More important, however, thar
slicked pompadours and scrubbed
necks is the daily diet of these mil
lions of future citizens, who leave
I carefree vacation days to enter the
regular regime away from mothers
watchful eye. First and foremost
item on this daily dietary, agreed
upon by every dietitian in the land
is milk, for milk contains so many
of the elements of the healthful
diet-protein. fats, sugar. vitamines
minerals and water-and is espe-
cially valuable for building good
teeth and bone.
Every adult should have a pint OF
milk, but each child should have a
full quart daily. Since it is too much
to expect that Junior and Jane will
drink the daily milk without grumb-
ling, some tested and child-approved
suggestions will not be amiss.

make a perfectly balanced meal.

may be bought for as little as ten
cents, every mothers darling may
have a package in his lunch box or
one in his pocket after school. or
course the cookies and cakes made
with the wholesome dates are well
come too.

real soda fountain beverage"
which if properly made will add
even more nourishment. A table,
spoon of karo in the glass of milk
doubles the energy value and If a
little chocolate powder or syrup
and a dash of vanilla is added and
the whole shaken until foamy,
makes a delicious drink. The
shakes" are popular for any time
of day, especially the new banana
milk shake. Children love the nu-
tritious banana and will drink

milk. Simply mash ripe banana
with a silver fork or spoon, beat

fOurth-teaspoon vanilla and beat
until smooth and frothy.
