Menu founded upon this "food hand" wil not go far wrong when it comes to fulfilling the requirements of a child for proper growth and•mai>atenance. "An egg a - day" should be the - sic gan for all young people. The egg - yolk contains about thirty-five per cent fat, which in turn contains growth -producing substances, called "vitamins." Foods containing these vitamines are absolutely essential for growing children. Eggs, milk and leafy vegetables are sometimes known as protective food.,. -because they correct and make up for the inadequate composition of seeds and tubers. Young animals fed on wheat, oats, barley, or other seeds exclusively fail to grow, because these foods do not contain growth-mine- -ing elements., - The price of eggs should not pre- vent their frequent use in many forms. If the child does not care for poached or boiled eggs and refuses to eat them, they may be served in omelets, custards, 'souffles, puddings and drinks. The taste of the egg wil be disguised without losing its nour- ishing and beneficial properties. d rattle. Use -soap on doors that stick. el Peg loose window frames.
