N1HE mother desires to feed her chill
i dreu for their physical being
today so that they may reach their ma
turity 100 per cent efficient in health.
To furnish suitable and nutritious
food at the present high prices is by
no means au easy problem for the
mother of moderate means. Now, IN
order to obtain the maximum amount
of nutrimcut. tho mother must plan 4
diet of at least week for real work
irg basis.
This means that YOU should plan the
meals entirely scparRt" aud apart from
the rest of tho family. This includes
the children from nine mouthS 10 tit
teen years Of age. Wholesome. plain,
well cooked foods should be the por-
tion of every child. II should be given
IN sufficient amounts TO replace the en-
ergy that has been expended and to
build up Il reserve as we'll uS furnish
the material for growth of body struc-
turc.
Foods that are not suitable for chill
dreu or that are injurious or difficult
to digest arc StimulantS, such as tea
and coffee, aud Seasonings, such Us vino
gar, cutsups, spices, pepper. mustard.
borseradish, pickles, etc. fried foods,
pastries. veal. pork. sausage. kidneys.
cornbeef. dried or canned meats,
greasy or ovcrrich stews or gravieS
Well cooked cereals. well cooked maca
roni, good home made wholewheat bread.

plenty of green vegetables. fresh and
dried fruits. simple custardS and mud
tlings--all these will furnish au abun
dapt diet for the growing ycuDgstcr.
Candy has no place 10 the Guild =,
diet. An excessive amount OF sugar
causes an irritation of the delicate liu
ing of the stomach aud thus sets up 4
fermentation and causes intestinal dis
orders. Candy and large amounts Of
sugar spoil the appetite for the plain,
well cooked and Wholesome foods aud
prevent the child from eating sufficient
food, because the swCetmeatS Themselves
give the child u feeling Of having bad
enough TO cat.
Children who arc permitted to have
large amounts of candy and sugar are
frequently subject to many of the child
ish diseases; this is due to the fact that
eating literally Of sweets lowers the Vi
tality of the body.
The child's craving for sweets may be
satisfied By reasonable portion of fig
dates. seeded raisins. apples. orange.
plenty of good creamery butter. Al
