Out of this expectation springs the very bad habit of offering the baby tastes of coffee from mother's cup until the child begins clamoring for a cup of! his. own. children like food from the family table, because it is unusual and sometimes forbidden. If} we could only serve bottles of cod | liver oil on the family table and put) it cloar out of the child's reach and when he puts his hands out: for it. we should soon have him! "howling his head off" for some of it. Out of this apparently trivial hab-| it of offering baby tastes of coffee, | crops up a whole series of evil. Mrs. w. A. R. is only one of many mothers who has voiced the following ques- tion: "Is it injurious to give children | coffee? My daughter is two and one-half years old and has been allow- | ed tastes of coffee since babyhood. | She is very fond of it sweetened and | with cream. Now she expects if af- ter her breakfast. Are we wrong) not to break this habit" Yes, to both questions, but not be-| cause coffee is dangerous or harm-| ful in itself, but because it takes the} place of a more nourishing and necessary food which growing chil- dren must have, and offers very little in exchange. Coffee contains very little nourish-' ment. All there is in this drink in the way of nourishment is the cream | and sugar added to it. Tt. has. a} stimulating effect which adults notice | when they say, "I can't get my eyes open until I've had my coffee," or "If 1 don't drink coffee in the morn-| ing I have a headache until I do." If| coffee has this effect on an adult who has been used to it through long , years of indulgence, how much more marked is the effect on the small child, who reacts more violently to | any stimulant. Likewise children' don't need stimulants, they need food | in the morning. They spring out of bed with a vigor and leap into the, day's activities with a vim that is, truly appalling to their heavy-eyed parents. Why increase this by arti- ficial means? And we know -that, when a sfimulant loses its momen-| tary effect there is always a slump | and the person feels lower than ever. - One prime reason then, why coffee i is not the drink for children is -- be-, cause of the very stimulant it con- tains. No matter how good the child's breakfast, it is difficult for him to get all the nourishment he needs with- ott some drink made primarily with milk For the older child this may be a whole cup of warm. milk flavor- ed with cocoa or cereal coffee. For the child who has never had_ these flavors added, his cup of plain milk is just as appetizing as if it were all dressed up with a new taste. If he drinks coffee he won't be inter- ested in another cup of milk, so the coffee drinking deprives the child of the nourishment he should have and offers him in place of it what is practically a cup of flavored water.

Jordan of the Men's Dress Reform Party, of which he is secretary. Dr. Jordan returned to the attack in a lecture at the Royal Institute of Public Health. He scolded men, but praised women. The speaker found fault with al- average man wears. He said: 'A man's collar and tie is prepos- and uncomfortable. "Man's waistcoat and his braces are so ugly that he cannot take his coat off when he is too warm. "Trousers are ill-favored and in- sanitary monstrosities. "There is no place and no excuse for the hideous and_ ridiculous bags | known as plus fours." "How should the body be clothed?" "Clothing should be scanty to allow a big surface of skin to be exposed to light and air, and should be light, comfortable, loose and attractive. Women have their clothing, but men are self conscious and lack courage to be different." "The Men's Dress Reform Party has evolved shirts and collars that leave the neck free, yet pass muster in the office and club. Shorts have no independent claim to beauty, yet make a presentable part of a well- designed suit. They share with the kilt the virtue of allowing a good expanse of skin to greet the air and JANUARY CLEARANCE OF Overcoats Smartly tailored in values up to $25.00.
