sible to retain such foods in the diet
that are agreeable to the child and
simply substituting others for those
that should not be taken. If the child
takes no milk or cereals it is practi-
cally impossible to keep the "a
amount of food high enough for con-
tinued gain.
How can you get a child to take
more than he wants? How may he
be persuaded to eat food that he dis
likes? The answers to these ques-
items are to find out the cases of mis-
small appetite, in measured feeding
and why he is prejudiced. Often the
small appetite is the result of over
fatigue, irregular eating or too many
sweets. A child may rather play or
is worried and unhappy.
With malnourished children we
; find more instances of inadequate
breakfasts than of other meals. Some
times it is tea or coffee habit, some
times it is sleeping in poorly venti-
lated rooms.

The neglect of pOrper supervision
in the feeding of older children is
responsible for many serious diseases
of early life and especially for many
disturbances of the nervous system
that are the most difficult to remedy.
The feeding of infants has become
an art, made possible by percentage
feeding of milk and other foods. In
case of older children this does not
occur. Medicine may be prescribed
but not food and give the child nour-
ishing food disposes of the whole
question.
The food habits of all children are
fairly constant, either children take
enough. too little, or too much during
each "a hours. His habits become
so established that the amount of
food taken will vary only a trifle
and so an account CT rood taken for

daily food habits. Underweight chill
, dren invariably take too little food
The interest in food during the war
created by the need for conservation
resulted in publication of much good
material on food values. A growing
hoy or girl, according to body weight
needs more than an adult of equal
weight. In fact a growing boy OF !
needs a quarter again us much food
as an adult, while boys who are &C

more. The amount of food is meas
