the proper fuel had not been pro-
vided.
Physical fitness is a far greater asset
than material possessions. For in times
of stress and trouble, those ,uho can
stand up under the physical strain win
the battle. For those vho collapse, all
is lost.
The Homemaker's Responsibility.
Every wife and mother is there
fore faced with the tremendous
responsibility of keeping her fam
lily mentally and physically fit.
Her husband must have the right
kind of food in order to earn a
living. Her own diet must be
adequate and well-balanced if
she is to have the energy, wis
dom, and patience required of a
mother at all hours of the day.
Her baby will not grow into a
healthy man or woman unless he
or she has the right nourishment
from the moment of birth. And
school children can't keep up with
their classes without the right
food.
If you will follow this series of
articles, and put into practice the
principles of correct eating that
I advocate, l can promise that
you will increase both mental and
physical efficiency, and as a re-
suit, achieve greater health and
happiness for every member of
your family.
Food Affects Your Body and Mind
Each morning when you awake,
a new life is ahead of you.
Whether that day and the days to
follow will be better or worse
than those that went before. de-
Ponds largely upon what you eat.
For nothing short of a miracle is
performed at every meal.
Within a few hours the bread,
meat, vegetables and liquids that
you swallow are transformed into
your personality. They begin to
think, feel and act. They become
YOU. What was food yesterday,
today is carrying on the impor-
tant business Of the world, run
ming banks, operating machines,
porting over school books, or car
rying on that most important of
all works, the making and keeping
of a home.
Each meal that you eat helps or hin.
ders the efficiency and ease with which
these various duties are performed.
That is why it is true that as you eat, so
you are. And that is ,vhy say that three
times day, at your table, you SIT
DOWN TO LIFE.

Speaking of Sports

Solution to
Yank Menace
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

w ITH anti-monopoly and trust
w busting movements abroad in
the land, baseball men generally
would welcome with three rousing
cheers any formula that would eff
fectively break up the pennant
monopoly of the New York Yankees.
Winners of the American league
pennant and the worlds series in
1896 and 1887, Joe McCarthy's YAM
KEGS look like such sure-ire repeat
ers again this year in both fields
that there seems to be little chance
of heading them off.
But in the future it is obvious
that something must be done to
improve other clubs in the Ameri-
can and National leagues-particu-
larry the last three teams in each
circuit-if national interest in the
national sport is to be maintained.
The tailenders are so hopelessly out
of the pennant race from the start
that the most ardent followers lose
interest.
