Answers to Food Questions

theory is that many cases are caused
by infection in the colon or lower
bowel Whether this is SO in a par
ticular case or not, the safe rule
about diet is to begin with diet for
constipation. Warm enemas to begin
with will help. and the use of bran,
paraffin oil and bulky fruits and
vegetables will simplify the prob
lens still further.
Acid fruits need not be avoided, as
fruit acids are quite usually taken
care of in the body in cases of rheu-
matism. Cantaloupe and other mel
ons are good for helping to rid the
blood of acid. Potato in the form of
soup, mashed potato, baked potato and
other simple dishes are almost equal
ly valuable and should be used to a
great extent in place of bread.
Probably you will need to cut
down the quantity of food eaten at
least one-third. This measure, of
course, is only temporary and should
not be carried to such an extreme as
to undermine your strength. Meats
should be avoided for a time and
then used sparingly until the dis
ease is conquered.
Sun l(.ths, local applications, very
carefully adjusted rest periods, etc,
are likewise beneficial.
Fats must be eaten very sparing-
ly and the diet list might be made
up of the following: Celery, lettuce,
radishes. cabbage, shredded raw car
rots, faxed and puffed cereal, dry
toast, jams Of fruit juices except rhu-
barb, cantaloupe, fruit ices, fresh
cream, cottage cheese

What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Genini.

Today's aspects are benign and Ia
vor the prosecution in a manner of
tasks and duties which have been
hitherto neglected or delayed-no
matter in what walk of life you may
be engaged. 1t is not good occasion
for the initiation of any untried ex-
pertinent or undeveloped idea and is
altogether unfavorable for any spec
! ulatve or risky enterprise.
A child born today will require ex-
ceptional care and vigilance in order
that 1t may grow to healthy matur-
ity. The care must be shown in its
nutrition' vigilance must be exer-
cised in avoiding all unnecessary
dangers. Its disposition will be docile
and pliant-an advantage of it's en-
vironment is always everything that
should be desired; a disadvantage il
reverse conditions exist. Its training
should be along lines OF self-help, so
as to make it self-reliant. 1t should
be taught the habit of decision.

ality by methods that find little favor
among those with whom you come in
contact. You apparently deem it nee
essary to assume dictatorial manner
ismS, which engender rudeness and
lack courtesy. You apparently over
look the fact that discourtesy does
not spring from one bad quality. but
from several: From vanity, from ig-
norance and from stupidity. Polite
ness comes from within-from the
heart
A we'll known writer says: How
sweet and generous, even in common
speech, is that fine sense which men
call courtesy. Wholesome as air and
genial as the light, welcome in every
cline as breath of flowers, it trans
muteS aliens into trusting friends and
gives its owner passport around the
globe"
Courtesies Of small and trivial ma
ture are the ones that strike deepest.
True politenesS consists in treating
others as you would like to be treated
yourself 1t is a good deal like an air
cushion-it eases our jolts.
Well known persons born on this
date are: Daniel McCook, lawyer and
soldier; John T. Morgan, senator from
Alabama, one of the commissioners to
organize the Hawaiian government:
BENJAMIN H. Bristow, soldier and

The other elements in the body are

A good way to distribute your food

A 100 calorie portion OF spinach
contains nine times as much food
iron as 100 calorie portion of DO
tatoes. On the other hand, potatoes
perform other services in the BODY
of equal Importance. The value OF
a foodstuff depends on the normal
position of that food in a balanced
diet.
In the cooking of meat a new
bodybuilding substance is formed
as soon as the heat browns the meat.
a connecting tissue changes to gela-
tine and this makes the meat ten
der. Certain bodybuilding sub
stances are coagulated and water is
given out. The proper cooking of
meat means that the new substance
should be formed and the fibers made
tender with as little loss of the juice
as possible.

Cantaloupes,

Even tasteless cantaloupes should
not be wasted. A delicious preserve
or pickle may be made from them. A
good way to use insipid. cheap can
taloupes is to spice them for next
winter. Do not however, spoil a
tine-favored captaloupe by dressing
it up. When serving for breakfast
light sprinkling of nutmeg will
improve the flavor of an insipid can
taloupe.
CantAoupe Salad.-Cantaloupes can
often be obtained when other mate
rials for salads are scarce. They
make simple but delicious salad, and
a tasteless cantaloupe will do nicely
as the foundation. Remove the seeds
and rind and cut the cantaloupe in
dice shape or in long strips.
Deviled Cantaloupe.-Chop the pulp
of two cantaloupes fine, add half a
cupful of bread crumbs, large onion
grated, a little pepper, salt, sugar
and curry powder and one finely
minced red pepper. Fill buttered
ramekins with the mixture, dot gen.
erously with butter on top, and bake.

The fact that lobster nKures SO
often as culprit in cases of indi-
gestion is due sometimes to careless
ness in mastication. The flesh is
coarse hbered. and unless very thor
oughly mastfcated IL Is likely to
cause trouble. Another reason for
the bad name that lobster has some
times in the dietary world lies in the
fact that many cooks combine lob
ster with very rich sauces, or even
with cheese.
The principle SO often noted of
attention to simplicity should be
especially valued in the case of the
proportion and serving of lobster
Finally, just a word of caution to
the housekeeper who wishes to con-
struct very economical dietary.
Delicious as it is. lobster meat is
from the standpoint Of the dietitian
expensive. For the amount of money
spent this meat returns a compare
lively small quantity Of nourishment.

How to Prepare LObsters.

Most OF US have affeetionate recol-
up in a big chair, we followed Alice
through her ever-changing wonder
land The lobster was invariably
possessed of special appeal, and
many a youngster enjoyed a delight
full thrill when he came to the lines:
You really have no notion
How delightful 1t will be,
When they take us up and throw Us
With the lobster out to sea-
Even today the first taste Of this
sea dainty frequently brings to our
minds the words change Holsters"
1t must be confessed, however, that
with the days of childhood left be-
hind. we are apt to think most of
the delicate flavor of the lobster.
That there are three types, the
American, the European and the
Norwegian. may not be known to
all of us. The American and Euro
pean are brothers under the shell.
But the Norwegian differs slightly
in general characteristics.
The tiny green egg. about one
sixteenth of an inch in diameter, is
the first home of what is to be a
lobster. The Matching of the egg
does not come about until more than
ten months later. and even then the
varied existence. for it casts its shell
three times before it begins to look
like a true grown-up, and must then
go through two other transforma-
tions before it really settles down
to the job of being a lobster.
Maine and Nova Scotia are known
as the best lobster districts, although
down on the cape" and other points
Of the Atlantic seacoast furnish
specimens that are delights to the
summer visitor.
Although some individuals refuse
to eat anything but the white flesh,
those who are really epicurien in
their tastes enjoy the whole contents
of the she'll.
