WHEN WE EAT
FOOLISHLY
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

+
~ v. MccoLLUM. the Johns
II, Hopkins University food
expert, emphasizes the
fact that the average American
eats too little of some foods and
too much Of others, and he is
making more serious mistakes
than did his forefathers in. the
selection of food.
1t seems strange, but it is true,
that there should be a serious
nutrition problem in a land of
plenty.
Feeding experiments on animals
and work in agricultural expert
ment stations and colleges have
proved the correctness of McCol-
lum's criticisms.
It will be admitted thata the
staple articles on the American
table are white bread, meat In
the form of beefsteak, mutton,
ham, roast, and other cuts from
the muscles of animals, potatoes,
and sugar. Supplemental foods
are milk, eggs and various fruits
and vegetables. or the staples,
everyone eats literally every day.
OF the supplemental foods, many
eat but little and irregularly, and
a few scarcely any.
Milk and such vegetables as
cabbage, spinach, kale and let
tuce, when added to a dietary or
cereal grains, potatoes and other
tuber or roots, improve it's nutri-
tive qualities.
If young animals are fed wheat
oats, corn, rye, potato, various
meats and sugar, they will never
amount to anything, but will be
understood and have stiff JOINTS

and a generally miserable appear

When such experimental ami
mails are fed milk and leafy vege-
tables in addition to grains.
tubers, meats and sugars. they
grow into specimens of fine ap-
pearance, with good skeletons
and sound teeth.
McCollum declares that the
typical diet for man in America
Is one on which no species of ami
NAL can be successfully reared.
He needs more of the protective
foods, such as milk, spinach, cab
bage, Brussels sprouts, turnlp
green's, lettuce and beet top

YOUR BEAUTY
A NEW FINE SERIES OF PRACTICAL VALUE

Because indistinct diction is
the result of carelessness, it can
be remedied in but one way-by
taking greater care to enunciate
your words clearly and to pro-
nounce them correctly.
A good dictionary, is essential
One may be had for a dollar or
two that will meet all ordinary
needs. Then the next thing is. to
consult the dictionary not only
regarding words one has never
heard before, but also to learn
the correct pronunciation Of the
many everyday words that are SO
often mispronounced.
It sometimes happens, how
ever, that person who pro-
nounces words correctly and
carefully is not easily under
stood. She may be puzzled to
know why she cannot be heard
unless she almost shouts. will
tell you wherein her trouble
probably lies-too-breathy tone
production.
This may sound technical. But
truly I am not giving a lesson in
vocal music. am merely stating
a principle Of tone production.
The so-called "breathy" tone is
not pure and so is not easily
heard. 1t does not carry.
In order to improve the quality
OF your speaking voice, why not
try this little exercise each day
in the privacy Of your room?
Smell of rose or of any fra
grant flower or plant. Or your
bottle Of eau de cologne will do.
Take a deep breath while smell
ing this fragrance, then exhale
quickly and quietly. Repeat this
several times.
Now try to imagine that you
are still smelling the rose and
while you go through the move.
ment of smelling it produce q
vowel-"a." for instance-in a
clear chant. Repeat with each
vowel. A piano or tuningfork will
help you to produce musical
tones.
OF course it is impossible to
literally produce your tone-"a,"
"e," 90" whatever vowel you
choose-while you inhale, but the
idea Of the exercise is to accus-
tom you to trying to hold back
your breath while you pronounce
these novels.
For the secret of clear, easily
heard tones Of the speaking as
well as singing voice is to control
the breath and not expend any
more Of 1t than 10 necessary ON a
tone.
