sACCHARIN FOR REDUCING

SACCHARIN FOR REDUCING
 Saccharin is a chemical substance made from coaltar (toluene). Dis- solved in water it is from 300 to 500 times sweater than sugar. A tablet containing one-half grain of 1t is equivalent in sweetening effect to a lump of sugar. Saccharin is the correct spelling q hope-and I don't care what Webster may say about it). Saccharine is an adjective mean ing sickeningly sweet or affectedly sweet-you know, the smile that makes you yearn to administer @ s. k 1. t. p.
 Soluble tablets, each containing one-fourth or one-half grain of sac- charin, are much used for sweeten- ing tea, coffee or varoius fruit or other dishes, by patients with dia- betes who have to limit their intake of sugar.
 Careful investigation of the ef- fleets of using saccharin as 8 sub- stitute for sugar for sweetening, con- ducted by competent physicians and biochemists several years ago, con- firmed the general experience Of physicians that such use of sacchar- in up to total of five grains a day is harmless for any body.
 Oddly enough, If you put too much saccharin in anything 1t tastes un- pleasant or bitter. It seems to give more satisfactory sweetening effect when the least bit is sued. Absent mindedly one morning reached for a biscuit, and instead picked up my saccharin tablets, plopped hand- full into my mouth and began chew ing. If you don't believe it was ter- rible try 1t some time.
 I use saccharin because I'm too fond of sugar, syrup, candy, ice cream and all the other delectable carbohydrates. And the sweetening effect of bit of saccharin in cof- fee or tea is as satisfactory as a lot of sugar. You know, our annual per capita consumption of sugar in the United States is well over 100 pounds, and that is one of the req sons why we get fat so easily. It is also one of the reasons why we get insufficient vitamins.
 To stout people who are trying to reduce and to those who wish to avoid accommodating more stacker flesh, recommend the regular use of saccharin in place of sugar. Every lump or teaspoonful of sug- ar yields approximately 30 calories- not enough to run more than mile on, but still I'd rather enjoy the thirty calories in the form of ice cream, maple syrup or brown Betty. Of course saccharin yields no cal- ories at all.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 AIkaIinizing Food

Prease give a list of alkalinizing foods for the benefit of us poor acid flied critters. Have been on such a diet for three months, for neuritis, weak heart, great weakness, loss of appetite. (Mrs. R)
 Answer-Dried beans, beets, ba- nanas. peaches, oranges, dried peas, apples, almonds, cabbage, cauliflow- CT. milk. potatoes, turnips asparagus corrots, celery, entrants, raisins, lemons leave alkaline ash. Sugar cream, butter, lard, cornstarch. tap- ioca leave neutral ash. Bread, corn, crackers, eggs, fish. meat, oatmeal, peanuts. plums. prunes. rice leave acid ash. Perhaps large daily in- take of vitamin B-complex would help you more than alkalinizing food.
 Is drinking water containing lime bad for the system? Or does lime in drinking water help as much as lime in such health foods as milk, eggs. cheese, peas, beans, wheat, etc.? How is lime watersmade? (Mrs. 6. L.)
 Answer-If the water is satisfactory to taste it is immaterial how much lime 1t contains. I do not know whether the lime (calcium) in water is assimilated by the body. To make lime water, put . plece of unslaked
