This and other questions of Q similar nature were systematically placed before . large number of men in representative colleges all over the United States. While the magazine made no pretense of conducting . scientific survey. the overwhelming response which 1t received can cer. tainiy be regarded as an authentic trend in popular opinion. It D an
 amazing commentary on present day standards of attractiveness that these men gave "distniction." neat ness" and "styie" secondary posi- tions to vitality" while beauty" rated only sixth place in the list of seven qualities. Perhaps in 50 doing these college men uncon. sciously reflected an appreciation Of vigor as . necessary basis for their own success and enjoyment in life.

 Vitamins and minerals have gain- cd in prestige since nutritional science has discovered them to be Of such great importance in our bodyB fnetabolism. Housewives are devoting more time to the planning and serving of menus containing the proper proportion of the food essentials. Whc nthese American families or any member of them cat in restaurants and hotels they na- turally demand meals which reach the standard of those served in their homes.
 Meals according to the old sched- ule of bread, meat. potatoes and gravy have lost favor unless vege- tables, Q salad and a glass of milk are included to balance the meal according to scientific recommenda- ton. That restaurateurs recognize this change can be observed from the different types of meus which eating houses are offering their pa- irons. Head lettuce or other vege- table salads are present on the menu. The choice of averages in. cludes milk or hot chocolate made with milk along with the other popular drinks.
 Knowledge Essential
 Probably no more forceful state. mcnt of the food nutrition vitality and health relationship exists than that made recently by Sherman. He says: Present knowledge of nutri- ton and food values plainly shows tho way, first to the avoidance of nutritional deficiencies and then to the attainment of higher levels of health than we would otherwise enjoy =. there is no limit at present in sight or practicable, to the cx- tent to which. by taking thought and usin gthe guidance which science now offers, one way build to ever higher levels of positive health. of efficient service, and of resultant satisfaction fin life.
