try more than vegetables as the main source of carbohydrate ma terial in the daily diet. If bread today were the "staf of life" this practice would be healthful enough. But bread was described as the staff of life" long before modern refining of flour had come into use. There is vital difference between plain wheat, whole wheat, entire wheat, with nothing removed dur- ing milling or grinding, and mod- ern ultra-refined white flour. There isn't space to define the difference here and still finish what " have to say today-f you wish to know more about it send stamped en- velope bearing your address and ask for (do not send clipping) monograph Wheat to Eat". The harm done by overeating is not mere strain from overlooking the system and overworking or- gans, arteries and so on. The harm lies rather in the fact that the diet is poorly balanced. The specific fault with the diet is insufficient intake of the minerals and vita- mins that grow in food but are largely removed in the process of refinement, cooking, preservation, qualification, sterilization, bleach- ing.
 In short, paradoxical though 1t may seem to the uninitiated, the harm done by overeating Is mainly nutritional deficiency.

OVEREATING AND NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY

NUJMkV1ONAL UEt1C1ENCx
 When Dr. Osler was so irfa- pressed by the part played by overeating in inducing arterio- scierosis that he believed excess in eating did more damage than ex- cess in drinking, fancy expressed in the saying that "the platter kills more than the sword" the science of nutrition was in the en1- bryonic state. Besides the sword wasn't killing many even in Osler's day.
 Allowing two pounds of sugar per week for every man, woman and child in the country (the present per capita consumption of sugar is greater than that), Sher- man (Food Products, Macmillan) estimates that the energy obtained from eating sugar must amount to 800 calories per person per day, which is from one-fourth to one fifth of the total daily energy re- quirement the average person (men, women, infants).
 If you are disposed to question the applicability of these facts to your nutrition, on the ground that ffohand you can't believe you con- sume anywhere nearly as much sugar as that, what, may ask, do you live on anyway? Certainly you have to get from 2500 to 4000 cal- ories a day from one kind of food or another! specifically you may get as much as one-third of the daily energy requirements from proteins Qean meat, egg white, cheese, nitrogenous material in vegetables and nuts) and from fats, but you normally get from two thirds to four-fifths of the daily energy requirements from car- bchydrate material - starches and sugars - the proportion increasing with increased physical activity, work, play, exercise. The human body mechanism is adapted to function most efficiently on fuel having about that formula - pro- tein one part, fat one part. carbo- hydate from six to twelve parts de- pending on the work to be done.

Dessert whips made with dried fruits are delicious and easy to pre- pare. First soak, cook, sweeten and sieve the fruit, then fold the hot fruit pulp into the stiffly beaten egg whites. Folding the pulp in hot tends partly to cook the fluff and gives the mixture body. If the whip is to be baked, set the baking dish in 8 pan of hot water and cook in slow oven until firm.

Private ownership leads In the

100000 beyond the contracts under
public ownership, according to the
monthly summary of local construc-

The report said the total valua-

public totals in nine Of the first II

trend. rather than a squirt in one of

single large project could influence
the relation between the private and
public totals.

Fairfax County

Exceeds 1888
Highway Development
Plays Role in 11-Month
Figure Of $1.859,6S3

Real estate activity in Fairfax
County. Va, during the present
year. both on the volume of new
construction work and the number of
realty transfers, will far overshadow
the record of any former year.
Even at the close of the past
month records from the Office of
County Commissioner of the Rev.
enue James U. -Kincheloe disclosed
that the number of building permits
issued for the first II months of this
year had sharply exceeded the total
for all Of 1898, while similarly from
the office of County Clerk John M
Whalen reports show recordations of
deeds and trusts for the II months
period practically 400 ahead OF the
number for any former IL months
So far this month both Offices
report transfers and building permit
applications are continuing un-
usually active.
At the end Of the past month
$1,859,683 in building permits had
been granted for this year. When
the past year closed permit values
totaled $l,245,370, placing the H.
month figure for this year more than
half a million dollars in excess o1
1898.
$670,646 in 1896.
Likewise a comparison with the
volume of permits issued in the

almost a threefold growth. THAI

Highways a Factor.
Real estate development has been
considerably spurred by the rapid
improvements and additions being
made in the local highway system.
With the completion of the new
Lee boulevard from Fairfax to the
Memorial Bridge, a quick and short
route has been opened up for large
section of the county to downtown
Washington. Widening of the Lee
Highway from Fairfax to Rosslyn
has likewise helped, and at the
present time the Little River Turn
pike, one of the oldest roads in the
State, is being widened from Fair
fax to Annandale. where it is joined
by the Columbia Pike leading to the
Highway Bridge.
1t is expected the Little River
pike will ultimately be widened the
remainder of the way from An
nandale to Alexandria, as has been
urged by number of groups during
the past years headed by the Fair
fax County Board of Supervisors.
Work will likewise shortly start
on another important highway
project-widening of the Lee high
way from Fairfax toward Centreville.
Easier Financing Plays Role.
Credit for the heavy construction
program is also attributed partly to
the easier methods now available
for financing homes. Along with the
Federal Housing Administration and
building and loan groups, other
lending agencies are providing at
tractive terms to those who wish tc
build their own home.
During the past month the first
permit for a large apartment was
granted. The apartment. which /,
scheduled to contain 80 units, will
be built by the First Colony Corp.
on a tract of land in Mount Vernon
District near New Alexandria. The

will be finished by May !. 1941. The
