From The State
Health Officer

Plenty of wholesome drinking
water is essential to good health.
The billions of cells of which the
human body is composed must be
constantly bathed in fluid. Moving
parts of the body must be lubri-
Gated. Food must be dissolved in
the process of digestion, and then
fcarried in a fluid medium to all
parts of the body. Waste products
must be flushed out, and lungs and
skin must be moist to perform
their work. All these things take
great quantities of water.
One of the important functions
of the water supply of the body
is to distribute body heat and
regulate body temperature to con-
form with the outside air. Since
the average adult loses from four
to five pints of water daily through
the skin, the lungs, the kidneys
and other secretions, the supply
of water must be continually re-

Listing lack of knowledge con-

reasons for inadequate nutritional

she said, the most serious of which
is the idea that milk is fattening.'
Stating that no food is fattening,
the nutritionist said that a person
is overweight because he or she
eats more total food - gets more
calories than the body uses.
Sensible weight control calls for
the inclusion for all foods neces-
sary to the maintenance of good
health, with a limitation on those
foods which contribute little ex-
cept calories to the body needs.
A pint of milk heads the list in
a safe reducing diet"
Condemning the notion that to
lose weight one should do without
meal, Miss Stansel said that to
skip any meal, especially break
fast, contributes to poor nutrition
and lessened efficiency.
