FOOD AND HEALTH
BY W1NIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

We hear a great deal about the law
of supply and demand i'm the textile
market for example. We realize in a
vague way that when we demand black
silk stockings we get black and when
some demand nude" they get that.
But how many of us realize that we,
as consumers of food. are really help
ing TO determine what we and our fell
low citizens actually receive in the
way of edibles?
4 recent Government study points
out that while the producer, the dis
tributor and the consumer are all in
terested in food problems. 1t is the
consumer who is recognized as the
one welding the strongest influence.
1t is natural and right for us to dc
mand, first, foods that are best for
ourselves and for our own families.
We expect our local food distributor
or grocer to provide us with such
food On the other hand. those Of us
, who are giving intelligent study to
the question should occasionally stop
to realize that we are at the same
time helping to develop the American
dietary. either for good or ill., When
those of us in more northern climates
demand stra wberries in January. we
are forcing the market aud making
things somewhat difficult for number
of individuals. When. on the other
hand. we demand the right foods in
the right season. we are helping to
stabilize conditions.
Several factors enter in. Those of
us who are forced by modest incomes
to devote considerable time and care
to the spending of our food allowance
have one problem. The very wealthy.
with their large incomes and many ser
wants, who sometimes waste much
food. have another Certainly. there
is no more worthwhile subject for
Il neighborhood club to consider than
this very one of the supply and de-
ma nd of foodstuffs.
If you are a member of one OF the
federated women's clubs. this very
question may appear on your program
If YOU are simply thinking over
little informal neighborhood club. why
not make it the basis for real study?
1t will. perhaps, be best to study
one type OF food al a time. The Bureau
of Agricultural Economics in Wash
ington has recently issued a bulletin
on Consumer Habits and Preferences
in the Purchase and Consumption Of
Meat" This bulletin and others like
it will be Of great assistance if your
neighborhood group decides to study

related to food.
You will wish to work out your own
plan of gathering information and
your own plan for using the informa.
ton in it's application to your neigh
borhood problems. For instance, your
particular local problem may have to
do with the milk supply. or with fruit.
rather than with the meat supply. The
point is to remember that it is worth
while for every housewife to know
what she is talking about when she
says that the supply OF a certain food
falls below demand in her neighbor.

SO and She, together with her sister
housewives. should have an intelligent
idea of what to do about it.

NV Neighbor Says:

Use granulated sugar in the
rinsing water when washing
laces, instead of starching them.
The result will be more satisfac-
tory.
Whenever possible vegetables
should be cooked whole and
without peeling. If they must
be cut they lose less of their nu-
tritious substances when cut
lengthwise rather than cross
wise. Water for cooking vege-
tables should he boiling when
they are put into il. This helps
to set the color of some kinds
and shortens the time of cook
ing so that smaller proportion
of the minerals is extracted than
when cold water is used.
IL soapy water is used in max
ing starch, linen will be more
glossy and the irons will not
stick TO 1t.
When YOU wish a cup or
strong tea instead of putting an
extra teaspoon of tea in the pot,
add'one lump OF sugar. 1t opens
the leaves and will make the tea
much stronger.
Never wash rubber stockings
in soap water. The alkali In
soap rots the rubber. Wash in
warm water with a brush. They
last much longer if treated in
this manner.
When lettuce is being pre-
pared for the table it is always
advisable to break off a little OF
the midrib, as that is likely to be
bitter.

Dear Miss Anne Arden: How does

in pieces for serving. Roll each piece
in flour and brown a few pieces at a

Nicely Shaped Fingernails.

Hands that are naturally slender
and graceful can be made so by shap-
ing the nails nicely. II you want
length, file the nails as long as you
can---within reason. I've added with
in reason" because the exaggerated
nails some girls have nowadays add
nothing to the apparent length OF the
fingers. they merely make them look
like claws.
File each nail to slightly rounded
point, letting the point come out a
little beyond the natural end OF the
finger. If you are typist or pianist
or do any work using your fingers,
you1l have to sacrifice length or go
about with constantly breaking nails.
Otherwise let your sense of good taste
show you how long your nails can be,
and still look attractive.
If you can't have the nails too long,
either because you use your hands
hard in working or because the nails
are brittle and break easily, you can
get something of the long effect by
cutting the two corners of each nail
well back into the skin. You must
cut the corners anyway. to avoid
hangnails; cut back as far as you
can and the nail will look longer than
it is. This is good trick for short
fingered hands.
Never make the point of the nail
sharp. From the corners to the tip,
make an attractive curve, roughly
like the curve at the end OF the nail.
where it grows from the finger. If
you do this. you acquire the "filbert"
shape, which is considered the most
beautiful shape now. Another thing
is, never press down into the skin
with the file when you are cleaning
under the nails; this emphasizes the
white part of each nail more strongly.

There are few elements that interior
decorators find more difficult to impart
to rooms than the atmosphere of cozi-
ness in conjunction with artistic
done by expert decorators seem formal
at first, for it Is left to the homemaker
to instil the coziness. Nor is it the
decorators alone who find the matter
battling. Many homemakers find the
same difficulty. Their rooms appar-
emily may be well decorated with fur
niture and the furnishings fine in style
and excellent in quality. and the color
scheme be interesting. Yet, withal, the
rooms definitely lack coziness, which
to rooms is what charm is to personali-
ties.
What can be done to help the condi-
tions? That these can be changed is
we'll recognized fact, for, given the
same things, some women would have
the rooms invitingly coy. So while
there are no hard and fast rules for
coZiness or for charm, there are GER
tain things that can be noted as aids.
Evidence of Enjoyment.
The first thing among several that
tends toward coy interiors is an APP
pearance of having been lired in, not
merely occupied. Hotel rooms are con-
stantly being occupied, but they are
notoriously lacking in coziness. SO
merely occupying rooms is, not suffi-
cient. There must be evideIfces. imme-
diately noticeable. that the rooms are
enjoyed during occupancy. Then they
will have what is Some Of lines termed q
livable quality. Every item in the room
will not be in the perfection of order
Illness, but, on the other hand, there
will be no confusion.
Atmosphere of Welcome.
IF the room is a living room. there
probably will be some book lying on
the table where the one reading it laid
it aside to be taken up again short
ly. There may be some sewing by
sewing basket, sheets of music OH the
piano. or chairs drawn together just
as the occupants left them after chat
ting together. AS will be seen. these
all are evidences that the room has
been recently occupied, is just await.
ing the return of persons and is ready
to welcome them.
An Air of Expectancy.
And SO we find that one element in
coziness is expectancy. You know that
individuals have found the cozy room
SO attractive that they will come back
Another element is utility A coy
room is one that has purpose, and
coupled with that is the fact that the
person or persons occupying it find 1t
admirably suited to it's use A living
room from its very name indicates

that it is lived in, and it does not
fulfill it's function well unless it Is en-
joyed in its utility. A bedroom
signifies a room in which to sleep, but
unless il indicates that the person
sleeping in it actually enjoys the room
it does not give one the impression

GRAIN MARKET

Duluth tended to emphasize likelihood
that considerable of the stock of wheat
there would be brought to this city.
At the same time extremely optimistic
unofficial crop estimates from Canada
were in circulation. These estimates
put the 1927 Canadian yield at mate
rally above 500,0O0,0OO bushels, an
amount much in excess of prelimin-
ary government figures. Meanwhile
Canadian country marketing ior yes
terday were announced as totaling s.
OIL 900 bushels against 100000 bushels
year ago. rt
According to today's Argentine adj
vices, neither rust nor frost appears
to have done any important damage to
wheat and the Argentine crop prospect
is good, although an auSpiclous result
for the season is yet by no means as
sured. News of better weather today
in Argentina was somewhat offset at
times, however, by wintry conditions
north and south of the Canadian line
threatening to delay the movement. of
chases of North American wheat to-
day were estimated at not to exceed
100000 bushels whereas Liverpool
stocks were up to 1,832,000 bushels,
compared with 1,O28,O00 bushels last
week and 100000 bushels a year ago.
Influenced by prediction of rain or

For the most part provisions were
easy, owing to lower quotations on
