Knocking the American Diet

II there Is one generalization more
than another that acts as an irritant
to the average dietitian, it is the time
honored one about the American diet.
Well meaning but only half-in'
formed writer's shout from the house
tops that the American diet of white
bread. steak and potatoes is digging
the graves of the entire American
people. The truth of the matter is
that white bread. steak and potatoes
can hardly he said to represent the
typical American dietary. although
! they are frequently present. There
may be sections of the country where
fresh fruits and vegetables and milk
are not easy to procure and where the
! inhabitants must eat somewhat lin
/ tied ration. But to say sWeeplnCiy
that the whole country suhsists on
these foods is obviously foolish.
Then such a sweeping statement Is
doing injustice to the foods named
While they differ in degree, these in
dictments Of white bread especially
are practically along the same lines.
| The general conclusion seems to he
that white bread will slowly but surely
older persons in their prime.
Aside from being silly. such state.
ments are scientifically untrue. while
1t is always bad to have too limited a
dietary, no one wholesome food will in
itself cause active trouble. The trouble
usually comes from the limitations Of
the diet and from lack of elements
contained in other foods.
SO let us cultivate a little national
pride and diet consciousness Let us
realize that we are not a nation of
;illv fools digging our graves with our
teeth. Let us take note of and re-
,oice in the fact that the American
diet is probably as well rounded and
balanced as any diet can be
The fact that there are foolish and
uniformed individuals who delber,
ately or otherwise cut themselves off
from sufficient food is not any reason
for condemning our diet wholesale.
or our individual foods in particular.
To return for the moment to the
foods that are so often condemned.
White bread will make palatable and
even desirable variation for the
starchy part of our diet. 1t will be di
%ested in greater proportion than will
breads made of dark flour If milk
and fresh vegetables are on the menu
AT Nnlcn white DreitO is eaten, let us
shout from the housetops the fact that
white bred will not only do us no
harm. but that it will give us palatable
and nutritious food.
Then take beefsteak. We as ma
lion have eaten too much meat in
nroportion to other foods, There Is no
doubt about that. But there is also
no doubt that we are learning better
The constant teaching and preachine
of dietitians and other specialists is
having an effect on national habits
Meat in itself is good food, but the
,act that it is so concentrated means
that we should not eat a large quantity
1t one time.
An average of four ounces a day for
grownups and less in proportion for
children, according to their ages, is
jairly safe guide in the matter of the
meat ration.

and Mrs. Charles w. Isham and Mr..
and Mrs. George T. Harrington, OF

dent, vice-president and secretary or
the Junior class.
The room was beautifully decorated
in green and white, senior class col

and baby's breath and tasty daisy nut
cups adorned the long white table
Dainty. lacy fringes, shading from
dark green to white, festooned the
walls of the room.

Harvey *. Myers
Sends Greetings

Harvey X. Meyer, formerly super
intendent Of Indian schools at Tuba
City, now superintendent of the Col
vile Indian agency at Nespelem,
Washington, sends greetings to Ari-
zona friends and says:
eve ENJOY eacn weeks visit of
The Sun, as it keeps US in such very
close touch with the good people we
learned to know in Arizona wish
I could see you in your new home and
could extend to you there the greet
ings that come with this letter.
During the year we have been in
Washington the activities at this
agency have been very considerably
extended on account Of the vast areas
of timber that have been sold during
the year to be logged off over a
period of some eighteen years. AL
most million acres of pine remain
standing within this reservation, and
the Spokane reservation also under
this jurisdiction has about half as
many feet as here. Much of the for
est floor here is grazed over by flocks
of sheep that are brought into the
reservation and this adds to our ac-
tivities and the necessity for super
vision.

HIRAMS HEAR ABOUT
NARCOTIC PEDDLERS

There was good attendance at the
Hiram club luncheon on Friday, also
a number of guests.
Capt. Gerald E. Damewood in the
chair had splendid program. The
first number was piano selection by
Harry Rickel, which was wonderful to
say the least for a boy of his age.
Next was solo ably sung by Mrs.
Orinn Compton, assisted by Mrs.
Will Compton at the piano.
The main address was by Mr.. Sum-
mers. vice-president of the Anti-Nar-
cotic league, who gave some startling
facts regarding the trade in narcotics
and warned in no uncertain terms of
the lurking dangers to our boys and
girls Of high school age from the dope
peddler, who has no scruples as to the
wav he plies his trade. He was in
troduced by FL. G. Behrnnan of Glen
dale, state director of the Anti-Nar-
cotic league.

HI. S. Senior Players
CLeUer In Their Roles

Those who attended the class play,
'The House Next Door," at the high
school last Friday night were unani-
nous in commentator of the young
players.
The part of the English baronet
was played by Arthur Schwab and to
him should go the major amount of
credit for the success of the play. His
characterization was true and his act
ing intense. One could hardly believe
that he was only high school boy.
Schwab had a long part to learn, as
he carried the play while he was on
stage, which was much of the time.
He had fine command Of his lines,
something rare and commendable in
amateur players His acting may be
put down as exceptional and goal
for future high school players to
equal or excel.
The others deserve praise for their
excellent work Weldon Brinton as
Sir Isaac jacobson, played with his
usual ease and finish. Josephine
Wilson as Ulrica Cotswold had one
of the hard parts, which she played
very creditably. William Harrison as
the son, Cecil Cotswold, should be con-
graduated, as should Minnie HillSins,
playing the part Of the wife Of the
baronet, and Marshall Wiedner, the
servant Of the Cotswold family. Irby
Mae Richardson was the wife Of
jacobson, Weltha Beard his daughter,
and Winfield Beard his son. These al
did very good work. Stanton Wallace
was the servant of the Jacobson fam
lily, acting the part very creditably
Harold Burman as the Hon. Give
Trevor, fortune hunter, and Joseph
Sheehan as Mr.. Lewis, the musical
agent, did realistic work.
The plav was directed by Pauline
Bigham and J. P. McVey, of the fac
ulty.

BUSINESS ROSTER OF
CITY WELCOMES FRUIT
AND PRODUCE CONCERN

The roster of Flagstaff businesst
firms has had another name added to
it the past week, with the locating
here of Robinson & Carter, wholesale
fruit and produce brokers. Flagstaff
has been selected by the company for
the location of their warehouse, and
distributing of fruit and produce will
be made to Williams and Winslow
from this city by truck.
j. v. Robinson and H. P. Carter
are the members of the partnership
and are well known to local merchants,
having been engaged in fruit and pro-
duce distribution in this section for
the past year.
The decision to locate a warehouse
in Flagstaff came when the partners
found they could not successfully han
die their business from Phoenix by
trucks as they have been doing for
year. Arizona products are handled
almost exclusively by the concern,
with the exception OF out-of-season
fruits and vegetables which are usu-
ally obtained from Mexico.

CLIFFORD SMITHS
TENT HOUSE BURNS

Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford Smith and the
formers uncle, Walter Smith, lost
everything they had here amounting
to several hundred dollars, Sunday
morning when the tent house just
east OF the county garage in which
they were camping burned.
Mrs. Smith lighted the oil stove
about IL o'clock to prepare dinner and
stepped to neighboring tent to
speak to her sister-in-law, Mrs. H.
L. Newman. No sooner was her back
turned than the tent was IN flames.
The stove was just inside the door so
that the first flare cut off entrance.
In no time the roof dropped in and all
chance to save any Of the contents
was gone. Though the alarm was
sounded Immediately and the firemen
responded with their usual prompt-
lness it was too late. Mrs. Smith COM
forts herself with the thought that
she picked up her seven months old
baby daughter wnen she left the tent.
MIR. Smith, who runs one Of the
county caterpillars, was IN the coun-
try at work.
