants to learn to feed himself. Let him have a spoon and a few minutes alone with the food at the beginning of the meal when he is hungriest. when he can finish a dish in ten minutes it is time to let your child eat his‘\meals with- out any assistance from you. RACING CLASSIC The oldest stake racing event in North America is the King’; Plate, a- Canadian fixture that was first run in 183. t. Lenten Meditations TEMPORAL AND ETERNAL (The London-Times) Most ohrintians become aware at times of a certain tension between the claims of the spiritual and the material, the outward and the in- ward. the temporal and the eternal. As in so many respects. so here. Christianity inculcate: a. balanced view; it is not a question of the simple choice “either—or." Christ- ianlty is at once both the most spiritual and the most materialistic of all religions. It does indeed insist upon supremacy of the spiritual, but the spiritual inspiring the practical life. and fiiidlng its highest. expression in the material. The Kingdom of God demands not only the life of worship but also that of appropriate action; each presupposes the other. To retain‘ this true relationship is not easy in the present world—lt never was easy—for the world is too much with us. The struggle for existence, which must in some de- gree be shared by all; the demands. of a life which incessantly calls for more and more strenuous endeazor, do not make for an easy withdraw- al into the sanctuary where the soul can consciously meet with God. The things which di'-tract. men from the eternal are not al- ways essentially evil; the good can be, and often is. the enemy of the best. But the secret of a real with- drawal, even in the midst of physic- cal activity and the pressure ‘of outward circumstance, can be learned. At all times, and in every place and situation. God is im- medlately present; the eternal is impinging upon the temporal; the spiritual upon the material. It is a state of being into which man can enter in this temporal existence. and which gives to all his actions a significance far be- yond what their irnmediate con- sequencees might suggest. It is often said that service and worship are not two separate activities in the life of the Christ- lan; that in ideal they are fused into a unity. so that each becomes the other. That is true; but in prac- tice it can be realized only as both aspects of life are’ seen as comp- lementary. To "pass through things temporal" so as not to lose the sense of "things eternal" is the t&?k which faces every Christian. and is also the reward of his dedication. the Mornin:NSmi|:M;§§ Sporting Chance The church service was proceed- ing very nicely when a. woman in the gallery got so interested that she leaned out too far and fell over tihe railing. Her dvress caught in a chandelier, and she was sus- pended in inldair.

F fine I-:LI.£u's iunv l ._ By All nine suuen win 9 {v‘99 iT-\!*$ Pleasant it was to come to a nice Winter day like this after -the chill and frost and bitter winds of yesterday. Yesterday we remembe was one of February’: days, that will be likely to re- main in memory long after the month has passed into its interval of oblivion. Like the keen-edged tooth of a word angrily spoken. or a fancied slight that has a way of lingering in mind through many moons and years. Much easier to recall than the pleasan- tries. Indeed humans being hu- man and given to the frailties of the flesh, extremely difficult to forget or forgive. O 0 -r “I'll forgive her for saying the like to me", a friend of the fam- ily commented of a skirmish of words some years ago. in which neither of the participants was undisputed victor, as is usual. “but" she said setting a law that could be very kindly, as well. in a determined expression “it'll take me a long time to forget it! But I have one consolation," she twinkled, “it's glad I am. that I gave it back to her in her own coin — that will make it easier to forget!" C And then before we could make any remark, she spoke with a regretful note. "Do you know, Ellen," she said, “there are times when I wish to goodness I had let her words pass —- just taken no heed of them. The poor thing has it dreary enough I'm think- ing without having to worry over any hard words of mine. She's not a bad soul — and you never know in a case like that who's to blame. Perhaps he was being mean and cantankerous and per- haps . . . but you never know. I‘d feel terrible if anything was to happen to her. though you don't think of the like at the time when you're angry!" There was a character in one of the ‘Red Pep- per’ books — "the doctor it was.“ we observed, “he never forgave himself for cursing in the pres- ence of a dying child — he was angry at the mother for disre- garding his instructions, a n d through carelessness letting the life ebb away.” "Yes. that's it, Ellen, we say and do things when we're ‘met up‘ that we‘d give the world to undo later. But at any rate I forgive her!" “Until seven- ty times seven?" we quoted softly. “! won't promise that" she chuck- led, “that would be imposing on good nature. wouldn't it? But yes. if it will do her any good and ease my own conscience so that I can live happily with my- self, ‘until seventy times .seven’." “And forget?" we persisted. know- ing our own short-comings. She shrugged capable shoulders. "I reckon." she ommented "that life's too short for the like of me, and too full of lovely things to enjoy, to make a perpetual‘ battle-ground of itl" . . . This we would say. now that it comes to mind. is one way that folks can keep this Lent in their hearts. by keeping a check on lips and hearts . . . there is much to remember. a searching of words and deeds in this season which leads up ever sorrowfully we find, towards Easter. We talked of these things with James this eve- ning as we walked with him beneath the night's crisp stars. We were returning from Alderlea. whither our steps had taken us earlier in the evening. At pre- sent the road is plowed to make walking a pleasant exercise. Odd cars appeared, their ‘lights con- trasting with that set by the moon now faint and new, break- ing for the time a bright path along the white of the snow in PBSSIDE. and leaving us then to the‘ moonlight and vast silence again.

A g nonornv nix SAYS - 3; Old Fancy l Wife's Duty To Save Him From Passing infatuation . DEAR. MISS DIX: Please tell me what 2: wife is to do after she has given forty years of the best of her life to her husband, making a happy home for him and rearing a family of five children, when she awakes to the realization that a woman much younger and more . attractive than she is has come into his life? Is there anything she can do? Or must she just give up in d l ? espa r OLD WIFE ANSWER: There is one thing she can do. and that is to sit tight and refuse to give her husband a divorce, and that she should do not only f0!‘ hf!‘ own sake but for his. When a man is young and he falls in love with another woman and wants to marry her. if his wife is convinced that he is sincere in his feelings, and that he has a lasting affection for this other wo- man, then she owes it to her self-respect to set him free. There can be no good accomplished and she can derive no happiness in holding his body in hostage after his heart and soul have gone from her. ,l DIFFERENT case But when the man is an old man, as your husband is, and when there are forty years of wedlock between you, it is an altogether dif- ferent case. He is the victim of an infatuation that will pass. He is really suffering from a form of senile dementia and it is his wife's duty to save him from wrecking his life any more completely than he has. If you will be patient. your husband's temporary madness Will WIS!- His rheumatism will begin to trouble him.‘ His feet ‘will hurt and he will commence longing for his own fireside and slippers instead of running around with the fast young set. and his young friend will begin to bore him as much as he bores her. DEAR MISS DIX: We hear a lot about the mistake 0! Women marrying men ten or fifteen years younger than they rzre. Believe me, it is just as much a mistake for women to marry men that are much older than they are. I know. because I did lt,_nncl I am so bored with a husband who is so settled you can't pry him away from his fireside, and who falls asleep when I do drag him out to the movies. that I could scream. I have stood a husband who is fifteen years older than I am for. ten years and I am fed up ANSWER: Age isn't any insurance against unhappiness in mar- riage. That is a matter of congenlullty, of people liking the some things and wanting to do the same things. and that is more likely to be the case when people are approximately of the same age. Psycholo- gists who have made a study of the effects of the passnge of time on men and women, declare that so far as intelligence and the ability to do things are concerned men and women age about equally. But I think that in the love of life and the love of pleasure men grow old much earlier than omen, Men settle down much earlier than women. Most middle-aged men have got into a rut and have few interests outside of their busi- ness and their homes. Possibly this is because in a mnn‘1 early years he is brought in Contact with the world and sees and does all sorts of interesting things, while the average woman is tied clown to her house and babies, and it is only after the children are grown that she has a chance to amuse herself. DEAR MISS DIX: Can a man really love two women at the same time? Recently I heard a man state that he honestly loved his wife, but there is another woman whom he loves equally as much. A STENOGRAPHER. ANSWER: Love is like everything else, its size determines the amount of space it occupies. If a man has a great love for a woman other love. But not every man is any more capable of the grand pas- Ilon than he is of singing in grand opera. The average man can have an infinity of little loves, none much bigger than a mustard seed. all flourishing simultaneously or in succession in his heart. ‘nonornv DIX cannot reply personally to readers, but will ans- wer problems of , ' interest through lies colimnl.

By I‘. H. MMAIIIIHI The plague of mice. three pla- gues in fact — infested this Is- land between the years 1124 to 1738. and‘ became a terrible scourge to the settlers. They were larger ~ than ordinary field-mice, almost black in color, with short legs and powerful claws. During the winter months they hid their food under the roots of trees, and in hollow logs. Here they bred large litters and be- came so numerous that cats and dogs deserted their homes to fill ’ thelr- bellies with these rodents of the forest. ‘ Came spring. they swarmed out of the woods. formed in long narrow lines and. spreading in battle formation, swept across the fields, devouring every vest- age of crop from Georgetown to Malpeque. Small shrubs were denuded as well as grass and flowers. Having despoiled the whole countryside in this manner. they then ate almost all the meagre food reserves of the un- fortunate pioneers. O U 0 The inhabitants faced starva- tion; word was sent to Louisburg. and. for once. the officers of the Fort acted quickly. Eighty-seven quintals of flour were sent; beans- and pork, powder and shot were dealt out generously. Later on. small seeds were purchased and sent to the Island in time for the spring seeding. The‘ inhabitants tried to rid the Island of the pests. butgwlthout any success. They multiplied till the forests no longer could sup- port them: then these savage little creatures rushed to the sea where millions of them met death. Once great gaps had been cut in the forests, they gradually dis- appeared: but it was ‘a long time before other landseekers could be persuaded to settle in what they chose to call "The Land of Mice." . That Body Of Yours % By James W. Barton, MJ). .‘o‘6\l:Ya \&WVaWVVV\& AGING AND CHRONIC ILLNESS I remember motoring once for a short distance behind an old man driving a team of horses attached to a load of lumber. He had long Brey whiskers and was in his sev- emies. While I was feeling sorry for a man his age having to be out in all kinds of weather. I -passed a _ 013)! firelwuse. I saw a. we‘.l—dressed but feeble old man hobble into the nrehoum to play dominoes with the firemen. My sympathy then turned more deeply in this man of leisure who sat around all day. Very like- ly would sooner be driving the team of horses; he would have a good appetite for food and be free of constipation--all because he was doing daily physical work. Recently, when making a small purchase, the clerk, knowing me. began to talk of health. "You know. doctor. I have recently in- herlted money and my fellow em- ployees think I'm fooiislh not to re- tire. I've bought a new house with grounds and expect to do some gardening. Also. for evenings. I have built a workroom in my base- ment equipped with woorworkinz machinery so I'll not be idle. but even with garden and woodwork- ing. I'd be lost not meeting the public and fellow employees.
