So ttnid iihouid he taken until the end of the meal, arid, of oourae, plenty of time muafc 1 /; allowed. It fa. a gwd thing to give the hahy a bone from aix ■ months of age onv/urda. A child who hap. boon thoroughly habituated to munching at and gnawing hones, and chewing hard, dry materials, as the first solid fmai alio wed, will chew even celt food, and’ keep it a fair time 111 the mouth., rather than swallow it without any mastication at all, provided always that reasonable trouble in taken to fouler and encourage this highly necos/iary habit, NUTS. f,ater, mi to may he added to the diet, ' If them are not merely bitten and ohnp- ’ pud by the teeth, hut are thoroughly chewed and ground up hy the molars j until they become quite creamy, they have not only given plenty oi work to ; , U-eth and jaws, hut they are hif/jily ’ ■ nutritious jrnd fpiite. digestible. ’Jliey ’ j may he held out/m a food to work up ' to when the child can he trusted to miuifioato properly. Thus one can say to a child—*'lf you chew your toast and or 1111 to sufficiently wo shall he able hy-and-bye to give you oatcake or nuts ol' different kiridn, but if you do not use your teeth and jaws you cannot ’ J Imvo thorn ; besides that, you will not ’ grow up strong and woll.”

GIVE THE CIII LDREN TIME. Plenty of lime ought to bo allowed for meaty, and there should be no hurrying over thorn. No doubt it is difficult to let the children have stiflioient tirno for bathing, dressing, talcing exorcise, and break lust, and then got them off to school punctually, but it is well worth the. trouble of starting the day half an hour earlier to accomplish.'this. If the morning meal is a little late, the high* atrurig,ehih.l goto Into a fover of oxcitoment lent she- should bo hito for school. When breakfast comes her npiKitito is gone, and the child, rapidly holts some food, nnuUdion tip hor nooks, and then rushes off post-hasto. It does not require much imagination to conjure tip the train of evils to which such a course gives rise. An extra quarter of an hour will do away' with this, and your little girl will enjoy her men] and bo in plenty of timo for school, v Mothers picture the difference. In the one ease you have a nervous, peevish child suffering from indigestion, headache, defective tooth, and general impairment: in the other, the child is healthy and happy, the teeth and the jaws grow strong and servioablo, and* the whole being is full of brightness and energy. THE ESSENTIALS FOR HEALTH. In concentrating attention on one point such as mastication, we must never lose sight of the other essentials lor health/ We have repeated those over and over again, and it is needless to recapitulate thorn now. If our readers will take the trouble to look up the haolc mini hors of “Our Babies” they will find them there; and they will also find these and all other essentials for Childhood in the now illustrated edition of Who book on “The Feeding and Caro of tlm Baby” which is about to be issued by the Society. . There is one essential, however, which nearly everyone believes hi nowadays, hut which, on investigation, is found to roooivo scant attention, and that is—fresh, ftxxi-flowing outsmv air. How many ohildrott have as much pure air J as they ought to have, especially at l nightP Mothers say: “They are out all day long: indeed, they aih never in”— quite oblivious of the fact that they arc crowded together in' close rooms for 10 or 12 hours in each 24. Thus, all night long they are breathing polluted air, and a largo portion of the vigor and onoruv stored up during the day is taken from thorn by the devitalising action of the poisoned air which they breathe during tho night, It cannot bo too strongly insisted upon that merely airing a bedroom only provides enough idroali ail' to last for half an hour.
