the little narrow upright cylinders of
oil heaters sold here only do half of
their duty, as one may easily prove if

and nothing else that accounted for the
presence OF himself and Mrs. Robin In
the middle of winter there In TIE

Just as soon as Peter recovered from
his surprise at the discovery of them
he had so many questions that they al
most tripped over each other.
When did you como back? Why did
you come back? Why did you come
back? How far south did you go? Is
Mistress Spring coming early? How
can you live with nothing to eat?

'What?" cried Peter. "1f you haven't

Why You Need Five Groups.

Fruits and vegetables furnish some
of the material from which the body is
made and keep its many parts working
ton. which gives You headaches and
makes you stupid. The kinds you
choose depend upon the season. but
remember that the cheaper ones are
often as valuable as the more expen-
sive.
Milk. eggs. fish. meat. peas and beans
help build up the growing body and re-
new used-up parts. That is their main
business. Dried beans and peas make
good dishes to use in place of meat part
Of the time. but don't leave out the
other foods entirely. Milk is the most
important. Each member of the family
should have at least pint a day. NO
other food can take its place Tor chill
dren.
Bread and breakfast food act as fuel
for the body. And they are sometimes
the cheapest fuel: besides. they give
the body building material. Wheat
bread is not the only kind Of cereal
food. The government requests that
flour be saved for the troops in France.
so the north should try the southern
corn bread, and the south will like the
oatmeal of the north. Half of the fun
in cooking is trying new dishes. An
oatmeal pudding is delicious.
Sugar and sirups are also fuel for the
body and they give favor to other
foods. They are valuable food. but
they need. Sweet fruits, of course, con-
tain much sugar and are better for the
children than candy.
The fats are especially needed by
hard d-working persons, and it is we'll to
remember that the expensive fats are
no better fuel than the cheap ones. Use
drippings. Obtain the trimmings from
your meat of the butcher. for they be-
longst to you. Children need butter fat.
Give it to them in plenty Of whole milk
or in butter.
Evening star., 1918-01-17
Choose Your Food Wisely.

There are five food groups. Study
each of them. for they serve special
purposes in nourishing the body. Sc
lect some food from each group daily.
They are as follows:
Vegetables and meats.
Milk, eggs, fish, meat, cheese, beans.
peas and peanuts.
Cereals - Corn meal oatmeal rice.
bread. etc.
Sugar. sirups. jelly. honey. etc.
Fats-Butter. margarine. cottonseed
oil. olive oil, drippings and suet.
1t is possible to exchange one food
for another in the same group. For ex-
ample, oatmeal may be used instead OF
wheat. and eggs. or sometimes beans.
instead Of meat: but oatmeal cannot be
used instead of milk. Use both oatmeal
and milk
