FOOD AND HEALTH
By WINIFRED STUART GIBBS,
Food Specialist.

I might write until all the ink in
my typewriter ribbon were exhausted
and not produce so convincing
statement on diet as one which / find
in the mornings mail.
My correspondent says: 'It seems
to me that merely to say I don't like
it. is a poor reason for an adult to
advance In reference to simple and
wholesome food. Work requires eff
fort and sacrifice and conformance to
regulation, but it becomes exhilarat-
ing under favorable circumstances
when a little interest and purpose is
exhibited. Duty is tedious to the nom
conformists, but not to the one who
appreciates his position in the world
as human being. To my mind 1t is
practically a duty every one owes to
himself to eat those foods that are
essential Everybody admits that, of
course. The point / wish to make.
especially is that we ought to per-
suade ourselves into really liking
wholesome foods and to convince our
selves that our dislike is at the best
superficial"
There is a whole course in dietetics
contained in these paragraphs. My
correspondent is perfectly correct 1t
is duty which we owe to ourselves
the other hand, in some cases. the
matter may go back to childhood.
Most mothers of today have had the
same experience in training children
to eat foods that they do not espe-
cially fancy.
Unless our mothers were wise in
their own days and generations we
may find ourselves temporarily, at
least, the victims of circumstances,
Habits may be formed so easily when
one is a child. These same habits are.
comparatively speaking, so difficult to
acquire when one has reached the age
of maturity.
So my comment on this letter from
my correspondent would include both
the above points. I agree with him
heartily that we must exercise our
own minds and will powers in learn
ing to like foods that are good for
us. On the other hand. I recognize
the fact that some of us may have
been so unfortunate as to have had
no early training in such habit-forn-
ing, and that such individuals need
the wise and affectionate help of their
associates.
TO have this comment made by one
or my readers and by one who is a
student of the laws of diet is worth
much.
While acknowledging his dependence
on those who make a business of
teaching food values, the average in.
d1vidual will always be helped by
hearing of the experience of one of
his own group.

A Balanced Diet.

IT am young business woman who
has just taken a kitchenette apart
ment. I seem unable to decide just
what is the right diet I clerk in a
department store and must watch my
expenses closely. But / know | must
have the right kind of food. My
breakfast is never a problem. bur l
do have difficulties with lunch and
dinner. I'm afraid I don't know what
are the necessary foods" writes Miss
Z. w.
Wholesome food is health insur-
ance.
BY knowing the necessary foods you
will be able to plan your meals so
that you won't spend on them more
money than you should.
Because the tendency of many peo-
pie who wish to cut food costs is to
cut down on fruits and vegetables, 81
wise plan would be to plan your diet
deliberately around these. They are
most essential to health. But it is
possible to have sufficient fruits and
vegetables, because the priced,
unreasonable ones do not yield any
more nourishment than the ones
which are cheap and easily within the
income. Cabbage. spinach, carrots,
beets, beet tops and onions are
always available. Canned tomatoes
are splendid to use. IT it is impossi-
BILE to get many fresh vegetables, the
canned ones are better than none.
Apples, oranges and grapefruit are
always worth the money spent on
them.
Plan to include every day two green
vegetables such as spinach. cabbage,
string beans, peas, asparagus beet
tops, turnipS, etc. Be sure to use
one vegetable raw each day. Lettuce,
tomatoes. shredded cabbage, grated
carrots, etc., will do. Also have one
kind of raw fruit every day. A halt

Force of habit has led to the addi-
ton of such large quantities or COM
mon salt to our foods that the amount
Of this salt present in fresh foods is
scarcely ever considered. 1t occurs, of
course, in the blood and other fluids of
the body and when the salt in the diet
is materially cut down, salt in the bod
lily tissues also decreases as well as the
salt in the water likewise decreases.
AS to the amount of salt that is desir-
able, most authorities agree that the
average man takes entirely too much,
especially If he is past middle age.
Remember that iron is SO important
to the human system that the infant is
born with a reserve supply tucked away
in his body. If for any reason the
child must be limited in his iron.bear-
ing food, the mother should remember
that if he has a good supply of lime,
iron in the body may be used over and
over and the evils resulting from the
temporary shortage of iron-bearing
foods may be reduced to a minimum.
1t is extremely important to remem-
Der that If for any reason there must
be shortage of foodstuffs, this short
age can be borne by healthy adults
much better than by children. THE
growD-up person may endure such a
shortage" says DR.. Sherman, 'for a
definite time without definite injury.
On the other hand, because of the fact
that the child's younger organism must
meet the strain of growth as well as
the wear and tear of everyday living,
the food shortage in considerable ex-
tent may do permanent injury to his
tissues and retard his normal growth"
1t is undoubtedly true that some
time is wasted in we'll meant efforts to
learn facts about food and diet. The
aim should be to learn how to learnt

nous value to the scientist in the lab
