radio signals were exchanged, lest

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

The United States Bureau of
Home Economics makes some very
good suggestions about good nu-
triton on a food budget.
Questions about food budgets
are sent into this bureau daily
from all over the country. Every
where homemakers want informa-
tion to help them get the best pos
sible diet for their money.
The Bureau of Home Economics
has worked out four food plans as
guides in purchasing the best pos
sible diets for the money. One
plan is for a liberal diet, one a
moderate low-cost diet, and the
third a minimum-cost adequate
diet. The fourth is recommended
for emergency use only, to be used
when there is so little money that
no amount of careful buying can
insure a really good diet.
Each one of these plans is set
up for families of two, four, and
seven.
4 Secret of the success of this plan
+ is that it makes use of the most
nutritious of the inexpensive foods.
Milk and cereal foods are its main
stay. There are just enough veget-
ables, fruits, eggs and lean meats
to supply the vitamins, minerals,
and protein not furnished in suf-
fcient quantities by cereal and
milk Fats and sweets are used
/ to round out calories.
4 In most sections of the country
such a diet could be purchased for
a family of four for from 9 to 10
1 dollars a week A sample weekly
market order would include the
following: 171a quarts of milk, II
pounds of potatoes and sweet-po-
tatoes, pounds tomatoes and cit
rus fruit, Z pounds of leafy, green
and yellow vegetables, 2 pounds
dried beans and peas, peanut but
/ ter and nuts, 2 pounds dried fruits.
Ia pounds other vegetables and
fruits, 1 1-3 dozen of eggs, AZ
pounds of lean meat, poultry, AMI
/ fish, Is pounds flour and cereals,
31a pounds of fats, 81 pounds of
sugar, and As cents worth of ac-
cessories (coffee, spices, etcl
/ For family that lives in a town
or city and has to buy all the food
it eats, getting all this for the
money means smart buying and
shopping. 1t means buying the in
expensive but no less nutritious
cuts of meat 1t means taking
advantage of food bargains know
ing the kind of green vegetables
and fruits, for instance, that are
at the height of their season and
good buys. The shopper will buy
chap and nutritious cereals and
make sure that part of them are
the whole-grain kind that furnish

minerals and vitamins as well as
calories.
On the other hand, a family that
lives in the country may be able to
get a moderate-cost or even a lib
eral diet for the same amount of
money. For a vegetable garden, a
cow, some chickens will furnish
more of the protective foods that
make the difference between an or
dinary adequate" diet and a very
good diet.
To make sure that the family
gets all the nutritive values that
come from the s tore or the farm
means that the homemaker has to
follow through" with good cook
ing. This is true no matter how
expensive the diet, but if there is
minimum of money to spend it
is even more important. And with

Not only are many such diplomats
