women When they have onee learned
the pleasures of health and how IN
comfortable it is to be sick, they
will be ready to give up unhealthy

] must confess to being h0rrifed
when l see children given tea and
coffee. ! speak Of this because it9is
so very common, and this largely
/ through seeing elder members OF the
family using il so freely. It reminds
me of a little 4-year-old boy in kin

Cool, never iced, water Is his beT-

indigestion or bilious attacks Will
surely follow.
There is a happy medium and
balance in foods and right living. and
when once established we are sur
prised to find it all so simple and
easy. Avoid pies. rich cakes. pre-
serves. pickles and much candy

Ripe bananas are wholesome food
for children. If meats are used-and
! they are not necessary to build his

more than three or four times a week.
Never pork or rich fowls. such a.
goose or duck. Substitutes for meat:
Eggs, milk, nuts and beans. Most
children like nuts. If they are mixed
and ground fine with twice the quan-
tity of rice. hominy-grsts or mashed
potatoes, they will receive 4 p1ract
meat value, and far better for their
growing and developing bodies.
Desserts? Yes, if they are simple
and dainty ones. A cup eustard or
rice pudding with dates. fgs OF
raisins after a no-meat dinner.
baked apple, tapioca pudding with
fruits, apples. pineapples, etc, VIII
a nut or bean dinner. Gelatine des
serts with fruit are good and desir-
able.
Now. il We have made ourselves
clear as to why children should have
the right food, and what. in = best
judgment and experience, these right
foods are, it will be an easy matter
to plan good, likable and attractive
meals for the ~children's table.

Whole Wheat Bread and Butter.
Stewed Figs and Cream
Each dish in the above menus has
a decided food value. Cream soups
are most excellent for luncheons or
suppers, but they should be eaten
slowly. The macaroni and milk take
the place Of meat. Figs stewed and
