S houid The Children Eat It? J k. PARENTS, particularly mothers, are paying a lot of attention to children’s diet these days. For it is far more economical and pleasant to keep a child well by feeding him correctly than by nursing and doctoring him back to health. Os course the doctor should be consulted regarding what a child should eat and what he should not eat Rut do you realize that the .eading manufacturers or lood now seek the advice and approval of the lead.ng nutritional authorities in the country, relative to the claims they make for their products in their advertising? In other words, food, advertisements are reliable sources of infoi mation regarding diet. They are based upon the results of the latest approved scientific discoveries about vitamins, minerals and roughage, in relation to vigorous bodies, clear complexions, sound teeth and properly regulated ' systems. So read these advertisements carefu'ly. Consult your doctor about them. Very often the advertiser invites you to do this because he has asked authorities, whenx your doctor respects, about those advertisements first. Decatur Daily Democrat
