Children Need Quart of
Milk Every Day

Besides the protein which makes
milk such a valuable source of body
building material, it contains other
substances which make it most COM
plete food. Milk is rich in calcium
and phosphorus, which are essential
for building bones. teeth, and for reg
ulating body processes in general.
The iron in milk, though low in
amount, is readily available Vita
Minis A and B are abundant in milk
and Vitamins c and D are present in
smaller degree. Each child in the
family should have quart of clean,
wholesome milk every day.

large tank filled with water where fish
from far away and near are brought
to live.
All kinds of fishes that are rare are
brought there, for an aquarium in the
fish world is like zoo in the animal

Now the fairies thought that some
time very, very early in the morning
they would pay flying visit to the
fighting fishes before any of the aqua

These fishes had come from far

more they change cOlors.
