Italians, fo: instance, when they come to this country find milk, veg etables and fruit, as well As their native cheeses, unbelievably expen- sive. So in their effort to economize, they live largely on the cereal foods twhite bread, nlacaroni, spaghetti, noodles, etc.) and Q little cheese for seasoning. The children are given coffee instead of milk and easily acquire 0 taste for candy and other sweets. Children eating such Q diet are U61dernourished and susceptible to infections, and may become ra. chitic.
 Families need to learn to use cheaper forms of the essential food, TOT instance, dried and evaporated milks, American cheese, whose grain cereal products root and leafy vege- tables, uried fruits, citrus fruits, to- matoes ard inexpensive meats. 1hls adjustment has tO ne maae by peo- ple who come from ail over E;llrope as well as the ltallaais.

 The Junior Leaguge of Water- bury often undertakes Q new pro- ject, one that they consider ex- tremely worthwhile, in order to show its value to the people of Water bury in the hope that such e pro- feet will find its proper niche and be carried on accordingly.
 Ten years ago, the Visiting Nurs. es Association saw the advisability of Q good nutritionist for Water- bury. With the aid of the Waterbury Junior League which agreed to start financing such e person, Miss Margaret A. Kennedy was brought here. Her desk ig ct the V. N. A. headquarters but she Is available to many civic organizations.
 This past year, Q Nutritlonsts' Council has been formed which consists of Mrs. William P. Ferg- uson, chairman and Mrs. John A. Coe, IT,, Miss Jeannie Heppel, Mrs. English, Dr. Edward Godfrey, and Miss Alice Peak all of whom su- pervise the work of Miss Kennedy. Explaining her phase of work In the community, Miss Kennedy pre- pared the following article.
 The Community Nutritionist
 Heroines in old time books were wan and languid. They fainted at opportune moments and were in- disposed muck Of the time. It was generally understood that to be ro- bustly hsalthy was unladylike. To. days heroine, on the other hand, is vital and vivacious, interesting for her charm rather than her symp- toms.
 Every day, nutritionists, physi- clans and other workers are kearn- ing more and more about the rela- ton Of diet to health. A great deal is being done on the ways to con- trol diseases caused by diet defi- ciencies tsuch as nicotinic acid in the control Of pellagra, Vitamin D in the control of rickets, Vitamin 0 in the control of scurvy) Research workers are making progress ia understanding the effect of nutri- ton upon resistance to disease. They are learning how food influ- ences the rate of growth, body structure, general vitality, our effi- ciency, and how long we live.
 Factory Workers
 What is the Nutritionists's part in all this in a city such as Waterbury where Q great part of the popula- ton is made up of people from practically every country in the world, people who work la our fac- tories and are on Q low income? Through the health and social workers the Nutritioiiist must bring to these people the knowledge of what foods make an adequate diet for maintaining health, how these foods can be fought with a limited income.

Prices of Cigarets, Gasoline and
Motion Picture Admissions
Higher
Added Tax on Beer is Not Re-
fiected in Retail Sales First
Of Week

Bluffton's first contact with the
new national defense tax came this
week when prices of gasoline, cigar
cts and motion picture admissions
were boosted generally by local es-
tablishments.
Price structure of many other
items affected by the government tax
is uncertain at present, awaiting
further action on the part of whole
salers and retailers to determine the
eventually selling prices of articles.
All grades of gasoline were raised
one-half cent in price after midnight
Sunday by most Bluffton filling sta
tions. At a few establishments the
increase has not yet gone into ef-
feet, but they plan to boost the sell
ing price as soon as the presen.
supply is exhausted.
Prior to midnight Sunday the pre-
vailing price of regular gasoline was
Is cents a gallon.
CIGARET PRICE UP
Cigaret prices also reflected the
defense tax generally, with standard
15-cent brands now retailing at 16
and IL cents.
Cigarets obtained from vending
machines will be IL cents per pack,
and several retail establishments are
selling at the same price. In others
the cost is 16 cents, with the likeli-
hood that stabilization will eventually
come.
The additional tax on cigarets
amounts to one-half cent, which cor
responds with the boost in the fed
eral levy on gasoline.
INCREASE BEER TAX
Increased tax on beer is 10 cents
per case, but there has been no
change thus far in the selling price
One dispensed said the tax may be
absorbed by the retailer and whole
odlCI JOlhtiys Dul liO dSlllllIC dCClSlOl
has been reached as yet.
Cost of admissions to theatres OF
other amusements are likely to bt
raised also, rejecting the nationa
defense levies. Under the tax bill, q
tax of one cent must be paid or
every 10 cents paid for admission
above 20 cents.
Tax on toilet preparations has been
increased from 10 to IL per cent;
automobile taxes to 31a per cent
radios 5 to 51s per cent; electrical
energy, to 31a per cent; lubricatinl
oils, to Az cents per gallon; play
ing cards, 10 to IL cents per pack
club dues and initiation fees, 10 te
IL per cent.
Liquor and wine taxes also have
been boosted, as we'll as those OF
tires, mechanical refrigeration anc
many other items.
