ingle food.
For example, rice is almost entirely carbohydrate, and butter is almost
pure fat. Occasionally, we find a food that contains all the five groups
of food principles. Milk is an example of such a food, containing all
five food principles in such proportions as to supply all the
nourishment which a baby needs during the early months of its life. As
the child grows older, foods rich in both carbohydrates must be added to
the diet. Wheat contains all that the body needs for nourishment except
water, which is easily added in cooking.

_Choice of food._--The diet must be carefully chosen, to give a needed
variety and to combine the foods properly so that one may have a right
proportion of all the food-stuffs. Each meal should contain some protein

five forms of food-stuffs should have a place in the day's diet. The
greater part of the water which the body needs should be taken between
meals.

METHOD OF WORK

Review the foods discussed in the previous lessons and sum up the
classification of foods, being sure that the pupils can name common
examples of each. Discuss simple combinations for the different meals,
using dishes already prepared in the course and creating an inter
