700 units; milk at 10 cents a quart.

out Of 10 cents per day If he is strong
and healthy. s@
Just at this time he cannot have
meat, but he can get full nutriment
out of potatoes cereals. peas. and

Fish is not so cheap as generally d
for the reason that there is T
large amount of waste in the skin d
