"Acid Cabbage"

Sauerkraut is a valuable art1'
Gle of food which can be used
extensively if the members Of
the family relish it. This popu-

Food Budget
BY JAMES ". BARTON, NJ. D.

r EALIZING the national i'm
portance of nutrition or the
proper feeding Of the people, the
British Medical Association set up
special committee to determine the
minimum or very lowest weekly ex-
penditure on foodstuffS by families
Of varying size. to maintain health
and ability to work. This commit
tee was also instructed to construct
specimen diets that would fill this
need.
1t found that there were no COM
plete or satisfactory tables or specl-
men diets available, but decided that
while a man who was not working
could get along with 5000 calories
cheat units) of food daily. one who
was employed required 300 calories.
The figure for adult women was
2,84O calories and for children 1000
for youngsters to 2 years OF age and
5000 for ages II to IA, thus showing
that it is natural for youngsters at
this age to eat about as much as their
parents.
The committee found that the
majority of the workingmen's fam
lilies were eating about the right
quantities of the various foodStuffs.
except that where the money was in
sufficient for food, the housewife was
giving q little less meat and butter
than were really necessary. and filling
the stomachs on the cheaper starchy
foods-potatoes and bread. The COM
mon fault, if any, was not giving the
youngsters enough meat or eggs.
Similarly the Bureau of Home
Economics of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture maintains
that the family should have food
budget and balance the daily food
intake properly. This is very neces-
sary where the available funds are
low. They suggest that weekly
market list, made up wisely, can be
used to make sure of a balanced diet
as well as balanced budget.
Thus, in very practical way, they
put the food into five groups. These
are milk and milk products; vege-
tables and fruits; bread and cereals;
fats and sugars; meats, fish and
eggs.
"One should spend, of every dollar
SO cents for milk and cheese; 25 for
vegetables and fruits; 20 for cereals
bread and beans; u for fats, sugar
and molasses, and 10 for meat, fish
and eggs"
This Is an excellent diet arrange
ment. Perhaps about to cents
more of each dollar-13 to Is cents
might well be spent on meat, eggs
md fish-animal protein-where the
children are in their teens.

.Nen's Queries
BY EMILY POST

DEAR Mrs. Post: You have said
that no gentleman would think
OF kissing young, unmarried 1ady's
hand. viii you explain why you said
this?"
Answer: I did not put it quite that
way. As I remember, I commented
on mistake often made in the
movies, when an actor playing the
part Of a European formally greets
the unmarried heroine by kissing her
hand. A man may very well think
| Of kissing q young girls hand-and
her face, tOo-which is beside the
point. And q man might very well
kiss any girls hand as q gesture of
affection. But kissing the hand,
which is merely the formal European
way Of saying How do you do" to a
married lady, Is not at all the proper
way Of greeting a young girl.
my dear Mrs. Post: You reply to
the young foreign man, to the effect
that he is right in believing that kind
ness Is the first essential in etiquette,
that even rules for behavior which
seem unimportant have kindness as
their basic principle in putting others
at ease. think your answer fails
to be specific enough to cover the in
quiry. Won't you please make 1t clear
that courtesy does not permit him to
disregard the conventions of behavior"
Answer Il am sorry that my
answer was not clear. But it seemed
to me that, In agreeing with him that
the intention behind the rules was
more important than to learn mechan-
ical rules by heart, I did not imply
that he was to pay no attention to our
exactions OF courtesy. On the con-
,, traryI
Dear Mrs. Post: My brother is to
be married this Summer. He has
asked friend to be best man, but,
of course, am invited to the wedding.
1t is my impression that a man
always chooses his brother before a
friend, and I am wondering whether
my presence at his wedding, without
serving as his best man, would give
rise to any embarrassment There is
no breach between us and it seems
strange that he should have made
these arrangements"
Answer-It is true that man
usually chooses his brother for best
man, just as girl usually chooses
her sister for maid of honor, but not
invariably, and very often not, If
there Is much difference in ages. I
can't answer the question very well
without knowing more Of the circum-
stances. But know you would be in
hn
wedding, or to let any one think that
you feel the situation embrassing.

IN SOUTHERN GERMANY is a
CITY called Heidelberg. 1t has a
population of about $4,000, and
i Is famed as the home Of uni
versity and of an old, partly
ruined castle.
Heidelberg is old, but it is not
nearly SO old as a human bone found
in a sandpit 10 miles east of the city.
The discovery was made in 1907 at
a depth of 78 feet 1t IS a lower jaw
bone, of strange shape-it does not
have a chin" There are teeth in it,
however, and they show that the jaw
bone belonged to a human being.
Twenty years later, new discov-
cry at the sandpit brought forth leg
bones and other remains of a man
We are not sure that they belonged
to the same person as the jaw bone,
but it Is quite possible.
The remains are spoken of as 'the
Heidelberg Man" Some scientists be-
lieve that he dates back about 250,0
years ago
The sandpit near Heidelberg has
yielded the bones Of wild animals.
These include the lion, the elephant
and the rhino.

skeletons have been found in dozens

Combination Suitable for Any Hour Of Day
Lingerie Designers Find Need
of Molding Figure for
New Silhouette.
With Absence of Unnecessary
Seams, Has Materials as
Varied as Possible.
BY BARBARA BELL.

-HE streamline silhouette Of the

signers to work thinking up
ideas on how to mold our
figures into the 1.-the, grace
full curves that the present-day fash
ions require them to have, for no
gown, they tell us. is quite indepen-
dent of the undergarment.
The little all-in-one wisp of gar
ment, sketched, is veritable treasure
for simplified construction. 1t is an
exact copy of the combination worn
by the mannequins who model in one
of the most exclusive establishments
in New York. The secret Of its sue
cess is the absence Of unnecessary
seams 1t is cut in only two pieces,
the panel front is cut on the length
of the material and the back on the
cross-wise. which brings the side seam
we'll toward the front and eliminates
disfguring wrinkles over the thighs.
The results are smooth waist, .
fat diaphragm and svelt hips.
Though cut low in the back, this
combination is suitable for any hour
of the day. The new Summer frocks,
being made backless, call for this con-
struction The confusing situation of
skirt lengths is met with petticoats,
each one made an inch or so shorter
than the dress it is to be worn with.
Materials for lingerie are as varied
as fashion itself This season almost
any fabric may be used. Satin re-
mains a favorite with most women
for garments worn next to the skin.
Cottons are gaining in popularity, but
because of the laundry work that is
involved, are considered a luxury.
The cool comfort they afford in warm
weather, however, cannot be denied.
