What Foods
Children Like
By Edna 8. Dm per, Bed Cross
Childhood lasts through life. In
other words, Impressions made In
those early plastic years are Iner
adicable. Tastes established then,
habits formed, remain with us. So
that advantage should be taken of
this fact to establish food habits in
chldren that will insure health and
Strength if continued through life.
What the children like depends
to a large extent on the mother. If
she is wise, they Incline towards
those things wholesome for body,
emotions and mind. That is to
say, like* can be cultivated. The
baby who begins in his fifth month
to take orange juice is establishing
a taste fen- fruit; the baby who eats
cereal Jelly at six months will like
cereals; the baby who take pressed
vegetables at eight months acquires
the vegetable habit.
Because of the protein and min
eral elements it contains, egg yolk
should be continued in the diet of
the toddler. When he has passed
three be can eat the whole egg. Let
his only liquids be milk and water.
Children's food and adult's food are
totally different. Tea, coffee, and
highly seasoned foods like pickles,
spice cakes, candy, destroy taste for
that wholesome food the body needs
to build strength. Once make this
seem insipid to the palate, it will !
take a long time to eradicate dis
likes engendered by thoughtlessness.
Malnutrition will inevitably follow
if children eat the things that pre
vent them acquiring a taste for the
foods the body must have.
Malnutrition Is nowhere a greater
handicap than among children.
This is the period of growth which
alone uses up the eighth of the
food eaten. About another fifth
goes in digestive and bodily pro
cesses. Added to this as it is the
time of greatest activity, children
require many calories to onset
what they use up to energy. Other
wise their bodily structure cannot
keep pace with the demands made
on it Observations have Indicated
that those children lacking energy,
easily fatigued physically and men
tally, inattentive at school with
poor memories .slow of comprehen
sion and sometimes unusually rest
less, are not always dull and stupid
but often times are undernourished.
Ttiase in the best physical condition
are usually the most alert men
tally. Parents retard their chil
dren by not feedng them properly.
Most people associate malnutri
tion with poverty. That is not ne
cessarily true. Examinations have
shown that children from well-to
do homes suffer as much from mal
nutrition as those from poorer
homes. It is because they are not
fed the right foods in the
right amounts to build up their
tissues, to give them the mineral
elements their organs need, to
supply the roughage for regulation,
to insure the vitamins for tone and
vigor and to furnish energy. Milk,
green vegetables, fresh fruit, whole
grain products and water are ne
cessities if children are to develop
to the utmost physically. And the
body affects the mind and emotions
as has been shown. A quart of milk
a day including that used in soup
and puddings is the ideal. Whole
grain cereals mornings and evenings
for the two year old and mornings
for the child between three and
four. Supplement the orange Juice
of babyhood with prune Juice or
pulp. Strained pineapple or fresh
peach Juice and cooked apple Juice

are excellent and later cabbage, cel

Should the potato be forgotten when

cream or batter.
If there are certain foods a child
doesnt like because the taste has
not been cultivated when he was
small, the habit of liking can be
acquired. Find out the reason for
the dislike. Perhaps once he was
1 given something too "Tiot and . It
pained him. The pain is associat
ed with that particular food, not
with the fact that it was over
heated, hence his dislike. A moth
er always And ways to offset
dislikes and turn them Into likes.
[ One little girl Wouldn't drink milk. '
Instead of forcing her to take it
the mother placed the milk regular
ly for the other children. It was
as much as a matter of course that
she would take none. After two or
three days she began to look wist
fully at the others drinking it. Not
a word was said. In another few I
days she was asked if she wanted
to try it. She nodded. After that
little lesson, she now drinks milk
i with her brothers and sisters and
likes It.
i Ingenuity will turn dislikes into
likes when force will never succeed. .
Patience is worth while for tastes
established In children will last
through life. It may mean all the j
difference between a poor physique |
or a good one in childhod as in
later years. I

ANNOUNCES FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Shelby, Oct. 4.? Peyton McSwain,
State Senator from the 27th dis
trict, prominent Shelby attorney,
and World War Veteran, last night
definitely announced his candidacy
lor the Democratic nomination for
Attorney General of North Caro- ,
Una.
Capt. McSwain, one of the best|
known barristers in Piedmont and
Western North Carolina and for a ,
; number of years a legislative lead
! er, has for some time been consid
ered as a prospective candidate and
I has heretofore intimated that he
j might run, but no definite an
nouncement was made until last
. night
I Friends in the last General As
sembly, realizing his qualities be- ,
gan talking him for Attorney Gen
I eral. Since that time he has re- .
ceived much encouragement from
members of his profession, politi
cal leaders, and others to get in
the race. Politically speaking, he
is considered one of the best pros
?? ?
ptcU offered for us lmporUnt I
State office by the North Carolina
veterans.
"I knew I bad a number of
friends la every section of th?
State." Senator McSwain said in
wnrvmnring. "but did not realize
that I had as many as have writ
ten or communicated with me since
the papers first stated I might be
a candidate. I have been asfured
of support from leaders in practi
cally every county of the state, for
which generous offers of support I
shall always be grateful whether I
am successful in this contest or not.
If nominated and elected, as I
hope to.be, It will be my ambition
to represent the state in this im
portant office and likewise the in- t
tere6ts of all the people to the best ,
of my ability."
Peyton McSwain was born on a
Cleveland County farm. After his
preliminary education in the pub- t
lie schools and at Piedmont High
School at Lawndale, he entered the |
University of North Carolina for ,
his academic and legal training, |
graduating in 1916. That same
year he opened an office in Shelby
for- the practice of law. In Septem
ber 1917 he enlisted in the Army
as a Private, serving overseas with i
the 322nd Infantry, 81st Division.
Returning home in August 1919 he
again picked up his law practice
and soon established himself as one
of the leading members of the bar
in this section of the State. I
He has been active in politics
and the interests of the Democratic {
Party since early manhood. An able \
campaign speaker he likely has (
seen more campaign service than (
any man his age in the State. He ,
has served his county and district '
in both the Legislature and State (
Senate, He has managed numer- ,
ous campaigns for others, and in
1928 was Presidential Elector.
In "1923 McSwain was commission
ed as Captain of the Aorth 'Caro
lina National Guard, and since
that time has been the Command
ing Officer of Company "K" 120th
Infantry. In 1925 he was appoint
ed by Governor McLean as a mem
ber of his Personal Staff. He is
married, a member of the First
Presbyterian Church of Shelby, and
a teacher of the Men's Bible Class.
He Is also active in civic and {in
ternal organisation*, being a Ma
son, Shriner, Past Councilor in the
Junior Order, Post Commander and
former District Commander of
the American Legion.
McS wain's political connections
are strong, especially among the
younger element of the Democratic
Party. As a member of the State
Senate and a toy 1 Democrat he
can be counted upon to defend the
record of the recent General As
sembly, which may mean that he
will have the support of the older
heads in the Party.

PAUL IN THE88ALONICA
Acts 17:1, 5-11; I Thee. 2:7-13
Re*. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
Paul and Silas were escorted to 1
the boundary ol Phillppl by the
very magistrates who sentenced !
them. That part at the country
was also familiar ground during
the recent world war. Thessalonloa j
is the modern Salonica. The usual I
approach was made through the
Jewish synagogue. Soon, Jealousy '
arose because * the success of the
evangelists meant giving up of
many of the ancient national tra
ditions and customs. A group of
roughnecks vu stirred up to at
tack Paul and they sought him In
the house of Jason. Fortunately the
soul winners were elsewhere, and
poor Jason had" to bear the brunt
of the attack. Meanwhile high
praise was paid to the work of the
gospel in the charge that was made:
"These that have turned the world
upside down have come hither also."
Since the messengers could no
longer be heard in Tbessalonlca
they were sent forward to Berea,
where the same method was pur
sued. These fleojjle showed just
plain common sense when they took
the words of Paul and sought out
confirming references to their Scrip
ture rolls, our Old Testament. There
in they found the prophecies con
cerning the Messiah and beheld
their ' complete fulfillment in the
life and works of Jesus Christ. We
do not need to believe everything
we are told, but many a great truth
is lost because we refuse to give
attention to* the supporting evi
dence. The result was that many
believed and among the number we
find a group of Greek women of
distinction.
In passing, attention snould be
given to the various letters 'that
Paul wrote to the churches that he
established en route. Two epistles
were sent to the church at Thessa
lonica after Paul reached Corinth.
The Golden Text is a good verse to
commit to memory: "Open thou
mine eyei, that I may behold won
drous things out of thy law." Ps.
119:18.
