IIyHEN the frost is on the pumpkin
w and the wintery days are ahead,
the busy folk who are IL the business
world frequently become lax at this sea-
sor and ride into q rut of just bread,
meat and potatoes with dessert to
nnish off their daily bill of fare.
And then, along about the middle Of
December, they begin to have that split
ting headache, catch cold easily and are
really all out of sorts. And, no Won
der--for they have been lavishing them
selves with the foods that form uric
acid and these ailments are the result
of this particular form Of diet.
Meats, starchy foods and sweets are
foods that produce the dreaded uric acid.

The housewife, in preparing the noon
lunches for the folks who must go TO
business, should remember that the
lunch that is hastily thrown together in
a few minutes in the morning Is just
as quickly thrown into the waste basket
at noon, either as a whole, or in part.
And that one Of the important factors
that has done much to discourage the
business folk carrying the home lunch
is the manner in which 1t Is prepared
and packed. =,
II possible, select box or n basket
that will hold just enough. The girls
may easily select any number OF little
fancy baskets that can be purchased
very reasonably at the stores.
Recently I met a merchant in New
York City. bringing up from his car
