DIET AND HEALTH
BY LULU HUNT PETERS, NJ. d.

I was having lunch with a friend

with. why, doctor, how can you eat
anything made of white four2 Don't
you. of all people. know that white

AS her notion Is fairly widespread. I
want TO point out the fallacy Of the
idea White bread. polished rice. white
sugar and other highly refined prod
ucts are not poisonous. 1t is true that
they have been largely demineralized
and devitaminized. but they are still
good fuel foods. and will not poison in
the slightest degree unless they are
taken IN such excess that not enough
other foods which would supply their
deficiencies can be taken However.
II liberal amounts of fruits and vege-
tables and the proper amounts Of milk,
meat and eggs are taken, there Is no
reason why those who like white bread
and polished rice should not take them
II they want them.
Another count against the excess
consumption of white bread. polished
rice and other purified products Is
that they leave an ac4d-ash. But for
that matter. 50 do all grains. whole or
refined. The diet should have a pre-
ponderance Of the alkali-ash foods

unteered information which led to a
mistrial of the first Sinclair-Fall oil

In judging an automatic refrigerator, cur.

consideration.
Frigidaire household cabinets
are artistically beautiful
Frigidaire's mechanical superiority is
matched by the design of its cabinets.
Beauty Of line, proportion, finish and color
ing combine TO make Frigidaires strikingly
beautiful. The fact that in household
models all mechanical parts are completely
enclosed, that the smooth, cleaning ex.
terror surface Is as easily cleaned as china
plate, that there Is nothing to catch dust,
grease or dirt, is thoroughly appreciated by
any woman. Frigidaire's beauty and clean
appearance is one of the great factors in
making IL the choice of home owners.

beautifully etched, satin finish hardware
Of new design. Other models are offered in
Duco. All fit perfectly into the decorative
scheme Of the modern kitchen.
Frigidaire food shelves are at a
convenient, comfortable height
Frigidaire household cabinets are not only
beautiful, but practical. The arrangement

shelf is sufficiently elevated from the floor
to eliminate the necessity of extreme stoop.
