stances, according to the child health
specialist, must include milk ant
should include codliver oil. At the
very least, pint of milk a day, pre-
ferably a pint and half to a quart
If the child is less than 2 years old,
he needs 2 teaspoonsful of codliver
oil each day Che ought to have AZ to
make sure he is protected against
ricketts,. He needs other foods, too

vegetable OF fruit every day g or
if possible are advisable) with plenty
of bread and cereals. Next best to
milk, eggs are one of the foods all
children should have. Meat at least
twice a week adds to the food value
of a child's diet. Almost as i'm
portant to the child as milk and cod
liver oil is sunshine-out-of-door sun
shine. In summer, many children can
get sunshine who cannot get the best
food. Sunshine does not take the
place of milk, or other ordinary food,
but it does help the child to grow ana
develop good bones.
Except that the form is usually
different for the very young chlld' the
same kinds of food may we'll be pro-
vided for the whole family. This IS
one way to relieve the busy mother

and the six-year-old will not have the
big appetite that usually character

and all of them should have milk and
vegetables and fruits, eggs as often as
income allows, and cereals, meats
fish. Cottage cheese and the cream
cheeses are good, and liver is one OF
the hest of meats for children. Fortu-
nately. too, the cheap kinds OF liver
are practically as nutritious as tne
expensive kinds, and when suitably
cooked are quite as attractive.
The following recipes may be used
for the whole family and are also good
for the children.
Shoestring Carrots in Milk
Wash and scrape young carrots, cut
in slices lengthwise, and then into
narrow strips. If the carrots are large
ones, cut the strips in half. Heat
milk to boiling and add the carrots

minutes or until tender. Add butter
or other fat and serve with the milk
as sauce. Thickening may be added,
if desired.
