8. Cereais-This includes bread and
all such foods as oatmeal, macaroni,
rice, hoIniny, breakfast cereals and
cornmeal. Their most important work
is to furnish the body with fuel,
though they also contain some pro-
TEN and ash. They are the cheapest
form of fuel, SO use plenty of them.
The breakfast cereals often cost less
per pound if you cook them at home,
instead of buying the ready-prepared
kinds. Some of the large packages,
which cost 10 or Is cents, contain only
one-fourth pound of cereal, While you

scarce or expensive, choose one or
more foods from the same group.
1. Vegetables and Fruit-Everyone
likes fruit, and it is good for you-so
are vegetables. Since they furnish
mineral matter, both help to build up
the bones and other parts of the body
and keep it in good working order.
They help to prevent constipation. All
kinds are good-use them, fresh, dried
or canned. Prunes, r~aisins, apples and
other dried fruits are good. You can
give them to the children instead of
candy.
2. Milk, Meat, Eggs, Cheese, Fish,
Peas, Beans and Nuts-They furnish
the protein" whose chief business is
to supply nitrogen in the right form
to build up the body. In the young
child new muscles, new bones and all
the other parts of the body are being
made. In the grown person these
parts are constantly wearing out and
must be replaced. Foods supplying
protein and ash are needed for this
purpose. For example, in choosing
from group two, if you have beans or
peas, and some milk, you can use them

can buy cornmeal for less per pound.
Your purse and your preference both
deserve consideration.
4. Sweets, Sugar and Sirups-Jel-
lies and preserves are fuel for the
body. too, but, in general, they are
more expensive than cereals. Use
them for flavor, but a little will go n
long way. If the children eat too
much sweets. they won't have an APP
petite for the foods they need most,
like bread and milk. Instead of
candy, you can give them fruits, which
contain enough sugar to satisfy them,
but which are not likely to spoil their
appetites.
.. Fats-Butter or other good fats,
c~ottonseed oil, lard, drippings, etc, are
another kind of fuel. People who do
hard work, especially outdoors, need
more fats than those who are not so
active. They are a relatively expen-
give form of fuel, and besides the ami
NAL fats are scarce now and needed for
our armies and our allies. so use them
sparingly.
These five kinds of food-fruits
and vegetables, meats or meat substi-
tutes, cereals, sweets and fats-are all
necessary for the proper nourishment
of he body. Remember that the cere-
nj group IS the one most of US depend
on for the bulk of our food. You need
the others, too, in proper quantity.
Don't forget the five food groups. See
TO 1t that you have some food from
each group every day.

Newspaper Notice for Mr.. Bam-
burgh's Talk.

Employees of the New England Tele-
phone Il Telegraph company will gather
| in the Bailey hall in Montpelier on Fri
day night, the 18th inst. TO hear talk
on Telling the Public" given by Will
liam G. Bamburgh of the publicity de
partment of the company. The talk will
be given with about 100 lantern slides
showing the telephone plant, and will il
lustrate the operation of the telephone
service and the many intricate parts OF
the central offices which are unknown to
the users of the service,
The employees who will be present will
comprise members of the plant, traffic,
commercial and accounting departments,
and they will hear in what manner the
company is telling the public about the
work of the great organization, which in
New England numbers over $4,000 men
and women.
There is no public service which needs
Interpretation to its users so much as the
telephone, in which almost all of the
plant, equipment and employees are out
of sight to the user. 1t is the intention
of the speaker to tell the employees in
what manner the public is being in
formed, through the medium of public
ltctuieS gwen III all tdfts ol view IsHS-
land
A wider knowledge of the manner of
making telephone connections and what
equipment there is between two persons
when talking, undoubtedly inspires users
with a kindlier feeling toward the EN-
ployes who are concerned IN making the
connections, and that knowledge also
helps to put the smile into the voices
of those who are speaking to friends or
business associates. 1t is believed that
many employees of the company are I'M
acquainted with the efforts to create
better and genuine understanding be
tween them and the public, and that such
as Mr. Bamburgh will give
them will be of value in both their daily
work and their relations to subscribers
and the general public, which, here in
Barre alone, uses the telephone about
1000 times every day.
The lecture will be given under the
auspices of the local employees and many
rom other nearby towns have been IN
1ited To participate in the meeting Mr..
Samburgh will be introduced By Manager.

,ected that some sort of entertainment
