Tair Motor Driven' Classes Form.
April showers, attacks of measles
and other ills, as well as -week-end
trips, are keeping the motor-driving
volunteers in the National League
(or Woman Service from beginning
active classes in their chosen 1' . of
sen-ice. Mrs. Louis S. Clarke, head
of this division, has gone to Kansas
City and Excelsior Springs for a
wejjk and is not expected to return
before f riday.
Miss Irene McKnight, one of the
members of her staff, has been ill ever
since her appointment. She will not
be able to do any work before Mrs.
Clarke's return. Mrs. George Rcdick
is to organize one of the classes, but
did not receive a list of prospective
motor drivers before Mrs. darkens
departure. Mrs. Clarke Powell is
quarantined at her home because her
little son, "Jimmy," has measles.
Mrs. E. S. Wcstbrook has advanced
farther than any other member of
the staff toward forming her class.
A few of her prospects, such as Mrs.
Glenn Wharton, who has not yet re
turned from the east, are still in
doubt. About twenty-five women
will constitute each class according
to the plan. Of this number Mrs.
Wcstbrook has secured Mesdames S.
S. Caldwell, '.V; J. Coad, Willard Hos
ford, Frame Keogh, Misses Frances
Wessels, Irene Coad and Marian
Langan. There is doubt in the mins
ef the chairmen whether 100 women
can be found to form classes of
twenty-five each, so that smaller
groups may have to be organized.

Feeding the
Child of Four
During the fourth year milk still
remains an important part of the
child's food, but much of it may now
be given in the form of bread and
milk, milk soups or milk puddings,
or it may be poured over the cereal.
Some children object to drinking
milk and in such cases it is wise to
offer it under some such disguise. The
cereal need no longer be strained, but
must be very thoroughly cooked.
The diet at this time should in
clude aft the articles advised for the
two earlier years, with the addition
of more meats vegetables and fruits.
Baked potatoes, with a little butter,
are a staple food at this period. Bread
and butter or toast and butter and
plenty of hard crusts or zwieback are
important. F.gg'or meat, such as
roasted, boiled or broiled beef, mut
ton, chicken or fish, should be given
at least onre a day.
The child of 4 will probably thrive
on three or four nieals a day. the
heaviest being taken in the middle of
the day. If he appears to be hun
gry a light lunch such as milk may
be given in the interval between
breakfast and dinner or between din
ner and -Supper, but no nibbling
should be permitted between meals. A
child should be taught to come to the
table with that vigorous appetite for
his food which leads to good diges
tion and assimilation.
Food should be carefully prepared
to fit it to a child's powers and should
be served in an appetizing fashion
at proper intervals. Young children
should not be offered "tastes" of the
family meals, as this habit tends to
destroy the appetite for the simple,
rather restricted diet adapted to their
need.
Children should have n abundance
of pure cool drinking water. This is
especially important in summer when
they are perspiring freely. If there is
any doubt about the purity of the
water it should be filtered or boiled,
or both.
Since it is always difficult for chil
dren to chew their food properly it
should be finely minced, mashed or
softened for them throughout these
early years.
Never under any circumstances
should children be given coffee, tea
or strong cocoa. Thev should have
no highly seasoned or spiced foods,
ncn pasnes. raw vegetables, onions,
corn or cabbage. Bananas and alt
partly ripened fruit are apt to make
trouble.
If children are inclined to be con
stipated they should have plenty of
laxative foods. These are cereals, par
ticularly oatmeal; the coarser breads,
such as graham and whole wheat;
fruit or fruit juice, particularly or
anges and prunes, and vegetables like
string beans, asparagus- and spinach.
Many children suffer from malnu
trition; that is. they fait to secure
the lood materials they need for de
velopment and growth, and conse
quently they are undersized, pale,
often slow and listless and do not
show the eager, alert habits of healthy
cliildrrn.s, Malnutrition may be due to
lack of sufficient food of any kind, to
improper food, bad rooking or to
some fault of digestion or to illness
The woman who isn't quite sure
that she likes the capes which promise
to be so popular this spring will find

RATIONS ARE SPECIFIED
How the war in Europe is affecting
people in neutral countries over there
is described in a letter written to an
Omaha friend by a young married
woman living in Berne, Switzerland,
who, in her girlhood days, was Miss
Clara Heimrod of this city. An ex
tract from the letter reads:
"You ask how living expenses are
over here. Well, not only living, but
all other expenses are sky-high. We
paid 75 cents a dozen for eggs last
winter. How high they will get be
fore the wholesale slaughter and com
plete bankruptcy of all nations is
over no one can surmise.
"Around Christmas time we had to
go begging for one-fifth of a pound
of butter, and cream was out of the
question.
"Today is the last day the law per
mits the sale of freshly-baked bread.
Experts have testified to a consider
able saving in the daily supply or
rather consumption of bread ii it is
not put on the market until it is twen-
Ity-four hours old. Woe to me. I
hare stale bread.
"Within a few days everybody will
be given specified rations for a month
of rice and sugar. Also there prob
ably will come a new law forbidding
the sale and consumption of meat two
days in the week, and on the other
days of the week only one meal
with meat per day.
"The supply of gas for cooking
purposes has been reduced for every
household. If you exceed the amount
of your allowance you are lined. This
is because of the limited amount of
coal Switzerland gets from Ger
many. For all the coal it gets it has
to give something Germany wants,
like milk or cheese, in return. In the
meantime, the prices of milk and
cheese for home consumption are
steadily climbing the ladder.
"Oh, I tell you it is a joy to live
on an oasis of peace in the midst of
a warring, stormy sea."

Because other girls teased her for

trapshooting like to call it.
Always a good field shot, it wasn't
until last winter that Miss Kellerman
took up trapshooting. Now she
scarcely misses a day without getting
in some practice on the flying clays.
She likes fresh air and sunshine as1
well as any one in the world, and
trapshooting fits in perfectly with her
daily routine. Mist Kellerman has
aspirations to become just as good a
trapshooter as she is a swimmer.
which makes it impossible for the
child properly to utilize the food he
eats.
It is a wise precaution, therefore, if
children are out of sorts, have de
cayed teeth, bad breath or seem tired
and disinclined to play to have them
examined by a good doctor and to
take all the trouble necessary to get
them into sound eating habits. The
neglect of these eayly symptoms may
mean a lifetime of only partial health
and efficiency.

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company
Tht largest, retail grocert in the world, operating over 8,100
stores all over the country, have standardized their truck
transportation service with Pierce-Arrowt. Their first Pierce
Arrow trucks, bought in 1 91 i, proved so satisfactory that sub
sequent purchases hare brought their J'ierce-Arrow fleet up
to a total of eighty-five. Since their first thorough operating
tests of Pierce-Arrow trucks, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
Company have bought no other make.
THIS h.
The Way Pierce -Arrow
Fleets Grow
IT is not difficult to sell large numbers of motor trucks
through price concessions, direct or indirect. It is a
different story to build up big fleets, sale by sale, on
the solid foundation of operating results.
That is the' way Pierce-Arrow fleets grow. They
have grown because they have helped the business they
serve to grow. And all of them, including many veiter
ans of six years' service that have written their cost
off the books, are still in satisfactory operation today.
