Whatever criticism may be made
Of this electoral system from other

in electing to the position Of town

however, that the men thus chosen

More than half the ills of humanity.
We are told. are due to errors of diet.
Nearly all the headaches. a great ma
3ority of the colds and sore threats,
and 80 per cent of the cases Of low
spirits of every family are due to
wrongly selected or badly cooked
meals. And very often more serious
disturbances organic diseases of va
r1ous sorts. have their origin in a badly
set table.
NO n has a right to eat what he
chooses. n a housewife really has a
perfect right to insist on her family's
conforming to u wise and healthful diet.
1t is not Il question of guessing, or of
instinct. this matter of selecting a
nealthful diet-it means Il good deal of
knowledge of the principles of diet, and
close and insistent vigilance and appli-
cation of this knowledge.
Yet. the necessary knowledge is not
difficult to learn. There are many
books on dietetics and the chemistry
or food which clearly set forth all
that 1t is necessary to know. Is your
FAMILY getting enough protein, is it
getting enough starch? DO you supply
your family with enough fats for the
cold weather? Is the average con-
sumption of sugar too large or too
small in your family? Do the members
of your family who are engaged in
nard work get enough energy produc-
ing food. and are the less active mem
