In order that the child may become inter- ( es|ed, it may be wise to tell them in the form of a fairy srory.. "The stomach is a large house where all the food, we , eat goes. There we find five little fairies,- Fairy Sugar, Fairy Starch. Fairy Fat and Fairy Protein, .and Fairy Mineral.

If we add to this Bread we have an al most perfectly balanced ration. Butter-} milk, as a beverage, is preferred to sweet, milk because of its medicinal ! qualities. Children up to 10 years of age should have a quart of milk a day. If possible, a pint without fail. It is the only food we have which builds ami repairs the hone* and forms healthy teeth.
