FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS. :
Food Specialist.

1t is very nice to receive letter
asking several questions because this
means that any discussion Is apt to
be of interest to a number of per-
sons.
One correspondent must have real
lied this fact BECAUSE he asks plenty
of QueStionSi
Taking the first question. he asks
for foods that should be avoided when
there is an acid condition of the stom.
ach. | prefer to give a list Of foods
to eat when such a condition exists
rather than those to avoid. Here Is
a diet list for acid stomach: Cream
Of vegetable soups, tender celery, well
cooked and strained corn, peas. green's,
squash, asparagus and potatoes,
flakes, shreds and puffed cereals,
apples. dates, fresh pears, very ripe
bananas, cantaloupe, white grapes,
buttermilk, milk, matted milk, ices
combined with sweet fruit juices, cot
tage cheese, cream, plenty of butter
and olive oil.
In general, the diet should consist
Of foods which do not require much
nastication and those that are not
irritating or stimulating.
The next question is. what
should be the diet when the stomach
muscles are f1abby?"
Luckily for my correspondent, the
answer to the second question I have
taken care of in the first question.
Continuing his letter this particular
questioner says that he works chiefly
at farming and this may influence
his condition for good or ill according
to circumstances. If, for example. he
is in a position to carry on the farm
ing work with moderation, the out-of-
door exercises will be excellent. If, on
the other hand, he must work early
and late, as many farmers do, he
may very easily over-tPre himself and
this must be guarded against as far
as possible.
Finally, there is one last question.
He asks If strip and honey are good
for him. ] should say in general. no.
The entire diet scheme calls for as little
sugar as possible and If my CORE.
spondent likes these two sweets as
much as l do, he may be very apt to
over-eat. His energy may be kept
up by the wise use of the cereals
spoken of. Their starch will serve
partially. at least. to give him the
pep" for which sweets are so highly
priced as food. Besides this, there
is a very wholesome form of sweet
present in the fruits. Fruit sugar is
concocted in natural laboratory.
1t is digestible and energizing at one
and the same time.
Take dates, for example. These may
be served chopped as a sandwich fill
ing or steamed and made into a de-
licious marmalade for breakfast toast
They are rich in sugar and are guar.

any one suffering from the type of
disturbance described by my CORE.
spondent.
It is comforting to reflect that when
nature deprives us of one food, she
is apt to relent and say: Never mind,
here is something just as good!'

My dentist has just told me that
my children must have food contain
ing great deal of lime or their
teeth will be soft all their lives. They
are so young that l am told there
is yet time to take this precaution.
On the other hand, my husband is a
professional man and we are living
on a small income, as is usual in
such cases. This means that l must
make every penny count. Can you
tell me the cheapest form in which

heart. First of all, I am interested
in the children's diet and in their
teeth. Next I have a particular flair
for making the food allowance bring
as much as possible in the way of
nourishment, and, lastly. it gives me
an opportunity TO air my views Oh
lime-bearing foods.
I can answer the chief question
Of my correspondent quite simply, as
follows:
The cheapest source Of food lime
Is milk. When we remember that
milk is also rich in bodybuilding ma
terial and in phosphorus that is es-
pecially needed for all the body cells,
to say nothing of it's other advantages,
it is easy to see why l take par
ticular Joy referring to it as the
cheapest source of food lime.
Other lime-bearing foods are but
termilk, cheese, cabbage, beans, peas,
oatmeal, onions, celery, carrots, lima
beans, graham bread, eggs, peanuts
and lean beef

compare the meals that l am serving
with those planned by my sister.in.
is more nearly correct? She tells me
for instance, that all this talk about
food values is nonsense and that
am very foolish to plan my meals
so carefully. 1 should like to have
way of answering her that would
make her understand the Importance
of such care.-Mrs. L. T.
Yes, indeed; such a comparison Is
not only practical, but quite easy
For instance, have your sister-in-law
write out her meal plan for a week.
Or, if she is not willing to do this,
perhaps you can arrive at it in the
course Of conversation. Then make
out your own outline and compare
the two, as follows:

you has provided a quart of milk a

BIT TER
BY WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM H.. HUTCHINSON
The seventeen Congress today
faced the possibility of running
into paralyzing deadlock as soon
as it convenes, due to the pending
battle to bar Senators-e Frank L.
Smith of Illinois, and William s.
Ware Of Pennsylvania, from the
Senate.
The drive to ban Smith and Ware
gained new significance when the
Senate's parliamentary experts de-
cided that no other business can be
transacted until both cases are
settled.
Unless the Senate itself should
rule otherwise, it was said. both
Smith and Ware must be seated or
denied their oaths of office before
Congress can begin to function.
The prospective deadlock, it was
pointed out, might even prevent
President Coolidge delivering his an
nus message to Congress Tuesday.
Under Congressional rules, it was
explained, both House and Senate
The Washington times., 1927-12-03

must adopt a resolution inviting the
President to speak.
If the Smith or Ware forces raised
an objection, it was added, this
resolution could not be acted upon
by the Senate and the President
therefore could not address Con-
gress until after both cases were
settled.
The key to the situation was held
by Senator James A. Reed CD of
Missouri. chief slush fund investi-
gator, who will lead the fight
against Ware and Smith.
The Democratic-Insurg alliance
which opposed the two Senator's
elect, already has decided to follow
whatever plan OF action Reed pro-
poses.
The defenders Of Smith and Ware
meanwhile rested upon their consti-
tutional arms, awaiting an an
