BY IDA JEAN KAN

THE AVERAGE man does
not take kindly TO a change in
his victuals. A woman usually
will accept readily any innova-
ton that promises beauty. But
a man is not so easily sold. His
reaction is apt TO be. What's
wrong with the way l eat-and
whose business is it, anyway"
Is he going to eat whole wheat
bread when he has always pre-
ferred white, or take vegetables
and a salad and two glasses of
milk a day Just because they are
good for him? He is not. He
wants the facts. And here they
are:

Dairy Products

The statistics show that the
average person gets enough cal
cries and protein and not enough
Vitamins A, B and c and cal
cium.
In terms ~ food. this means
you need more dairy products
and cheese for calcium.
You need more greeny leafy
and yellow vegetables for min
erals and Vitamin A, so that
your resistance is raised and YOU
have more vigor.
You need more whole grain or
enriched breads and crrrais for
Vitamin y. the vitamin that
helps TO build sound nerves. And
you should have more citrus
fruits and juices or tomatoes
and raw cabbage 10 furnish Vita
man c. which promotes a high
level of positive health.
Exec" Fat
OF course, IL you have taken a
superabundance Of Galleries and
they have been put away as ex-
cess fat. II Is not a good idea TO
add 10 your fat storage.
The calories can be lesSened
by cutting down on the sugars
and concentrated sweets which
furnish nothing but calories and
by cutting down on the fats
that boost the calorie score and
add nothing in the way Of pro-
lection.
But on the average the only
changes necessary 10 bring the
menus UP 10 the allowances are
in the increased use OF dairy
products and fresh fruits and
vegetables. plus 2 switch 10 the
whole grain or enriched breads
and cereals Those are very
minor changes when you con-
slider the results "a higher state

I HAVE been asked a number
of times about the white or blue
Day-lilies that bloom in August
and September. and think this
information will be interesting
to most gardeners.
First, even though tn S e
plants and flowers have a re-
semblance to the Day-lily, they
belong to an altogether different
class Of plants. They are known
as the Plantain-lily. AT one
time they were called Funkia.
Their eolors are either blue or
white, while all Day-lilies have
colorS that run from yellow 10
orange or a reddish orange. The
Plantain-lily is a native Of China
and Japan and should he used
chiefly for its foliage effect.

Uses

They are excellent W n
planted at the edge of beds or
on the corners and will give a
very pretty finish 10 the edge Of
the lawn. Their large glossy
leaves make perfect picture
when planted in clumps or in
foundation paintings.
They grow very well In the
shade which is reason enough
that they should be in every
ones garden. Just about their
only requirement is a rich soil
and one that does not become
either too dry or too wet.

The variety called II. plsnts-
ginea, OF the Fragrant Plantain-
lily is a great favorite. It's grace

white flowers. coming when they
