The home economists of the Con- sumer Section, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture combined two of these good dairy foods with strawberries in their recipe . e di ,. �t.' .rn...r�:<r��:;1:.:8:...:...:..!;44:zar�.:.;:•r:::;;7:�:: �.:z;r;-%Ss;r<:.::;i�er ;:•,'',vim:-. y' V-.. •, ti. :' .e. ,.<0;MAys (d.; :� s.9..: !:'!Y /��.;:/:.'n r r/:rr;;�: F:,,/::i ;, •:;<rr 2�i•y ,.l,,;n,., . 113 SCHNEIDERS PEAR SHAPED CANNED HAMS $1.49 EA.

He is a great imitator and is easily encouraged to eat and act the way his parents do at mealtime. Home economists at Mac- donald Institute, Guelph, say to introduce new foods gradual- ly to the young child. Offer them in small quantities at the early part of the meal while he is still hungry, if he rejects them don't force, but have another trial a few days later. Don't encourage a 3 or 4 - year -old child to drink more than three cups of milk a day or he may lose his appetite for other foods. If he eats well of the other foods at his meal, this amount of milk will be suf- ficient. You may use some of this in cream soups and cus- tards. Give whole fruits and vegetables, both cooked and raw, and cut meat in small pieces rather than ground, to encourage chewing. At this age a child often will eat such foods as raw carrots and lettuce with his fingers but refuse them if he has to use a spoon. A mid-morning or mid- afternoon snack, such as fruit juice, milk or crackers, is a good idea for this age group, provided it does not interfere with mealtime appetite. Remember! Eating habits usually improve with age, rather than with scoldings. NEW "PACKAWAY" Girls with limited closet space will be delighted to learn of a new pleated skirt called the "packaway" by Highland Queen. It has stitch- ed down accordion pleats that collapse into a slender, pack- able stack. The skirt can be hand washed without losing its sharp pleats. Cut in one piece, with an open-end zipper down the front, the waist is shaped by a self -fabric tie threaded through the waistband. An ideal skirt too for girls -on - the -move!
