FOOD AND HEALTH
By wINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

Probably the time when rigid and
Interchangeable diet standards will be
universally adopted is still far off.
The reason for this is, of course,
the fact that even the greatest
authorities are still working on diet
problems and are still far from be-
ing permanently satisfied with the
results of their labors.
Obviously. the best course for the
average man or woman is to keep
informed as well as he or she can as
to what the scientists are doing and
TO, govern dietary plans accord
ingly. Take the matter of ade-
quate diet. one that just barely sup
plies the body with what it requires.
1t is important for Us to know how
to arrive at the conclusion as TO
what constitutes such a diet for vari-
Gus conditions. But it is equally inn
portant that we should realize that
this barely and merely adequate die
tary is not always the wisest choice.
Or. Sherman is authority for the
statement that 1--WE now have ample
Justification for setting our nutri-
tional aim higher than mere adequa-
cy, and that further improvement in
food habits will bring about still high
er degrees of health, with increased
efficiency and power to resist tnfec-
tious diseases"
So it is for us to learn how to add to
the merely adequate diet, the one that
just makes up the daily loss of energy.
One suggestion for arriving at safe
general conclusion in this matter 1s TO
divide the food allowance according to
the relative Importance of the differ
ent food groups. Lucy Gillett has di-
rected studies, the conclusions or
which are as follows:
Divide the sum set aside for food
into fifths and spend one-fifth more or
less for vegetables and frui g. ole-fifth
or more for cheese and miiz, one-f1fth
or less for eggs, fish and meat, one.
fifth or less for fats, sugars and food
accessories.
Such a division Of each food allow
ance accomplishes three things. First,
il insures adequacy: second, 1t is
good general guide toward that slight
surplus that may spell health, and
third, it provides economically for
these two important items.
II we like to simplify these rules,
we may follow DIR. Sherman's own and
spend at least as much for milk, in
cluding cream and cheese, as for fish,
poultry and meats, and at least as
much for fruits and vegetables as for
poultry, meats and fish.
These rules may seem arbitrary, but
as evolved by the two authorities mem
toned they accomplish much for the
uniformed. Both sets of rules, for
example, tend to give vegetables, milk
and fruit the prominent place, which
would make it less likely that the
average family would oyereat in re-
gard to animal foods.

scarlet fever or diphtheria, and the
condition Of lowered resistance" has
no more to do with the unidentified
infection than it has with scarlet
fever or diphtheria.
Even the industrious authors who
write the medical text books have not
the temerity to associate this lowered
resistance" hokum with the causation
of diphtheria or scarlet fever, although
diphtheria and scarlet fever formerly
were dubbed colds and in their
earlier stages, even now, they some
times masquerade as colds under
the dilly daily tactics OF the physician
or health officer who still believes in
colds"
At the conclusion of his remarks
this North Carolina doctor cautions
the editor of the Health Bulletin not
to reveal his identity, as he does not
want his grandchildren to read in the
archives of the state library so years
hence that their grandfather was ex-
PEELED from some medical society.

Making Household Linen Last
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

/ because Of the fact that linen costs
more. When II comes to towels, linen
| is more absorbent and it is easier TO
| get the dirt from in laundering, two
/ excellent reasons for the prevalence
Of linen for toweling.
Woru Sheets.
There are few women who do not
know that sheets can have their wear
ing qualities heightened when they
get worn in the center by tearing the
sheet in half and finely scanning the
selyedges together. The tender por
tons that now come along the sides
can be torn off and fine hems be made
on the machine. II the hemmer is
used such readiustment does not
take very long. The overcasting Of
the selvedges takes longer than all the
other work put together. Sheets last
nearly twice as long when so treated.
especially when the centers are not
allowed 10 get too thin before the al
terations are made.
Pillow Slips.
There are distinct advantages in
using tubes for pillow slips. First of
all, only one seam is needed, and, sec
ond, they can be made Overt Before a
pillowcase gets actually thin. cut off
the seam. Fold the case so that what
were the edges now come in the mid
die and what was the middle comes at
the edges. THE hem does not have to
be altered at all. When the fresh
seam is made at the bottom of the
case the hemmed end naturally shapes
TO conform TO the alterations Where
a pillowcase is made from a wider ma
terial scanned, this alteration cannot
be made without it's being apparent,
for on one side Of the case there will
be a seam down the middle The tub
ing case is not only given new life,
but it appears never to have been al
tered. it is lust as good in its latest
as its first form.
Alterations.
One word more about sheets. II
they have become quite tender through
centers and are not strong enough to
wear well at the edges when torn and
reseamed, bind the edges and do not
hem them. A still better kind of fin
ish is false hem of the same goods,
wide enough to extend over the ten
derest portions. Most sheets can be
made a trif1e narrower and still be big
enough for the beds on which they
are to be used. Therefore, little can
be torn off each edge before hemming,
binding or setting a false hem on the
edges. When sheets for wide beds
must be cut down great DEAL they
can be made for smaller beds, or the
good parts from the top and bottom
can be cut into pillowcases. These
may have 20 have seams at both
edges, but this viii not be making
them either unsightly or uncomfort-
able. for there will be no seam down
the center.

Again the question of the coat of
a gentleman. Soon Summer will be
among us and the coat done away
with. which will, / feel sure, ease the
mind of many young ladies whose es-
corts wear overcoats and are awk
ward about them.
This young lady in question has
had slight disagreement with her
sweetheart over his overcoat. They
were in the theater and he was hav-
ing difficulty in getting an arm into
the proper place. And Mary reached
over and helped him to the extent of
pulling his arm back to just the right
angle and popping it into the sleeve.
She then turned down the collar.
And when they arrived in the street
he objected to her ''fussing over him
like a baby and wished she'd keep
her hands to herslf in public places.
