DIET OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Articles Which Should Form the Dau ,
Regimen.

Articles Which Should Form the Daily
Regimen.
Every successful farmer and every
one who cares for young animals knows
very well that the food given them dur.
ing the first portion of their lives haa
much to do with building up healthy,
hardy, strong constitutions for future
usefulness, but until very recently few
people have seemed to be aware that
the diet of school children is one OF
the most important items for them to
consider.
Boys are more easily fed than girls
their romping and exercise generally
giving them much better appetites; but
even boys, when they are very studious,
are apt to get little run down and lose
their digestive vitality. Then they
neglect their food, and come home some
times with the luncheon in their bas-
kets, and, in answer to inquiries, de.
clare they were not hungry and posi-
lively could not eat anything.
When a child comes home with itA
midday luncheon in basket. its physi.
cal condition needs looking after. It
Is often said that girls have an inordi.
nate appetite for sweets, and that boys
are much more easily satisfied. Per.
haps this may be SO in certain local..
ties, but the average boy is likely to be
quite as fond Of sweet things as his
sister. Many youngster eats bread
and butter when he prefers cake, be-
cause he has learned that he must eat
or he cannot play. 1t is this feeling
that keeps him in better condition than
the girl in the same household. IF the
girl would take as much exercise in pro
portion, her appetite would be quite
as good. However this may be, a great
deal Of pains ought to be taken to pro-
vide relishabls, wholesome and dainty
luncheons for school children. Fruit
should always be included. There is
scarcely season of the year when one
may not have apples, and these are,
of all fruits, the most healthful.
An excellent meal can be made out
of sandwiches, apples and boiled eggs.
Sardine sandwiches are very relishable.
and as sardines are not at all expensive,
they should be used, If the children like
them. If milk is plenty, bottle or
can of it is an excellent addition to the
midday diet for school children. Cook.
les, crackers and sweetmeats are to be
used sparingly, and every effort should
be made to encourage children in culti-
waiting taste for plain and simple food.
