Some people tell us a great deal
about what children ought not to eat.
but forget to tell US what they ough.
to have. The kinds of food that chill
dren need TO make them grow into
healthy men and women are being
studied by home economics experts In
the United States department of agri-
culture
The most important Of these foods Is
milk. IL supplies something for max
ing muscles: something for making
bones and teeth: and something that
| makes children grow. No child will
grow as fast as he should or as well
without milk. He may get fat. but
fairness Is not the same as strength.
Unless he has milk. some part OF him
will almost surely be weak.
Every little child should have mt
least three glasses of whole milk every
day, and IL possible. four. IL he has
this amount of milk. and particularly
IL he can be given one egg yolk a day.
he does not need meat. Some mothers
worry because they cannot afford 20
buy meat. fish. chicken or other flesh
foods for their children. but this IS
lquite Unnecessary II they are able to
get milk. and milk Is almost always
cheaper than these other foods.
HOW TO SERVE EGGS.
| Someone will probably ask how the
lyolk of an egg should be served to a
Ichild. One good way Is to add il to
milk gravy. Another way is to cook II
hard. salt and mash 1t and spread it on
bread. The mother may just as well
l H.. 1T u.
for buildings. 1t is the yolk that the
child needs most. All of the iron OF
the egg is in the yolk. There is some.
thing in the yolk. too. as there is in
the milk. that makes children gr W.
Every mother wants her children to
have straight. strong legs. Both milk
and eggs help to make the bones
strong. Children who do not get thes,
foods are almost sure to have a dis
ease called ricketts," Their bones, be
ing weak, bend under them and ge
much out of shape.
Milk gets dirty easily and 1t is har,
to make it clean after it has becom,
dirty. 1t is different from such food
as apples and oranges, from which tn
dirt can be wiped. If milk is left un
covered and dust or other kinds of dir
, fall on it, or If it is put into a dirt,
: dish the dirt sinks to the bottom an
it is impossible to get 1t out. Dirt
, milk is almost sure to make childre
sick, and so the greatest pains shout
be taken to keep it clean. The bar
where the COW is kept should be clean
! so. too, should the pals and the milk
ers hands. After the milk comes int
g the house it should be kept CAREFUL
3 covered in a cool place.
q USE OF CLEAN SKIM MILK.
Whole milk is far better for childre
than skim milk. but clean skim milk
z better than dirty whole milk. If tn
/ mother cannot get clean whole mil
G she had better use clean skim milk an
j. give the child little extra butter I
n make up for the fat that was taken o
:. when the milk was SKINNED.

comes from the green food that ever
