FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

Have you, perhaps. read so much
along the line of (Letetics that you
are quite confuse! Do the words
calories and vitaLnins dance in zig
gag fashion before your eyes with
out carrying to your brain any very
clear idea? Do you aspire to feeding
your family as well as possible with =
out becoming a slave to figures ana
tabulations?
AS for the confusion, there is no
reason for being ashamed of that.
Here is one suggestion that may help
certain housewives to crystalline their
information.
While you are training yourself to
the proper use of your diet informa-
ton, why not have a daily food
sheet? Not a laboriously worked-o
dietary, but a simply expressed ana
practical working sheet.
Such a food sheet, in it's simplest
form, contains nothing but sugges-
tions for checking up on the days
diet. Each housewife will wish to
arrange her own sheet, but here rs
one method of arranging essential
facts so as to make them equally
valuable and quickly available:
These figures are approximate, but
the average person should have daily
the equivalent of four glasses of
milk either as a beverage or as part
of cooked dishes; the equivalent of
six slices of white or wheat
bread: one egg; one potato: scant
cup of cereal; three pats of butter
and from four to five tablespoonfu!s
of sugar.
So much for general diet needs.
To insure iron, body building ma
terial, and PHOSPHORUS for body
cells, have one of the following each
day: Lean beef or lamb, or chicken,
or fish; cheese; milk; eggs.
To insure sufficient vitamins other
than that contained in butter fat,
which has already been taken care
of, choose at least two from the fol-
lowing list: Fresh or canned toma-
toes, raw or buttered cabbage, spin
ach, onions, oranges, turnip, string,
lima or white beans, bananas. fresh
or canned berries, melon, caulifiower,
carrots, cucumbers, celery, grapes,
peaches, pineapple, squash, figs,
pruneS, dates or raisins.
OF course, this does not begin TO
tell the whole story of proper diet.
That is not my purpose in this par
ticular paper. My purpose is to sug-
gest a short cut to that feeling of
confidence that comes only when we
know we have given our families
enough to eat.

The Passing Fads of Health.

Several competent authorities in
form me that cropped hair is even
now passe and all the girls who sue
cumed to the mutilation are now
trying to grow hair long enough to
knot at the back.
I shall not say I told you so, but
only thank heaven.
Fads in disease, or imaginary all
ments, are pretty well known. F'ads
in treatment are always popular for
brief periods, like cropping of the
browning glory. In recent times We
have had a bewildering succession of
wonderful systems of healing. 1t
would seem that no pipe dream can
be so idiotic that it will not find a
following among the lay population
and here and there professional con-
vert who is willing to exploit such a
following.
A fad that has fastened on some
members of the medical profession
in recent years is aptly termed ma

SAN FRANCISCO. February 13.-
Points along the California coast from
San Francisco to the Mexican border
today were reckoning damage wrought
yesterday and last night by giant
breakers that pounded the coast line
before a driving gale.
Taking a toll of two lives, disrupt
ing train and highway traffic and
sweeping beach structures into the
sea, the storm is the second to lash
the California coast In the past two
weeks. Old-timers pronounced 1t as
the worst in seven years.
Two men lost their lives when a
launch they were repairing capsized
at Santa Monica. Santa Fe trains
were held at Santa Ana until a sur
vey could be made OF the tracks re-
ported to be under water. At various
points all the way down to San Diego
tho coast highway was undermined
and strewn with debris from the
mountainous waves.
