What Do Your Children Eat?
RS. A: Yes, I learnt a lot through experience and gave the younger children food that suited them much better. The weary refrain "Eat up your vegetables before . . . " was dropped when I found that they would eat raw vegetables, such as chopped cabbage, grated carrot, mustard and cress, which we can get even in the winter. 7
Mr. A: And do you remember the improvement when you increased their milk ration to one quart each? Mrs. A: And do I remember the fuss’ over the size of the milk bill? : Mr. A: Yes, I admit that at first it’ did stagger me. Still I didn’t grumble, once I was convinced. Mrs. A: No-you gidn’t. And
it was hard to cut down other bills, such as cakes, meat and smokes, so that we could get more milk. Still, it was worth it.
