FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

Here is a letter from harried
mother. She asks how to keep her
children from becoming machines.
They have learned all the food
rules" says her letter, land are, for
the most part, following them, but l
am honestly afraid that they are in
danger of becoming little materialists."
A not uncommon condition. but how
few mothers have the imagination to
be troubled in such fashion! Certainly
it Is true that if we dwell too much
on rules, we shall circumscribe our
field of usefulness. And when I say
usefulness, l mean something more
than routine completion of our daily
tasks.
Take heart, harried mother, from
the fact that your children are keep
ing the food rules, but let them know
that there is something more beauti-
full than rules.
When a great life insurance COM
pany sees fit to issue a booklet con.
tanning reproductions of famous paint
ings, showing how all of the paintings
have an indirect connection with
health, is not this a challenge?
Not that we need follow along pre-
cisely these lines. The skillful mother
will know how to help her children
connect food rules and nutrition laws
with beauty, whether in connection
with painting or music or any of the
other arts.
Lest this may seem too visionary
/ hasten to come down to earth, The
talent that is within each one of us,
In greater or less degree, may be fos-
tered in many ways, but there is no
better soil for its culture than that of
a we'll nourished body. And appreci-
alton of beauty may surely be called
a talent,
If the child has an ear for music he
will have an appreciation of rhythm
somewhat in proportion to his health.
If he has a way with his brush we
are safe in saying that this way will
be fairer one IL the hand that Yields
the brush is part of a well nourished
body. So 1t is for those of us who
have the responsibility of feeding
others to look TO our own inner lives,
that part of us that responds to music
or painting, or other manifestations
of beauty. With our own sense of
beauty keenly alert we shall know bet
ter how to guide the children in de-
veloping theirs. The fact that the
morning orange juice, the daily milk
and fruits and vegetables have a very
direct bearing on appreciation of
beauty gives added interest to those
prosaic milestones along the daily
march known as breakfast, luncheon
and dinner.

To Patch Stockings.

A stocking that is too much worn
for further darning can be success
fully patched. Turn the stocking in
side out, trim the hole neatly. then
overcast the hole with a single thread
of darning cotton. pulling the thread
tight enough to produce a slight full
ness. Work this fullness over the
darning ball until the material lies
smooth and fiat, and take stitches
from side to side across the opening
to form a rough spiderweb. which
will hold the stocking in shape while
you apply the patch. Cut the patch
about one-fourth Of an inch larger all
around than the hole 1t is TO fill. whip
the raw edges down securely, and
turn and whip i'm the same way on
the other side. The spiderweb threads
can then be cut away. and you will
have a fiat. comfortable patch, free
from the bagginess which makes the
usual patched stocking Objectionable.

MY Neighbor Says:

To save gas, if you cook with
gas only during the Winter,
wash your potatoes, wrap them
in oiled paper paper bread
comes wrapped in will dol and
place them inside the furnace
door. Potatoes thus handled
bake perfectly. The oiled paper
keeps the skin soft.
Partly cook cereal in a double
boiler the night before using
and leave it on the back of the
stove, being sure to cover well
with water. 1t will be well
cooked in the morning.
NJ e nd clothes, especially
starched ones, before sending
them to the laundry, so that
when they are returned, clean
and nicely folded, there will be
nc need to disarrange and
crumple them for mendine pur-
poses.
The bread box should be
washed out weekly, dried and
thoroughly aired by keeping the
lid omen a short time. If this is
done, the bread will never get a
musty taste. To keep bread
from becoming too dry place a
well baked potato in the box.
Moisture is given off by the po-
tato, but not enough to cause
mildew.
The white of an egg dropped
into a pot of soup will gather to
it all the impurities. When 1t
curdles, remove 1t.
To clean grease from an iron
sink, try Indian meal in place
of soap.

cooking fats, bacon, salt pork, pork
sausages. Too much fat should not
be taken, as an excess delays diSes-
ton.
The mineral salts. lime, iron, phos-
phorus, ETC., must be supplied in
abundance, for these are the essen
tial blood and bone building elements.
Milk is very rich in lime. But 1t is
deficient in iron. Egg yolks are very
rich in iron and in lime also. Greens.
wheat bran, whole grains and malt
sugar are rich in iron. Lime is also
present In greens, wheat bran, beans,
lentils, peas. The whole grains are
rich in phosphorus. So it is an easy
matter to provide the necessary min
eral salts If milk, whole grains. fruits
and vegetables form their just proper
ton in the diet
The Vitamins are closely associated
with the mineral salts. To be sure
they are not lost in cooking, some
raw fruit and raw vegetables in salad
should appear in the bill of fare at
least once day-at every meal is
even better. There cannot be an eX-
cess of mineral salts and vitamins.
Roughage must be provided in
every meal. Again fresh fruit, vege-
tables, greens, whole grains because
of their bran, and perhaps additional
bran or agar.agar should be included
in every meal.
There should be variety in the
menu from day to day. This stimu-
lates appetite and it also makes GER
tain of securing a full share of all
the elements needed for complete nu-
triton.
In addition to the nourishment fur
, nished by food, ii is necessary that
drinking water also be taken freely
every day. From six to eight glasses
is normal adults quota
One good way to balance the daily
meals is to have some protein, some
carbohydrate, a little fat. plenty of
mineral salts, vitamins and cellulose

(2) What is the best thing to put on
the hands at night when the skin is
very dry, cold cream or vanishing
cream?--A. A. L.
Answer--(D The hot oil dissolves
dandruff and softens the dry skin of
the scalp. It is a good plan to have
the treatments once a week for the
first month and then twice a month
thereafter until the condition is much
improved. Or you may use an oily
hair tonic twice a week with the hot
oil treatments twice a month. fol-

dry hair after washing it is to rub 1t
between warm, dry Turkish towels
and shake 1t in the sun. The hot air
is used to save time, but I do not
think it desirable for hair as dry as
yours. You could give yourself the
hot oil treatment at home as described
in my leaflet on Care of the Hair;
please send a stamped. self-addressed
envelope for it, (2) Massage with cold
cream or a good almond food cream.
The vanishing cream is not suitable
for dry skins, because 1t is greaseless.

Hot Oil Treatment.
Dear Miss Leeds: l. want to take
the hot oil treatment at home. How
is it done?-Mrs. b.
Answer-Heat equal parts of olive
oil and mineral oil in cup set I'm
hot water. Brush your hair we'll and
divide 1t into many small strands.
With a medicine dropper or small, soft
brush apply the warmed oil along the
partings. When the entire scalp has
been saturated with oil, wiring out a
Turkish towel in hot water and wrap
IL firmly about your head. Leave the
oil on for half an hour or longer and
then shampoo your hair as usual.

J. W. Ritzman was found not

licved to have saved him from con

liam Tackett, state traffic officer,
to the effect that the truck which
Ritzman was driving was so wide
that it would be impossible for a
person in the driver s seat to sig

equipped with no signalling device.
A demonstration was held to deter

a portion of his wrist would be in

He won the point.
Ritzman was the only witness for
the defense. He said that he was
forced to make quick stop because
of another machine coming down the
road in the opposite direction and
passing another ear. He said that
he drove his truck off the pave
ment, signalling for stop.
