pfHAT parents require common sense In the feed-
I ing of their children la best exemplified by the
r tragic death of. a two-year-old boy named
Etanley feert Turner;', of Bomersham. Huntingdon
shire. He died; under such peculiar circumstances
that a coroner- summoned a Jnry 'to, Inquire Into
the cause of death, and from the STldencs of the
parents It appeared that this Infant only two years of
age, bad been riven for breakfast fried es; for lunch
on, Yorkshire pudding, tea, bread and butter; for din
ner, warm milk and cbeeee; for supper, roast pork and
beer. , The , Jury returned a verdict . that the child
cameHo Its death from "indiscreet feeding:." but the
popular verdict will be that it was a case of murder

- On the--other band It a child has a strong desrre for
on kind ot food, it Is unwise to deny it unless yon
can show a very -good reason tor so doing, when you
should tell the child that reason as simply as possible; ,
as, for Instance, "No, dear, that will give you a pain In
your stomach or make you: sick." Never be misled

Raw beef Juice is most valuable tor young and weak

leaving it to stand for eight hours, By that time it s
Is a very good plan to spread it on their bread instead
of butter. For dinner at about sixteen months ot age
a little boiled , whits fish, such as haddock or cod,
carefully picked over so as to be tree from bones, 'and
the flakes well shredded so as to be easily digested,
may be given with a mealy potato squeezed from the

should be careful not to omit salt

Important food.' ' ' '
Plenty of fresh, pure water should
be allowed. It should be remembered
that water is. In trth, the most
all articles of food, but I think Darents need not be so
afraid as they sometimes seem to be of allowing their
.-children to take it tor-ltselt::;v;v:'c..?,r-s'..uy.
Dinner should consist of meat, bread, vegetables and ,
fruit or fruit pudding; suet pudding with brown sugar
or malt extract is very good tor children; with water
for a drink. At breakfast fish, or an egg. or marma-
lade, or stewed fruit; should be given as a change from
the usual porridge, or bread and milk r uoth at this
meal and tea, the drink should be milk only, cold or
'Warm, or diluted with water and sweetened to taste.
; For tea bread and butter or bread and marmalade, or ,
toast with perhaps a little stewed fruit for a change.
If supper Is required, plain crackers, bread and .butter,'
' with milk and water or bread and milk may be given.
' The craving; for sugar in children Is a natural and '
- wholesome one. 'Physiologists have proved that both
- sugar and fatty matters are oxidized in the body or, I
- might say, burnt up and during this process heat Is
evolved.! Now, the child. Just as much as It loves sugar
abhors fat, and It Is only reasonable to suppose the
childish system demands more sugar firstly, because
It loses more heat than the adult and, secondly, be
cause It cannot deal with much fat looking at the i
. matter from this point of view we see how wrong are
those people who object to give their children sweet
things which the adult does not very much care tor,:
while trying to force them to eat fat tor which they,
have a supreme disgust. People are apt also to give
pie should have the, good things which they are tor- .
oiaaen. ar, nowever, you give a reason wnicn at ones
appeals to their own experience of the order of nature, ".
they are ready to. recognize. lt as a sound one, ,
Children when they are much out of doors and very -active,
as all children should be require- very much
more food, and "more nourishing food, than -when they -are
confined to the house . and sit about a great deal.
Hence, if a child Is kept Indoors by some slight In
disposition, It should not, as a rule,, be pressed to eat, t
It there Is any disinclination for food, as that disincline
'Ion generally arises from the tact that food, for the 7
time being. Is not required; and If under tJiese clrcum-
stances the child Is encouraged to eat by the offer ot
dainties, a great deal more barm than good Is done. ...
Many a slight Indisposition Is made a grave one by the
tendency parents have to stuff their children with food '
as a remedy for Ills. ,;, :. '!v;'w:V-V--'!" " '
It a child Is constitutionally' feverish and excitable, ,
Its diet should be unstlmulating, and consist mainly
of milk, farinaceous land 'vegetable food. If, on the
other hand. It Is dull and lymphatic, disinclined to ac
tivity and with cold extremities, Its food should be,1 .
as stimulating rs possible, mainly animal; In this -con-
dltlon, too, coffee may be given with breakfast and tea
at tea time; and tn extreme cases a little wine may
be allowed at dinner. By means of careful dieting;
much may be done to influence for good constitutional ,

one, ' especially among the 7. F.
Vs. (First Famines of Virginia),
tut the explanation of the term Is not by
any means clear. ' It Is supposed that the
term "blue blood, was applied especially
to those women of refinement and deli
cately translucent skins,' through which
the blue blood In the veins appeared, this
being esteemed a mark of high breeding :
en& ancestry. ' s" 't ' Uii' , "
To the scientist "blue blood" means
something very different The blood In
the arteries should be of a bright red
color, and only after 1 it 'has ) passed
through the system and the oxygerf has
been extracted by the lymphatics, for the
nourishment of the tissues, does the blood
appear blue as it courses through the
veins, on its way back to the lungs tor
renewing the needed oxygen, '-k i

blood he draws It either from tbs wrist

v The physical explanation of red blood
and blue Is plain to the physician, for he

passes through the lungs once every min

phatics at it .hurried through the system

Dr. Robert Lk Watklns has called spe
dal attention to the valne of this ex- '
aminatlon of the; blood as to color, ' for "
diagnoslnr diseases, holding that It Is a I
simple and valuable: source of informs-:
tlon. He has found that the blood Is al
ways blue In cases of scurvy, typhoid
fever ; (during the destructive tissue i
stage), gangrene, asphyxia, apoplexy -and
paralysis, u In 'ptomaine poisoning and
auto-lntoxlcatlon the blueness Is very dis
tinct, and Is of great value because it

need not "wait to . go to his laboratory
and microscope.
It has been found that In diabetes the
blood Is generally red,i or even scarlet,

U ' Lady Nicotine" and how many ,
. mmiona burn incense before her
altarare not all aware of the origin of
the word nicotine, or of the correct ac
count of the awakening to the value of
tobacco on the Continent ot Europe. Most
of us are satisfied with the statement that
Bit- Walter Raleigh Introduced the "weed"
Into England, and suppose that It spread
thence' all over Europe simply for amok
lag purposes. i k
It we go bach; to an old Black Letter
volume dating from the year 1677 we gain
a. clearer view ot the subject and inter-,
eating Ught on the origin of the word
nicotine as applied to the chief element
- in tobacco. . According to this venerable
authority, sow more1 than three hundred
years old. Master, John Nlcot, Counsellor
to the King, being Ambassador for the.
King In Portugal, In the year of our Lord such beneficent effects were produced by
1569. '60, '61, went one day to see the , this herb; and having heard that the Lady
prisons of the King of Portugal, and a
gentleman being the keeper of th said :
prisons - presented t him ; a herb, u
strange plant brought from Florida, ,
j This same Master NIcot, having caused
the said herb to be pet in his garden,
. where it grew and multlpUed marvellous
ly, was upon a time advised by one ot ;
his pager that a young man, some kin .
to that page, made a plaster of that herb
bruised, both the herb and the juice to-,
gather, upon an ulcer, which he had. upon
his cheek near his nose, coming ot a noli
me tangere, which hadUken root already
at the base ot the hose? and that he found
himself much easier at once. -Therefore
the said Master : NIcot caused ' the sick
Montlgny that was had died at Saint Ger
main of an ulcer on the breast which
had turned tato' a noU me tangere, for '
which no remedy was known at that i
time, and that the Countess of Ruffe had
consulted an the famous physicians of. '
that realm to help to heal her face, but
that none of them had found any remedy, ,
he thought it wise to edmmunloate his '
good news to France; and, therefore, sent
to King Francis IL and to the Queen
Mother, telling them all about 'tobacco
and how to nse It, as well as how to
apply It to this dread disease, ashad
been. proved by experience.''.
In this way we have evidence that to
bacco was considered the cure for ulcers

mBB next worse thing to a toothache Is

. a .but these days of terrible anticipation
ot horror: are past,' if the latest approved .
methods are used. Not only can the dentist '
make the extraction ot a tooth painless by,
using cocaine or some other nerve-deadener
' around the roots of the tooth, but he can'
' perform .the tar more nerveacktng opexv '
.atlon pf grinding put a cavity, and fining

'inconvenience or pain. - v " , ' '
. The magical means of seomtng absolutely
painless dentistry Is nothing else than the
f administering of a mixture ot nitrous oxide
and oxygen by Inhalation through the nose, .,
while' the mouth remains open for the den-
tint to do all the work he finds necessary.
By the latest method ot administering this
causing the said herb to be applied to the
sore eight or ten days, until It was com
pletely cured and healed. And 'he had it'
sent while this cure was working to a
certain physician ot the King of Portugal,'
the most famous In his time, to see the
further working and effect of the said'
nicotiano, j He then sent for ; the same
young man at the end of the ten days,
and brought him before this physician
that he might see how the herb had acted
upon the sore, and he certified that the :
said noU me tangere was indeed utterly .
than for smoking; and In this' way the
word ' nicotine . Is; to be traced to this
Ambassador, John NIcot
The explanation of this effect Is very aim
. pie, from a physiological estandpolnt v. The
effect of the combination ot nitrous oxide and
oxygen is not at' all like that of the Inject
ing of certain drugs into the spine, by which
all nerves are deadened, but it simply par
' alyses tor a time the ends of the nerves,

new painless method Is that the administer

steward ofr the house of this gentleman
ran to the said nlcotiano and dressed his
thumb therewith five or six times, and it 1
