Again ,1 beg parents and others
to give the fmhy plenty of bananas
but not to allow htm to have pen-
nuts or united nuts In nny form
until he is 6 years old or oliler.
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."
While I heartily approve the
feeding of bananas to the baby

,".JCow so far as I know there is
nothing at nil objectionable ' In
feeding peanut oil to an Infant 1n
lieu of butter or milk fat, nor Is
there any-good re'ason Why '-.little
tots should not have plenty of pea
nut butter on their bread or crack-,
era. Indeed the household that
makes liberal use of peanut butter
In the feeding of the children is a
well managed household, In my
Judgment. There Is scarcely an
other item of food that surpasses
peanuts ,ns a staple of the dietary,
all factors nutritive vnlue, dlges
tiblli'ty, palatnbllity and cost be
ing considered.
Hut no peanuts or salted peanuts
for the children under 5 years taf
age.
Here Is why not:
Dr. Brady:
Least Sunday onr baby aged
20 months got hold of a snlted
peanut. Rome of It Went down
' the wrong way.
(That "going down the
wrong way" means aspiration,
breathing Into the chest the
foreign body or bit of food.)
Hoth my husband nnd my
self were near him at the time
but failed to notice anything
Witt he gave a choked cry.
We shook him upside down
nnd tried every way to relieve
him. but he only seemed to
grow worse. So my husband
started giving him nrtlflc.nl
respiration, while I railed onr
doctor, who arrived In 10
minutes.. They rushed the
baby to the hospital, where
they had a terrific time, but
when It was nil over the doc-
tor said It wns the artificial
respiration that had saved the
child'. We jud happened to

at the same time spanking on , the
back . up between the uhouldcr

This should be tried for only, a few

H fails the child should be placed

the floor or a .table or bed and
artificial .respiration applied unUI

. ;;V DlMnAniK FRIEND. .fi
Parents generally feel- -free ; to
interfere in thlr children's friend
ships. , - 1 -
' They know -that by the time :
child is- 10 or ohler his friends
influence his condnot far more
than do his parents nnd teachers.
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.

the time hack several ilnys nntl
took John nnil Pessy. on a long
trip, but .it did. not j
take them long nt I
all.
The Clock had a
special, air pilot I
tuke them all over
across the tnd I
thou across some
conntrics until they I
landed In Poland.
There they, sit

making . great sil
ver Btnrs. T h e y
were making these
stars, with backgrounds-.of...car-bonrd
so thoy would oe very utroriR.
Then they bent and turned, them
around, to that they were ioiiuwt to
gether. In the center they. put. a
big candle , ;. i ...
"They put the candle in the citt
out star something the way we put
a candle in a jack o' lantern at
Hallowe'en," John said. They ariy
making them so they look great,
aren't thoy?" he asked. ,
The Utile niack Clock nnd Peg
gy agreed that this was So, lor the
boys had cut the silver paper
rays from the stars flickered ami
twinkled in the soft candle light.
"Now watch," said the Little
Black Clock
John nnd Peggy watched nnd saw
the boys, with their candlellghteil
stars, going through the vlllnges
and stopping nt all the houses
whore there were children.
The children in these houses
were expecting the boys with tho
lighted stars, lor all their lights
Were out and they were loaning
their . faces out of the window
panes. . There they were waiting, look
ing Out into the darkness, when
suddenly the beautiful, gleomlns
silvery star with the flickering
light from the candle appeared out
side each window.
Then th older boys song carol
all of this for the boys and girl
who were yonnger than they.
They were so glad the Little
lllack Clock had turned the time
hack so they could see these sllvfr
stars.
