Milk contains every necessary ele-
ment needed by the young child for its
growth and we'll being, and for the busy
mother il eliminates the cooking between
meals. One quart of a good grade of
milk will equal IN food value
Eight eggs or
Three quarters pound lean beet,
Three pirtS of oysters,
Three pounds fresh Goldfish,
Three quarters pound Of pork or
Tuo thirds pound Of ham.
The fat-soluble A-or the living
vital element. found in milk is neces-
cary for physical we'll being and
growth. The lack of this element by
the absence of milk in the child's diet
is the real cause of many ills which
doctors declare are due to faulty diet.
water-soluble B-one Of the newly
discovered food elements. is present in
milk. Noted physicians declare this
element is necessary for nutrition and
growth, and for this reason one quart
of milk with a variety of other foods
is necessary to the young child. Teach
the baby to eat wcll cooked cereals; do
not sweeteu II possible; the less sugar
the young child eats. the better. his
digestion will be 1; teach baby to eat from
a spoon very slowly, and to drink by
slipping slowly from a cup or glass.

livery to the house and wash bottle
under running water, wipe and remove
the cap and turn glass down over the
top. Set milk in part of refrigator set
aside for milk. butter and egg. Placing
it close to strong favored foods will
spoil the milk. If you do not have ice
in the winter time. place the milk in a
pail and fill to within three inches Of
the top with cold water and set in cool
place where it will not freeze; milk
left to freeze is not the proper food for
baby. and is apt to disturb his digestion
When making cream SOUPS, cocoa
iunket, custards and puddiugs. cook
enough for two or three meals and then
cool, cover and set in refrigator or
cool place.

ing and scalding of all utensils, dishes
and spoons employed in preparing his
food. will save baby from many sick
spells have one or two SauCepaus for
cooking the Young chiId's meals and

use or permit any one to use them for
any other purpose. Those utensils are
porous aud it is easy for the utensil
