THE DOCTOR ANSWERS—

QUESTION: Is the marriage of first cousins likely to result in defective children? ANSWER: The marriage of closely related persons, including first cousins, may result in the development of superior children, if such characteristics are present in the family tree, or of defective children, if such characteristics are dominant.

Normal Child Seldom Craves Sweets

"PROPER food selection: should be faught children at an early age to make them aware of its necessity, and its Tatiosip to good health, - Until they reach the oq of 10 or 12, children have little oppor-

the desirability of their learning to do’ so. The school lunch program has been an important element in directing the attention of parents and children to the importance of proper food selec-

Children... should acquire early in life a willingness to accept pasteurized milk, the ordinary

whole-grained cereals and breads, eggs and simple desserts. Ohildren who are sweet-lovers usually eat an inadequate diet, for normal children seldom crave sweets. 2 ” " » THE SCHOOL day should start with a good breakfast consisting of pasteurized milk, tomato juice or a citrus fruit, an egg, and a whole-grain cereal or toast. Coffee has no place in the diet of children, for it tends to displace milk. The school lunch should include pasteurized milk and a main dish of protein food, such as beans, eggs, macaroni or spaghetti made with cheese or meat. A thick meat soup is also a good main am, and it, may contain some vegeiables. Whole-grain bread should be used for at least one sandwich if the lunch is carried, and the sandwich filler should be gg, cheese, meat, fowl or peanut nutter. Jelly and jam sandwiches, or those made of spreads of little nutritive value, are not recommended [os children. The noon-day lunch, whether carried or eaten at school, should contain vegetables and fruits. Ice cream and fruit, not cake or cookies, are the best all-around desserts for powing children.
