production records in the his
tory of automobile making, it
was announced today. This
schedule calls for an output Of
nearly 100000 more cars than
were made in 1922, when Ford
set record with q production
Of 1852, ,479.
Daily production now aver
ages about 4,7OO cars and will
be stepped up to 5000 in the
near future. Ford now em-
pIoys more than 10000 persons
and when he reaches the 5000
mark probably will employ
more than 100, 900.

White Bread, Polished c.

and Sugars Are Acid.
ACIDS NOT HARMFUL
But Must Be Eaten in
Proper Proportions
With Bases"
BY. WINIFRED STUART GIBBS,
Food Spec;aliSt.

Food Specia1St.
Mother Nature is such q careful
chemist and such an accurate one
Moreover. she, like all other experts,
believes in simplifying her processes
and programs and must often be dis
turbed at the popular confusion
which exists regarding the matter of
acids in foods and their effect on
normal and abnormal acids present
in the digestive system.
How often we hear people say:
II have hyperacidity. or too much
acid in my stomach"
Again, how often the complaint is:
II am suffering from indigestion and
acid stomach"
If we are to help Mother Nature
in simplifying her chemistry we must
first of all get clearly in mind the
difference between these two con-
ditions. The first means an excess
of the normal acids that are neces-
sary for digestion; the second indi-
Gates quite a different form of acid,
that is, the acid that arises from
putrefaction and decay of undigested
food.
This distinction once understood,
we are ready to 60 ahead.
Take the first condition, an excess
of the normal and necessary acids.
To keep the blood in just the right
state. with neither too much acid nor
too much alkaline material, is really
very simple unless there is some
unusual condition. It is chiefly
matter of learning which foods form
acids and which the opposite and
then of combining these foods prop
erly.
The acid-forming foods are white
bread, very finely-plished cereals,
meat, cheese. fats and refined sugars.
Not Always Harmful.
Remember that this does not mean
that these foods are actively harm
full in and of themselves, but merely
that they must be combined in prop
err proportions with foods that pro-
duce the opposite condition. Chemists
call these foods "base forming.
The base-forming foods are milk,
fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, unre-
| fined cereals and eggs.
That instinct is q safe guide up
to a certain point is evidenced by
the fact that such combinations as

Nutrition Nuggets

How many foods do YOU like just
because you know they are good for
you? Probably not any, unless you
are a very unusual person. And yet
how many times do you tell your
daughter that she should eat carrots
or spinach or cabbage because it is
good for her. You should know from
your own experience that such re-
mark will arouse a particular dislike
for that certain food. Use some other
method to interest your family in the
foods they should eat, but never, never,
tell them that things are good for
them.
In preparing beans for baking, if
they are soaked in water in which a
little baking soda has been dissolved,
they will cook in a much shorter time
than otherwise. The soda water should
be drained off and fresh water used for
boiling the beans.

CORN BREAD RECIPES

During the war we ate corn bread
for patriotic reasons, and, for time,
the mere fact that twas a duty, rob-
bed the delicious yellow grain of some
of its charm.
Here are few recipes prepared by
southern expert who knows lust how
to do full justice to this speciality of
the South.
Virginia Spoon Corn Bread.
level cup white corn meal.
heaping teaspoon baking powder.
l level teaspoon salt.
3 eggs.
3 pints of sweet milk.
2 tablespoons of melted bacon grease
or butter.
Break the eggs in your mixing bowl
and beat for about one minute. Then
add the milk and shorteni g, then add
the corn meal, baking powder and salt,
which have been thoroughly mixed to-
gether. Bake in deep pan about 80
minutes in moderately hot oven.
Punch hole in center before taking
from oven to see if done. not. let
bake few minutes longer. Serve from
the nan with plenty of good butter.
When baked, this is very much like
custard and, if desired. raisins or nut
meats or both may be added to taste.
Loaf Corn Bread.
2 cups yellow meal.
2 cups flours.
teaopson salt.
teaspoons baking powder.
tablespoon sugar.
3 eggs.
cups milk.
tablespoons melted butter. p
Measure, mix and sift the dry in
gradients, add milk, eggs well beaten
and melted butter. Beat long and
hard. Bake in a large round loaf in a
moderate oven.
Corn POp0vers.
ia cups sifted corn meal.
2 cups scalded milk.
1 tablespoon melted butter.
3 eggs.
Scald the corn meal with the milk,
add butter and salt, beat thoroughly.
When cool add 8 well-beaten eggs,
pour into hot iron gem pans and bake
from 30 to 50 minutes in a hot oven.

combine acid and base foods in a
manner that is both popular and
scientific.
The subject is a broad one, how
ever, and anyone wishing to advise
intelligently should keep up with
current laboratory studies. Among
the latest discoveries is that some
foods are both acid and base form
ing. Bread made from whole wheat
flour is an example of this.
AS to menus that help TO balance
the diet in this particular the gen.
eral plan should be as follows:
Breakfast.
Fresh fruit
Entire wheat toast
Eggs.
Milk to drink.
Luncheon.
PURGE of fresh vegetable
Oatmeal or bran mullins
Endiye salad
Cheese and graham crackers
Dinner.
Broiled steak or roast beef or lamb
......- Baked potatoes.
Two green vegetables.
Ice cream or fruit dessert
The above is for normal conditions
Diet for hyperacidity is another story
and will be discussed in later issue.

Many cooks do not know that plain
boiled potatoes are much more mealy
and appetizing if they are dried over
the fire after the water is drained off.
This evaporates the water which clings
to the potatoes, making them much
more palatable.

enough to keep the apples moist. Part
ly seal the can and sterilize in a water
bath for sixteen minutes.

Some raw fresh food should be eaten
daily. This may seem difficult for
people who are far away from large
markets through the winter, but ap-
pies, cabbage, oranges, carrots and in
most cases fresh milk are available to
most families throughout the cold
weather. The fresh raw foods contain
a large supply of some of the vitamins
and are therefore desirable.

will be permitted to join the list of
victims and contributors to the Denp
sey fortune If he So desires. The
only thing the long talked-of Demp
sey- Wills match lacks, he said. is a
promoter to assume the contract that
the two signed a long time ago.
Some doubt exists here that Wills
wants to fight the champion or he
would have the opportunity at this
time to raise a mighty howl about
discrimination. With the exception
Of those who might profit by a Demp-
sey-Wills match, very few regard the
cOlored heavyweight as a very serious
candidate for the championship. 1t
has even been reported that Wills has
decided to quit the game.
Kearns admit sthat arrangements
have practically been made for a meet
ing with Jess Willard and Luis Eirpo
after the Gibbons contest It Is appar
ent that present maneuvers Of the pro
motors in the heavyweight division
are being carried out with that plan
in mind.
While Dempsey has been assured
$500 900 for the Gibbons bout, Kearns
put through a contract which will
make It impossible for the promoters
to make as much money as RIckard
did out Of the Dempsey Carpenter
fight.
II the Shelby bout is a tremendous
financial success, Kearns gets in for
a percentage above the guarantee that
might run the champions end I'D to
a half million dollars. He will re
ceive at the very least $500, 900 for
fight with Willard and perhaps in ex
cess Of a half million for a bout with
Firpo.
With a cool million and = half for
a few hours work, Dempsey would
be in a position to retire and not
worry about the future.
