TO CRITICS OF RECENT

Pastor of First Baptist Church Does Not Mnce Words In His

and Democracy OF Catholic Church
Are Considered.

Addressing a large congregation in
the First Baptist church last night,
Rev. DR.. George W. Mcdaniel replied
to those who criticised his recent SER

he knew the sermon would provoke
criticism, but he did not. on that ac-
count. shrink then. nor would he
mince now. Criticism he said,
comes from at least five sources.
These he discussed thus:
First, those who think ministers
should not deal with controversial
subjects. They ignore the anath"mas
Of Jesus against the false religions
of His age, the refutation by Paul
Of the heresies of his time, and the
condemnation by John OF the moth

words that burn and letters that live

into an easy going habit, when some

A wise mother does not allow her
child to make meal of any one ar
ticle to the exclusion of all others,
but insists that along with his eggs
he shall eat bread and butter, or
along with his bread and butter he
shall eat meat or cheese, or that he
drink a sufficient quantity of milk.
In other words, she balances his
ration by seeing that each of the five
food principles makes a fair amount
of each meal
Just what these proportions shall
be, how much of the tissue building

ducing fOOds-the fats and Oils-Or
how much of the work-supplying
food he shall have, will depend large

Correct Combinations
Adults should likewise pay close
attention to the proportion of the va
rious nutrients in their diet Too
often there is too great a consUmp--
ton of the heterogeneous foods in
comparison with the energy yield
ing substances, and too little atten-
ton is paid to the combined amount
of these two principles needed as
compared with the bulk of the meal
that is necessary to insure satisfac-
ton.
Because of this many persons are
habitually over-fed. To avoid this
the careful housewife will see to it
that each meal contains at least one
dish that is largely made up of
fibrous or bulky material. There is
danger in filling her family with only
highly concentrated food.

DON'T LET CHILD MAKE MEAL OF ONE FOOD

In old age and in children less food
is necessary than for adults in the
prime of life. For these two ex-
tremes a greater amount of nitrOg-
enous food in proportion to the
starchy food is necessary - in the
one case for tissUe-building in the
other for tissue repair.
For adults in the prime of life, 4
when work is light, less food of any
kind is needed; when work is in
creased, the increase in food should
be in the starchy material foods, or
the oils and fats, rather than in the
heterogeneous foods.
It may be safely said nearly every
body eats too much and a greater de-
gree of health would be enjoyed if
less food were taken.
