VACATION
FOOD ADVICE

IF you want a real vacation you
j must go away from home, see
something different. and above
all, change your diet, according
to an article by Doctor Harvey
w. Wiley, famous health and food
authority, in August Good
Housekeeping"
"As a rule writes Doctor
Wiley, the child is more active
in his vacation time than during
his school year and, therefore,
should have a more generous
diet. On the contrary, the grown
person is less active than during
his busy year and should. for
that reason, have a more re-
stricted as we'll as a wholesome
diet. The ideal situation is where
the family has a camp of it's own
and keeps house. so to speak,
out-of-doors.
Simplicity, above all else. Is
the thing to be secured. In
remote camps. it is difficult to
get the proper kind Of food but
where the individual. or COM
agricultural community, that diff
the character of all canned goods
has been so improved in the
last twenty-five years that we
can depend more confidently upon
that supply. Even In the case Of
milk, the evaporated or con-
densed milks of commerce. and
particularly the dried milks, af-
ford a suitable supply of this
highly important article especial
ly for children, so that In re-
mote situations the summer camp
may not lack proper food.
There Is, of course. some de-
probation in the nutritional value
of foods. due to the process of
preserving. We can readily sup
plement or correct this by a diet
consisting largely of fresh leaf
vegetables or, where these are
not available, canned tomatoes
particularly and gained fruits and
vegetables may supply the de-
ficiency with reasonable success.
While on vacations we should get
away, so far as we can, from
desserts cakes, CONNECTIONS. can
dies. and similar products with
which we regale ourselves dur
ing our stay at home, and live
on food as natural as can be
obtained and as simple as pos
sible. Yhis is true not only Of
children. but of grown people
as well.

The trouble with you, Orvil, is

useful woman. At her worst she
was a snob, a cat. cheat, a liar,
a coward and parasite. Her
upkeep was enormous and the
dividends she paid, practically
nil. So we junked her.
And now anything that can
make the grade is a lady.
