Feeding the
Child ofFour

During the fourth year milk still
remains an important part OF the
child's food, but much OF it may now
be given in the form of bread and
milk, milk soups or milk buildings,
or it may be poured over the cereal.
Some children object to drinking
milk and in such cases it is wise to
offer it under some such disguise. The
cereal need no longer be strained, but
must be very thoroughly cooked.
The diet at this time should in
clude all the articles advised for the
two earlier years, with the addition
of more meats vegetables and fruits.
Baked potatoes, with a little butter,
are staple food at this period. Bread
and butter or toast and butter and
plenty of hard crusts or zwieback are
important Egg Tor meat, such as
roasted, boiled or broicd beef. NUT
ton, chicken or fish, should be given
at least once day.
The child of 4 will probably thrive
on three or four meals a day. the
heaviest being taken in the middle of
the day. If he appears to be hun
cry light lunch such as milk may
be given in the interval between
breakfast and dinner or between din
ner and supper, but no nibbling
should be permitted between meals. A
child should be taught to come to the
table with that vigorous appetite for
his food which leads to good diges-
ton and assimilation.
Food should be carefully prepared
to fit it to child's powers and should
be served in an appetizing fashion
at proper intervals. Young children
should not be offered tastes" OF the
family meals, as this habit tends to
destroy the appetite for the simple,
rather restricted diet adapted to their
need.
Children should have an abundance
of pure cool drinking water. This is
especially important in summer when
they are perspiring freely. If there is
any doubt about the purity of the
water il should be filtered or boiled,
or both.
Since it is always difficult for chill
dren to chew their food properly it
should be finely minced, mashed or
softened for them throughout these
early years.
Never under any circumstances
should children be given coffee, tea
or strong cocoa. They should have
no highly seasoned or spiced foods,
rich pastries, raw vegetables, onions
corn or cabbage. Bananas and all
partly ripened fruit are apt to make
trouble.
II children are inclined to be con-
stipated they should have plenty OF
laxative foods. These are cereals, par
ticularly oatmeal; the coarser breads,
such as graham and whole wheat;
fruit or fruit juice, particularly or
anges and prunes, and vegetables like
string beans, asparagus and spinach.
Many children suffer from nalnu,
triton; that is. they fail to secure
the food materials they need for de-
velopment and growth. and conse.
quently they are understood, pale
often slow and listless and do no,
show the eager, alert habits of healthy
children.> Malnutrition may be due &c
lack of sufficient food OF any kind, tc
improper food, bad cooking or to
some fault OF digestion or to lines:
