M.D. ~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY FOOD LIKES AND DISLIKES One of the questions most common- ly asked is as to how their child may be taught to like the food which they know he should eat. We all like foods to which we are accustomed. It is for this reason thai it is essential to begin in infancy to accustom the cliild to the; taste of desirable foods which he will then like throughout life because he Is accustomed to them. Cereals are introduced into the diet ot the infant before the sixth month; vegetable juices shortly after. Other foods, in small amounts at first, are gradu- ally added. If this is done, by the time the child is two years of age, a good start will have been made. Our likes and dislikes are largely matter of imitation. We begin to cat olives because we see that others eat them with pleasure, that, indeed, they regard them as a luxury.

Enough Generals To Start Good Sized War The ten per cent cut on Civil Ser- vi<"e salaries occupied the time of the House on Friday. The ten per cent is to apply to all Civil Servants re- ceiving $1200 a year and over, except Lieutenant Governors, Judges, mem- I had made her greatest mistake in going back to the gold standard in 1925. He showed that unemployment figures lhave dropped considerably in Great Britain since she abandoned the gold standard. He quoted Sir Thomas White and the Financial Post as having said that Great Britain had gained an advantage in foreign mar- kets by leaving the gold standard. Another member quoted the Hon. a small amount and act as if the child should eat it, as if he were now old enough to have his adult food. Food should be served in an at- tractive manner. Meals should be at regular hours and time taken to enjoy each meal. Give small serv- ings and repeat, rather than one very large helping. A dislike for bland foods, such as milk, frequently means that the child is having too much of some sweet foods or of foods with a very distinc- bers of the Military, Naval and Air Forces, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In short, all the elements of force are to be paid in full. There are more highly paid men in the Department of National Defence than in any other department of the service. 139 people receive between ?4,000 and $4,900; 30 people receive between $5,000 and $5,900 and 15 between $6,000 and $6,900. We seem to have enough arm-chair gen- erals to swing a good sized war any time and they take no cut in salary. Reginald McKenna, president of the Midland Bank of Great Britain as having said in January this year: ''The time has gone by for the child-like belief that as long as a country is on a gold standard all is well." And in the same speech the Hon. Mr. Mc- culture could gain much by aliming our money to fall in value to the Brit- ish level. The monied interests in Canada meeting payments In New York are entirely against this policy and want as rapidly as they can to bring the Canadian currency back to the American level, in other words to the gold standard level. "V This week has brought me many opportunities of meeting interesting people. Last night at the home ot Dr. O. D. Skelton, I had the oppor- tunity of chatting informally with Mr Burton of the Robert Simpson Com- pany, Professor Macdonald of the De- partment of English, Toronto Univer- Kenna said: "The world crisis is due; sity and others. I have been reading in part to the inefficient working of Mr. Burton's speeches for some time our monetary machinery." flavor. In such cases all sweets The Prime Minister has been saying and highly flavored foods Should be] on more than one occasion that thp withdrawn for a few days. Children are not to be scolded or blamed for their food dislikes. The parents are wholly responsible. The child's likes and dislikes are the re- sult of the training which he has re- ceived from his parents, whom, after all, he did not select. By proper training, it is possible to have child- ren who like simple, wholesome foods The world depression is now a sub- Ject like the weather. Everybody talks about it but nobody does any- thing cbout it. foods is largely the attitude their children will have. If parents can- not train themselves to eat and en- joy desirable foods, and so set a good example, they cannot expect to train their children to do so. Children want to drink tea or coffee because they see their parents drink them with some relish. The same desire can be cultivated in the child for any foods, through the example shown by the parents It sfliould be a fixed rule never to talk about the food dislikes of a child when he is present Refer to his likes, if something about food must be dis- cussed, but never to his dislikes. Such discussions, or the display of feelings even without words, fix the dislikes permanently in the mind of the dhild When a new food is given, there should be no fuss about it. Serve Twp. Liable For Footpath Responsibility for construction of footpaths along highways of Ontario rests with the townsliips hi which they lie, said Hon. Leopold MacAulay, Minister of Highways, commenting on criticism voiced Thursday by Rev. D H. McLaren, rector of St. Jdhn's An- glican Church, Winona. Mr. McLarei: criticized the government for not pro- viding means of footpaths, speaking at the funeral of Mrs. Verna Robert- son and her sister, Nettie Stewart, both of Winona, who were struck and fatally injured by an automobile on the highway on Sunday, February 14. The Government contributed 40 per cent of the cost of construction of ?'ich footpaths to the townships, said "Ir. McCaulay. THE STORB WITH ER7ICB F. T.

It is closo enough for us to recall the near- mutiny of the British Navy over the cut, in fact it is rumored that this threatened mutiny scared the bankers into advising the Government to go off the gold standard and we all re- call reading of huge demonstrations of public workers in London. Of the r.ll round slashing of expenditure in Great Britain, Lord Marley said: "We have a bankers government carrying out a bankers' policy to meet a bankers' crisis caused by bankers mismanagement." Which seems a rather neat way of putting it. In sharp contrast to the fat living of the arm-chair military officers is the fate of several hundred private* in the last war. The Canadian Leg- ion has a shelter in Ottawa for single destitute soldiers. It was opened on December 8th, 1930, with sixty beds and when I visited it this week I found that four hundred of these men were being sheltered every night. They are serving fifteen hundred meals a day. A few men still have a room but no money to buy food, so they eat at the shelter. This past few months, many "white-collar" workers are forced to seek the hospitality of the shelter. Two buildings are oc- cupied, thc old Perley Home and nn old Government building. Everything is kept very clean and cooks, waiter and workers of all kinds are drawn from their own tanks, except the rurse in charge of the hospital. A group of medical doctors give theii time to thc sick. It is financed as follows: $10,000 from the sale of poppies; $10,000 from the city % of Ottawa, for direct relief and $10,000 from private donations by the public. Each meal costs on the average 5M> I ate there and had good soup, beef and potatoes, pie and coffee. They get clothing and supplies direct from the manufacturer at the lowest pos- sible cost. When outfitting a man for work in the north woods or on thp rational highway, the Colonel in charge told me th-?y did it for $8.95. The House discussed this week the advisability of a bonus on sugar beets. The question that naturally comes to the mind of a member for a mix*>d farming district like Soutn-cast Grey is how is the stock farmer to pay a bonus to the wheat farmer, the wool farmer and the beet farmer. There is no end to this bonusing business, once we start on it. An astonishing thing happened early in the week. The Prime Minister refused to allow Mr. Woodsworth to introduce a bill to amend tho Criminal Code, a bill which has already five times passed the Commons and as many times been turned down by tho Senate. The opposition challenged his right to exclude the bill, but o-i course were defeated, 72-49. When the Speaker, following the usual routine, said: "Shall the Hon. Member hav leave to introduce this bill," the Prime Minister in a loud voice saio "No!" And after a general hubbub and a lot of warm passages a vote was taken with the result above. A resolution was introduced asking, that the British Empire Conference ! meeting in July in Ottawa bo askod 1 o study the stabilization of currency, in an endeavour to work out economic unity in the Empire. The DeM'p showed a great differ- ence of opinion in the Commons on p question of the gold standard. The Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce made nn ex- ellent speech on money standards throughout the world. The. Prime minister wns nil fo>- the irold standard 'Few things have dune more in fury, .ising tlx> word in a broad se^ise, than he action taken by Great Britain In roing off the gold slanrttml," V snid. fn opposition to that view, Mr. Coote f McLeod, said that Great Britain One thing is very clear to me. Can- adian agriculture is ot fi great disad- vantage since our exportable surplus fc: - the most part must be sold in Great Britain, paid in British funds, which when translated into our money brings to the producer less than it wopld if we were on a parity with thp British pound sterling. At the pres- ent time the pound in Canada is worth ID.97. The old value was $4.87. When we send cattle to England an animal which brings a net price of 10 in Liverpool today, brings the Canadian exporter only $39.70. li our currency were at a par with Brit- ish currency the same animal would bring the Canadian producer $48.70. We lose $9 on the exchange racket Take one other example; a shipment of wheat bringing 1,000 in Liverpool funds, when translated into Canadiar would at the moment bring $3,970 to the Canadian grower. If our currency were at a par with the, British pound, the same shipment would bring the with interest, and so enjoyed meeting him. A small dinner party at Gov- ernment House provided the oppor- tunity of meeting the Countess of Bessborough. She was even more beautiful in the informal setting ol her own home than when seen at a state function and though French is her native tongue, she speaks perfect English. You will possibly have noticed that the Countess has sailed for England. She did not take the baby with her. On Wednesday evening the wives of the Cabinet Ministers hold a re- ception for members of Parliament, Senators and their wives and daugh- ters. It was a thoroughly enjoyable affair, a little gayer and less formal than usual. Everybody seemed to have a good time. The reception is an annual event which always takes place on a Wednesday since, that is the only night of the working week on which the House does not sit.

Make! - SO many motorists have discovered the difference six cylinders make that today the Chevrolet Six leads all other automobiles in sales. Six cylinders arc better in every way. Tor example, Chevrolet's six-cylinder motor "picks-up" in high gear quickly and without vibration. You get away ahead of the traffic and you do not have to shift gears so often. Secondly, you can drive as fast and as fur as you like without any sense of strain or fatigue. For six-cylinder tr.ivel is smooth, quiet and restful at every speed. Then, too, Chevrolet smoothness is built-in smoothness inherent in six-cylinder design and Chevrolet's method of insulating cnine from chassis by thick rubber cushions. It protects against the wear-and-tcar of constant vibration as long as you drive jour Chevrolet. In addition to these great advantages, Chevrolet offers you Free Wheeling with safe, silent Syncro-Mesh gear shifting. It gives you 60-horsepower pcrtbrmance uitb lowest operating costs of any full-size car, regardless of the number of cylinders. And Chevrolet provides Bodies by Fisher smarter, roomier and more lastingly quiet. Drive a Chevrolet Six. You will find one pleasure and advantage after another to emphasize the fact: It's Wise to Choose a Chev- rolet Six?
