NOURISHING DIET
MEALS AT CHILDREN'S CAMP , While the children in the health camps ,organised by the- Community Sunshine League undoubtedly owe much to the regular ha bits, sunshine, exercise and fresh air, probably the chief secret of their marked physical improvement is the varied and scientifically balanced diet they enjoy. - . ■■ Jh v '• Every day in the week there is a" different menu. They may breakfast on porridge, followed by .stewed fruit or perhaps e gg s > with bread and jam, butter or honey. At the middle of the day there is always roast' meat with two vegetables, followed by milk pudding or stewed fruit. Tea may consist of bread and butter and lettuce, with scones, and dates or figs or stewed fruit. This scheme of balanced, nutritious diet is in use at all three oE the association's camps. ' All the food used is of the best quality, and ice is sent over frequently to ensure its perfect freshness. Fifteen gallons of milk are delivered every day for the camp at Motuibi. On Christmas Day the children were treated to a feast thoroughly worthy of the occasion, and every one of them received a present.
