NUTS FLAVOR
THE DIET
BY Hannah Wing

NUTS art a food whose flavor
IN is enjoyed by most people,
- but cooking Of the present
day seems to offer little oppor-
tunity for their use. Why this
should be the case is puzzling
when one considers their worth
as a concentrated food, rich in
vegetable protein and fat, and
many ways in which nuts may be
used in combination with other
foods. For value received they
are even less expensive than
many other foods now considered
cheap.
Unfortunately, a fallacy about
the digestibility of nuts seems to
exist. The truth is that nuts are
easily and fairly completely d.
gested If we'll masticated and
eaten as part OF the regular
meal. They are rather too con-
centrated food to be eaten in
any quantity between meals,

its starch, requires cooking be.
fore it is used. All other nuts
are ready for use without cook

When nuts are used as the pro-
tein dish of a Lenten or other
meatless meal they may form the
main ingredient of nut loaves or

ance Of your girl, you take the
first step toward calling out her
divine latent energies. You ,realize
that her ordinary blunders' are
but the learning processes, and
you cause these to pass by your
insistence on the better things
ahead.
Your young daughter has a per-
feet right to physical comliness
but this outer beauty must sug.
gest refinements of heart and
mind. Dress her the best you
know how, avoiding all appear
ance Of vanity and Stiffness. Ask
her to consider for herself whether
the comliness goes entirely through
the whole fabric of her character,
like the figures of well made
rug. If the attractiveness is
merely on the surface as she sees
it, then, remind her that you and
not few other discerning souls
are wont to look into the char
acter for attractiveness.
BY addressing yourself to the
latent perfection of your girl,
even though she may be tempo

different, by speaking habitually
about her ideal habits of appear

your own peculiar discernment
the Eternal Abundance of physi.

Of kindly desire and Of joyous out.
poisoning thus you learn to
talk to the heart of your growing
daughter and you teach her to
visualize her own perfection.

~ EAUTY and obesity do not
go together. In fact, it

of any physical condition short of

more menacing to health than is
over-fatness.
The woman whose sedentary
life of physical inactivity is bring
ing on overstoutness first be-
gins to show this undesirable
condition as a rule about her hips
and abdomen. We sit so much
these days. This may, in part, ac-
count for the tendency to put on
fat about the waist and hips.
The person whose work in
wolves standing or walking for
hours and hours each day is sell
dom troubled with overweight.
In fact, it is the woman Of
abundant leisure, who has no
active interest or hobby and who
has no taste for athletics, who is
punished for her idleness by the
gradual accumulation of avoirdu-
pois. Riding too much in luxuri-
Gus limousines instead of walk
ing is responsible for much over
weight.
Also women who are confined
to a desk for long hours at office
work often fail to balance this
physical inactivity by walking,
dancing, swimming or work in a
gymnasium, and the result is
disastrous from a beauty point
of view.
The best advice to the woman
who wishes to reduce is:
Get busy and keep busy. Let
your activities include hours Of
