Lunch is often one of the most neglected meals of the day because the whole family is not at home to eat it. Then, too, many homemak ers feel they just don’t want to both er fixing something palatable and attractive. But, let’s look at it this way. Lunch, according to nutritionists, should contain at least one-third to one-half the day’s calories, and the proper balance of proteins, carbo hydrates, vita mins and miner als. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend a lot of time prepar ing this noon-day snack, because, chances are, there are plenty of things in the refrigerator, ready to be made into satisfying, nourishing lunches. Now that food rationing has eased, it might be a good idea to invite friends in for a quick lunch; or, bet ter still, have a plan whereby you invite four to six people over for noon-time, and then have everyone take turns having each other to luncheon. It’s a neighborly way, and you will be sure to get into bet ter luncheon habits this way. Here is a colorful salad plate that makes a quick and easy lunch. It looks pretty, too, on gay, informal plates. Stuffed Tomato Salad Plate.

Storm* Toddlers and young children still need careful selection of the food l.liey eat. During infancy their food is supervised by the doctor but by the time the baby is given his meals at the family table, we are apt to forget he is still a baby and that much of the family food is not suitable. He is growing rap idly and needs the foods which will supply his requirements. There seems to be an irresistible urge to give a baby bites or tastes from the family meaL 'We enjoy the surprise he shows when he first tastes something different. Father may want to think his boy is al most a big boy and can have steak and pie. It may be offered to him as a reward for drinking his milk or eating his egg or carrots. You reward him with something which is not suitable, which he doesn’t need or want and thus make the undesirable food something special and more to be desired than his 1 regular food. We have the same I attitude about giving candy to a child, offering it as something ' more choice and to be coveted, su ! perior to his regular food. # | The canned chopped foods for ; toddlers will solve the problem of j what your young child can have for his meal when the family food is fried or highly seasoned or the dessert is pastry or a rich pud ding. If children are adequately nour ished and have plenty of fruits and simple custards, gelatine and other desserts they will not crave sweets. Care and thought are worthwhile all during the growing years, in order to insure healthy children with good, sound teeth. __\ BOWELS SLUGGISH? • Feeling like you lost your best friend - headachy—dull—all because of sluggish bow els?
