Nutrition Nuggets
FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME

IL your diet seems to be inadequate
and you are conscious of a sensation
of gnawing hunger. remember that
bulk may be the only thing needed
In other words, your food may be so
concentrated as to contain plenty of
actual nourishment while it still is
not bulky enough to give the stomach
something" to work upon. Bulky
food does not always mean food with
very large proportion of roughage
1t may mean simply food that is OF
enough actual volume to give the
system a sense of being well fed.
Next time you read about the i'm
portance of building up resistance just
stop and think how much food mas to
do with this process. A BODY that
is made UP of we'll fed muscles. nerves
and bones will have the best of all
safeguards against disease. Wen fed
muscles will not be likely to weaken
Well fed bones will be hard and their
owner will not be likely to suffer from
ricketts, Well fed nerves will go
long way toward helping the individ-
ual to ward off all nervous diseases.
Those who hold that ones instinct
is the only guide needed in selecting
foods should remember that those who
know most about the study insist that
instinct will not tell us how much OF
each kind OF food we need, nor VIII
it be a safe guide in deciding how to
combine different food elements so as
to get the best results in health.
When one Is advised to eat food
containing cellulose, the following list
may be of help. The foods are listed
as the proportion of cellulose in
creases: Cucumbers, onions, potatoes
caulifiower. asparagus, carrots, melons,
mushrooms. apples. rye meal, rad
isfes, cabbage. green peas.
In certain parts of the country beet
sugar is manufactured. and house
wives should remember that while
there is some difference in the physi-
cal qualities between beet and granu
lated sugar, all sugars give practically
:the same amount of energy. AS en-
ergy is. to all intents and purposes
the only good to be derived from
sugar, it is comfort to know that
one may safely use the kind most in

Of the following meals?" asks cor
respondent:
Dinner-Ordinary sized porterhouse

Spinach served with pepper, salt and
a very small lump Of butter. Lettuce
served with salt, pepper, lemon juice
and olive oil. Tea-no bread or rolls.
No dessert.
Dinner--Lamb stewed with potatoes
and seasoned with tomatoes. Spinach
prepared as above. Fresh peas
boiled until soft and served with salt
pepper and butter. Watercress salad
with same dressing as above. Tea
no bread or rolls. No dessert.
The dinners are very good-particu.

Dancing and Exercise.

You already know that dancing is
about the best exercise you can get.
III not only develops the lower part Of
the figure I'm speaktn of ballroom
dancing now, not fancy dancing), but
1t makes the entire figure graceful.
You never met woman who was a
good dancer who was not also fairly
slim, with a good figure, light car
rage, a great deal of grace.
So, If you seem to have no oppor-
tunities for dancing, get up a class
among your own friends, large enough
so you can afford teacher If you
do not already know how. In these
days of radios and monographs, there
is no lack of music, and few couples
can dance easily in any small living
room. It's not as nice as dancing in a
big room, but it will give you the
exercise and the enjoyment you want.
IL you can, get up class for fancy
dancing, with a teacher. If she's a
good teacher, she will put you all
through a drill first, to timber your
muscles. Folk dancing and certain
forms of fancy dancing will develop
every part of your body-arms, back,
chest, slim down a fat waist and take
pounds off thick hips. make the legs
shapely and the ankles slender. 1t
does more than that--it gives you a
muscular coordination, which means
a, perfect control over all the muscles
OF your body, which is another way
Of saying that dancing makes you
graceful The best part is that the
grace you acquire, or the perfect
muscular control, extends to every.
fhing-you will be graceful even when
you relax in chair or on a couch.
If neither of these plans is possible.
get a book about dancing, and dance
by yourself simply as exercise, to
radio or monograph music.

The selection of new lamps is al

much of the good appearance of any

itself in such an infinite variety thai
the choice is wider than ever.
The newest shades are of fancy
paper or of old maps, prints or docu
ments cut to fit the frames. The shade
of the lamp shown here is made o.
old missal paper bound in red. The
base is an old brass candlestick wiret
for electricity
This type of lamp is eminently suit
able for the room of dignified charac
ter. If one wished to select two lamp:
