How Often Should Your
Furniture Be Polished 2

Housewives differ on the ques-
ton of when TO polish their furni-
ture." Some have no set time for
it-polishing when they think of il
or when, casting glance about,
they decide that the furniture can
"stand it, Others, polish every
cleaning day-which ordinarily
occurs once week. Others dedi-
cate but one day a year to this
important procedure. And still
others, polish the furniture in
their home regularly, once
month. This last group is the
largest-but their schedule is not
sufficiently frequent. Furniture
can not be polished too oftenf
True, the outward benefit of the
best oil polish-the luster-wil

more-but this same polish, with
its light oil base, preserves and
feeds the furniture, revives it,
prolongs its life! So that every
application is highly beneficial to
woodwork and the various pieces
of fine wood in the home. Our
advice, therefore, for the sake of
endurance, as well as appear
ance, of your: furniture, is 'polsh

Rules and Reducing Diets.

There was time, when, if an in
dividual who was overweight con-
suited his physician about reducing
his weight, he was told simply TO
eat less food. This was good ad
vice because less food eaten means
a gradual reduction in weight But
you can readily see that if the
patient reduced only his green veg
etables-cabbage caulifiower, let
tuce, celery-it would make little if
any difference to his weight, but if
he reduced his starch and fat foods
the loss of weight from week TO
week would be quite noticeable.
AS there are some general rules
about reducing that should be more
generally known the American Med
ical association has issued booklet
on weight reducing, some of the
general suggestions of which are:
l. No attempted change in weight,
either addition or reduction of
weight, should be attempted with
out consulting physician.
2. Diet alone should not be used
but a reasonable amount of exer-
else.
3. Each person must be put on an
individual diet, but, generally
speaking, weight loss will be
achieved by a decrease OF from 800
to 1900 calorieS from the previous
diet. This means that as the aver
age overweight woman eats about
2. 400 calories daily. she must cut
down one-third 600 calOries).
4. A person on the first week Of a
reducing diet may show loss of
or pounds, but the amount of de-
crease should establish itself in
about two weeks to not more than
2 pounds per week.
5. In order to be free from too
sharp change. a person should plan
lowered food intake over period
of months mo l8 or 80 Gay reducing
dieO.
| 6. Vitamins should be included:
vitanin A from whole milk, cream.
butter, eggs; and vitamin 3 and c
from fruits and vegetables.
z. There should be sufficient bulk
(from coarse foods-cabbage cauli-
| flower. corn, peas, celery. raw
fruits, fruits with seeds to cause
daiIv bowel movement.
8. Bread, potatoes. and other
starchy foods-sugar, pastry
should be greatly reduced.
9. Butter, cream, fat meats, nuts
egg yolks should be reduced.
10. Excess of jams and jellie
should be avoided.

Six Groups of Food Substances.
What food substances are neces-
sary to build and maintain top
health-to develop the greatest
physical and mental power?
There are six groups of food sub
stances which must be included in
the balanced diet which promises
increased health, happiness and
longevity:
/. PROTEINS which build
and repair body tissues These
are found in such foods as
milk, eggs, meats. fish, cheese
and nuts.
2. FATS which yield heat
and energy. The fats are rep
resented by butter. cream. oils
and the fat of meats
8. CARBOHYDRATES - the
starches and sugars. These
also supply heat and energy.
and are found chiefly in such
foods as bread, potatoes, cere-
ais and sweets.
4. MINERALS which build,
repair, protect and regulate.
Among the minerals which are
absolutely necessary to health
and vigor are calcium, phos-
phorus, iron, copper, iodine,
sulphur, manganese. magne-
sium, sodium and potassium.
These are found in varying
amounts in milk, eggs. fruits.
vegetables, whole grain cere.
ais and meats.
5. VITAMINS which are nee
essary for body regulation, and
as a protection against dread
deficiency diseases. Six have
been discovered to date-A. B.
c, D, E and C.
6. WATER which is a part of
all body tissue and must be
present in order to have the
other food elements function
properly.
