Cook for 20 minutes; use as directed for oatmeal.

Beef Juice.

(See page 145.)

Beef juice is sometimes ordered for delicate babies. For a child 9 months old, 1 or 2 tablespoonfuls may be given once a day.

Albuminized Food.

When milk cannot be taken, albuminized food proves an excellent substitute.

Shake the white of 1 egg with 1/2 a pint of water (filtered or boiled and cooled) in a glass jar until they are thoroughly mixed. Add a few grains of salt.

Children do not require a great variety in their food. Give one article of diet at a time and see how it agrees before trying another.
