WHAT to EAT and WHY

variety Of groundless supersti-
tons. 1t is said to be ''fattening"
when the truth of the matter is
that no food is fattening unless
consumed in excess of bodily
needs. The food faddists say that
fruits and milk must never be TAX
en- at the same meal, for the
fruit acids will cause the milk to
curdle. Here is an outstanding
example of the misleading effect
of half-truths. For it is a physio-
logical fact that milk is always
curdled in the stomach by the
action of the hydrochloric acidl
Some people are afraid to eat
acid-tasting fruits because they
have the erroneous idea that they
produce "acidity" in the body. In
spite of their acid taste, however,
most fruits have an alkaline reac-
ton following digestion.
My earnest advice to home
makers is to disregard all such
fads and fancies. Don't be guided
by hearsay advice. Eat wide va
riety of foods in moderation. Learn
what constitutes a well-balanced
diet. And make that your health
ideal.

enjoys the distinction of being the
most concentrated source of pro-
tein known. Because of this fact,
menus containing cheese should
be balanced by the inclusion of
foods containing bulk or celluIose,
such as fruits, vegetables or whole
grain breads. When these foods
are omitted, it is not the pres
ence of cheese, but the absence
of bulk that is responsible for the
meal being insufficiently laxative.
Homenakers who have the in
terests of their families at heart
will Danish the notion that cheese
is either constipating or difficult
to digest when properly used.
They will give this splendid food
regular place in their menus
and thereby provide valuable
nourishment at a most economical
cost. 1t is doubtful if any other
food provides such a variety of
important nutrients concentrated
in such a small space. Besides
its fine quality protein, cheese is
notable for its energy values, for
supplying the minerals, calcium
and phosphorus, needed for teeth
and bones, and as a source of
vitamin A.
Not even milk has escaped a

WHAT are you doing about
plaids, stripes, dots and checks
in print silks for your spring and
summer frocks, for your redingote
or bolero costume suits and for the
many blouses you will need to COM
plete a smart wardrobe? If you have
not already done so, you really
should take steps in this matter, for
one or the other of these types has
practically become "must" in the
up-to-the-minute clothes collection.
Your choice is in no way limited,
for every type from classic checks
and stripes to color-glorified plaids
are represented and it's ditto for
dots. Quaint checks in conventional
sizes and simple two-color treatment
which return to vogue with the
southern belle" fashions, inspired
by the movie version of "Gone With
the Wind" are at their best in stiff
silks, such as taffeta or taffeta-ized
silk crepe. These checks are as
stylish for mother as they are for
daughter, and as chic for evening
as for day wear. Reminiscent of

Erroneous Ideas About Cheese

Other fallacies that continually
crop up in my mail are the ideas
that cheese is constipating, and
that this good food is not complete
ly digestible. Neither belief is in
accordance with the facts.
Numerous tests have shown that
when cheese is given a proper
place in the diet, it is usually well
digested. Moreover, it has been
demonstrated that there is prac-
tically no difference between
cheese and meat with respect to
ease of digestion.
AS for the completeness with
which this food is utilized by the
body, studies made by investiga-
tors for the United States depart
ment of agriculture, demonstrate
ed that on the average, about 95
per cent of the protein and over
95 per cent of the fat of cheese
were digested and absorbed!
Some few persons may have an
allergy to cheese just as they are
sensitive to variety of other pro-
tein foods. But that is an abnor-
NAL reaction and has no bearing
on the use of cheese by persons
in normal health.

There's no end to stripes. They
start pin-stripe size and continue to
run the gamut into wide, wider, wild
est versions. To be had, are the
prim and quaint Victorian stripes
mostly just one color on white, or
if you are style alert you'll want
silks in the handsome wider direc-
toire stripes, or if you have gone
gypsy as is the way of fashion this
spring you will insist on stripes in
vivacious coloring for a full skirt
to wear with your new sheer white
blouse. With your navy or black
suit you'll be right in style, if you
wear a hat of Spanish stripe silk
and carry bag to match.
Simple stripes, one color on white,
are quite a featured theme in the
latest fashions. See the dress CEN
tered in the group. 1t is made of
black and white striped taffeta. It
has the old-fashioned look that is so
decidedly new-fashioned for spring
and summer 1889.
You Will not be able to resist the
new plaid silks such as fashions the
stunning daytime dress pictured to
the left in the foreground. Solid
blocks of color form the plaid in
this printed silk crepe dress. It's
the last word in chic, is this strik-
ing and youthful dress with its swing
skirt that measures yards and yards
about the hemline. The bodice is
draped and is detailed with soft
knotted bow. The lingerie touch is
introduced by a band of white
mousseline de sole, edging the neck
line and the sleeves.
These plaid silks are just the thing
for the blouse you will wear with
your navy or black or the new navy
green suit that is causing such a
furore in Paris. Capes and jackets
lined with plaid silk are on the style
program, too, as are also the new
petticoats that are the style sensa-
ton of the moment.

on a stroll with his host to a noun

mountain was apparently no near

That Man Again

CONVERSATIONAL Max Baer
~ has already fiattened Lou Nova,
disposed of Heavyweight Champion
Joe Louis, and is in possession of
ringdom's crown of supremity.
Actually the enigmatic Make is
on the comeback trail, training for
bout with Nova on June 1, and
hoping for another match with Joe
Louisa match that he has not thus
far earned.
He claims if Lou Nova beats him
he will quit the ring for good be-
cause no Baer is "gettin' himself
slapped happy"
In training quarters Make looks
like the world-beater he really
should be. A fine physical speci-
men, the wide shouldered, rugged
Hercules seems to have all the at
tributes of another Dempsey. He
struts and swaggers for the benefit
of gymnasium customers. He isn't
at all shy, and seizes every oppor-
tunity to tell how dangerous he is
when aroused. The wise boys pay
no attention. The uninitiated get a
thrill out of it. It doesn't do much
harm.
One of the severest beatings of
Baer's career was administered by
Joe Louis, and today Max is talking
his way to revenge. He swears that
he is ready-that he is determined
to win out-that he will whip Joe
Louis when he gets to him.
Make uttered the remark recent
ly that he'd like to make a lot of
guys holler "Uncle" for some of the
things they said about his last fight
with Louis. Baer's courage was
questioned in many corners, and
that hurt. In fact, his knockout by
the Brown Bomber perhaps hurt him
less than some of the resulting tales
questioning his willingness to fight.
He now claims that his wife and
little Baer have reformed him, have
torn him from the primrose path.
Maybe it's true, but we've heard
similar statements from Max in the
past.
One thing can be said in his IA
vog. He started training early.

.Turnabout

WHETHER or not Ellsworth
W Vines, who has forsaken pro
tennis to concentrate on an amateur
golf career, can ever become a sue
cessful golfer is much-debated
question.
Vines himself is quite optimistic,
believing he will do more than all
right for himself. Others, particu-
larly golf experts, are not so sure.
The former tennis notable quail
fed for the National amateur golf
tournament last year, but went out
early. He is of the opinion that if
he devotes all his time to the links
game he may advance further than
that.
Holding a contrary viewpoint is
Fred Perry, who has battled Vines
in both amateur and professional
tennis. Perry points out, very logi-
calIy, that Ellsworth Vines, the ten
mis- star, playing around IS is quite
an attraction, but when he becomes
exclusively the golfer he's merely
one out of thousands who play about
the same kind of golf.
If Vines carries his tennis tenden-
cies over to his golf debut he will
run into trouble. Vines has always
tended to fold up when there was
something at stake in tennis
match, and is likely to do the same
thing when he is in a crucial golf
test.
His tennis game went to pieces in
National championship and Davis
cup tests, and as pro it crum-
bled in matches against Tilden, Per-
ry and Bulge.
So Ellsworth may go back to the
tennis courts after year on the
