There are AS million Americans who are without adequate diet, &C., cording to statisticians of the Fed eral Bureau of Home Economies. Although these men, women and children are not starving, they are suffering from inadequate nourish- ment caused by faulty diet. In the drive for national defense, certainly every American housewife can help overcome this serious diet defi- ciency in our wealthy country. About 20 per cent of the men called p for the draft were rejected be- cause they were physically unfit. That means in a large percentage of cases they had not been fed a diet at home to produce normal growth and health.
 What can the patriotic housewife do to help with the national de- fense program? On the theory that defense, like charity, begins at home, she should improve the nu- tritional standards of her menus and get more essential foods for her dollar.
 According to experts who study our national health and diet prob- lem, there are four reasons for 45 million Americans living on an in- adequate diet: first Accounting for perhaps 2O,O00,OOO persons) inability to buy proper food; second, suffi- cient food but lack of knowledge of the correct food to eat; third, lack of initiative on the part of farm families ti grow their own food, and fourth, sheer indifference to eating.
 In view of these facts, the 1941 home defense program for every housewife might be based on a con- sistent and guided study of the fundamentals of good family diet and the rudiments of nutrition. Through books, and in study groups,

WOMAN,S REALM =

 The woman about whom people always are saying How in the world does she find time to do SO much?" usually manages to relax more often and more completely than others who seem to be buster but who accomplish 8 great deal less per year.
 The chances are that she has trained herself to go to sleep just a few seconds after she has put out the light In other words, she doesn't take her worries to bed with her.
 DOESN'T CHAFE
 AT DELAYS
 Instead of constantly telling the taxi driver to hurry or fussing to herself about why busses move so slowly when passengers are in a hurry, she relaxes on her way to keep an appointment. She closes her eyes and now and then lets her head rest on the back sof the seat, thereby relieving tension in her neck muscles.
 She sits down when she combs her hair or puts on fresh makeup. When she is confused and har- aSsed by dozen details that must be attended to, she goes of in 8 corner by herself and reads a page of her newspaper or closes her eyes and thinks of something far removed from the work she must do. After a few minutes she, is able to go back to her work, un- confused and mentally refreshed. TAKES TIME OUT TO RELAX
 Now and then during the day she sits in 8 straight chair, lets her body fall forward until her head is hang ing between her knees and arms are down with fingers dragging the floor. In this position, she relaxes neck, shoulders and arms for sev- eral minutes.
 In addition, she refuses to wor- " about two tasks at once. She con. centrates on one and then goes on to the next. By so doing, she in- creases her efficiency and saves a great deal of wear and tear on her nerves.

dignity a Il d rights of individuals. Human beings were not meant, she told the world, to think and act and live in goose-step. RIGHTS OF ALL
 ARE RESPECTED
 While supporting rule by the majority, she upheld the right of nlinorities to their be- liefs and opinions.
 She did not succumb to any doctrine of superiority. AL ways she has accepted men for what they were-not for the race, nationality or reli- zion, given them by birth.
 She upheld the tradition that America should be a ha- ven for the persecuted of other lands.
 She disdained the idea that America might make up to" the dictators.
 ALL KNOW HER
 AND LOVE HER
 She stood by the firm con- viction that only in a de- mocracy is life worth living and supported the belief of realists that only people who are strong can be free.
