J Korner ■ MADREE^PEXN DADDTJ EVENING &Y TALE Maiy Graham Bow\cr ELIZABETH’S CHARGES. “Elizabeth," said Daddy, “was a gray goose. In fact, I should say that she is a gray goose. She is a very floe goose and looks quite important and tine and tall until she begins to walk and then she wabbles along in such a funny way that she doesn’t look im portant at all. "Some time ago a lot of little ducks were left on the farm where Elizabeth lives without any moth er. They had lost their mother and “Led Them. were rather lone ly little ducks, not knowing quite what to do, or whom to go to if they were hurt or tired. “But when the?- got to the farm and Elizabeth saw that they had no mother she took them in charge. She fed them and showed them where to find the food. She led them around all summer long and when winter came they were put together so Elizabeth could still be in charge. "She was always in the center and the ducks were always around her and she never seemed to scold them, but just somehow they seemed to know that they must do what she said, for she w'ould do the right tiling for them. “So Elizabeth taught the little ducks all their lessons and liieir manners and on the winter afternoons she told them stories and she chatted in her shrill, harsh voice which sounded very lovely to the little ducks. “And they talked to her and asked her questions and their little noisy quack-quacking sounded very sweet to Elizabeth for stie had become their own mother and they were her own ducklings. “But one day some of the chickens got quarreling and scolding and they were really quite old enough to know much, much better, for they were big chickens at this time. “ ‘I’m glad you’re not my charges.’ said Elizabeth. “We would like to have you better than our mother,’ said the chickens. “‘For shame.’ said Elizabeth. “‘Well, the ducks aren’t your owl children so why couldn’t you have us, too,’ the chickens said. “ ‘The ducks didn’t hat ->any wither,’ said Elizabeth, ‘and I die i t ha\ * any little ones so the little ducks became tuy children ami I became their mother so as to make all of us quite happy. " ‘But nji little ducks always took their baths in the summer anil I re member what dirty little creatures you were.’ “The chickens hung their heads in shame, for they remembered what Elizabeth was talking about. “ ‘Yes. the chickens ate the cherries which fell from the trees, the black, black cherries, and their little faces became all dirty. For shame, such dirty little facPs as the chickens had! My charge> would have washed their faces so quickly, oh, so quickly. “ ‘My charges like the good, clean water; they love their baths. “‘But I will npver forget the dirty little chickens and it was such a long, long time before they had clean faces. Their faces wars just covered with squashed cherries; for shame!’ “ They didn't take as many face tvashlngs as they should have, quack auaek,’ said the little ducks. “ *No. they did not,' said Eliza beth. 'I like my nice. clean charges, I do.' “ ‘It's mean to bring up the things we did do.' said the chickens. •“I wouldn't have done it only you said that my ducks weren't my real children and they are now even if they weren't then,’ said Eliza beth. ’And you’re good now even if you were not good then, but you weren't good a moment ago; no, you weren’t. “'However, I will not speak of what j has past if you will not, for it isn’t ; kind. My ducks are my own little children now for they call me mother J and I look after them, and I call them not only my little charges, but my j own little ones whom I love and look after. So lot's forgei about the oldj days and mind your own mother and don’t quarrel.* ended the goose Eliza beth, who really talked quite sensibly 1” Suitable Policy. “Pa, what do they do with the raw recruits?” “I guess the brat thing they do wltii them is to roast them.” Father’s Revolt. The college-bred daughter reproves! her father for dropping his “g's." “Have I been droppin’ them?" he asked innocently. “There you go again, father—‘drop pin’.’ And you say ‘coinin',’ and 'goin' and 'eatin'.’ It's humiliating.” “Daughter," said the old man, after a thoughtful pause, "may I drop the final ‘g’ in ‘egg’?" -- - H~ f the KITCHEN = CABINET FOOD FOR THE CHILD. So make It your Intention With proper comprehension To see the world from every point of view. Smile on If you’re defeated. Or smile If you think you’re cheated: Smile on and soon the world will ■mile on you! —Caroline Sumner. Children are far more restricted In their diet than are grownups, and they are more depend ent upon special foods. We all need a diet so balanced that It will produce the highest efficiency, but tlie food for a growing child must do more than that. The growing child Is building new flesh and bone. For this reason the child should have a larger proportion of body-building foods than adults. Milk Is the most important; eggs, butter and well-1 cooked cereals, with top milk, are very important in the diet of the child. We are told repeatedly by those who have made a study of the diet of the child that no mother should buy a pound of meat until she has purchased a quart of milk for each child in her family. Milk is the ideal food for the child. It contains the elements needed to pro mote growth with the exception of Iron. This element Is given the child in such vegetables as spinach, beet greens and carrots. As the child grows and becomes very active other foods are added, such as starchy foods, which supply energy. Wien milk is unpleasant to the child give it to him in cream soups, custards and cocoa. The older members of the family may be underrationed on milk, hut never let the children want for it. Dishes made chiefly of milk, meat, fish, poultry and egg, with meat substi tutes, form the most important group in the well-balanced ration. Then come cereals and bread ; then fats, of which the most Important Is butter. Do not give children fried foods which are hard to digest. Fruits and vegetables are next; then simple sweets such as dried fruits or pure candies. Candy should always be given at the end of the meal, never before. Wheat taken from the granary, well washed, soaked over night, then cooked In the same water uhtii well cracked and covered with gluten, is one of the most desirable of foods for growing children. Sene it with top milk. yieLU-c vrdlQ. How Danzig Is Protected. Along the Vistula aide of the city of Danzig are large fortifications, stretch ing almost to Neufahrwasser. The three land sides of fh* city cnn he In undated by the opening of great water gatps, built in. the middle ages, and modernized before the great war. This Inundation ean he controlled by the military engineers, and at Its greatest extent would make of Danzig a fort on a distant Island, requiring an attack by a naval force. And the Inundation would he of fresh water, not the salt water that the Belgians allowed to pour over their land In the hectic days of 1014, a voluntary sacrifice of the agricultural value of the soli for the cause of humanity. jALHAMBRAj X The House of Courtesy.
