BODY Needs Variety Of Food.

Too much attention has been psid In
the past to the ''don'ts" of cookery and
the diet. This, that, or the other food
has been considered unwholesome.
People were told that they ate too much
meat, or too many fried foods or sweets,
or that white bread was necessarily un-
wholesome, but nowadays 1t 10 known
that none of the common food materials
properly used is In itself harmful for the
normal person. The only exceptions
are the extremely small number OF peo-
pie said by physicians to have "idlosyn-
craciss," who must be particularly care
| fur about their food. What We need is
not 90 many "don'ts" but . few more
"do's." Here are some good rules for
| the diet, say food specialists In the Office
| OF Home Economics:
SOURCES OF vIrAMIHE A.
Use daily some milk, butter and green
leaf vegetables, either raw or cooked
| only enough to make them taste good.
These food materials oil contain . sub.
| stance called vitamine A, believed to be
necessary for normal growth In children
| and also for the continued bodily we'll
being of adults.
| Introduce variety into the cereal foods
used by eating occasionally brown bread,
baked or steamed; graham mufans,
cracked whole wheat, or whole grain
cereal foods In some other form.
Form the habit OF eating vegetables In
general and also fruits, fresh and dried.
They give bulk to the diet, thus tending
10 prevent constipation, and also they
supply mineral substances In abundance
and vitamine B.
Vary the sweets occasionally by the
use of finely chopped nuts and dried
fruits, such ~ dates, hgs. or raisins,
which may, for still further variety, be
mixed with honey. Such sweets raise
the amount OF mineral matter In the diet
and probably also increase the amount
Of vitamines.
APPETITEs GUIDE PRODUCERS.
Make special effort to include car
rots and cabbage among tho vegetables,
10 addition to lettuce, spinach, and other
green leaves, and tomstoss, oranges, and
lemons among the fruits. These foods
keep up the supply OF vitamine G.
These rules for individuals taken to-
gether make ono great commandment
for the farmer. the merchant, and the
economist. What people need to keep
them healthy 10 an index to what should
be produced and how II should be dis
tribused. No one shonld be prevented
from following good rules for the diet
because the needed foods are not avail
able.

There Is Al,oays Some One Who Has Time to DO
What You WouId Like TO DO

An AMUSING letter to the editor Of
"a a fashion magazine was printed in
one Of its recent issues.
It was written by q woman who OBJ
iected TO the height Of the figures in
tho fashion drawings
She measured one Of them and wrote
down the size Of the waist. the length
of the feet and the distance from head
TO toe.
And then she sat down and wrote d
letter informing the editors that IL
the lady in the Fashionable gown should
come TO life she would be at least eight
feet high
NIOULDN"T it be nice to have that
w much spare time?
Haven't you often wanted to write
letter about something of that kind
You notice picture in n magazine.
for instance, Of n man in perfectly
correct evening clothes. entering o
room.
And the lines underneath tell you
that when Harry came into the room lie
was still wearing his bathrobe and his
hair was disheveled
1t would be lots Of fun TO sit down
and write a letter that would make
you chucklc to yourself and really feel
that it was pretty Cleverly done.
But-you get interested in the story.
the telephone rings and you talk until
your arm goes TO sleep. bedtime comes
along, and the next few days are so
busy that YOU forget all about the
thing.
Life isn't long enough. II doesn't
