FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
Rules for Feeding the
fodder.

These are the days of carefully
studied dietary needs of all members
of the family. The toddler. or the one
who is called the pre-school child, de-
serves a special chapter all to himself.
His voice is tiny and not yet ready to
take part in the family chorus, but he
knows what he likes! In this connec-
ton 1t is interesting to reflect on the
fact that nutrition specialists impress
1t on even the 2-year-old youngster
that 1t Is ''up to him." so to speak, to
eat what is given him. In other
words, even 2 years Is none too
early to begin the training in self
control that is so necessary to after
life and health.
The most necessary food for the tod
dler is milk. Even through the second
year and up to school age. milk should
form the basis of the diet. The out
standing characteristic of the run
about diet is simplicity. Milk plus
well-cooked cereal, strained until the
baby is at least years of age, with
the addition of vegetable juice, strain
ed fruit and whole-grain bread will
make up the necessary dietary.
AS to whether or not our young
friend considers that such a ration
holds out in treats" that Is another
story. In fact, it depends largely on
the mothers skill In preparing the
food. Milk that is fresh and clean;
cereals that vary from time to time,
so that one day 1t is white and an
other bran; fruit served in different"
ways. but always we'll cooked and
sti1tined-these offer a few of the pos
sibilities for converting a necessarily
limited diet into one that blossoms
with occasional surprises.
AT this early age vegetables will
probably present the greatest prob
lem. 1t Is not too strong a statement
to say that, other things being equal,
this is at first largely matter of
psychology. If we begin by taking it
for granted that Tommy, the toddler,
likes vegetables, why then he usually
likes them. Quite seriously, education
along this line begins properly with
the mother. Let her sweep the dust
Of old-time ideas out of her brain. Let
her treat even the toddler as a rea-
sonable being and talk to him about
vegetables as being quite matter Of
cOurSely attractive.
Again. this is the golden period for
laying the foundations of a taste for
simple fiavorS. Even the badly must
be watched in forming the habit of
demanding over-flavored food. He will
bless you for 1t later, but all his life
he will entertain the liking for the
nutty flavor of plain bread, the in
describably fresh flavor of sweet but.
ter and 50 on
Finally, in thinking of treats for
the toddler, our minds naturally turn
to sweets What has been said of
training in selfcontrol applies espe-
cially to the question of sugar. Under
no circumstances Is the toddler to
have anything more than an occa-
sional and scant spoon of sugar. Can
dies and cakes. pastries and puddings
are all to be reserved for later years.
Tommy. the toddler, has but a 2.year-
old digestion to correspond with other
portions of. his 2-vear-old body. DO
not give him desserts or any other
food suitable only for the 4, or year.

A SERMONETTE.
By WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.
When Cost Must Be Considered.

1t. is comparatively simple to
map out first a plan as for in
expensive meals, developing this
as the income increases until
the meals are more varied. If
the plan has been made care
fully they need not necessarily
be more nourishing.
Take breakfast, for example.
In changing the fruit for the
less expensive meals we select
bananas or oranges or apples,
according to the season and To-
cal conditions. We are careful
to seek out the places where
h such fruits may be had at least
cost. as. for example, If we
live in a large city, at one of
the public markets or even
from the downtown fruit push
carts. The variation for a more
elaborate breakfast takes the
form chiefly OF selecting choicer
varieties of the same fruits.
Cereals chosen for the first
type of breakfast will be old
fashioned rolled oats or graham
mush or some other grain that
can be bought in bulk. Not
that we advocate buying in
bulk, but if every penny must
be counted we are faced with
the necessity of hunting up a
very cheap shop that will give
us this bulk cereal. When the
cereal possibilities expand with
the income we are, of course. in
position to add one or another
of the attractive package prud-
uctS on the market. In passing
it may be pointed out that not
until we are ready to spend a
fairly generous sum on our ta-
BILE should we indulge in the
especially prepared package
cereals.
The very inexpensive desserts
will take the form of rice or
tapioca puddings, while those of
the more elaborate meals may
blossom out into ices and occa-
sional pastries.
When the income is at low
ebb the vegetable problem is
one of the most difficult. We
must depend largely on dried
vegetables, except for such
fresh foods as can be purchased
at the type of market already
spoken of. Dried peas, beans
and lentils, carrots. beets and
cabbages are among the stand
bys.
Whatever else is omitted in
the plan for inexpensive meals.
let us remember that we can
not afford not to buy milk for
the children. Although the
first cost may seem too much.
the final returns in actual food
value will more than pay for
the initial expenditure.

canned vegetables will fill a very
definite need.
Except for a leisurely, sensible
morning breakfast, hot cakes. such
as waffies. pancakes and the like, are
better reserved for luncheon. They
are particularly appetizing for cold
days and in the weekly plan such
dishes are usually followed by n sim
pie fruit salad. This serves also as
dessert and prevents the overlooking

THE city council has done ev-
i erything they can do at the
present time to secure that addi-
tional mile or so of paving in the
city limits. 1t didn't require any
particular amount of courage or
keen-sighted business ability to
see such an obvious advantage to
the city. Nevertheless we want to
commend the present administra-
ton at this time for their action
on this and other matters of in
terest to the city. The present
mayor and his council have had to
cope with trying problems all
through their terms and at no
time has there been anything but
a whole-hearted desire to best
serve the city. Let's double their
pay!
