DIET AND HEALTH

starch of potatoes is chemically the
same as the starch In bread, and all
fruits and vegetables contain some
starch. If you want to take your
starchy foods from different sources,
you needn't be afraid, provided you
don't overeat of them. The same state
ment applies to the proteins, for chemi-
cally all proteins are the same Diges-
ton of each substance takes place just
the same If alone or mixed with others.
1t occasionally happens that some
food will disagree and certain combina-
tons will disagree, but these are excep-
tons and should not be laid down with
some absurd reasoning attached for
others to follow.
Small Jumps and Blotchy Skin.

likely the wrong diet, or there may bs

Why Hatters Go Mad.

No matter what your line may be, if
you're human you can't please every
body. Don't I know?
A Nebraska reader sends in a clip
ping which appears to be an ad. The
item informs us that physicians, ath-
letic instructors and other persons Of
experience over the country are con-
demning the craze of going bare
headed. This craze originated in che
colleges, the item points out-enough
and it is fast declining as IAN excuse
for either not buying or not taking care
of proper headwear"
In the old days whiskers were never
attacked by the haberdaShers who found
themselves stuck with a lot of nifty
neckwear. But then, haberdasherS are
not necessarily mad, or If they ever do
get mad they don't get as mad as a
halter.
My opinion of this hatless fad is that
1t is healthful one. Not only is 1t a
hygienic habit to go bareheaded at all
times when one is reasonably comfort
able without lid. but believe 1t is
excellent for the hair. If the bare
headed individual finds snow, rain or
extreme cold uncomfortable, he still has
enough sense to raise an umbrella or
put on whatever covering or protecting
clothing he prefers.
A writer created considerable concern
year or two ago by telling the world
that the bare-headed fad exposed the
brain to the risk of grave injury in the

0ccupational Therapy.

Don't be alarmed at the term If you
haven't heard it. It's simple idea and
a good one: it's nothing more or less

large scale and with great success TO

by putting the mind to useful and in

hold 1000 persons, arranged as a
Christmas bazaar with tables and walls
filled with objects of handicraft.

converted to useful purposes, and re-
member that these hundreds of textiles
were made by patients whom we indis-

For this hall is the assembly hall

Two Starches Eaten Together.


You know how many times I have
told you that there is p lot of balder-
dash written about food combinations.
Now have unwittingly given the i'm
preston that I hold with some of these
fads.
A short time ago an italian woman
wrote that she weighed around $50 and
wanted to reduce, but she was having
difficulty because she was fond of bread
and spaghetti. In my advice to her I
said that she must never eat spaghetti
and bread % other Starchy food at the
same meal.
Today / have letter from one of
the readers, Mrs. W., who clipped this
article from the column, underlined
that sentence and asked "Why?" She
had thought that taking two or more
starches at the same meal might bring
the quantity up too high, but that a
person who longed to eat bread and
butter with any other starchy food could
do so, provided he ate less of each food
My answer, coupled with that of an
other doctor TO the effect that COM
mon error in diet was the combination
of different Starches, has made her be-
lieve that possibly there is some chemi.
cal <cc1on for not combining two
starcpes at the same meal. Is there?
No, Mrs. W., there is no chemica
rlason why two starches should not bt
eaten together. The reason I gave oul
italian friend instructions not to ea
bread and spaghetti at the same mea
was the same you have thought of
that she would be apt to have too mucf
starchy food at that meal, and wher
one is reducing one must cut down OIL
starches materially.
cannot repeat too often that an,
food which agrees when taken alonl
will agree when taken with another foot

She did not want to wear any more
