Our lesson this week is solely 4
the interest of food for the youn
children, properly prepared an
sound food. We hope mothers vii
be especially interested and mai
their comments and suggestions t
Mrs. Trego that they may be give
representation later on in this de
partment.
Who has some good recipes TO
preparing vegetables at this season
OF the year, when one is getting
bit tired of such as we have store,
In the cellar, growing tough an,
somewhat unsavory? Will tn
county housekeepers think it owe
and mail us something? We ar
sure their suggestions will be O
value.
Food for Young Children
Food for children between tire,
and six years of age should be chosen
with reference to their bodily needs
as described in the following, anC
should be carefully prepared and at
tractively served.
A little child who is carefully fec
in accordance with his bodily needs
las these are now understood) re-
ceives every day at least one food
from each of the following groups:
/. Milk and dishes make chiefly
OF milk (most important of the
group, and meat substitutes.
2. Bread and other cereal foods
3. Butter and other wholesome
fats.
4. Vegetables and fruits.
B.. Simple sweets.
The size of the portions would, of
course, depend on the child's age.
With usual quantities served the
meals should be sufficient.
Many other meals might be men
toned, for there is no food listed,
except milk, which could not be re-
placed by some other wholesome
food. Milk, if it can be procured,
should form part of the food of
every child, except when for some
special reason the doctor objects, and
this he seldom does.
The following bills of fare are
simple, easy to prepare, sufficiently
varied, and, if well prepared, should
taste good. They are so planned that
milk and another food from group
one and food from each of the
other groups will be served at least
once a day.
