Give Your Children Meat in
Moderate Quantities
Serve Other Nutri-
ticus Foods.

Children should be given meat only
in moderate quantities. In the first
place, it is overheating when eaten
to excess, it taxes the digestion very
severely and, from an economic stand
point, there are many other foodstuffs
that are just as nutritious.
Writing on spaghetti and allied
products, DR.. Hutchison, one of the
worlds foremost dietitians, says that
they are absorbed almost in their en-
tirety."
This means that practically every
morsel of Faust which IS
made from Durum wheat, a cereal eX-
tremely rich in gluten-goes to en-
rich the blood and build UP the body.
Faust Spaghetti is very easy to digest
and easy to prepare. And the many
ways it can be prepared to tease the
palate is truly surprising. Large
packages 1oc. Serve it often, espe'
cially to the children
