WHAT to EAT and WHY

have a more generous allowance
of highly concentrated foods which
supply necessary fuel with min
imum tax on the digestive system.
They should have cereals in gen.
erous-siZe portions-and it's advis-
able to choose part of the cereals
from those retaining the bran and
the germ. And they'll welcome
nourishing desserts, such as Gus
tard, tapioca, bread and corn
starch buildings.
Girls Warned Against Reducing
Girls, on the other hand, may
become fussy and try to cut down
radically on the fuel foods, with
the foolish idea of keeping fash
iOnably thin. This must not be
permitted, because it may result
in under-nutritiOn, which opens the
way to fatigue and nervousness,
and may lead to serious disease.
In addition to wholesome, nour-
ishing food, teen age boys and
girls should have plenty of rest,
sunshine and healthful outdoor ex-
ercise. And they also deserve the
sympathy and deep understanding
of their parents.

The first postal establishment on
the North American continent was
located in Boston in 1641 in the tav-

given authority to charge one penny
for each letter delivered, Prof.
R. Del French of McGill university

of Montreal, says the Christian Sci
ence Monitor. In Canada, the first
record of postal service was during
the French regime when road was
opened between Quebec and Mon

A Quart of Milk Daily

It is highly desirable that the
diet should include a quart of milk
daily, because milk is such a
splendid source of calcium and
vitamin A, as well as other neces-
sary minerals and vitamins. If
children have been brought up
with a wholesome respect for this
master food, they will continue to
drink it during their teens.
However, if they complain about
taking it as a beverage, mothers
should see that it is supplied by
way of cream soups and sauces,
with cereals, and in nutritious pud-
ding desserts, which can be en-
riched with eggs, thus providing
additional proteins, minerals and
vitaminS.

Private dispatches by mail in Can

after the fall of Quebec into British
hands. This marked the final real
attempt to organize a postal service
on a regular basis, and Benjamin
Franklin was instrumental in devel-

and New York by way of the Cham

Need for Minerals and Vitamins

There must be ample amounts
of the various minerals-especial-
ly calcium and phosphorus for the
teeth and bones, and to help build
sound, healthy nerves; iodine for
proper functioning of the thyroid
gland; iron for building increased
quantities of rich red blood. Every
vitamin must be included in the
adolescent's diet to promote nor
NAL health and development, but
vitamin A is especially valuable
at this time of rapid growth, and
vitamin B is also required in lib
eral amounts to meet the extra de-
mands of increased activity and
growth.

er fresh fruits, as well as the
many varieties that come in cans.
Cooked and raw vegetables
should be provided liberally-if
possible, at both lunch and dinner.
Dressing cooked vegetables with
butter or margarine will increase
their fuel value, and make them
more satisfying for hungry boys.
Girls, who are often finicky eaters
during their adOlescent years, can
usually be tempted with crisp, raw
vegetables served in the form of
salads; and protein can be added
by means of eggs, cheese, fish or

Tiny Eel a Delicacy

In the waters off northeastern
Spain the Basque fishermen place
oil lamps along the quays to attract
the tiny, white, two-inch eel which
frequents this corner of the Bay of
Biscay. They are able to scoop them
up by the thousand. When fried in
oil this eel is considered delicacy.
