TEACHING CHILDREN TO CROSS THE STREET Our idea is to teach the baby how - to cross the street while it is still rid- ing in the carriage, but soon to be walking. We adopted a routine for, crossing the street--something like this: =* eo Stop at the curb. 2. Look all four ways. (You should cross only at the corners, of course.) 3. If a car is coming, wait, and say, | "A car is coming." 4. When the cars have passed, say, "The cars-have gone,' and proceed across the street. 5. Half way across, look And so on. It would not need to be just like that. The important thing is to do it the safe way every time, and use the same phrases. In a little while baby will be doing it just the way you do, and trying to say your words. When she leans her fat tummy on the car- riage strap to look up and down, and, says, "All right: no cars coming!" you will know all over again that yours is the cunningest baby in the world. When baby begins walking on the street she will know enough not to toddle right on to the road without looking. You can gradually let her take the responsibility of saying when to wait and when to go. By and by you could let her cross certain quiet streets herself, including busier ones as she seemed able. One more word. No ball playing on again. the sidewalk; no false faces worn while crossing the street, and cross only at intersections, if at all possible, especially where cars are parked. Of course, we can never be sure that our child will not be hit by a car, no matter how careful he seems.

MALNUTRITION One child in three is physically be- low par, and practically . all physical deficiency is due to what doctors term "malnutrition" or lack of proper nour- ishment. This does not mean neces- sarily that one child in three does not get enough to eat. Actual figures, 'prove that malnutrition is as common , in the homes of the rich as among less prosperous children, possibly because children of the well-to-do are more petted and pampered. A child may have a sufficient quan- tity of food to satisfy his appetite but it does not nourish his body because the. mother or other person who pre- STUDIO COUCH-- "Triplex" 'Brown steel Crib, 27x52', "DAY - BED" Downstairs On the Porch-- In the Livingroom-- SLEEP IN COMFORT Good looking Davenport makes double bed, upholstery rust color "Tweed" effect, egeneence back and 19. 50 eevee idea, makes twin beds, each with thick, comfortable mattress, 2 grades..21.00 and 23.00 BABIES NEED SAFE FULL-SIZE CRIBS! © high smooth sides and ends, drop side, sagless spring, cotton felt mattress.

Even though they have been aware that the child is not as strong or as large as he should be for his age, they have excused themselves and him by some such expression as these: "He is just run down"; "He has no appe- tite and has never been a heavy eatr er'; "He was born this way, a frail and delicate baby." The child who is physically below par often looks perfectly well when fully clothed. Many children have | naturally chubby faces, and _ their | clothes conceal their drooping figures, round shoulders, protruding ribs, flab- by muscles and other signs of malnu- trition.

The regular monthly meeting of the W.M.S. and Ladies' Aid of Hampstead United Church was held at the home of Mrs. D. M. Henry..
