them plenty Of toe room. The heels
should not be more than one inch

YOU SHOULD EAT WHEAT GERM

= ~N@-~~'.
Germ means sprout, bud, embryo,
birth or origin. The germ Of wheat
Is placed near one end Of the kerr
mel and constitutes one-twentieth OF
the kernel. Modern milling Of white
-four removes not only the bran or
outer coat Of the kernel but also
the germ Is removed. These portions
60 into the middlings which are
used for feeding animals. leaving the
more purely starchy substance OF
the kernel, which constitutes l6
parts to one Of germ in the kernel.
The white flour produced by the
modern milling process Is a good
food, of course. Over Is per cent
Of it is starch, and starch Is as
easily digestible and as nourishing
as sugar. Over 10 per cent Of 1t Is
protein, heterogeneous matter, as
valuable in human nutrition as egg
white, cheese or lean meat. Over
II per cent of the refined white
-four is water. A little more than
1 per cent Of 1t Is fat.
Yet refined white -four would not
support life long II 1t constituted
the only food available. The amounts
of the three food materials neces-
sary for human nutrition are suffi-
cient in white -four, but other ele-
ments which are essential for the
proper assimilation and utilization
Of these three food materials are
not present In white fiour-at least
not in sufficient amount or proper
ton to satisfy the demand Of the
human body. These other elements
which white -four lacks are prin-
cipally vitamin B complex, calcium
PHOSPHORUS and iron.
Referring to the removal Of these
nutritive essentials in the modern
milling process, an authority OWL

against nature when he eats the

that is, vitamin Bl or thiamin, vi

the various other components ma
turally present in the B complex,
and NOT the pure or synthetic b
or thiamin alone, aids in the oxida-
ton or utilization Of carbohydrate

useful in diabetes, for Its enables
the patient to get along with less
insulin than would be necessary on
the ordinary vitamin-poor diet.
The two richest natural sources
of vitamin B complex are wheat
germ and q special strain OF yeast
grown for the purpose (not ordinary
yeast that has been used for brew
ing nor yeast suitable for fermen-
tation.)

example, that dirty -faced little AM

/ In the right direction for any

comes from knowledge. Only If
she is truly understanding of all

plant ner tolerance in her chill

This means that 1t Is important
for every woman to be well read,
expertly informed. She must read
history to know what has gone be-
fore, to appreciate all sides Of ques-
tions. She must read the biographies
Of great men OF other lands than
her own.
"And, of course, she must read her

have ready answer, ana the true
answer, to her child's simple ques-
ton, "Why are we fighting q war

Eyes, I know mothers are busy

"But I have a feeling that 1t
wouldn't do any little boy or girl
real harm to have to appear oc-
