In some respects this plea for

we have the feeling that they asked

not the whole case, but 1t is a
large factor in the white collar

That Is useless. They can't COM

while to repeat a suggestion or two,
which I have been giving here for
years. but only on occasional reader
heeds.
Instead of using -four, use plain
wheat, either entire as II comes

sut your need. This will automati-
cally restore I othe deficient diet
vitamins A, b, G and =, as we'll as

Wheat contains Ave times as much
iron as white -four contains, l have
published here several times good
recipes for various things made Of
plain wheat home ground. Send

dress and ask for the leafet
Wheat to Eat"
Another suggestion which gen.
orally falls on deaf ears is that
everybody should eat more cheese.
Any and every kind of cheese,
whatever you like and can get.
Cottage cheese, Dutch cheese, Am
erican cheese, or any of the various
fancw imported cheese. These are
excellent sources of protein. and
with beans or peas, will completely
compensate for any lack of meat
in the diet.
Finally, this is good time to
remind readers that peanuts are
still among the most nourishing,
healthful, economical staple foods
money can buy. Any kind of cheese
with some peanuts and whatever
green or fresh vegetable happens
to be available, makes asalad At
for a king.
