FOOD VALUES NEW
STUDY FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

W z all agree in this day OF pre-
w ventives that an ounce Of
food is worth a pound OF
medicine. We all know the house
that Jack built relationship OF food.
health. disposition and efficiency: that
when we've eaten wrong we feel
badly and act cross and can't do our
work. These facts are every day
axioms. But what most Of US don't
know Is Just what real food is--where
lies the difference between food and
something to eat"
And it is small wonder, for there
are as many theories as there are doc
tors. There are those who prescribe
milk and eggs, those who prohibit
both. V%egetarians tells us that meat
is rank poison: meat eaters prove
their point with elaborate scientific
proof. There are those who fast,
who don't take breakfast. who eat
bran bread, who live on nuts, who
spurn pastry. who do this and don't
do that, eat this and don't eat that,
until we lay people haven't any Idea
what to do In our W particular
cases.
What is real food them
Prof. Mary S. Rose Of Teachers Col
lege. Columbia University, is devot-
ing her days to the study Of this eat
ing problem and to the teaching Of
certain fundamental principles to
other people. She makes some inter-
esting deductions for tho housewife to
think about.
First, stomachs have tempera-
ments. What's good for one stomach
may not be good for another, even in
the same family. What people write
every day about the food value OF
milk. eggs, green vegetables, fruit and
nuts Is all true, but that isn't the
whole story. There are certain other
articles Of diet, which though poison
to some people. are Of definite food
value to others. Mince pie. for In

can't burn 1t up quickly enough and

| boon; It's bread and butter and mea,
and apples in a form which he car

This means, then. that too genera
rules cannot be applied. The kline

Happiness and Philosophy


Do you remember how Seneca begins
his essay on THE Happy Life? 1t is
well worth remembering and runs thus:
There is not anything in this world,
perhaps, that is more talked of and less
understood than the business of a, hap
Ply life"
The requisites to happy hereafter
have been pretty well worked out by the
theologians; but who tells us how to
maintain succession of happy nows?
Our foolish heads are full Of plans for
tomorrow's JOY, but there is no plan
about today's, and when it comes we
usually look upon it as stolen. or fear 1t
as an omen of trouble to come.
Prosperity does not necessarily bring
happiness. We think it does, because
we are all chasing it with that end in
view. When the hoped for joy does not
come we are disappointed. Hence, AZ
we grow old we become bitter. Old age
| is dreadful only because it is loaded with
broken illusions. We believe all our
lives things that are not true; in old
age, if not before, we find this out.
The truth is that happiness is habit,
or rather an art, and must be practised
every day 1T CONSISTS IN THE APP
IRRIGATION OF WHAT WE HAVE,
NOT IN THE ANTICIPATION OF
WHAT WE EXPECT TO GET.
Some sort of philosophy is essential.
To be philosopher does not imply that
you must have taken a university course
and have studied a number of thick
books, nor that you should be gifted in
mind and skilled in reasoning. Some Of
the best philosophers in the world are
blacksmiths, bricklayers, housewives and
brakemen.
Philosophy means seeing things in a
right proportion. 1t means shifty &C
commodating Of ones self to the inevi-
table 1t means knowing how to adjust
ones self dextrously to failure. 1t
means what is called on the street ''be-
ing good sport" which is to say, ac-
cepting reverses and looking pleasant.
People may laugh at you when you
talk Of taking things philosophically.
They will quote you, There was never
yet philosopher could bear the tooth
ache patiently" and tell you to wait un-
til trouble comes to you and see how you
will stand it.
But for all that, no one is fortified in
happiness except by philosophy All the
various cults. sects, fads and religions
are valuable for present contentment in
proportion to the philosophy they con-
| tain.
Essential and continuous happiness
does not flow from prosperity nor from
any events, but from the discipline which
,ommon-sense exercises over our
thoughts and feelings. That is philoso-
)hy.
