An Acid Deficiency
Causes Gray Fair

FOR thousands of years gray
II hair has been an unwelcome
sign of approaching old age, and
as such, a source of worry and irri-
tation to countless people. Dyeing
has been the usual and unsatisfac-
tory remedy.
But seven or eight years ago
scientists isolated substance they
called panothenic acid and expert
mented with it in the diet of rats.
The results, as explained by DR..
P. w. Punett and M. E. Badger,
in the September issue of Good
Housekeeping magazine, showed
that when the acid was withheld
from their food, patches of gray
appeared amid the brown fur. By
the end of to s weeks practically
all the brown had changed to gray.
When the substance was put back
in the rats diet the dark hair re-
appeared in the same amount OF
time it had taken to disappear.
All these tests, the authors
writes, were carried on by the Good
Housekeeping bureau, but they did
not, of course answer the vital
question, "Will it work the same
way for humans 2" To experiment
further the Bureau gathered a
group of men and women old and
young, some just beginning to
show few gray hairs, and fed
them large doses of the acid in
tomato juice. The experiment is
still being carried on, for the life
processes of humans consume a
much longer time than rats.
DR.. Punett and Mr.. Badger ex-
press the opinion that, while it
may be successful for some sub
jects, it may not be completely
successful. There may be other
causes for gray hair which cannot
be cured by this new vitamin.

NEGRO SCHOOL
LUNCH PROJECT
County School Will Share 2.
400 Quarts of Fruits and
Vegetables Canned
NYA GIRLS TRAINED

Children who attend Kent Coun-
tvs Negro schools will eat more
nourishing lunches as a result of a
canning project just completed at
State College for Colored Students.
Over 2,400 quarts of fruit and veg
etables were saved from the sum-
mer surplus for next winters noon
meals. These foods will be dis
tributed to all colored schools in
Kent County, and to schools in
New Castle and Sussex Counties
which made a contribution to the
canning project. Because of Ma
tional Defense funds for Vocational
Education the fourteen National
Youth Administration girls who
participated in the project were
given instruction in canning, menu
planning, cooking, meal service and
sanitary dishwashing. Most of
these N. Y. A. girls were employed
in last years school lunch program
in schools of the State and expect
to be preparing lunches again this
year. Miss Allie M. Miller, instruc-
tor in home economics at State
College for Colored Students, was
employed ON National Defense
funds through the State Depart
ment of Public instruction to
teach these fourteen girls. The
project was sponsored by the State
Department of Public Instruction
and the State Board of Health.
Agencies which cooperated in sup
plying food to be canned, jars and
money for supplies are: Delaware
Parent-Teacher Association, Della
ware Tuberculosis Associa-
tion, Delaware Red Cross, Kent
County American Legion Auxil-
iary, local P. T. A. members and

TWO FAM7L Y DINNERS
FOR THE FIRST COOL DAYS
-7yeU balanced for good health,S sake
-SaUoay and full flaUoyed for sheer enjoyment
by Dorothy Greig

VHE new bride in our family has
i made discovery about prepar-
ing meals. Goodness she COM
mented ruefully. ut isn't the
actual cooking that's difficult. It's
planning what to have"
The planning of meals, we told
her. will always demand thought
and care, regardless of how many
years she keeps house. Planning to
get the proper balance and solid
nourishing qualities into meals is
an important step toward bounce
and vigor for all the family.
The cheerful thing about it all is,
however. that the better balanced
the meal. the more appetizing it is.
For instance, take this simple
family meal-a pleasure to eat from
beginning to end:
Suffered Noodles ,cifh Meat Balls
Tossed Green Vegetable Salad
Bread Sticks or Toasted Hard Rolls
Lemon Meringue Pie
Coffee (Mik for the chifdren)
Make the meat dish this way:
*Buttered Noodles with Meat Balls
3 slices bread
1a pound pork, ground
1s pound veal, ground
"a pound beef, ground
/ medium size onion, chopped
teaspoons salt
Is teaspoon pepper
/ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
l egg
tablespoons Parmesan or sharp
cheese
Trim the crusts from the bread
and cover with warm water, then
squeeze dry. Combine this with all
of the rest Of the ingredients and
mix we'll. Shape into meat balls
(this makes about 16), roll in -four
and brown in hot cooking oil or fat.
Tomato Sauce:
Heat together cans Of condensed
tomato soup (just as it comes from
the CAM and one cup OF water.
Then put the Drowned meat balls
into the sauce, cover and simmer
for As minutes to one hour. Serve
meat balls and sauce with buttered
noodles.

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

The national emergency is en-
phasizing the need of good nourish-
ing food for the whole family. AT
the same time the goal of good nu-
triton for the whole family is
made more difficult for many
homes to realize because of rising
food costs.
The United States Bureau of
Home Economics has just issued a
plan to guide housewives in getting
good diets at low cost. Quotations
follow from this Bureau of Home
Economics plan. These suggestions
are based on the recommendations
of the May 1941 National Nutri-
tion Conference.
First item in the low-cost mas
ter plan is milk. This includes
milk to drink, milk for cooking,
and milk in the form of cheese or
other dairy products. Every child
gets 3 to cups a day Every
adult gets to 3 cups. Each ex-
pectant mother gets l quart, and
a nursing mother IL quarts. 1t is
more important to have the guam
tity of milk listed every day than
it is to get milk in any special
form. Cheaper firms of milk may
often be used in cooking.
"Potoes and sweetpotatoes are
called for about twice day be-
cause they are economical sources
of many of the food values speci-
fled in the nutrition yardstick. Dry
beans, peas, and peanuts are call
ed for two to four times a week,
for the same reason. They are es-
pecially valuable as sources of iron
and protein in low-cost diets.
Tomatoes, citrus fruit, or other
vitamin-C rich foods are included B
times a week at least. Every child
under four is allotted l serving
day-every nursing mother, 1 to 2
servings daily. Among econom-
ical "other vitamin-C rich foods"
are raw cabbage and raw salad
greens.
"Leafy, green and yellow veg
etables are served in a low-coSt
diet at least 6 times a week. And
everyone in the family has 8 to 4
eggs weekly.
''The diet plan provides 6 small
servings of lean meat, fish, or poul-
try each week. There should be a
cereal dish once day, sometimes
twice; bread in some form at
every meal, and dessert once day,
if desired. From 80 to so percent
of all the cereals served should be
the whole-grain kind, because Of
the iron and other minerals and
vitamins they provide
"a family of four-two moder-
ately active grownups and two
children of school aegean get
meals that measure up to the yard
stick of good nutrition for $3.50 to
$500 a week, using this low-cost
master plan. The difference in the
weeklycost depends upon the Sc
lections made within the different
food groups. Farm families of

Clean That Coal Bin!
AMERICAS HOME HEATING EXPERT

Now that we are getting close
l to the end of the heating sea-
son, let US give special thought
to the proper care of the heating
equipment during the coming
summer months when it will not
be in operation. 1t has been a
good friend during the winter,
so treat it considerably during
the few months it is not being
used. As a rule the heating plant
represents an investment of sew
eral hundred dollars. A little
time spent now may save many
dollars later on.
Let US start with the coal bin.
After all it is an integral part
of the heating plant and houses
the fuel. In other words it is the
warehouse or storeroom for the
heat. Many times coal dealer
is blamed for delivering dirty"
coal. Often this is not his fault
at all, but is directly due to the
condition of the bin. Most deal
ers will wet down the load before
the delivery is made, yet this
clean coal when chuted into the
basement will raise dense cloud
of dust. This dust is already in
the bin. 1t merely becomes dis
turbed when the new load of
coal is chuted in and belches into
a cloud of dirt particles. 1t is an
accumulation of a long period
of time. Even a closed room will
accumulate a thin layer of dust
if it is not used. Imagine coal
being handled in such closed
room. The accumulation is bound
to be much heavier.
