SEEK WELL-BALANCED DIET
OF the Utmost Importance to the
Health and Welfare of All the
Family.

1t is the duty of the housewife to
furnish well balanced diet to the
members Of her family. BY taking
something from each group of food
materials she will be able TO supply
all of the five food substances-pro-
tein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals and
water-which are necessary The
correct proportions of each. however,
must be determined by the individual
requirements and peculiarities. Ap-
petite, age. sex, occupation. climate
and season must all be considered
when making a well-regulated diet for
the normal person.
1T should always be remembered
that the ideal diet is that combina-
tion of foods which. while imposing
the least burden on the body, supplies
1t with exactly sufficient material to
meet its wants and that any dis
regard of such a standard must in
evitably prevent the best develop
ment Of our powers"
The vegetable foods-peas. beans,
lentils and nuts, particularly peanuts
that may in a measure supplant
meat should often be found on the
table. Inc peanut paste or butter
made from Underground nuts is
pleasing to the taste and very nu-
tritious. Peanut-butter sandwiches
make a wholesome lunch for school
children.
