Questions for a Homemaker

believe that every homemaker
owes it to her family to pause for
a few moments at this season to
look backwards along the road
that she and her family have trav-
eled in recent months.
Have you taken advantage OF
the knowledge offered by modern
nutritional science? Can you con-
scientiously say with conviction
that you have given your husband
and children all the different food
elements that are necessary for
buoyant, radiant health?
If you have grown as you should
in the past year and no
homemaker who is doing a really
first class job ever remains static
she moves with the times q.
then it is inevitable that there has
been a gradual change in the char
acter of the food that you have
put ON your table three times a
day. But can you feel confident
those meals have been right in
every respect? Have they included
the necessary protein, fats, carbo-
hydrates? Have they included at
least IL minerals; the six known
vitamins; and sufficient bulk or
cellulose to help maintain regular
health habits?

AROUND
THE HOUSE

Safeguarding the Baby.-Inspect
baby's toys before putting them
in his crib or pen to be sure there
are no loose fragments, such as
eyes, buttons, bits of wood, ETC.,
that might be pulled off and swal-
lowed.
Fire Hazard.-The basement is
one of the chief danger places in
the house from the fire stand
point, It should be kept free from
accumulations of infiammable ma
terials such as paper, old boxes,
oily and paint-soaked rags, and
trash.
Drying Fur Garments.-Damp
fur garments should be dried in a
cool current of air, never near a
radiator or other source of heat.
A Dyeing Help.-The household
washer is ideal for dyeing cur
tains, draperies and other articles
made of fabrics that can be col
ored with tints that do not re-
quire boiling. You can let the
washer run until the articles are
sufficiently and evenly colored.

prowess and mental superiority
may result only when the table
is set with luxuries! On the con-
trary, malnutrition, which means
not necessarily under-nutrition but
improper nutrition, is found in the
homes of the wealthy as well as
in the homes of the underprivi-
legged. The power of food is de-
termined, not SO much by what
you spend, as by what you choose.
One need not spend a great deal
for food to provide the milk and
other dairy products, fruits and
vegetables that should be con-
sumed in abundance. There is al
ways evaporated milk for those
who do not care to buy bottled
milk, or who prefer to use it as a
supplement to bottled milk. And
since large numbers of fruits and
vegetables are now in season prac-
tically throughout the year, it is
almost always possible to choose

Questions Answered

Mrs. X. Mc.N.-You should in
clude at least two rich sources of
each of the vitamins in your
menus every day. It is also inn
rortant to serve some raw food,
as for example, a salad, in plan
ming the diet of persons in normal
health. Use fruits literally and
provide a pint of milk for each,
adult, a quart for every child,
either as a beverage or in
cooked dishes.

Time TO Take Inventory

Do not be too discouraged if you
cannot answer yes to all of these
questions, because the chances
are that many other homemakers
may also find it necessary to give
a partially negative answer. Moth
ers especially are busy people,
and many of them feel that it is
difficult to keep pace, as they
would like to do, with the fast
moving science of nutrition.
Now, during this season which
brings us the beginning of a new
year, now is a time-after taking
inventory of what you have or
have not done-to look forward, to
survey the road that lies ahead.
Before every wife and mother
hangs the curtain of the future
that will be slowly drawn aside,
revealing the destiny of herself,
her husband and her children, as
the, future becomes the present,
as tomorrow becomes today.
And as your loved ones travel
the road of life, it is you who have
it in your power to help them at
tain strong vigorous bodies; alert,
efficiently working minds.
Now is the time for you to de-
termine to make the power of food
their power, so that they shall not
flag in their travels along the high
way, but draw new strength for
each days journey every time
they sit down at your table, sit
down, as I have said before, to
Life!
The Tremendous Power Of Food
What they are going to be to-
morrow is indeed influenced by
what they eat today, for there
never was truer statement than
that man is what he eats. And

Mountaineering foods that are in

Be II Resolved:

should, therefore, like to urge
every homemaker to make at
least one New Years resolution:
to resolve that she will build her
family diet in 1889 first of all
around the protective foods, milk,
eggs, fruits and vegetables.
It will be my privilege each
week to help interpret for you the
amazing discoveries Of nutritional
science; and to show how you can
utilize the newer knowledge of nu-
triton to help increase the mental
and physical efficiency of your
family.
Together then, let us resolve to
travel along the highroad of we'll
being in 1889.
