WINTER DIET
How to Avoid Constipation in
Winter

Please tell me what to eat tt
avoid constipation now wher
fruits and vegetables are scarce
writes an: anxious inquirer t.
the State Board of Health. Hi
raises an important question.
Constipation is perhaps thu
most common single ailment W.
have today. 1t is very frequent
ly at the root of many headaches
bad compilations, foul breaths,
socalled stomach troubles ano
indigestions, dull sleepy feelings
in the day time and restless, un.
comfort, bl, nights as we'll as
dark brown tastes in the m)rning
and other uncomfortable ailments
leading to more serious troubles
later.
Oar arch enemy constipation
can be attacked from several
lifferent angles. Tie question
Of diet is perhaps the greatest
As a rule we eat too much,
especially Of meats and c,ncen-
trated foods with little residue
and not enough fruits, vegeta-
tles, and coarse foods that leave
but little for the lower bowel to
discharge. Fruits and vegeta-
bles are excellent but rather ex-
pensive and difficult to get
in winter. Perhaps the best
single bulky fool available to
everyone winter and sum ner is
whole wheat or graham -four or
oetter still ordinary bran, Bran
can be bought from almost any
miller or feed store for from one
10 two cents pound and a
pound will last a person from a
week to six weeks, depending on
the amount needed. Bran can
usually be purchased at the bet
ter grocery stores in packages
not unlike breakfast cereal. In
fact it forms a very agreeable
breakfast food with sugar and
cream or combined with some
'ther favorite cereal. Usually
rom one to four or five table
'poonfuls will b, folnl to give
satisfactory results if taken once
4 day, or oftener if necessary.
I desired, bran may be used in
many other forms.
Besides proper diet one should
lot neglect taking p'eaty of
'xercise every day in the op n
.lr and drinking plenty of water
,etWeen meals.
