The rules become effective oct. ~ Here are some

Galleries and Common Sense
BY WOODS HUTCHINSON. NJ. d.

One Of the most interesting dis
coveries from the food problem of
this war was the finding of the COM
mittees which studied the food of
English munition workers.
There had been much talk about
the men and boys gorging them
selves. and overlooking their stom-
aehs with all sorts OF indigestible
trash. just because for the first time
in their lives they had the price"
to eat anything whatever they
fancied. So the health committee
proceeded 10 put it 10 the acid test
First they collected a lot of sample
self chosen meals by the simple eX
pedient Of buying dinner buckets or
lunch pals with their contents at
the factory gate as the workers
came in the morning.
These meals were carefully exam
ined and estimated in terms Of
calories or heat units Then they
were compared with the results
drawn from the meals ordered in
the works canteen and cafeteria and
the weekly food bills in typical
households.
Much TO everyOne's surprise and
also qualification, the average re
suits from hundreds Of cases was
that the diets adopted on their ini-
