but the one bursting with health.
says Miss M. Eleanor Jackson, Ex-
tension Foods specialist in connec-
ton with her work on food habits.
What makes the. difference?
Scientists who have studied this
question answer that food and
health habits are largely responsible.
1t is the food one eats which builds
and repairs the body, gives one pow
er to work and play, keeps the body
warm and in good physical condition
othat it resists disease.
The well built body has certain
characteristics with which everyone
should be familiar" continues Miss
Jackson. They are firm flesh which
is neither flabby nor unduly padded
with fat, strong firm muscles which
hold the body in position, strong
teeth which do not decay too readily,
strong bones which help 10 keep the
body erect, and erect carriage with
every part of the body in its correct
position.
IF this well built body is kept
in good physical condition, there is
good color, showing active circula-
tions beneath the skin which means
there are no dark circles under the
eyes and the inside of the lips are
pink; healthy skin, without pimples
or blotches. skin which looks alive;
good appetite, a normal desire for
plain wholesome food, enjoying
fruits and vegetables rather than
rich cake, pastry and candy; sound
sleep, from which one awakens, glad
to be alive, full of energy for the
days work and play; steady nerves,
which give an even happy DISPOSE
ton; freedom from constipation and
frequent colds. and right weight for
height and age.
There are some foods that il is
, necessary to eat in sufficient amounts
to properly nourish and maintain
the body. Potatoes, bread, butter
and meat are generally eaten in large
enough amounts whereas some 9TH
er foods are apt to be sighted. The
following list gives some of these
foods an dthe amount necessary to
obtain and keep in the best of ply
steal condition.

glasses a day to keep the inside of
the body clean and moist; greens;

There are always some don'ts to
go with the dos. In food habits the
first don't is never go without break
fast; second, do not eat sweets be-
tween meals for they spoil the ap-
petite for the next meal and the
more sweets that are eaten the more
one wants and the less one wants of
