The flag of Portugal is a fine exam
pie of those heraldic flags whose de-
sign tells stories of important events
or people connected with the history
of the country.
The five small blue shields are old
est in date and were adopted by Al
phonso | after he defeated a Saracan
host under five Moorish princes at the
battle OF Ourique. This battle occur
red July %. 1l29. and that day is
sometimes called the birthday of the
kingdom of Portugal, for from that
day Alphonso freed his country from
Moorish rule and assumed the royal
title. The blue shields are arranged
in the form of cross. because this
had been a campaign against the inf
dels and Alphonso had had the assist
ance of the Crusaders and of Christ.
Each blue shield carries five silver
plates, representing the traditional
live wounds of Christ. The flag of
FIVE spots is shown on old maps of
Portuguese colonial possessions.

A SERMONETTE.
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS,
Food Specialist.
Balancing the Body as Well
as the Diet.

According to discussions in
various popular publications
considerable effort is being put
forth to induce the youth of the
land to develop muscle"
Developing muscle is all very
well If it Is not carried on to the
harm of the body as a whole. A
diet that is adopted with the
idea in mind of attaining some
one result is never satisfactory.
Similarly. "A system of exercises
that is planned for the sole pur-
pose of over-developing the mus
cleS is just as unsatisfactory.
The wise trainer in college
athletics is careful to keep his
charges in the best of condition.
While he must of necessity pay
considerable attention to the
muscle of the crew or squad, he
realizes that in this very fact
lies possible danger. He sees to
it that his men rest and sleep
and exercise and abstain from
harmful foods or pastimes. On
the other hand, those who make
it fad or business simply to
show swelling muscles forget
these important matters.
All of which is simply another
way of saying that system of ex-
ercises undertaken for the sake
of exercises will not be fully
satisfactory. Exercises under
takeE for the purpose of accom-
plishinS SOM good end. whether
that end be sport or completed
work. is far more conducive to
health. Diet planned for such a
condition will be better balanced
and will in itself contribute to
more complete nutrition of the
body as a whole. Furthermore,
such a set of affairs means more
refreshing sleep and increased
supply of fresh air. to say moth
ing of increased enjoyment of
life itself. Take away any one
of these factors and you literal
ly rob the body of something
which makes for its satisfactory
development.
Balance your body, therefore,
and remember that swelling
muscles do not indicate strength.
