LoNG-TERM FURNITURE

Furniture Is ordinarily a long
term investment and therefore
should be examined carefully be-
fore purchase. Explicitly labeled
furniture made by reliable rnanti-
facturers Is the safest buy. However,
you will want to check on the wood
whether 1t Is solid or merely ven-

Yourself
BY Alicia Hart

4NA1<A 6ChNAOV SS~AA
1t was really a lovely party
the one you went to last week
You've always liked that particular
hostess; you found the other guests
pretty amusing; the food was excel
lent; and your husband was nice
too, but didn't flirt with the guest
Of honor.
All In all, you should remember
that evening as a perfect one. But
you don't. This is, not quite. All
too frequently since the night OF
the party you've had a little nag
ging feeling that you didn't quite
measure up. Usually, though you
don't admit 1t. you feel Just the
other way around.
What happened? Why do you
have this uncomfortable reaction
every time the evening Is men,
toned?
Well, since the party came at
the tail-end Of a week or two OF
q burning-the-candle- at-both ends
session, it's quite possible that you
were too tried to be at your best
It's true, Of course, that dyed-in-
the-wool party-goers always sleep
for an hour and sometimes two be-
fore dressing. You might remem-
Der that from now on. Being tired
Is a definite handicap to charm
or wit or getting others interested
In you.
WATCH THE TIME
In addition, the chances are ten
to one that you didn't allow quite
enough time to battle and dress fcs
that party. If you are a quick
dresser who requires about half an
hour to groom yourself from head
to foot. probably you had only Is
minutes that night.
If you generally allow a full
hour, no doubt you had 10 or
Is minutes less than an hour in
which to get ready. You were
completely dressed Of course, but
somewhere In the process you had
lost your usual poise. While greet
ing your hostess, you were Won
dering whether you remembered
to close the windows and locx
the door.
Check Up on the best-groomed
woman you know and you'll find
that she budgets her time as well
as her money. This takes rnetic-
ulous planning. Of course. but she
manages to do II In spite Of the
fact that she works hard and Il

the homemaking courses that were
available. She would take child
training. sewing, consumer educa-
ton and interior decoration.
Her main concern right now, and
probably in the years to come, is
in making q good home. And she
would like to have the very best
possible background for that.
She is sure that the courses in
literature, art and Silence have help
ed her to understand and appre-
ciate all that she sees and reads.
And she thinks that she Is q
better companion to her husband
because she went to college, as he
did.
One other practical thing she
learned In college that has stood
her in good stead is budgeting.
EARLY BUDGET
TRAINING
AS a student at Stephens Col
lege--a woman's college that never
forgets Its students are women -
she had to keep an expense book,
listing every cent she spent, and
then planning how to get more out
Of her allowance.
When she married, she found
that she had to keep just as de-
tailed accounts In order to show
a husband that two people have
to economic TO live on the salary
the young man had been able TO
spend alone.
Her advice to the girl who islucky
enough to 60 on to college Is:
Learn to do something at which
you can earn a living. But don't
neglect TO learn the things woman
needs to know in order to get the
most out of everyday living.
"If you maryland that Is what
most girls want-you will be a
homemaker first. The trade" you
learned, and earned your living by
for year or two, will be forgotten.
1.-THE things that will be worry
ing you are how to keep your
baby healthy, how to save five
dollars by making your own
draperies, and how TO pick out a
dining-room table that Is as good as
Il looks"

sUBNUTRITION IN NEW ZEA-
LAND

China, where, If you are child
minded, doctors are paid as long as
patients remain well, but not II the
patient becomes Ill, has never been
famous for the good health Of the
people.
New Zealand is far enough away
from this country to rival China IN
legend and myth. In recent years
the low death rate in New Zealand,
particularly the low rate among in
fantS, has been much publicized on
this continent. Probably the New
Zealand babies get a better break
than American babies do. Perhaps
New Zealand mothers try harder
than American mothers to be 100
percent mothers, that Is, to nurse
their babies. Or perhaps New Zea-
land mothers are less fearful OF
fresh air and sunshine for their In
fants. Here In America 1t does seem
that amateur mothers, with few eX-
ceptions, are as dumb about this as
their great grandmothers were a
century ago. For that matter, so
are their half-baked pediatrists.
Recent survey Of food consump-
ton In New Zealand shows that
each person there consumes daily
from 8 to Z ounces Of sugar, ap-
proximately a pound Of red meat
New zealanders are the biggest
meat eaters In the world, one-half
pound Of white flour, two-thirds Of
pint of milk, two-thirds Of ali
egg, one-third ounce Of cheese, and
from 2 to 3 ounces Of butter (not
inargarine). Most Of the milk Is
taken by adults In tea and the egg
In cakes. Thus the New Zealand
er's diet Is not greatly superior to
the diet Of the poorer folk In Eng
land. Meat Is first class protein,
biologically complete, that Is, 1t
includes all OF the amino acids re-
CURED for human nutrition, growth
and repair, unlike soy bean, corn,
peas, wheat and some other sources
Of protein. But the balance Of the
modern New Zealand die-white
bread, cakes, sugar and tea falls
far short Of the essentials Of nutri-
ton.
In New Zealand OF per cent Of
the school children suffer with dem
tai carries, and more than 30 per
cent of adults have artificial teeth.
One In every twenty persons In the
country Is In hospital In the year,
chiefly for appendicitis, tonsil
troubles, goitre. Adults In New
Zealand suffer to q considerable |
degree from digestive troubles,
and so-called rheumatism
Up to the age Of eight or ten
months the New Zealand children |
thrive-New Zealand still has a
low infant mortality rate. After |
that age the daily ration Of milk,
cod liver oil (to supply vitamin d
and vitanlin AZ and orange juice |
TO supply Vitamin O. Is cut down,
In New Zealand as 1t Is too COM
monty In America. and the child's
diet consists chiefly refined car
bohydrates (stafches and sugars)
Children on the latter diet suffer
from subnutrition, which is indi-
Gated by decay Of the teeth.
In New Zealand the people con.
sumo great quantities Of cakes and
pastry, many depending on such
food as mainstay, along with
strong tea, plentifully sugared.
Such q diet Is deficient In the es-
sential vitamins B-complex and D,
and In calcium, iron and iodine.
It would seem that New Zealand
people could not be much worse off
II they lived In the United States.

q. What is the chemical COM
position of an egg?
A. The edible portion Of the egg
contains 70 to rs percent of water
about / percent Of ash, IL to IA
percent protein, 10 to IL percent
fat; or about three fourths water
one eighth protein, and one eighth
fat. OF the edible portion the yolk
constitutes (by weight a little over
one third and the white q little
under two thirds; and these are 81
very different compositions. The
white Is about seven eighths water
and one eighth Chiefly Albumin
with q small amount Of ash, con-
sisti11g mainly Of common salt with
smaller amounts of potassium salts
The yolk Is about one half water
one third fat, and one sixth pro-
tein with more ash than the white
including relatively large amounts
Of phosphorus, calcium, and iron In
organic combination. Thus the yolk
Is a more concentrated food than
the white, containing In a given
weight about seven times as much,
energy, as well as larger amounts Of
protein and OF the chief ash con.
stituents. The vitamins Of the egg
are also contained chiefly In the
yolk.
