CHILDREN'S
APPETITES
ARE TICKLE
often Due to Tasteless or
Uninviting Diet

Mothers are. often confronted
by the problem Of getting their
children to eat what is good for
them. When they notice that this
objection to wholesome foods results
in underweight and lowered vi
tality, they are naturally much dis
turbed.
The lack Of taste-appeal Of the
food served is often the cause Of
poor appetiteS. The cereal may be
tasteless; the fruit juice or stewed
fruit too sharp; the vegetables un-
inviting in favor.
BY adding q dash Of sugar to
these foods, they will be much i'm
proved in flavor. Doctors and
dietitians approve this use of sugar,
because it makes those foods which
are rich in vitamins, minerals and
roughage more enjoyable to the
child.
A dash Of sugar to q pinch Of salt
is q popular way to season string
beans, spinach, carrots, cabbage,
peas and other vegetables as they
cook. And raw vegetables used in
salads are much more palatable
when served with a French dressing
in which such a combination of
sugar and salt is used. Most foods
are more delicious and nourishing
with sugar. The Sugar Institute.

VALUEOF SOUP
SHOWN BY
MEDIC

While certain soups are par
ticularly valuable in the treat
ment of the sick and of invalidS,
we are more concerned with the
place of soup as a nourishing and
economical article in the average
home diet. Not only for the
nourishment that they supply IN
so pleasant and readily available
a form, but for their equally Inn
portant function Of stimulating
appetite and assisting digestion
do dieticianS rank soups highly.
So eminent scientist as Lienig
has said: Meat extract can
not make us strong, but it makes
us aware Of our strength" In
their standard work, Nutrition
and Clinical Dietetics." Drs.
Carter, Howe and Mason give
credit to soup for putting "a
tired diner into a state of mind
and body to utilize the thousand
or more (calories) which follow
it,"
In DIR. william e. Fitch's Diet
otherapy" it says. THE recent
experiments of Pavlov have shown
that they tsoups) are the most
forceful excitants of gastric secre-
ton that we possess. They are
thus eminently calculated to rouse
appetite and aid digestion Of any
food with which they may be
taken"

it lightly with the spaghetti.
