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

1912 will be year of changes
and these changes will come even
to such hard to change habits as
eating. Increased cost of nearly
1 all food and the lack of foreign
shipments will force American
families to eat differently than they
! have in other years. Added to that,
Americans are receiving more in
struction than ever before about
what they should eat and it is
hoped that this will result in an in
creased use of milk, eggs, veget-
ables, and fruits.
For the family whose income
has not risen alfong with the rising
cost of food, one of the housewives s
biggest problems will be to provide
appetizing healthful meals at a
price which she can afford. Such
housewife will need to find ways
to buy cheaper foods without sac
rificing food value. For her, beef
liver, stews and pot roasts will re-
place steaks and loin cuts. Foods
such as milk can be purchased in
several forms, some of which are
cheaper than others.
Good buying of food is useless
without good cooking. Every moth
er needs to know how to prepare
healthful meals which are eaten
without urging just because they
taste so good.
The 1912 meal planner will be
using substitutes for some foods
which have been very common on
our grocery shelves. Such things
as pineapple and pepper which
come from far off places will prob
ably be scarcer and scarcer. Even
fruits and vegetables grown in the
United States may not be shipped
around freely if railroads and
trucks are carrying other things
and we may depend more on foods
grown locally.
There is not much chance that
the United States will be short of
any essential foods. The United
States Department of Agriculture
has a gigantic program planned to
supply us as well as our allies with
milk, fruit, vegetables, meat and
eggs.
A home garden will show big
ger profit than ever if farm prices
continue high. The fruits and veg
etables produced at home and used
fresh in the summer and canned
for winter meals can make the diff
ference between a well fed family
and one which is always a little
ailing.
The Red Cross, the Extension
Service, Home Economics teachers
and health agencies are all teach
ing the facts about food which will
help housewives to know how to
plan buy and cook meals to keep
heir families well and strong.
Better planning better buying,
