Additional information on the same subject has also been published by the Borden Company in the following set of booklets, which are intended to give mothers, and others who may be interested, complete working material in dealing with the problems of child nutrition.

“Keeping Your Child Fit”—a booklet explaining in simple, non-technical language the dangers of malnutrition, what it is, how to recognize it and the means of overcoming it.

“Menus for Little People”—a booklet showing how to plan balanced menus for children between the ages of two and six, and giving a sample menu for every day of the week.

“The Adolescent Girl—Her Book”—a booklet for the girl between eleven and fifteen years of age, which encourages her to observe good health and food habits during this period.

“Milkarpie Magic”—a collection of children’s stories originated to stimulate child interest in the drinking of milk.

Health Records, to be used by the child and to encourage good health and food habits.

Height and weight charts which give correct weight for children in relation to height and age.

All this literature is available to mothers and also to any teachers and health workers who write for it.

Through the courtesy of thirty well known commercial companies, educational material on the health subjects mentioned in the present booklet, will be sent to teachers and health workers who request such literature from the respective companies.

It is with pleasure that the Borden Company places this additional helpful material in the hands of those who are directly interested in promoting better child health in this country.
