Making n Dietary.
Now am ready to construct my dietary.
first make out a list Of the provisions I
have purchased during a week. This is
only a beginning, understand, and dietary
calculated thus will be only rough esti-
| mate on which to base first saving. To
practice perfect economy of health and
money would require the establishment of
| dietary for each individual and each meal
| a much too complicated matter for the be-
ginner to even think about without the
| risk Of brain fag or complete nervous pros
tration.
Back to our muttony then: I make out
list of the provisions have purchased dur
| ing week. In my position as careful
| housewife know pretty nearly the amount
of waste there has been, and so am able
with fair degree Of exactneSs to reckon
the amount that has been consumed. Then
| 1 take one Of the tables prepared by Prof.
| Atwater showing the composition of differ
ent food materials, and by simple arith-
metical process I am able to discover how
| much and wherein + am eXtravagant. I
| figure out that my diet as whole is eX-
| cessive certain number of calorics L am
eating too intoxicating at the expense of
other needs to which part of what spend
for food might intelligently be directed.

pacity for enjoyment and labor. The physi-
cal ability have is ali approximately fixed

taxed to digest and otherwise dispose OF an
excessive amount of food to the extent Of
this excess, am limiting the possibilities of

eating Is taking into account in reckoning
even the attachments Of the spirit accord
| ing to the ancient Vedas and the law is
laid down that the man who eats too much
so sacrifices his whole range of possibilities
that he loses forever the power Of seeing
God.
But that's another story"
Where the Extravngance Lies.
Having determined in the gross that any
food supply is extravagant, by further con-
sulting Prof. Atwater's reports am en-
abled to determine why and wherein 1T is
so. He prescribes the amount OF protein
J carbohydrates and fats relative to one
J another and relative to sex and Occupation
, that I should properly consume in a day
Working out these factors in my diet, I fine

listing womnn,s influence,


In utilizing the science of nutrition to the
end of practical economy in the household,
women are bound to encounter a defect of
Uncle Sans domestic economy, which l
am persuaded the household division Of
the government with a woman chief would
tend to correct. If the chemists reports
on foods and food adulterants were trans
mitted to the public in q way to direct the
information these reports contain to the
notice of women, in the ordinary course Of
human intelligence operating in the office
of wife and mother concerned about the
health and well being Of her household
there would result a pure food sentiment
in our homes which is the only hope Of
pure food legislation in our government
Adulterated foods, to be sure, are not
necessarily unhealthy foods, but this is
clear: Adulterated foods are unknown
quantities with which it is impossible to
deal intelligently in ordering a diet. either
hygienic or economic. If we do not know
what we are eating, plainly. we cannot de-
termine either the true nutritive value or
| the true pecuniary value of our foods-a
| fact which has no expression whatever In
any existing food laws. Uncle Sam has abb
solutely no regard for the American stom.
