HOUSEWIVES SHOULD
KNOW FOOD VALUES

Food is necessary to build tissue,
Teplenish waste, create heat and en-.
crgy and satisfy appetite. In order
to be perfect food, It must contain
sufficient protein or tissue building
elements to cause a continual and
gradual growth, and to overcome IA
tigue; sufficient starch and sugar to
give an abundance OF energy and
body heat; fat in sufficient quantity
to replace loss in illness or great men
tai or muscular exertion, and ash or
mineral salts for feeding bones and
tissues. x
a Balanced Ration 49,
The balanced ration may be obtain.
ed in several ways and without vari.
ETY.. For instance, we may eat meat,
bread and butter and potatOesy but q
continuation OF this diet, while Il may
cost q great deal for meat and butter,
would not give good results, as the
diet would be too concentrated, and
constipation and its attendant ills
would follow or, one might eat en-
tirely Of vegetables, such as beans and
potatoes, and the quantity necessary
to supply the required amount Of pro.
TEN would give too much bulk and Of
ten tissue starvation win occur.
In providing food for a normal fam
lily the housekeeper will find It proyi.
dent to decide upon and put in q
weeks supplies, thereby insuring q
variety of well balanced meals at less
cost. There is no more extrayagant
habit than buying q meal at q time.
The housekeeper win find that arrang-
ing her menus few days ahead, UNI
til three meals q day are provided for,
allowing some variation for vegetables
meats and desserts, and providing
against the embarrassment Of q quick

meal, viii give her q feeling OF secur-
ity never possible where only one
meal is taken care Of at q time: #
Deciding on the Menus. - + =. ]. /.
We should decide on the menus aft.
er We have proportional our income,
Ipro-rating the percentage Of food so
that only one fourth of the income is
used for this purpose. The occupation
or the different members Of the famf
IL, climate, temperament, sex. indiyid.
ual health, all must be taken into
consideration, and then such foods as
we can afford with due regard given
to their caloric value win be determ.
ined upon.
The mother will remember that
whether the children acquire full size
and strength depends more on their
food than upon anything else. A child
from to 5 years old requires four.
tents as much food as man at mod
crate work; from s to 3 years one.
half as much, while q boy Is years old
requires as large q quantity Of foods
as hts father engaged at moderate
labor.
Id 4 cold climate more is needed,
and this fact Is not due to the tenn
perature, but to the greater activity
of the people, and 1t will be noticed
that fat forms large proportion Of
the northern diet, as 1t is oxidized
slowly ID, the body. a tall, thin per-
son consumes more food than short,
stout person. for the reason that a
larger surface Is exposed and IS the
cause Of greater loss or heat.
Personal idiosyncrasies must be
considered. II Is q homely. but true;
saying that zone mans meat Is an.
other mans poison.

GETTING RID OF FLIES
IN THE SUMMERTIME

Fly time! How every housewife
hates to see this period of the year
come arounds These family pests and
household nenRces are as much
Efeared by the land owner in her coun'
| try estate as by the tenement dWeller
lin her crowded rooms. Flies are Ger.
tain1y no respecters of persons and
swarm just as busily about the doors
Of the poor as Of the rich, and both
rich and poor are united on q COM
mon Dattle ground IN their light
against this enemy.
The chief difference lies in the fact
that the rich can find the proper
means to fight them, whereas the poor
can only depend on their own wits for
weapons in the fight.
II every housewife had begun g Wig
orous campaign against the flies two
months ago there would be fewer OF
the pests to combat now. Flies null
tiply SO rapidly that every single one
allowed to live can generate millions
il, week. SO each housewife should
take it upon herself to swat every ny
she sees.
In striving to eliminate flies we
must think, first Of all Of what at
tracts them, so that We can Danish
the attractions; and then Of what the
flies avoid, so that we can make use
OF them. First of all, flies love food.
sticky messes left on the kitchen sink
or table, unwashed dishes stiIl con-
tanning bits of food, any scraps Of
food these are all pet gathering
places for swarms of flies. They
love the heat and uncleanliness. They
Iavofd the home that is cool and spot
less. They very seldom collect in the
shade, and they are rapidly dispersed
by current of air.
With these few facts before her,
the sensible housewife ought to be
able to ponder out some system by
which her home can be kept fairly
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-10-02

tclear Of the pests. The first step OF
/ all is to keep All food IN. covered Jars
or tins or IN the ice chest. Then, the
wise housewife should never allow the
dishes to stand unWashed from one
meal to another; II only takes a few
minutes to clear on the table, wash
and put away the dishes. but these
few minutes Of work as compared to
| q few hours delay make all the diff
ference Id the world In collecting a
heap Of fies
The rooms should Be- kept darkened
and cool through the heat of the day.
1T is not. only more comfortable for
those inside. but II serves to keep the
flies out. 1t is wise to have the win
doWs tightly closed and the shades
drawn from - to half-past three on;
very hot days. A good way to let In
whatever wind there may be. but to-
cool or the room as we'll Is to open
the window about six inches from the
bottom then pm q vet cloth to the.
edge of the window. The cloth should
be wide enough and long enough so
that it hangs down and covers the
space LEFT open. This wet cleth VIII
cool the air as 1t blows through, but
it will have to be re.dampened as it is
dried by the hot wind. The cloth flap
ping in the breeze will keep the flies
from coming III, swell as cooling the
temperature of the room.
So many women put their faith in
the various fiypapers and traps, but
the wise housewife knows that 1t Is
simpler and easier to keep flies out
than to catch them when they are
once in. Besides, the flies have plenty
Of time to do all the mischief possible
before they are caught The best way
is not to let them in at all
Goodness, darkness and absolute tidis
ness are the. sure preventive for the
ny plague. and an ouncesof prevention
in this case is. worth three pounds Of
cure s.
