The Health Of the Family
Depends on Sufficient
Celery, Rontuin, Water.
cresS, etc.
By MRS. NJ. A. WILSON

THE human body demands, to
maintain itself and be efficient,
mineral salts which are found in the
various foods. The soft and bony
tissues, the blood stream and its red
corpuscles, as we'll as the processes
that regulate the nutrition, must all
be given full and sufficient portion
If they. are to be expected to per-
form their tasks.
Now as cold weather draws close.
madam, the housewife, feels that to
include in the menu such foods as
cabbage, celery, lettuce, romain and
endive, parsley, watercress, both red
and green peppers, served raw in
the form of, a salad, means an addi-
tional expense. For these are, as
the housewife sees it, unnecessary or
luxurious dishes.
+ But today the physicians, one and
all, regardless of their schools, will
alIsagree that it is the food you eat
that makes for health. Either
there is intelligent use of these foods
or there; Is indifference, carelessness
or ignorance in regard to the proper
methods of cooking food.
Many folk spend the best part Of
their lives in misery. Frequently
they blame the physician for their
own careless and indifferent habits
Of eating. Today the word "eating"
has come to mean more than just
the satisfying of the body's craving
for food. 1t means a wise and ra-
tional choice of food; it means phys
ical fitness; and it means that those
of US who choose wisely and well
will have good, rugged health, while
those who make mistake reap a
veritable whirlwind of i'll health.

or preventive foods serve cabbage as
