FOOD AND HEALTH
By WINIFRED STUART GIBBS,
Food Specialist.

Perhaps there is no other one dis
case that is the center of so much diff.
ference of opinion when it comes to
the part played by diet in its control
as epilepsy. While there are some
who are convinced that attention to
dlet VIII IN nowise help, the COM
sensus OF opinion seems to be that a
carefully planned diet will at least
help.
In any case, it is best to be on the
safe side. There is little question that
a diet low in protein is best for suf-.
ferers from this disease In this con-.
nectlon, 1t is well to emphasize the
| t',ct that many physicians feel that
putrefact1on in the intestines may con-
tribute to the nervous instability OF
such patients and so indirectly make
the disease worse
Luckily, prevention of the Intestinal
putrefactlon may be regarded as a gen
erdl health measure, so that any work
done along this line will contribute
to the general health of the patient-
Proper exercises and other health
habits must be praCticed, so as to in-s
sure the muscular activity of the.
bowels.
Now for the diet. If the general,
health and strength of the patienr'
warrants. il is a good plan to have.
4 short period of almost total ab.z
stInenCe from food. This must never.
ne undertaken, however. except Under
the direct advice of the physician.
After such fast the food should be
very light. Egg albumen combinetf
with orange juice and cereal cruel
are the first foods to be given. -,"
In administering d diet that is low.
IN protein, great care must be taken

the patient. and this means thatp
such diet should be undertaken by
some one of experience in Judging
the progress in nutrition Here are

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Our Enemy, the Collie.

The old-fashioned baby almost al
ways had the collie. The mother walk
ed with him night after night. she
fused with him in the daytime and
she said resignedly. After the third
month he will get over it, and went
back to her walking and fussing.
Nowadays we simply don't accept
the collie philosophically and bow our
heads TO it. We discover il the baby
really has collie or if the poor mite is
CRYING il is because he has an empty
"tummy." In more cases than one
cares TO think of this is the actual
condition. and not a pain from too
much food.
But we are going TO assume now
that the baby has collie; that his
mothers milk is too rich for him, or
that he is a bottle baby and is finding
that the food designed for the small
calf is tough, hard stuff for him to
wrestle with He has, in word, indi-
gestion. and whatever the cause, it is
giving him large, gripping pains
which cause him to turn blue and
cold, distend his stomach into the
shape of a round, hard boil and cause
him to scream with agony.
One must search and remove the
cause in order that there shall be a
permanent cure, but there are harm
less methods by which the child may
be temporarily relieved of his misery.
The pain is caused by gas brought
about by the Indigestion. This gas is
confined in some spot and causes in
tense pain. 1t must be moved up (by
belching) or expelled through the bow
els. \ spoonful of very hot water.
change of position and a hot water
bottle on the baby's abdomen will help
in the belChing. a warm enema will
relieve the gas in the intestines and
the bad pain will move away.
It is quite all right TO add a few
drops of essence of peppermint or fen
mel to the hot water. These have the
following effect as discovered by re-
cent experiments: They quiet and re-
lax the stomach. while they seem to
have a stimulating effect on the in
testine. especially the large bowel In
this action peppermint seems to be the
most active, and fennel is second.
There is an excellent reason why
these drugs have been used by the
1aity for the collie of infants these
many years.
Thus fortified with the knowledge
that we are helping to quiet the pain
and are actually aiding the child we
can use peppermint or fennel tea
when the child has collie. But don't
allow these temporary measures to
obscure the real issue, which is that
the child needs some change in his
diet in order that he may not be rack
ed by. these terrific pains.
Keep him warm during an attack by
the use of flannel blankets and A hot
water bottle on his stomach and his
feet. The external warmth will do
much To ease his pain and put him to
sleep after the attack has passed.

My Neighbor Says:

The finest of manicure acids
is made by putting a teaspoon
of lemon juice into a cup of
warm water. This solution re-
moves stains from the fingers
and nails and loosens the cuticle
more than can be done by the
use of sharp instrument.
The lowering of a lamp-hold-
er comparatively small dis
tance may make it possible to
use a considers weaker lamp
without sacrificing good illumi
nation of the table beneath. To
take a concrete example: If the
distance be diminished from
to feet an S-candlepower
lamp will do the work better
than a 24-candlepower lamp at
the greater height. OF course,
the light will be more concen-
trated and the room less eff
cient lighted as a whole, but in
most cases the latter fact is no
disadvantage.
To clean cut glass a soft
brush is necessary. In drying
glass a good plan is to pad it
in plenty of sawdust. This will
absorb the moisture on places
where cloth will not reach.
If there is any danger of
water pipes freezing. wind or
pack them with old newspa pers
They won't freeze easily then.
If you sleep in cold room, try
a thick pad of newspapers be-
tween springs and mattress.

without cutting the rubber let
the top stand in hot water sew

Will you kindly send me /. diet
which will help me to put iron in the
blood? l have been under the doc
tors care for quite while and do not
seem to get any better. My blood
pressure is far 2elow normal and 1
am very nervou'.-Mrs. M. G..
The ideal way in which to procure
iron is through iron-bearing foods.
Inorganic iron such as used to be
given as medicine is of only tenn
porary value. Bran, the yolk of an
egg, legumes (peas, beans and lem
tils), mustard green's, barley, rye, lean
beef almonds, graham bread, spinach,
turnip tops and olives. The richness
in iron is In the order named.
One ounce of any of these foods
contains more than per cent of the
iron required for day. This means
that pound of any one would COM
plete the iron requirement. Natur-
ally, it would not be wise to eat
pound of any one of these foods,
when 1t is easy to plan a very attrac-
tive and palatable diet with these
foods as basis. Lentils, for example,
are so rich in iron that one has to
eat only six ounces or seven and one
half ounces of beans to have enough
iron for the day. Whole wheat bread
is another good way in which to add
to the iron ration.
Other foods to use are molasSes,
soy beans, salted nuts. brown bread,
figs and raisins, endive and chard,
maple sirup, prunes, dates and brown
rice.
I am the mother of seven children
and, of course, some of the food listed
in your menus is too expensive for
me. l am at my wits end trying to
feed and clothe this large family on
small income. The children range
from years to 13. One boy is Grip
pied and he has malnutrition. 1 hope
YOU will tell me what to do for him.

The other books which am asking

Yesterday when l asked Tom why
Helen was speaking with a family
worried air, for Doro was one of her
best friends, me told me hat she was

Have you never noticed Doro s

she certainly has become noted for
them. and it's too bad. because she
once had a chance of being one Of
the most popular girls in New York.
You know, there was a time when
her phone rang every five minutes
and it wasn't just central apologizing
for the wrong number. No, sir, the
men didn't care how many nickels
they wasted trying to locate her.
Her living room was filled every
Sunday with a half-doZen ardent
SWains. This went on for a whole
Winter.
Then one day when we were all
gathered in her house, Doro amazed
us hy suggesting a new game to be
played. None of us wanted to play
a game, and we all heartily raZZed the
idea.
But our hostess remained obdu-
rate. oh. yes she insisted with
gentle finality. we must all play this

very dull afternoon. At tea time we
had all been accustomed to rush out
to the kitchen and help prepare cold
supper. but here again little Dorothy
was full of ideas.

If a bunch OF us were going to the

one up and arranged where we should
all meet, whose car would drive us
there. and what time we should start.
AT first the boys just laughed at
her and called her the boss but in
time they stopped laughing and began
razzing.
She was awfully busy at evening
affairs of all kinds, arranging just
when every one was to go home. She
arranged such early leavetakingS that
she incurred the hostility of half the
male population of Brooklyn.
one of her favorite tricks was to
seize on some poor unfortunate youth
who had hoped to attend dance as
'staC'-and inform him sweetly that
she'd arranged for him to takG an
out-of.town girl. She hoped he
wouldn't mind, she'd be perfectly will
ing to pay for the bid. etc.
Can you imagine what the boys
finally came to think of her?
Can you understand that they
shurned her as they would the plague
for fear of having their future so
entirely arranged for them that they
could never enjoy life again?
Poor Dot only did it to be kind.

1 am a constant reader of your
column and find it interesting and
helpful. I am a member Of a club
that occasionally discusses diet and
food questions. We would be glad to
have you favor us with a few lines
in your column relative to the food
value Of vegetable shorteninS.-Mrs.
r. NJ. M.
Fat is one of the most important
of the food elements and on it the
body depends for considerable share
of its energy as well as for material
with which to build flesh. While ami
NAL fats or shortening contain certain
FltamlnS tnat are not to be found in
some vegetable shortcomings, this state
ment must be very carefully modified.
Most of the vegetable shortcomings put
up by dependable firms are exceeding
ly high in food value. Beginning with
the various types of margarin which
may be used as butter substitutes, we
find that modern science is so well ad-
vanced in the study of diet that 1t has
become possible to add the necessary
vitamins to those vegetable fat prod
ucts where they are lacking.
AS your question, however, deals
with the question of the food value of
vegetable shortening l should say
that you may safely count on any
good brand as being sufficiently high
In food value to make it a very de-
sirable product to use.
You see, the normal mixed diet pro-
vides all of the vitamins almost au-
tomatically and, therefore, any lack
in some one food is usually made up.

Jack and Madeline,

While Rosalind worked around the

head different plans for forwarding
her scheme. She had counted to a
large extent on Dorothy's help, but
with Dorothy abroad she would have
to depend on herself. The best plan
seemed to get something to do. some
thing interesting which wasn't so
easy. She had been trained to office
work and was an excellent stenogra-
pher, but what else could she do? If
only she possessed talent, if she
could write or paint, or-here she
stopped, her breath catching in her
throat. She could sing. OF course,
She had had no training, but her voice
was sweet, and she had beauty Why
couldn't she turn her one talent to
something that might gain for her
what she wished? Why not?
The more she thought about il the
more excited she became. She might
go on the stage, but in that case she
would have to be chorus girl, which
