Harry Ross, who had been guest OF

chatting with Proprietor Mckay one day
In May, when Baron b. #. Qrunebaum,

Children,s Luncheans.

The requisite fast between meals Is for
grown folks and not little folks to heed.
Children az class are small eaters: they
play hard, and the very ruthlessness Of
their merry lives !nsures digestion. When
they ask for something to eat It should
be forthcoming, and the best that can be
had. II only nutritious foods, suitable
to their delicate organization, were served,
health would be commonsr among men
ana women. As the child develops his
habits of life change, Instead of being
outdoors playing all day he Is indoors

digestion and necessitate regular meals
and nothing to eat between them,
