RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Many Delaware parents have
probably been surprised about how
much their children know about
food. Learning food is combined
with regular classroom work and in
special food units.
A lesson about milk is emphasiz-
ed by visit to dairy. A child
who has watched the pasteuriza-
tion and mechanical bottling of
modern dairy plant understands
much better the necessity of clean
milk in the home.
Maps of Delaware and of the
United States are drawn and the
child finds out where different
foods are produced and how they
are packaged and shipped to pro-
vide his home with food. These
children will make better farmers
and better buyers of food in later
years for knowing these things
now.
LuuCucS CdA US ddOO as q
method of teaching the value of
good lunches. A standard good
lunch might be one which contains
a glass of milk or two foods made
with milk, a sandwich or some
other substantial foods and either
a fruit or vegetable. The Board of
Health has available lunch grad
ing cards, small red squares. There
are four in a set. A child who
brings or buys a satisfactory lunch
gets a card saying, You have an A
Lunch" The other cards say
your Lunch Needs Milk" Your
Lunch Needs a Substantial Food,
and Your Lunch Needs Fruit or
Vegetable" In the schools where
these cards have been used, the
children have enjoyed having their
lunches graded and have learned to
grade others.
Some ambitious teachers may
undertake animal feeding expert
ments to show the difference in
growth and appearance which re-
suits from difference in feeding.
White rats are usually tie animals
used for these experiments because
they respond to food easily AMI
make good pets for the children.
Such an experiment Is just being
finished at the Smyrna School. The
sixth grade fed three white rats z
well balanced diet milk, dark
bread and cereals. fruits, veget-
ables, and cod liver oil. The three
other rats did not fare SO well at
first. They received mostly white
bread, coffee and soft drinks.
At the end Of a few weeks the
difference in size, hair, and dispo
sition was easily seen. After the
children had observed this, the
smaller rats were given the good
diet too and now they are nearly as
large as their well fed brothers.
Children learn all these and many
more facts about food at school.
Parents may find that they need to
look up some information for them
selves if they are to keep up with
their well informed children.

Text: Romans SIS. The love of God
is shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
A bible citation from the lesson
sermon: Matt. 1921 %. Then came
Peter to him, and said, Lord, how
oft shall my brother sin against
me, and 1 forgive him? till seven
times? %. Jesus saith unto him,
1 say not unto thee, until seven
times: but, Until seventy times
seven. Correlative from the Text
book. Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy: Every trial of our
faith in God makes us stronger.
The more difficult seems the ma
terial condition to be overcome by
Spirit, the stronger should be our
faith and the purer our love. The
Apostle John says: There is no
fear in Love, but perfect Love
casteth out fear. He that feareth
is not made perfect in Love-" Here
is definite and inspired proclama-
ton of Christian Science.

CHICAGO GRAIN

den re-entry of British importers
into the Canadian wheat market
and crop damage reports as well
as below freezing temperatures in
the domestic southwestern belt
helped to lift prices here a full
cent today but much of this gain
was lost later.
The early advance carried May
wheat to $1.02 ga and July to
$1.00 IL. After midsession selling,
some of which was believed to
have been hedging against pur-
chases of loan wheat, caused a re-
action that pushed quotations as
much as IL cent below previous
closing levels at times. Final prices
however, were 1-8-1-2 higher than
yesterday, May $1.O1 >7-8-1.O2 and
