Psychology of Color in

Young brides, II you want to steer clear

shun the colors red and purple in your
hats and gowns as you would burglar.
Don't have these coors in your house

Such was the warning sounded today
by Miss II. Maynard White, widely
known portrait painter and one of the
founders of the Three Arts Club. Miss
White ought to know what she is talking
about, for many years she has been a
close student OF the psychology of color
A visit to Miss Whites studio reveals
that she is an earnest believer in the
psychology of color, The walls and fur
niture of the studio are covered with rich
tapestries. There are different tones OF
orange and various shades of blue and
green.
Orange" said Miss White, furnishes
n striking example of the psychology of
color. Often while painting my mind be-
comes dull and sluggish on these oc-
casions l have only to rest my eyes for
a minute or two on an orange colored

FOOD VALUE
What Is Food Value?
By VIRGINIA f. KIFT

What does the frequently heard term,
food value" mean? Restating the
matter, What Is the value of food?" 1t
Is of value first in keeping us warm /;
second and third in keeping our muscles
strong and our blood clean 1t also
helps children TO grow anG grown-ups to
repair daily wear ard tear of the
body
Food can be llkened in It's value to coal
In furnace, for just as you build n fire
to keep your house warm and comfortable
to live In, so you eat food to keep your
self warm and comfortable to live with!
When you buy coal. 1t may be good, bad
or medium. 1t may burn up at once, or
not burn well at all on account OF the
stone and slate In 1t; or 1t may last as
long as you could reasonably expect.
So 1t Is with the food we eat. Some
of it gives us heat and energy. and some
of 1t will not Jurn well and has to be
disposed of as useless waste the same as
stone or slate in coal. The term food
value" refers, then, to some comparison
of these body fuels from which we get
good or bau food value.
For example, you would have to eat an
entire head OF cabbage (the chief value
OF which is its flavor and inorganic salts)
to procure the same amount of food
value" that one medium-sized potato
would give
Two onions will produce as much heat
in your body as an entire can of tomatoes.
Two tablespoons of uncooked rice are
equivalent in food value" to IL large
oysters.
Four prunes are equal In this respect
to one large fresh turnip.
And of what use Is 1t to know all these
equivalent food values?
1t teaches first that the watery foods
tomatoes, cabbages. turnips, oysters-are
not of as much use TO our body on cold
day as tho more solid foods-potatoes,
rice. onions. dried prunes and beans.
Secondly, 1t teaches economy; that
tomatoes at 8 cents a can and oysters at
~ cents a dozen give you only the pleas
ure of flavor (Which to be sure is well
worth considering provided you can af-
ford it,, while rice at or cents pound
and potatoes at cents a quarter peck
give you heat for your body and repair
material for your worn-out tissues.
Think over the meals you have been
serving your family, or eating at your
home, and decide whether you get too
much "slate and stone" IN your food; find
out whether you are eating food or just
"fller" Since you can correct your diet
II 1t is wrong, 1t will be FUN" TO know.
