Particularly the puny Infant, the baby that faltn .to gain in weight and strength as he should, the baby that Hiiffers from malnutrition, the baby that suffers from constipation, dally ration of, fresh raw banana benefits. This should be fed to tho Infant at the months, beginning with a half tea-' spoonful of the soft, sweet, yellow pulp the first day. a tcHHpoonful the second day, and day nfter day increase tho amount given by about a teaspoonful, so that after a month the baby will have, say. half a banana a day. Then after another month or two the bnby should have a whole banana every day. Do not add anything to the ba nana. See to It that only well ripened banana Ik given the baby. When a banana Is well ripened the skin Is fiolden yellow, flecked with brown snots, not black bruise marks. The pulp of the well ripened banana Is soft but not mushy, yellow, not black, and quite sweet. Thousands of moth ers have found that the puny baby not only thrives on a suitable ba nana ration but soon ceases to be costive or require artificial aids of nny kind for , normal bowel func lion. That's that. I reiterate it here In order to reassure those who still follow Unit nnd other antique "authorities."

They feel therefore that they muHt do everj'thlng possible, to eliminate, such associations .as seem likely .to exercise an un wholesome influence. They forget that It Is virtually. Impossible to do this except through the use of such repressive measures as must do more harm than.good. . It, is.. t strange boy or gill whose taste .In .friondd does not at some time, conflict -sharply with that of his parents. The. friends. chosen on the basis. of newly emerging adolescent in terests may appear to parents to possess not one saving grace of perwflnality. They cannot understand why It is that their hitherto sensible 13-year-old daughter has suddenly be come fascinated by the unpleasant ly I6ud and sophisticated g'il next door. , . They forge't that this girl may well represent -to their daughter certain wholly natural interests which their own training has per haps ignored, To the parent who is distressed over the vagaries of his children's choice of friends It should be com forting to reflect that there is noth ing final about friendships. They come and go, leaving be hind them very little permanent ef feet. No slnirle association h.is the power to Inflict real harm so long as the training of early childhood has h4on sound nnd the relation ship hotween parents and children continues to he one of understand ing nnd mutual trust.
