8. whenever it is possible. slip
fresh milk into Mary's food.
4. slip bits of disliked vege-
tables into dishes that Mary likes.
S. Gradually increase the amount
of this and that concealed food,
so that Mary will become accus-
toned to the taste of each.
The rule about the use OF sugar
Cut out candy from Mary,s diet.
Because craving for unnaturally
concentrated sweets was not Gull
tiyated, her taste became acute IN
discovering the natural sweet IN
foods like peas, carrots, parSnlpS'
or ripe, unsugared grapefruit.
Following rule No. 2, mother
sometimes, but not too oIten,
added a few raisins or dates to
the whole wheat bread that
Mary did not seem to like. JeH
or honey was never spread on
anything but whole flour Dreau:
Because of numerous ways OF
hiding milk in other food, the
quantity of milk that she was
able to drink was not great, yet
she took her quart daily. Mary
thought she liked no vegetables,
hut potatoes and tomatoes. Into
her potato or tomato soup was
slipped beet juice, or water IN
which some vegetable had been
boiled, or "a little squash. cauli-
flower, cabbage. spinach, or car
ret. The dressing for macaroni,
soups and gravies, were hiding
places of vegetable juices and
vegetables. The gradual increase,
demanded by rule No. 5, of this
and that concealed vegetable so
educated Mary'S taste that she
finally became am enthusiastic
vegetable eater.
