THE FRIEND The shepherd of the flock is resting now Within the haven of the God he served So long and well, and those he led know how His rest was earned and his reward deserved. Being our minister, he guided us In knowledge of the spirit and the soul, And in this office gently chided us To show our earth-bound hearts the worthy goal. But like a father he could realize That we are human and that life is real; That in brave hearts, though sheathed with faith, fears rise When clouds are dark; that cheer and patience feel The press of poverty, the crush of care, The sweep of sorrow and the day- light's end. His active brotherhood was every- where That need arose for comfort or a friend. --Eileen McQuiggan.

MYERS, Ph.D. I do sometimes wish that some pediatricians could read about 1000 typical letters I receive on problems mothers face to get their babies to eat. Then more of these pediatric- lans would become interested in the psychology of appetite and would realize they don't do enough when they tell the mother what to feed the child and how much; that they also need to show this mother how to cultivate an appetite in the child for this food, how to lead the child to want to eat it. Then fewer doc- tors would give such advice as the mother in the letter below says was given her. Forcing Food on Child "Dear Dr. Myers: I am at my wit's end as to what to do about getting my baby to eat. She is eleven months old. . . . The doctor told me to force her to eat. When I did she became ill; he said not to pay any attention to her sick- ness, just to go ahead feeding her. This morning I did just that, and when it was time for her to eat lunch she refused. She didn't be- but she wouldn't swallow the spinach or beets. She would push them out of her mouth just | as fast as I would put them in. And she was crying and getting up. | set and so was I. I just had to stop feeding her because I was al- most hysterical." Although it is true that a very | slight amount of resistance to a | new food might be overcome by pushing a tiny bit of it into the baby's mouth, by gradual adapta- tion; yet if this child's resistance increases instead of diminishing this 'sa Aaa 11 {cod grows more repellant and the child's resistance to all food may in- crease, The trouble is the mother ex- pects the baby to eat what she of- fers and all of it right away. She Is told what he should have and how much, Then if the child doesn't chose to eat it she proceeds to force it into him. Moreover, her unhappy emotions increase all the while and in turn increase the child's resistance and decrease his appetite. © If she is to succeed she will not bother about how much the child eats today nor about his weight now. She will think only in terms of cultivating gradually his appetite so he will be eating well and weigh enough a month or two hence.

Everywhere in the outdoors these golden days we are sure to find abundance of these the choice- est of late summer flowers. To many people asters are called "Michael- mas Daisies" and this name at once places them in their true place in the world of plants. Asters belong to largest of all botanical orders-- the Compositae or composite flow- ers, of which the well-known daisy, the thistle, the =sunflower, and the black-eyed susan gre types. The asters themselves are g very large group. In Eastern North Am- erica alone there are some 50 to 60 species. It requires expert botanical knowledge to distinguish some of these apart. for they look much alike. But fortunately for most of us who simply love wild many are easily recognized. Some asters are large and showy, others small and inconspicuous. Among them there ic a fair range of color. Several are plain white, a few are of a pale lavendar tint, many are a delicate blue, others are rich violet and one or two are deep; purple. Strangely enough there are 1o wild red asters and although one solitary species is yellow, 50 un=- usual is this last it has been placed in a group by itself and called the golden aster. Everyone know: that wild plants have decided preference for the type of country where they grow. We have plants of the fields and of the woods; ones which must have wet ground; others which thrive in the driest of soil. This is called hv scientists "habitat", The asters, though closely related, each differ- ent species has its preferred local- | ity. If we visig the low-lying swampy ground we will find the tall purple- stemmed aster or swamp aster with its light blue flowers growing abun- dantly. In the cool shady woods there are two species of wood aster, pale purple in color with large rough heart-shaped leaves ( and green zig-zag stems. Along the neglected corners of the snake or stump fences where nature has her own way, there are two dainty slen. der little asters which might be confused, for their flowers are both pale blue but their leaves are quite different. These are the heart- leafed, and the arrow-leafed asters. Many grow on the open dry fields. Some pure white, as the many- flowered aster, so called because of all the species this has the most flowers on its stems. And another, perhaps the most glorious of all this splendid family, is the New England aster. This lovely plant grows tall and upright, its whole top necom- ing a mass of rich violet flowers, and so abundantly does it cover the fields that whole acres are covered flowers, STUART L THOMPSON with its exquisite purple glory. To many people this is their favorite of the whole family, and certainly, it has won for itself the most dis= tinguished name. d There are many flowers blooming in Sentember, but no family is so widely distributed, so abundant, so rich in the glorious tints of its flowers as our many asters.
