BY IDA JEAN KAN

IT is up to the homemaker
to plan menus that will maintain
even improve-the health of
her family. And the more
budget-minded she is, the more
carefully she plans, for it's
thrifty to be healthy!
If you are really trying to
give your family meals that are
low in cost but high in the pro-
tective foods, you will always
keep in mind this list: Milk.
eggs, dark breads and cereals,
vegetables and fruits.
Milk Is Tops
Milk makes such a generous
contribution to nutritional needs
that it is actually one of the
cheapest foods on the market. y
supply the essentials for normal
growth and health. the family
dietary should include daily: One
quart of milk for each child
throughout the second year; one
and one-half pints for each
child over that age; and one
pint for each adult.
To cut down the milk bill,
evaporated milk may be used
for part of the daily ration. 1t
has the same food value as fresh
milk and is much less expensive.
The daily menus should contain
potatoes and one or more other
vegetables. In the low-cost
menus. vegetables should not be
allowed to average more than
5 cents per pound.
If the fresh vegetables are too
expensive canned vegetables may
be substituted.
