Answers to Food Questions

AS you do not tell me your age,
cannot tell you what you should
weigh. The fact that you are eager
to lose 20 pounds makes me hest
tate to give you anything but gen.
eral advice. That advice may seem
to you so simple as not to be very
helpful. On the other hand. It Is
based on the modern scientific prac.
ttce. This advice Is as follows:
Plan a diet made UP Of foods most
easily digested and stick to that diet.
eating only about half as much of
any one food at time as you ordsp
narily do. This modern theory pro-
vides for at least partial nourish-
ment on all parts Of the body rather
than partial starvation by cutting
out all the so-called fattening foods
OF course, there are certain foods
that are so obviously fattening that
you would leave them out Of this
diet. Such foods are fat meat, ex-
cesstve quantity Of butter and other
fats. Ice cream in small quantities
should be a good dessert for you,
although you would find water Toes
perhaps more suited to your require
ments. Raw prunes are not Of them
selves fattening, although the sugar
contained in them is, of course. tech
nically a fat-for1ning food.

Dark Bread.

Several years ago this truth was

The point that struck me was
this: MANY women buy dark bread

reason why it is made from either
whole wheat or whole rye. There is
q demand for wholewheat bread.

If the housewives will take the

bakers they will get honest whole

1t is now possible to get whole

of the problem. 1t may be trouble
to make wholewheat biscuits, but

HOW MUCH SPEED?

There have been many
theories advanced as to the re.
4 suits which will follow Henry
Ford's fve-day week. Mr.. Ford
is credited with saying that a FIVE
day week will give people more
time for leisure and buying, and
that this in turn will make a
greater demand for manufactured
goods.
This does not explain how a
man with simply more time to
spend money is going to be able
to spend more money with his
wages cut from five to six days.
The Ford plan does not contem-
plate six days wages for five
days time, without increased pro-
duction.
If idleness is merely to breed
the desire to spend more money,
the results will be disastrous. Mere
money-spending, in itself. without
an aim or purpose in life, would
be a curse to the nation. Extrava-
giant ideas would be developed
which would soon demand artifi-
cially higher wages, which, in
turn, would result in uncalled-for
increases IN the cost of living.
Can any but the strongest and
youngest workmen maintain a
pace which regularly calls for six.
days work in five days time, in
an industry already travelling at
high speed?
1t is pretty generally accepted
that as production is increased per.
man, worknen are entitled to their.
share in the profit, in the form of
increased wages. This, in itself,
does not mean increased prices.
Whether human activity can be
forced beyond a certain point re-
mains to be seen. The life of al
racing automobile is short because
it runs continually at full speed.
Can the human body be driven at
racing speed without disastrous
results?
Mr.. Ford's idea is worth watch
ing for he generally knows what
he is doing.-Selected.
