ADVENTURE OF

Nancy and Nick, my dears, were
Twins.
One night when the Twins were
asleep, fairy climbed up the vine
to their windowsill.
He did little dance and he did
a little prance and then he turned
scmersault. Then he blew out his
cheeks until they looked like apples
and whistied.
Nancy and Nick woke up like a

their eyes.
Did you hear something?" whis-
pered Nancy.
Eyes, did you?" asked Nick.
Then suddenly he began to laugh,
and Nancy, looking where he looked,
began to laugh, too. And they
laughed and laughed and laughed,
both of them. And if you had bcen
there, you'd have laughed too.

ON HEALTH-
BE CAREFUL OF SWEETS

Good, substantial food served
and yet the children sjust nibble at
it.
And it isn't the children alone,
Elders are in the same frame Of
appetite.
Inquiry results in discovery that
a feast of candy preceded the dinner
hour by a short time.
In how many families does this
situation arise!
Probably no food is more abused
than sweets.
Sweets have a definite value, but
when they are allowed to dull the
edge of appetite, or are eaten out
of all proper relation to other foods,
there is definite danger.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1924-06-09

Children are particularly apt to
satisfy hunger with sweets, though
their adolescent sisters are just as
likely to be incautious. The body
cannot grow properly unless foods
are eaten that supply all the bodily
needs. Sweets contain no minerals,
no vitamines, no protein--none Of
these elements >,so necessary for
growing children.
The best place for sweets is in
dessert foods served at the end of
a meal-in custards, fruit dishes
and in similar dishes.
Parents should do everything pos
sible to cultivate in children the
same desire for fruits that they have
for sweets. --
