SCK3ELD MFG. CO., 6 Poor Mastication in Children. The train of ills that follows the insufficient chewing of food is great and may start early in life. Many children,?in fact, most chileren,? unless watched and corrected, will "bolt" theirfood. When they are healthy they are also hungry, and it is natural that they should regard the mouth as a simple and rapid channel to the stomach. To teach them how to eat is often exceedingly tiresome, but it must be done, even at the cost of nagging. Insufficient mastication is especially harmful to the young, because the full growth of all the passages of the nose and throat actually depends on proper exercise of the muscles of this region in tne eariy years. The use of the jaws in mastication is one of the best ways for a child to get this exercise; and if he misses it, by reason of improper habits of eating, the consequences may be very disagreeable. Children who are not taught to use their teeth are likely to have inadequate nasal passages and a sluggish, local circulation, which in time lead to constant attacks of influenza and presently to the growth of adenoids. The child whose nasal and throat passages are well developed and constantly fed with a stream of pure blood does not continually come >' - - i?i >> ?i down Wltn COiOS in ine neau, aim is not likely to suffer from adenoid growths. You sometimes see children whose parents are bringing them up in the most approved way hygienically. They sleep in large, well-ventilated nurseries; they spend hours each day in the open air, and all the resources of science are at their service; yet they are not healthy. They are anaemic, nervous, pale little mouthbreathers. It is well in such cases to examine the habits of eating. Sometimes a nhvsician finds that the diet is too exclusively of the pap variety?that the child does not get a fair chance to use his teeth. In other cases, although the food is of the proper kind, the child is not made to masticate sufficiently. The results are equally unfortunate. The nut-eating game is a good a/nv tn teach children to masticate properly. The child who can chew an a Brazil nut for the longest time is the prize winner. Everyone in the game discovers how very good the food tastes when it is eaten slowly, yid begins to form the habit 5f long chewing.

I 15 w. 2nd St., ST. LOUIS, MO* I a?????| Letter From "Poor Conrad." (This letter is published by request as taken from the Johnsonville Progress.) Dear Sir;?I wish to write a few lines to the readers of your good paper. I have been in this section for the past two weeks, and am much pleased with this part of old Williamsburg county and its people. I made the acquaintance of many and received a kindly welcome. Mr A C Hanna, who, after a close ^scrutiny, has located me and convinced himself that I am the "Poor Conrad" of the County Record fame. He seemed quite pleased to find me out and / requested me to write a short lettef to the Johnsonville Progress. I am not so well today, as I am suffering with a cold, but as I have oa Irini-llo troatp/1 Kv thpap ffnnH ikrc^IJ OU niUUIT Vt VMWVI vt.vwv. people, especially by Mr W W Johnson and family, I wish to express my appreciation. It was by Mr Johnson's invitation, when I met him in Kingstree, that I visited this part of the / country. I came here in a small motor boat from Kingstree.down Black river to the Great Pee Dee and Lynch's Creek, which some will no doubt think a long trip for one who is past four score years. I was quite touched by a little incident which occurred while I was \ sitting in Mr Richardson's store. A little boy saw the Confederate Cross of Honor pinned on my collar and j ? c T niftn n f a/1 a?>n f rt oaI. aSKcU lllc 11 i waa a V/Uuicuciotc ovr dier. I replied: "My little man,I am not one row, but I was at one time." It was with pride that I told him I was one of General Robert E Lee's ragged few who shouldered the musket in 1861 and went to old Virginia shoulder to shoulder with the boys of old Williamsburg. Among them were old lion heart George Graham, eagle heart Lonnie Flagler, old rough and ready Pete Epps. Indeed those poor old boys had a hard time who made a wall of their breasts and kept Grant's hosts back from the gates of Richmond for many long months, through heat and cold, dust and rain and winter blasts for our Fatherland, theSouth. God bless our Southland! Poor old boys;they are tottering on the road for a few more days. Readers of this good paper, when you visit Kingstree, look up at the statue at the cross street, see the man up there with the gun, see him on his post watching, yes, often peering through the darkness of wintry night, through blinding sleet and Qnntx7 The little boy I mentioned touched a tender spot in the old man's heart and he has said more than he had intended to say, but, Mr Editor, , you know that was in the long ago, and when once my mind is reminded of the long ago, I feel like saying ? something. "Yes," said the little m boy, "my grandfather was a Con- 1 federate soldier." "Yes," said I, * "little man, all the old men we meet in the South were Confederate soldiers." Yours truly, Conrad Constine. . 0
