Diet and
Health
By DR.. Logan Clendening

Everyone agrees, I think, that
in retaining health the most
important element over which
We have control is a proper
diet. Instruction to the public
on this vital subject has, how
ever, been badly confused: part
ly by the employment of mis-
understood or technical terms
a whirl of calorieS, grams.
vitamins, proteins, etc.; partly
by extravagant claims for the
value Of certain dietary bal
ances; and especially by the
preachings of ignorant faddists
who destroy confidence in
wholesome articles Of food by
claiming they will cause certain
diseases.
The fundamental principles
Of dietetics are, however, quite
simple. Let us reduce them 10
the simplest possible form.
Four Qualities Needed
A healthy diet for a normal
individual must have four quail
tiles. which are, in the order Of
their importance: /, sufficiency;
2, cleanliness; 3, balance; 4
bulk.
l. Enough. Naturally, the
first consideration. 1t varies
with age, size of the body, and
activity. A Packard car needs
more gasoline than an Austin.
Your car needs less gasoline
when you simply drive to the
movies than when you tour
across the State. Your body
acts the same way.
There is only one way Of
measuring the "enoughness" Of
food. Not by bulk. Highest
gasoline is better, ounce by
ounce, than low test. The unit
of food value is the calorie-
much as the word has been
banded about it must be ur1-
derstood to know dietetics. Diff
ferent foods yield different
amounts of calories-fats about
twice as much as StarcheS or
proteins. In general, depending
upon age, weight and activity
an adult uses from 1000 to
1000 calories day.
Your Food Regulator
The appetite is a delicate reg
ulator of the amount of food
you need. Naturally for most
people the big meal of the day
comes at night, at the end Of
activity. In most American
homes half the daily food ra.
ton is eaten in the evening,
3 third at noon, and a sixth
at breakfast.
2. Cleanliness. This means
principally that the food must
be free from germs.
8. Balance. An adequate diet
must contain six chemical va
rieties of substances: /, proteins
Gin general, this means animal
foods-meat, eggs and milk
but many vegetables also con-
tain large amounts Of protein,
such as beans, peas and nutS);
2, starches and sugars, found
in vegetables, fruits, cereals,
bread, etc.; 3, fats; 4, water:
5, minerals-there is salt in all
tissues, iron in the blood, cal
cium in the bones, phosphorus
in the brain, ETC., and all have
to be supplied; 6, vitamins
found in fruits, vegetables, yeast
and animal fats, which increase
resistance, promote proper
growth and, in popular Ian
guage, blood purity.
OF the three energy-giving di-
visions of the diet. the truly
balanced diet should have one
half starches and sugars. one
fourth protein and one-fourth
fat.
4. Bulk, or roughage, conSti-
tutes the non-absorbable parts
of the food, necessary for
proper elimination by bowel.

The Marry
Go-Round
By Helen Rowland
The LOve-Addict

The LOve-Addict
Don't marry a love-addict.
The world seems to be full Of
them today. Love-addicts, like
dope-fiends and drink-addicts,
can never be cured.
A man who can never resist
the "come-hither" CLINT in any
woman's eye, will limp down to
the grave in pursuit of some
new adventure or some new
woman. Rheumatism cannot
halt him in the love-chaSe; and
the harder his arteries, the
softer his heart and head.
A girl who can't make her
eyes behave, and whose heart
always skips q beat at the sight
Of every new and perS0nable
man, will 90 right on following
her game" when she is ready
for the wheel-chair. No we'd
ding ring and no wedding vows
will bind her errant fancy or
deaden her craving for admira-
tiOn, attention, and a new fIirta-
ton.
The masculine love-addict can
never become a one-woman
man; he is not even a one
woman-at-a-time man. He puts
the new glove on right over the
old, and mixes his women and
his emotions as he would never
think of mixing his drinks.
He may love only one woman
in the world or love one woman
better than all the others in the
world-but the invitation in an
other woman's eye, like the
sound of the bugle to an old
war-horse, will always stir him
to prompt response and make
him restless.

stantly wandering afar, in
search of adventure, romance
and novelty. He can't help it
it's just a weakness i'm his ma
ture, like the weakness in an.
other mans nature for strong
drink or gaudy neckties.
Love-addicts, like poets, are
born that way. But also as
with poets, it requires years Of
practice and devotion to their
speciality, before they become
real artists. And, by that time,
it is just automatic with them.
The woman love.addict Graves
only conquest, and she cannot
resist vamping every male she
meets, from her husbands best
friend to the grocery boy and
the iceman.
She begins in her cradle, by
vamping her own grandfather,
and never stops until she has
to put on bifocals to see a man
approaching.
All this may be very exciting
and intriguing in a sweetheart.
1t keeps you on the qui vive,
before marriage, and puts a
lot of pep into the cOurtShip.
Uncertainty adds ZeSt to the
chase and makes the capture
more triumphant.
But, after marriage, it wears
out your nerves, wears down
your pride and your self esteem,
utterly wrecks your vanity, and
fills you with suspicion and an
inferiority complex.
What marriage should bring
is peace Of mind and tran

your pride, your beauty sleep

Advice to the
LoveIorn
Don't Force the Issue

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A friend Of mine met a young
man recently and seems to care
a great deal for him. He made
a date with her and, for bust
ness reasons, could only spend
a short while with her. On
leaving he made another date,
but failed to keep it and she
has not heard from him since.
She saw him at the beach and
he spoke to her and passed
right by. Would it be proper
for her to call him and find
out why he didn't call, or
should she let the matter drop?
WORRIED.
It seems to me a mistake to
force the issue when a young
man acts like that. The world
is full of interesting young men.
I hope you will try and forget
this one and find another
friend who has better manners.

Bosses to Use Public

NEW YORK.-The reactionary

by a united front of Jews, Catholics
and Protestants,
An "Interfaith Committee has
been able to persuade" the District

cratic right and that Bible instruc-
ton in capitalist democracy is not
only right but necessary. The same
arguments are used by the bosses who
control the schools to put over COM
pulsory military training.
The working class, through the
Pioneers, Women'S Councils, Tenants
Leagues and all other workers Or

agitation to defeat this plan of the
bosses to poison the youth, The ex-
tent to which the plan has made

NECKTIE UNION
Helps Boss Put Over a
Wage Cut

NEW YORK-The United Neck
wear Workers Union of New York,
which entered into deal with the
Arthur Seigman Inc, necktie manu-
factuer. to cut wages and was
double by the bosses, is now
suing the firm for $4,000.
Fearing a strike of the workers
when the Wage-eut was announced
the bosses and their manager, Ru-
dolph Desacarras. hit on plan to
capture leadership. Desacarras ar
ranged for a walkout of the shop,
which went into effect on Feb on
the promise that the workers would
be given back their jobs in body
This so-called temporary lay-off was
to serve as the excuse for putting
over the wage-cut.
When the notice of the wage-cut
was posted in the shop 800 workers
walked out on strike, despite the
bosses and the union deal.
Now the union is sueing the bosses
because it has been compelled to
pay strike benefit of $40 a week to
the workers. The strike is still on
and the amount of strike benefit is
mounting steadily, therefore the move
on the part of the company union to
try and collect $4,000 damages from
the employers.
