Of Planning The Child's Meals In Hot Weather
ET us remember that little are people with distinct likes and dislikes as to what they eat, especially in summer. No modern mother will doubt the wisdom of hav- Ing the child eat because he en- joys his food rather than". because he is coaxed and enjoled into taking proper noùr- ishment; nor will she doubt that many of the once dispised dishes can be so camouflaged as to be regarded as a treat:
L folks, too,
Milk and fruit must become the chief items in the child's diet, but they alone will not suffice: the mother must not lose sight of the fact that nourishing and tempting foods which are not too heating. do form important parts in the day's diet. Cheese can be pre- pared deliciously as a substitute- for meat. Cheese is a highly nutritious food-milk reduced to solid form. It contains a higher percentage of protein than meat, and as much if not more than eggs. Combine it then with other essential building-up foods like vegetables and nuts
i
Baked apples and baked bananas possess good food value, and the latter supplies starch in a more attractive manner than bread. Many children go off eggs in summer-time but they must be introduced in novel ways on account of their iron content. Fish must be made attractive for summer meals and mayonnaise can be served in a variety of guises. Cold boiled fish ar Bal- imon can be served with layers of
tomato and lettura or other green... leaves such as water-cress, cab- bage heart leaves, shredded brus- sels sprouts, and chopped celery.
Make your blanemanges with fresh fruit juices, the greater the variety in flavour and colour the better it will tempt jnded appetites. Eggs can be introduced into these without proclaiming themselves. The ideal drink for the increased summer thirst is barley water: it and refreshing healthy, is satisfying. A fresh lemon drink is also to be recommended.
Particularly study the tastes in.

Here's an exercise you can do with your companion when you can arrange to meet. Sit back to back on the floor, with hands clasped behind the head; and legs siretched out in front. Now imitate 3 see-saw-one pressen backward, the other resists the pressure but bends .forward, Then reverse. Don't do it too quickly, for the muscles benefit in resisting the pressure: it's" good for tummies and scats. And of course don't do your exercises in any but the lightest of tunics, or your bathing" costume will do very well.
Now put on the gramaphone and try some rhythmical high kicks. You'll enjoy it. Clasp each other firmly round the waist and klek as high as you can in lime to the music; or go' up in " degrees from a little kick to one as high as you can get. Then, try round kick: first kick the leg up in front, then, holding it at the same level, bring it round to the side and down.
