MENUS.
From Mrs. F. W. B., Ariington.)
In answer to your request about
building up your little girl, here are
my suggestions for what they're
worth.
First, and most important, take
her to your pediatrician. No normal
I3-year-old should be so little inter-
ested in food.
Make her meals interesting and
pretty. Have different sets OF dishes
for each meal. The dime store
offers worlds OF novelty plastic
dishes, cups, etc. Mold her jello and
fruit together in an interesting mold
Cream her vegetables and garnish
them with little pieces Of parsley
Bake her potato, then mash 1t with
butter and milk and put it back in
the POTATO shell. AS for recipes and
menus, consult Better Homes and
Gardens Baby Book; they have in
cluded lots.
II it would help your little girl for
you to eat with her you certainly
should be able to while keeping to
your diet also. A 3-yesr-old's diet
and q reducing diet always sound
about the same to me. No fried food
no spices; just 60 easy on the cream
sauce for yourself and skim your
milk
hope that this will help some
Please let us hear how your little
girl comes along.
What would evening be without
The Star and the Readers Clearing
House? Three cheers, and long may
it continue to be boon to the
housewife!
From Mrs. B. S. c.. BrenttDood.)
If you will write the United States
Department of Labor, Washington,
without doubt you can get books
with lot of valuable material in
them regarding care and food for
your 3-year-old daughter. I have
one here, "I'he Child From One to
Six, His Care and Training" and it
gives the food you should give to
a child that age.
Think you have very sensible
little girl, as she will lose nothing
by rejecting cookies, ice cream, etc,
as child is healthier without many
sweets unless as is given in the nat
ural way, as in fruit juices, fruits
and pudding or custards. had a
friend who did not give her child
any candy until he was or there
about and he was surely a specimen
of health. You can obtain a good
recipe book from the H. J. Heinz
Co., Pittsburgh, Pa, which also has
menus in it. Write to the Wash
ington Sanitarium and Hospital,
rakoma Park, D. c.. for recipes COM
piled by Myra M Cornor. This book
has a lot OF good recipes for salads
and meals without meat. For Bet
ter Meals for Less" write Review
and Herald Publishing Association,
Takoma Park, Washington, D. c.
This has good salad recipes and
others and without doubt you will
find some very satisfying, and ones
that will not make you put on
weight.
