They should realize also that one
can suffer from dietary deficien-
cies and live. =. though he may
not live well! A man can exist
upon much less than the amount
of iron required for normal
health but he probably can
not escape secondary anemia. He
may be able to get along on a
meager supply of vitamins {.
but the chances are that his vital
ity will be greatly diminished. And
he will face the constant threat of
disease that follows in the wake
of lowered resistance.
Nothing is more foolish than to
suppose that what a man eats is
entirely his own business! It is a
matter Of grave concern to his
wife and children. For it has been
suggested that fully one-hah Of
the illnesses of the American peo-
pie may be traceable directly, or
indirectly, to dietary deficiencies.
Let no man, therefore, twit his
wife for trying to feed him cor

the Presidents secretary, guardian
and sometimes hostess. Although
the 1889 version executive mansion
still has its rigidly formal diplo-
matte banquets, sample evening

cabinet member, novelist. la
: Dor leader and two or three mis-
cellaneous visitors.
Then, too, the President is hob
byist. It takes heap of shelf
space to hold his ship models, and
his stamp collection provides fra
ternal tie with another group.
Popularity Stin Stands.
The essence of this discussion is
that President Roosevelt still main
tains his personal popularity even
though most people think his New
Deal has gone through the wringer
via court rebuffs and congressional
perverseness. Whether this has
happened is debatable; most of his
advocated principles have actually
been adopted. Still to come, pro-
vided congress is willing, are more
measures along these liberal lines,
plus amendments and corrections
to existing Legislation.
The President maintains we were
something like 80 years behind
when he took office in 1888. Most
of that time has been caught up
but we've still few years to 60.
Answering critics who maintain he
has forced reforms too abruptly,
Mr.. Roosevelt points out that Lloyd
George did an even more radical
job in England Is years ago.
Hallway through his second term,
the President has yet to settle the
issue of third term, but keen OBJ
servers think he really wants it. As
before he will probably jump if the
chances look good, and another
precedent will 60 smash. The core
of this problem is that he wants the
New Deal program preserved above
all else; if another man can do it,
fine. If not it must be Roosevelt.
For obvious reasons this points to
third term. First, New Deal and
Roosevelt are inseparable in the
public mind. Second, last autumn's
purge" failure showed what the
Presidents magnetic personality
can do for himself, it cannot do
for others.

They have made the most

that six years have not dulled

the New Deal. Whether pro or con,
arguments are still as heated, still

Balancing the BIG Meal

Whether the main meal of the
day is served at noon or at night,
it should be well-balanced, to help
safeguard health, and appetizing,
to make it so enjoyable that it will
be digested efficiently.
1t should be built first of all
around a protein food: meat;
fresh, canned, or quick-frozen
fish; cheese, chicken, an egg dish,
or a casserole of hearty baked
beans. There should be an energy
food such as sweet or white DO
tatoes, rice, macaroni, or noodles,
though frequently this can be COM
bined with the protein food, as in
cheese macaroni or beef stew. For
variety and palate pleasure, &C.
casionally serve baked bananas.
They rank as an energy food, and
also contribute important miner
ais and vitamins.

Rounding Out Days Nutrition

Whether the third meal of the
day is lunch or supper in your
household, it should round out the
days nutrition. If you need to
get more milk into the diet, let
your lunch or supper include
cream soup. If you haven't served
eggs previously during the day,
choose souffie or a dish contain
ing creamed eggs. A starchy
food, salad, a dessert and a bev-
erage will complete meal that
both satisfies the appetite and
meets nutritional requirements.
II is not difficult to obtain the
days quota Of minerals, vitamins,
ceIlulose, protein, carbohydrates
and fats. These substances are
to be found in delicious, whole
some foods. All yen need to re-
member is not to serve too much
Of one food and too little of an
other.
Let the balanced diet be your
ideal-and cold weather will prove

WHAT to EAT and WHY

minis A, B, G., and sometimes C..
These may be alternated with the
yellow vegetables which are par
ticularly notable for their vitamin
A. Don't overlook onions-they
are inexpensive, and fine source
of bulk. Served raw, they provide
a substantial amount of vitamin c,
the vitamin for which we espe-
cially prize oranges, grapefruit
and tomatoes.
Include salad at dinner, lunch
or supper; it is well for most nor
NAL individuals to eat some raw
food daily. In cold weather, dress
it generously with salad dressing
for extra fuel value.
Dessert may be pie, pudding or
gelatin. The choice depends part
ly upon the other foods served at
dinner, partly upon the dessert
to be served at the third meal of
the day. But here is a good gen.
eral rule to follow. Serve a fruit
dessert at one meal-and a pud-
ding containing milk at the other.
of course, the fruit need not be
served plain unless you wish.
Fruit pies are splendid for cold
weather meals, fruit and gelatin
combine nicely, and fruit may be
Incorporated in cakes, as in apple
sauce cake.

But don't imagine for a moment
that correct eating and good eat

true that there is no time of year
when correct eating is more i'm

that there is no time of year when
good eating is more distinctly in

These are the days when break
fasts must be especially hearty
to satisfy keen appetites, to
provide generous amounts of fuel
or energy values. That means ce-
