CHILD'S HEALTH MAINTAINED
BY WHOLESOME DIET.

Modern educators are leaning more
each year to the old Greek idea Of
rearing the citizens of the future.
They are working on the principle OF
"a sound mind In a sound body"
Good health is built primarily on
the foundation Of right food. The
sort Of food the child has determines
to a large extent the fitness Of the
man or woman.
Children have TO be taught to like
the foods mat are good for them much
In the same way that they have to 30
taught arithmetic and history. Boys
end girls are not born with any pa1~
ttoular desire Tor cereals or for bread.
It's up to their parents to see that
they learn the rudiments Of q bal
anoed diet and the reason for such a
nist Firmness and patience are
often necessary In the teaching, bot
the Job must be done.
Many mothers unconsciously put
their children under health handicaps
By allowing them to,use their own
