Every fall the lunch box problem returns to plague US. When you
think how the children eat when they're home, it just doesn't seem pos
sible to cram one-third Of their days nourishment into so little space!
The trick is, of course, to include extra energy-builders-by enrich-
ing foods they like and want anyway, by adding foods that are concen-
tated nourishment in themselves. Chocolate in the milk not only tempts
Juniors appetite, IT also increases the nutrtiye value Of the milk,
Rovril in his lunch box fuflEs exactly the same function-increased
nutrition without increased bulk. For this British beef extract con-
tains meat vitamins as well as l6 of the Is soluble meatproteins so
necessary for energy. 1t is particularly valuable for small children
stnce it also stimulates appetite.
How to use it in the lunch box?I you are giving the child hot tomato
soup, stir in a teaspoon of Bovril before you pour it into the thermos.
Use " teaspoon to favor a stuffed egg. Mix it halfand-haff with but
