That is also the period when wa find more suffering people from fatigue than at any other season. Both conditions are frequentto ly traceable faulty habits of eating and faulty hygiene during the holiday season. The person who is forewarned is usually forearmed. Therefore, every homemaker who has the Interests of her family at heart should plan, now, to arrange activities so that strain and fatigue will be reduced to a minimum. And more specifically, she should see to it that she formulates sound eating program.

Houston Goudiss Counsels Wise Eating During the dark days of December, the childrens diet requires extra thought and care. Too close confinement indoors and the lack of sunshine may easily have an adverse effect upon the temper and vitality of young Children. Then, too, the excitement of anticipating Christmas is bound to add to their general fatigue. Children sqkiom complain of fatigue, which makes it all the more necessary for mothers to be on guard against, or to look for, the first intimation that It may exist A child who Is tired is very apt to be Irritable. More than likely his appetite will be poor, and when he does eat, he may not bo able to eare properly for the food he takes. You may find, if you allow him to become overtired or feed him unaccustomed foods, that it will be a struggle to get him to bed, and even then he may not sleep soundly. And it is generally recognized that disturbed sleep, plus unwise eating, may have most unfortunate consequences. Mrs. S. M. B. Your letter was the first of a large number I received on the subject and I am therefore answering you, though' my reply is also directed to all the other who have Inquired concerning a recent announcement that cereals might be harmful to the teeth. , I have seen reports on this subject by two Investigators and I know that other Investigators are now endeavoring to check their, work. As soon as there la further progress to report, I shall be glad to comment. In the meantime, I would not hesitate to follow the advice of leading nutritionists and give your children cereals, at least half of which may well be served in the whole grain form. Tha Idea! Holiday Diet FR0T.1 GOLDS Holiday or no holiday, both children and adults should have at least two fruits daily, one of which should be a citrus fruit or tomatoes, to help provide adequate vitamin C; there should be two vegetables besides potatoes, one of which should be of the green, leafy variety; an egg daily, or at least three or four weekly; quart of milk for every child, and a pint for each adult If your meals are built on this foundation, there will be less room for the rich heavy foods which should only be taken in modera-ioand after yon have helped to satisfy the appetite with the protective foods.
