AS cows milk differs in its percentage
of proteid, fats and carbohydrates from
that of the mother, it is necessary that
il should be so modified at intervals
as to approach mothers milk as close
Nv as possible: 1t may be necessary at
times to use the so-called patent FOODS,
but as a rule cows milk can be SO
modified as to meet every requirement.
Up to nine months no other food than
milk is necessary. 1t is also all SUM-
Client for the next three, although the
digestive secretions are now suen as
to permit Of the digestion of earbohy-
drates other than those found In milk
The transition from the purely milk
diet to a mixed diet should be brought
about very slowly and gradually. The
child of one year it cutting teeth ana
requires something upon which to bite
he Is also acquiring the power to Ill
gest starches and should have stareh
to work upon. Perhaps q piece OF dry
toast meets this double requirement
better than anything else. Eggs, fruits,
fresh or dried, and cereals, bread with
gravy, butterine or butter and mix IN
gradually reducing quantities should
make up the diet for the first year. A
little meat may be given, but 1t should
be small in amount. AS much as posi-
BILE of the food given the child during
the first few years should require
chewing. If he is to be fed between
meals give him dry crust and he will
receive positive benefit, but not on
soft bread and jam
Requirements.
| It should always be remembered that
child requires approximately one
half as much proteid and fat as does
| a man at a moderate amount OF work
while a child at 10 demands nearly as
| much. and that in q growing child one
| third of the proteid should preferably
be of animal origin. Proteids OF yege-
| table origin should be obtained from
oats in the form of oatmeal and rolled
oats, from wheat in the form of bread
| certain of the breakfast foods dnc
macaroni. from corn in the form o.
| hominy, and from the various lentlls II
