FOOD AND HEALTH
By WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

Why is 1t supposed to be bestowing
a term of opprobrium to say that one
does not know beans? To truly know
beans is to know great deal! For
nowadays knowledge about any food
is considered incomplete unless it in
cludeS information along a number of
lineS-and there are beans and beans
lima beans and navy beans, kidney
beans and yellow beans, string beans
and black beans-these are few of
the most common varieties. What
should we know about them?
Generally speaking, while varying in
form and flavor, all members of the
bean family measure up along pretty
much the same general lines. They
are all rich In energy, for one thing,
because they contain starch. They af-
ford an appreCiable amount of vege-
table protein or body building ma
terial in such definite quantities as to
have earned for them the Lame of
''meat substitute" Not that 1 like
that name very well. AS have said
so many times, no one food is a sub
stitute for any other. Rather meat in
its place and beans in their places, and
so on.
To return to the food value Of mem
bers of the bean family. Important
as they are, energy and body building
material may be obtained in many 9TH
er foods, energy, in fact, in varying
degree in all foods. But it is when
we come to think of the other main
food elements that beans particularly
shine. Important and, in fact, essen.
tial minerals, for example, may be
found in a comparatively small group
of foods and beans are high on the
list. Lime, for example, is present in
greater abundance than in the aver
age fruits and vegetables and every
body knows that we cannot have good
teeth and hard bones without plenty
of food lime. Phosphorus makes the
wheels of our internal cells go round
as no other mineral does and phos-
phorus is more than well represented
by the bean family. AS for iron,
without which no blood may get rich
quick"-all the beans contain this
mineral.
In discussing food, one of the first
questions asked in these days of acid
osis is, "Will this food be acid or
alkaline in it's final reaction?" In one
voice the different beans would an.
swer "alkaliner' if the question were
put to them! For this reason, repre-.
Sentatives of different members of the
bean family should appear frequently
in the diet. with this one word of eau.
ton: If white or navy beans are eat
en- unstrained, the coarse particles
contained In the outer covering may
cause irritation OF, a delicate stomach.

The Diet Wagon.

In the old days we used to hear a
great deal about the water wagon
Bill Jones is on the water wagon" :"
Sometimes the report might be, Bill
Jones has fallen off the wagon" A
good hard fall was not we'll for the
health of Bill Jones. Perhaps the fall
made it harder for him to climb
aboard again.
People who are on a reducing diet
may be said to be on the diet wagon.
A fall is not good for loss of flesh. A
fall may so cripple will power that the
reducee will find it hard to climb back
OH the diet wagon.
Safe reducing must be slow. One
cannot shed flesh like an overcoat. A
sensible diet providing all the ele.
ments necessary 10 health but re-
ducing the fat-making foods will grad.

Will power and perseverance are
factors in reducing.

EAT AND BE HEALTHY
Dindh Days Daily Talk on Diet.
The Right Food Is the Best Medicine.

Most stout people love sweets.
Whipped cream is just the trimming
they wish for their strawberries. But
| cream is fat maker. If Mary Brown
is already too buxom, the amount of
her energy or fuel foods must be cut
down. Sweets and fat in the cream
| must be foregone.
It takes will power to take the
strawberries plain and turn her back
on the sugar bowl and the whipped
cream.
Mary's appetite may long for big,
thick slice of chocolate cake and a
marshmallow and walnut filing. If
| she wishes to lose weight, she must
not eat such a concoction.
Mary's appetite may long for ham
and eggs or huckleberry pie. She must
not eat the ham and must take the
eggs any way but fried. She may eat
| the huckleberries but must not eat the
pie crust.
If it takes will power to overcome
| the desire for the fat.making foods,
Mary will soon learn that abstinence
lessons the longing for forbidden
foods.
Perseverance in following sane re.
ducing diet will be rewarded.
Should overweight be menacing
health and reduction be advisable,
/ Summer is a fine time to take a trip
on the diet wagon. First of all, be.
cause no one needs as much energy
food in the Summer as in the Winter.
These energy foods are the fat max
ers-the sugars, starches and fats.
When energy is not completely used
or burned, 1t forms fat. Second, be-
cause the natural desire for the en-
ergy foods is less in Summer than in
Winter.
The diet wagon leaves any day.
There Is no charge. You just climb
aboard. But be sure to stay there.
