The red meats, eggs, spinach and all kinds of greens are important articles of diet at this time, because of the iron which they contain. They should be supplied freely, particularly for developing girls, or they may otherwise be inclined to anaemia, at this time. Butter and milk are valuable and _regular exercises with deep breathing are imperative_. BREAKFAST. Fruit. Oatmeal or some other cereal, well cooked, with cream and sugar. One egg, boiled, poached or baked (cooked soft), or chipped beef in cream gravy. Cereal coffee, toast coffee or hot water with cream and sugar. Buttered toast, shredded wheat biscuit or triscuit. LUNCH Cream soup, bean soup, or pureé with crackers or dry toast. Bread and butter. Fruit and cake, or rice pudding, or bread, tapioca, cocoanut or cereal pudding of any kind, or a cup of custard. DINNER An ample portion of meat, (preferably red meat). Potatoes. Vegetables, preferably spinach, or greens of some kinds, or beets boiled with the tops. Graham bread. Fruit with triscuit, graham bread toasted or graham wafers. Candy. (small quantity) A growing child is usually hungry upon returning from school, and it is well to take a little easily digested food regularly but not sufficient to destroy the appetite for the evening meal. An egg lemonade is easily digested and satisfying. If active and exercising freely, craving for sweets should be gratified, to a limited extent. * * * * * [Sidenote: The Athlete] The young man, active in athletics, needs the same food as given for the adolescent, yet more in quantity. He needs to drink water before his training and at rest periods during the game. If he is too fat, he should train off the superfluous amount by exercise and by judiciously abstaining from much sugars, starches and fats. Diets for reductions must be governed by the condition of the kidneys and the digestive organs. Deep breathing habits are imperative and he must be careful not to overtax lungs or heart. * * * * * [Sidenote: The Laboring Man] The man engaged in muscular work requires plenty of food; he can digest foods which the professional or business man, or the man of sedentary habits, cannot. He will probably be able to drink coffee and tea without any disturbance to nerves or to digestion. In his muscular work he liberates the waste freely and needs fats, starches and sugars to supply the heat and energy. This is especially true of men who work in the fresh air; the muscular action liberates waste and heat and the full breathing freely oxidizes the waste, putting it in condition to be excreted through lungs, skin, kidneys and intestines. He should have more meat, eggs and nitrogenous foods, and he also needs more carbonaceous foods to supply heat and energy. Three hearty meals a day are necessary.
