exercise than TO take il. But
once you give exercise even a
short trial, you are very apt to
be sold on it. You find that you
have b eel missing too much.
One Of the things that amazes
you is that very little keeps you
in marvellous trim.
Today ii is only incidental
that exercise gives you a good
figure-although in the defense
plants it has been proved that
the women who look their best
are the best workers. But il is
really because exercise keeps
YOU in such prime condition that
il is so important.
Feel Loeey
When your muscles are in
good tone, the pressure exerted
on the nerve endings sends mes
sages along 10 the brain saying
that you feel fine today. But
unless you get enough physical
exercise, these messages are not
sent and you feel leggy.
Take five 10 10 minutes OF
calisthenics a day for two weeks
and see for yourself what it
will do.
You can choose the easy ones.
They are just as effective.
II doesn't make any difference
whether you stand up TO exer-
else or lie down, but lying down
takes less effort and keeps you
from having TO think about your
posture. That takes care of it.

Gradually YOU can work UP TO

stomach, hip and thigh muscles.
Good Test
The next exercise is a pretty
good test OF the condition you

Dried Fruit Snacks
Becoming Popular

Dried fruit snacks are really pic
mic perfection-simple to wrap,
light to carry and easy to eat. Now
that many Of us are doing our
picnicking via the hike or the bike,
tightening the load en- route is an
important item. Eating raiSins in
the popular penny pack along the
way is a growing custom.
Fruit and cheese are one OF the
choice flavor combinations-dieteti-
cally admirable, too. Prunes,
steamed to soften and pitted; figs,
steamed and slit open, and apricot
halves, steamed, are ideal recep-
tacles for tastefully seasoned cheese.
Two apricot halves pressed together
with cheese in the middle make q
choice sandwich.
Season cream cheese with garlic,
onion or celery salt, or a combina-
ton OF two or all three. Season
grated American cheese with must
ard, horSe-radish or Worcestershire.
Chopped radishes, nuts or celery
are appetizing additions to cheese.
Ground blanched almonds or
ground preserved orange peel with
sufficient honey to moisten makes
an excellent fruit filling.

Production is humming all over
the country-and with the speeding
up of every phase of war work comes
the need for the women of the land
to look to the meals they feed their
men. Nutrition is a vital factor in
efficiency. and unless the workers Of
the Nation are given the food they
must have to keep them pitching, "
our great war effort will be lmpcded
to no small extent.
II is not enough. you ladies-be-
hind-t the -men-W who -do-thej JOB, TO
provide hearty breakfasts and
nourishing dinners. They are plenty
important-especially the breakfast.
But most significant meal of the
LAY. in terms of production efficiency,
is the one consumed at noon, be-
tween two periods of all-out effort.
Therefore, any notions you may
have that the lunch pail should be
filed with scraps and leftovers-
that anything will do" must be dis
carded-pronto. Into that lunch
box should go more thought, and
planning and wisdom than ever went
out of your kitchen before. Don't
think a sandwich of Soggy bread and
leftover ham. with perhaps an apple
and some coffee is going to do the
trick. 1t won't. And neither will
most of the easy" types Of packed
lunches.
Many plants and industries now
arrange to supply their workers
with coffee, tea and milk. If this is
so you don't have to bother about
them-eXcept to insist that your
husband drink his quota of milk
during the working week. Use that
thermos in the lunch pail to hold
hot soup-nourishing and rich, that
will help his digestion, soothe his
nerves, and give him a lift" at the
same time that it adds any number
of vital food components to his
meal. If you use one Of the ex-
cellent dehydrated soups now on the
market, it will take you no time at
all in the morning to fill the thermos
and you'll probably have some left
over for your own lunch, too-there-
by being economical. Most of these
soups contain valuable vegetables
and noodles-some of them include
meats-and so there you have the
basis of a fine meal. Alternate the
soups with fruit juices to avoid
monotony.
Sandwiches should be selected for
their wholesome qualities, not for
