We know today why their efforts
met with little success. For we
have learned what they could not
knOw-that the best possible tonic
is a carefully chosen diet rich in
minerals and vitamins.
In those days, the science OF
nutrition was in its infancy. Vita
minis were still undiscovered, and
there was much that we had not
learned about the role of the min
eral salts in regulating body proc
esses. No wonder mothers grasped
at any mixture that promised to
put roses back into the cheeks OF
their anemic-looking children.
How lucky we are today! For
science has taught us what we
should eat to help increase pep
and vitality, and build rich red
blood. And modern methods OF
transportation, refrigeration, food
preservation and packaging, have
made the necessary foods easily
available. 1t merely remains for
the homemaker to acquaint her.
self with the nutritional needs OF
her family.
Enrichine the Blood
The blood is frequently impov-
erished by the time spring puts in
an appearance. That is not sur
prising, for in many households
the winter diet contains a prepon-
derance of carbohydrates and
fats, with far too few of the pre-
cious minerals and vitamins. II
is often deficient in iron, the min
eral that is required for the for
nation of the hemoglobin or red
pigment in the blood, and in cop
per, which is required for the
proper utilization of iron.
InaSmuch as 8 per cent of the
blood cells are destroyed daily, il
is obvious that unless adequate
amounts of iron-rich foods are
available to replace them, the
number will soon become sub.
normal. Moreover, it has been
found that many minor disturb
ances of the body cause a loss of
iron, and that mild infections are
a common cause of iron loss.
Thus, individuals who have been
consuming a diet that is barely
adequate in respect to iron may
find themselves on the borderline
of iron deficiency following an in
lection.
lron-Rich Foods
Every homemaker, therefore,
should make a determined effort
to include plenty of iron-rich foods
in her menus. These foods in
clude liver, eggs, whole grain &C.
reals, dried fruits, lean meats and
green leafy vegetables.

IF YOU have not already been

Colors that lead? Answering the

Mrs. F. Nj. T.-Vitamin B is

be essential for the prevention of
certain nervous disorders. 1t also
helps to promote appetite, and aid
digestion. Fruits and vegetables

amounts of vitamin B. Other

Exercise and Fresh Air
Two more splendid antidotes for
the let-down feeling that comes at
this season are moderate exercise
and fresh air. The proper use Of
the muscular system is important
to health and vitality. yet many
people go through the winter TAX
ing far too little exercise.
In general, you will eat better,

at the same time more relaxed, if
you make a point of getting out

Lavender Favorite Perfume

Lavender is one of the favorite
perfumes the world over and enor-
nous quantities of the dried flowers
are used annually to make the per-
fune and other lavender products.
The yield of oil varies from year
to year depending on the weather
and the age of the bushes. The
plants are very tender to any frost.
The oil has to be stored from three
to five years before it is sufficiently
matured for use in the perfumery
and other trades.

phasized too strongly, for they
tend somewhat to be crowded out
of the winter diet by the starchy
and fatty foods which provide
more heat and energy. And in
vestigatiOns with children have
demonstrated that when vegeta-
bles and fruits are limited, there
is certain sluggishness of blood
formation. Green vegetables not
only supply iron in significant
amounts, but their iron has been
found to be especially well abb
sorbed from the digestive tract.
Eat More Greens
Right now it is most important
to provide large amounts of dan
delion greens, spinach, kale,
chard, watercress, lettuce and
green cabbage. Serve a cooked
green vegetable at one meal each
day and a generous green salad
at another.
Top the salad with fruit, if you
want to add more minerals and
vitamins segmentS of orange
or grapefruit, slices of banana or
pineapple, or a mixture of apple
and celery.
These fruits also supply impor-
tant minerals and vitamins, and
like the green vegetables, they
leave an alkaline ash following di-
gestion, and therefore help to
maintain the acid-base balance Of
the body.
Plenty of Bulk Required
There is still another reason
why green vegetables and fruits
should be consumed in liberal
quantities. These foods, along
with whole grain cereals, provide
an abundance of bulk or cellulose
which is necessary to help pro-
mote regularity. They tend to off
set the effects of a too highly con-
centrated winter diet. Very often

ly called spring fever, can be over.

er proportion of these naturally
laxative foods.
It's also desirable to take an
adequate supply of fluids to help
flush the system of waste. In addi-
ton to generous amount of wa
ter, there should be a pint of milk
daily for every adult, a quart for
every child, and fruit juices in
abundance. Orange juice, grape.

Watering the Ropes'

In 1889 in Rome, during the cree
ton of the obelisk in st. Peters
square, a sailor named Bresca
shouted to the workmen to water
the ropes and thus saved the giant
shaft from crashing to the ground.
Although he had disobeyed the or
der of Pope Sixtus v for complete
silence during the ceremony, Bres-
ca was rewarded with the perpetu-
al right to supply palms to St. Pc
ter's on Palm Sunday. And his pos
terity carries on the custom, says
