THE FOOD PROBLEM
PROPER NUrRIMENT FIRST or
ALL CONSIDERATIONS.
n Has Well Been Said That the
Health and Morals Of People De-
pend Upon Their sustenance
diet for lnvallds.

Certainly In this age when so much
thought and time is given to the feed
ing OF live stock and so much atten-
ton is given to the right nutriment
FOR plants we should be able to lay
down the principles which govern the
Diet OF human beings.
Mrs. Helen Richards tells us that
the health and morals OF people de-
pend mainly npon the food they eat
and the homes they live in. Strong
men and women cannot be raised on
insufficient food; good tempered. tenn.
perate, highly moral men cannot be
expected from race which eats bad
ly cooked food, Irritating 10 the diges-
tive organs and unsatisfying to the
appetite. Wholesome and palatable
food is the first step In good morals
and is conducive to ability I'm busi-
ness. skill in trade and healthy tone
In literature" II the preparation OF
food Is such a problem for those In
health. how much more thought and
stress must be laid upon the food we
prepare for the invalid. II has been
said that one-third OF all Ills that flesh
is heir TO are caused by abuse OF the
diet.
The man OF average weight (150
pounds) at hard labor requires more
food than the man at moderate work
The climate. age and state OF health
affects the diet. In arranging menus
for individuals or families personal
idiosyncrasies must be considered. as
One mans meat Is another mans
poison" The diseases which occur
after middle life are often due to the
habit OF eating and drinking such
foods as were INDUCED In during
early life.
During Illness the food plays a very
important part toward the recovery.
There are a few points well TO re-
member In preparing a menu for an
invalid. Appeal flrst to the sight. A
dainty tray with an appetizing bit OF
food tastefully arranged and gar
nished will call up an appetite which
seemed entirely lacking Then the
sense of taste must be appealed to In
order to have the food do the most
good. as a tasty dish is easier digest.
ed Serve all cold food cold and hot
food hot. Food easy OF digestion
should be chosen with due considera-
ton for the disease of the patient and
its nutritive value. Food we'll cooked
Is partially digested."
