building material that they are
equal to meat a. food il combined
with cheese. which furnishes the fat
that they lack, and the combination
makes a perfect food.
Cereals contain in varying proper

energy giver Oatmeal and corn-m:al
contain more fat than other cereals,
and therefore, make a good winter
