The five-months' baby is dis- satisfled because he has reached a stage when his system requires extra ingredients in his dietary, chiefly such minerals as iron an calcium which are not contained In sumclent quantities na mk diet alone, to ensure him badily vigour and steady development.

As a nation we do not make nearly enough use of vegetables and the Iden of introducing them to Baby's diet is not sufficiently practised. For a large part of the year, too, we have not the supply of young and tender vegetables whileli infants and young children re- quire.

Admittedly, it is not at easy matter for a busy mother to prepare and strain small quantities of vegetables far her baby, but there is no need for her to do so if she uses the canned variety.
