Forcing him to eat some special food very probably will be the means of developing an aversion to it. Give but one new food at a time. Start with a small amount of- fered at the first of the meal while the baby is hungry. Do not start a new food when the child is emotionally upset, for he ,may unconsciously develop an un- pleasant mental' association. o The transport of gasoline is so important that tank trucks have been cut in half, flown out of this country, and welded together again at their destination.

Unfortunately, mix-ups like these are bound to occur b when people trust to memory in calling telephone numbers. Even more unfortunately, a wrong number means an extra call on the already overburdened telephone system to correct the mistake.

"Remember, this nourishing remainder is plumb full of protein, vitamins and carbo- hydrates and becomes a highly -prized feed concentrate. "By developing new products from tnis processed grain, the modern distilling in- dustry has taken a leading part in solving the vital shortage of cattle and poultry feed ingredients which are rich in vitamins B-1 and B-2, so essential to satisfactory growth and production.

Habermehl 32101 Plymouth road Rosedale Gardens Corner of Blackburn Who is the LIGHT -SAVING WARDEN in your house? W '4. It's an important job, these days — seeing that light bulbs and reflectors are kept dust -free (you get about 1/3 more light for the same money), turning off lights in unoccupied rooms, basement, attic, etc„ and keeping a watchful eye on the household use of electric appliances. Why is it important? Because COAL is the principal raw material in the production of elec- tricity, and thousands of tons a day are burned in the four large Edison power plants. There is no shortage of electricity—but w.%en you save elec- tricity you save coal and manpower and trans- portation needed for war. And whether you save it by the more careful use of electric appliances, or by turning off the radio when no one is listen- ing to it, or by "sharing the light" of a lamp so that two or more persons can use it, you are mak- ing a direct contribution toward winning the war. Be your own "Light -Saving Warden" and help make this nationwide conservation program a success. The Government asks the help of every one of us in this worthwhile effort., Here is a chance to make VOLUNTARY rationing work. The Detroit Edison Company.
