Why Iron Is Important in the Dict

Iron is essential for the formation of guod red blood. Everybody needs iron in the diet to help form fresh blood to replace that which is constantly being used up or destroyed.

Is Your Child. Getting Enough Iron ? Possibly. But it is an element often low. If your child is pale and lacking in vitality, this may be the cause.

Sunshino in Bosco and Milk Sunshine Vitamin D, you probably know, is important because the rickets-preventing rays of the sun so often are not available. Children's dicts must therefore bo reinforced with Vitamin D in order that their bones and teeth may develop straight and strong. Few natural foods supply this element. Bosco increases the Vitamin D content of milks and adds Vitamin D where that element is lacking.

How Much Vitamin D Dacs Bosco Furnish? Bosco contains 100 USP units of natural Vitamin D per ounce. Its addition to mille in the proportion of one teaspoonful to a glass results in a Vitamin D content of 170 units per quart, a unitage somewhat higher than that of irradiatei! Vitamin D milk.

Units of Energy in Bosco

Every teaspoonful of Bosco added to a glass of milk increases its fuel value by about 30 calories. This is enough energy to replace that consumed by a 10-year- old boy in half an hour of average activity or by an average man in walking about half a mile,

The Form of Energy in Bosco

The energy units in Bosco are chiefly In the form of sugar, which are casily and readily assimilated by the body because they are already in a partially digested state. The reputation of dextrose for quick- energy pickup is equally earned by Bosco.

Try Hot Bosco and Milk at Bedtime

The soothing effect of this mellow, chocolatey flavored bevernge is due to the fact that it draws more blood toward the digestive organs and away from the over- active nerve centers. Restless, jangled nerves at bed- time often mean irritability and fatigue next day..
