FOOD AND HEALTH
By WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

There has been a great change in
the eating habits of Americans dur
ing the past 80 or 40 years In fact,
there have been a great many
changes.
The breakfast orange that appears
before millions each day was almost
unknown to our grandfathers and
grandmothers. except as a special
treat. The fruit cup. whole meal
salad, appetizer, hors d oeuvre-
what did grandmother care about
such things?
White bread instead of whole wheat
bread, crisp cereal instead Of oatmeal,
pineapples instead Of apple sauce, a
haddock salad instead Of a leg Of
lamb. cultivated Strawberries instead
of wild, a creamy pudding instead of
homemade mince pie on a hot day
these are a few of the changes that
have come about.
Some Of them are for the worse.
Others are surely for the better
Knowing this, we should not become
too much annoyed when grandmother
regrets the good old days, nor should
we put too much faith in daughters
insistence that the old meals were
not sensible meals.
Those who can rightly choose so
that they have retained the good
foods of the old days and have adopt
ed the good foods Of the present are
indeed fortunate.
Upon their tables the whole wheat
bread Of grandmothers day will still
appear frequently. So will the apple
sauce and the wild Strawberries IL the
latter are obtainable. The whole meal
salad, however. will now take the
oF A,,.~ Z.
at least once or twice a week The
breakfast fruit will be insisted upon
and the light dessert will by all means
take the place of those heavy pies
and suet puddings that grandmother
felt were essential to grandfather's
peace of mind.
A whole meal salad Is a salad that
is served in liberal portions, so that
the heavy course may be eliminated
Because Of this. it usually contains
some small portions Of chopped meat
or faxed fish as we'll as fruit and
vegetables of some kind. More and
more is this being served as the main
dish at the midday meal-particularly
during hot weather, when it is desir.
able to curtail somewhat the variety
of our eating.
One Of the most popular Of these
salads may be made up by using only
five ingredients-two cups cooked
haddock, two cups diced celery. one
cup .mayonnaise, two tablespoonfuls
minced pimento, two tablespoonfuls
lemon Juice.
The cold, faxed haddock should be
mixed with the remaining ingredients
and the whole served on crisp lettuce
leaves.
This whole meal salad, like many
others, may be varied as the supplies
on hand indicate. Haddock Is by no
means an essential. Founder, mack.
erel. halibut or any fish that will flake
easily may be used in place Of had
dock. Canned salmon may also be
used-and will be found very good.

This opinion, voiced by the "Amer1-
can Lady" who wrote this little hand
book, persisted through the last cen.
tury and into the present. Now
there are some older women and a
Few younger ones who are still
prejudiced against any sort of imitar
ton jewelry, but the very great ma
Jor1ty Of women are perfectly willing
to wear paste diamonds, imitation
pearls and glass rubies. It Is GER
tatnly not because they have a
mean ambition to appear what they
are not" nor always because they are
not financially able to buy jewelry of
the genuine variety. We live in an
age of what the merchants call COS
tune jewelry." Fashions in adorn-
ments change from season to season
and the thoroughly up-to-date woman
would rather wear a necklace or
bracelet or ring or brooch that exactly
suits the fashion and the costume
with which she wears it-and then
discard it--than to confine herself to
the relatively few precious pieces she
has in her collection.
Some really smart women at pres
ent are even wearing enormous imi.
tation diamond rings without the
slightest idea of deceiving any one.
The fashion for imitation pearls
which has been with us for several
years has spread from the upper to
the lower crust of society. It would
he untrue to say that the vogue for
these manufactured pearls is abating:
| however. very strong rival has APP
peared in the form of all manner of
imitation diamonds. Rhinestones,
strass, crystal, glass-it matters not,
so long as it sparkles. They are set
not in platinum but in what the shop
keepers call ''platined" silver. The
effect is really dazzling. Sometimes
those brilliants are set with imitation
pearls. To wear with one Of the new
simple black evening frocks you
should have a set of brilliantsp< con-
sisting of necklet, earrings and
wristlet or armba nd.

Eat Something Raw Every Day.

Talk about killing two birds with
one stone. Eating something raw
every day does better than that. Eat
ing something raw every day achieves
three purposes: First. the vitamns in
raw fruits and vegetables remain
intact: second. the teeth champ and
stamp" as they should; third. the eel
lulose in the fruits and vegetables
helps elimination.
Most fruits are best eaten raw.
They really need no dressing beyond
the flavor nature has given them.
Fruits are blood purifiers. Eaten raw,
they serve this end admirably. If
they are loaded down with sugar and
cream. the excess of sugar is likely
to cause fermentation.
Years ago people were afraid death
would follow il all vegetable were not
cooked. The poor vegetables were
drowned in water and then boiled and
boiled and boiled. Most of them were
rendered f1avorless. All of them lost
most Of their substance.
Today we know that not only lettuce
and celery can be eaten raw, but cab
bage, turnips, carrots and beets can
be used uncooked in salads. Some
peorle might even relish the very ten.

You can cultivate your eyes. Size

extent the shape of the eyes can be
changed--to an infinitely small eX-

HEAD OF STATE BANKERS
Speaker Warns Against Making New
Bond Issues

Taxation, its burden on the people
and on the bankers, colOred the con-
ventiOn of the Delaware Bankers
Association, at the Hotel HenlOpen,
at Rehoboth last Thursday. The
speakers, men of prominence in
banking and legislative circles,
preached the curtailing of state and
local taxes after the fashion of the
Federal policy of reduction. The
bankers were urged to adopt a recip-
rocity law to simplify the inheritance
tax. A committee was authorized ap-
pointed to develop plans for the es-
tablishment of a credit bureau with
service in each of the three counties
whereby prospective borrowers will
be checked up by the banks.
1t was at the dinner Thursday
night that the keynote of the conven-
ton was sounded. United States Sen
ator Thomas F. Bayard, as one of the
guest speakers, pleaded for the abol-
ition of bond issues as much as pos
sible. "The people are burdened with
terrible taxes now," he said, land
they are largely responsible for 1t.
"If we performed the duties of CO.
operation" he continued, that bur
den would be infinitely less. Public

DELAWARE TO INSIST ON
MARYLAND TRUCK LICENSES
Conference Looking Toward Settle
ment OF No Avail

While Delaware officials have de-
clined to make any statement as 10
tbe result of the conference held
August q, in Dover, in regard to the
registration in this State OF Mary
land motor trucks operating as com
mon carriers, it is understood that
the situation remains unchanged, and
that the Delaware authorities have
not receded from their former atu-
tude.
For some time, ever since Mary
land started the controversy over
registration of common carriers,
Delaware officials have insisted that
all Maryland common carriers op-
Grating over Delaware roads must
nav the registration fees fixed by
this State and take out Delaware
licenses.
MARYLAND started the controversy
bv compelling Delaware common
carriers using Maryland roads to
register in that state and carry the
states license tags.
For several weeks officials OF
both states have conferred in an et-
fort to amicably adjust the matter.
The conference on August u was
attended by several officials includ-

mission, Sylvester D. Townsend, Sec
retary of state, and Attorney Gener-

GRADE CROSSING
MENACE IS DEFINED
Safety Council President Says PeO-
ple Must Learn They Are Hazard

DESPITE some % fatal grade cross
ing accidents in Delaware so far
this year many people do not real
ize that the most dangerous hazard
known to motor vehicle traffic from
the standpoint of serious injury and
death is the railroad grade cross
ing according to Newlin 7. Booth,
President of the Delaware Safety
Council. The reason is obvious to
Mr.. Booth who says: whenever a
collision occurs at such a place a
motor vehicle and its passengers in
variably get the worst of it. 1t is
surprising the number of intelligent
people who contest the right of way
at railroad grade crossings despite
the greater weight of the locomotive
and the greater ease with which the
motor vehicle may be brought under
control.
The very presence of a railroad
track is a danger signal. The opera
tor cannot afford to relax his eau
ton to the extent of depending on
signals entirely visible or audible to
warn him of the trains approach.
Too many motorists make the ire
uuent fatal mistake of misjudging
! the speed of the on-rushing train.
The attempt to beat the train is not
ALWAYS fatal to be sure, but it is the
acme of foolishness and it is the
cause of great wear and tear on the
lives of railroad engineers to say
nothing of the breathless moments

CHARLES BECK DIES FROM
AUTO ACCIDENT INJURIES
Succumbed At Marshall Hospital On
Thursday Morning

Charles Beck, 18-year-old son of
DR.. and Mrs. C. Anthony Beck, of
Wilmington, died at the Marshall
Hospital here at 1880 o'clock Thurs
day morning from injuries sustain
ed when his automobile turned over
on the du Pont Boulevard last Fri
day morning. His sister, Mamie
paul. Beck, was also injured in the
accident and received treatment at
the same hospital. She was discharg-
ed three days ago. The young folks
were hurt when the Ford sedan
they were driving turned over while
attempting to pass the car driven by
Ernest jefferson of Milton. The
Becks were returning to their Will
mington home from Ocean City, Md,
where they had spent their vacation.
When about six miles below Milford
they attempted to pass Mr.. Jefferson,
who had slowed down preparatory to
turning off the highway into a road
leading west from the boulevard. Mr..
jefferson states that he held out his
hand as a warning, but the boy eVl-
IDENTIFY failed to see it. In attempting
to avoid a crash the Beck car was
pulled off the concrete roadbed and
turned over twice. Two boys, whom
Beck had picked up along the road
were thrown from the car and were
uninjured. Beck's left arm was bad
/ ly crushed and mangled and his sis
/ ter sustained numerous cuts and
bruises. They were brought to the
Marshall Hospital Immediately after
the accident. DR.. Beck, the boys IA
ther. was notified and he and Mrs.
Beck came to Milford. They were ac-
companied by other physicians. An
effort was made to save the injured
arm, but this failed and it had to be
amputated. Since then the boy has
been in critical condition and fears
were entertained for his recovery
The body was taken to the home OF
his parents in Wilmington yesterday
afternoon.
