FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

While il is always sad to read or a
young person being i'll, there is dis
| tinctly hopeful element in the letter

! fornia. She is only IS years old and
| saws she is ''disgusted" because she
| has intiammatory rheumatism. l don
wonder that she is disguised. The
| fact. however. that she realizes that
diet can help much in such questions.
added to her determination to get well,
will probably help her throw off the
trouble.
If such thing had been suggested
to my Young friends grandmother,
that inflammatory rheumatism is prob
ably due to an infection, this lady
would probably have held up her
hands and would doubtless have been
as disguised" as her grandchild.
Nevertheless, modern work in die
tetics has pretty well established the
fact that there is at least the prob
ability that particular rheumatism is
due to this very cause.
In planning the diet one must
think of two things. First, the lnfec-
ton and the fever which almost In
variab bly, accompanies it. Second, the
acid condition.
After an acute attack there should
be a complete emptying of the intes-
tines and the diet should for few
days consist largely of milk and milk
products, together with gruels made
with milk and strained cereals. Slowly
junket, buttermilk and other gruels
may be added. Water should be used
in generous quantities, either plain
or mixed with vichy and orange or
lemonade with very little sugar.
When the acute stage has subsidized
and the appetite has begun to i'm
prove, my disguised young friend

ter. then she may add green veg
etables to her diet. At the next stage
wnite-meated fish, such as cod, hall
but and bass, chicken and eggs may
appear on her menu. These, how
ever, must not be attempted until the
acute symptoms have subsidized. AS
for the foods to avoid. these are meat,
meat soups. meat extracts, sugar, ex-
cept in very small quantities; pre-
serves, cakes, pastry and similar
foods.
In planning the diet for muscular
rheumatism, a form likely to be at
| tended by less inflammation, the chief
point to keep in mind is that of main
tanning a fair proportion of alkaline
foods. Any we'll balanced diet has
this characteristic, but when muscular
rheumatism must be considered the
alkaline foods should. for a time at
least. be in the ascendancy.
In this connection it may be we'll
to remind some of my readers that
alkaline foods may in general be de.
scrlbed as fruits and vegetables. 1t

BEAUTY CHATS
The Dark Type.

When we We're talking about the
fair type of girl, the blonde and blue
eyed Notwithstanding sort, 1 sug-
Gested that there was a great deal
to be gained by contrast, so that the
really serious minded woman might
make herself outwardly frivolous in
appearance, and become an almost
startling personality as a result.
It would work out the same way
with the brunette type. For some
reason every one expects the wavy-
haired blonde to be light-hearted
and frothy. living mostly on the sur
faces of life, and the dark-haired,
dark eyed women to take life with
great solemnity. Why run to type?
Why be what every one expects you
to be? Why not conceal within your
self a surprise for every one? II you
look one way and act another. you'll
gain what ! might call double per-
sonality. So If you happen to be
very serious looking, with the oval
face and olive skin. the straight dark
hair and dark eyes of the real bru-
nette, and yet happen to love frivol-
ity and froth, Id suggest you accen-
tuate every point that makes you
look serious-your smiles and your
laughter. Your ability to enter into
any fun that's going on will always
seem so unexpected that you'll have

there were flowers everywhere. Long

The sun was streaming through the

She felt better.
Late that afternoon the baby was
born and after that everything was
confused in her mind.
Out of the chaos she remembered
being lifted from her bed to a long
table and being wheeled into the
operating room. Then the blessed

Starvation Diet.

This question of starvation diet is
so important that before l go into
other matters it is necessary to speak
of it again. What is a starvation
diet? Starvation means to suffer
from severe for extreme hunger
Starvation is deprivation of necessary
nutriment. Starvation means distress
from lack of food.
Starvation Is deprivation of necessary
nutriment. The body requires various
substances. Material for making and
repairing tissues, fuel to supply energy
bulk or fiber to eliminate waste mat
ter water. mineral salts and vitamins
A diet which lacks any of these
qualities is starving the body of neces
sary nutriment
