On the rice were set slabs OF fresh

'WhyGrow

By Josephine Lowman

BY Josephine LOiOman
II you are q woman and eat at
home you have great advantage
over those who eat out! Men who
travel have an especially difficult
time planning or ordering meals
which meet the requirements Of
good health and the problem Of
weight reduction.
A letter came recently from a
wife who was writing for help for
her husband. She says:
Dear Mrs. Lowman: Do you hap
pen to have a diet list for an over
weight man of 40 who is In good
health, but travels and cannot al
ways find sensible food when eating
out? This fact Is responsible for
lots Of ills among travelling men.
Don't you think so? Any pointers
will be appreciated"
I do think that this poses a prob
lem. So many dishes in restaurants
are fried, or heavy and rich, and
vegetables must Of necessity be
cooked in lots Of water and in large
amounts, so much Of the health
value is lost. A man can protect
his health by eating fresh fruits in
his room and lettuce salads at his
dinner and by drinking enough milk
and citrus Juice.
# overweight Is q compile cation,
he can use lemon juice on his salad
instead of mayonnaise or French
dressing, take his eggs poacl1ed or
soft boiled rather than having them
fried, ask for baked potato rather
than French fries, and leave OF des-
serts and substitute fruit IN his
room before retiring.
One bright spot is the fact that
man can have his well beloved steak,
even If he must leave OF pie q Ia
mode. However, he should eat only
the lean meat and forget the tat,
and go very light on gravy.
Hot breads stepped in butter will
be his undoing. Although he can
have some butter he should 60 light
on it. That Is one advantage OF
salads without dressing and a baked
potato rather than some other kind.
He has control over the calorie sit
uation If he adds lemon juice to the
salad and his own butter as season.
ing and on bread.
If you wish to have my "Mr. and
Mrs. Diet" which gives planned
meals for the woman who must lose
and the man who does not need to
do so, send stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope with your request

A red letter day on the calender
this week will be st. Valentines Day.
a popular date for parties Of one
sort or the other, perhaps an en-
gagement party since Cupid seems
to be associated with this special
day.
The history of how st. Valentines
day came to be observed is rather
interesting. Centuries ago sanity
Roman, Valentine, was put into
prison and tortured because of his
religious faith. While in prison, so
the story goes, he healed and re-
stored the sight of the keepers
daughter. When the prisoner was
about to be executed, he wrote words
of counsel upon some papers which
bore fancy designs. The papers he
had cut and patterned In intricate
shapes to vile away the monotonous
prison hours. The papers were left
behind as a gift for the girl who
had formerly been blind, and were
signed your Valentine" Afterward
when the martyr was canonized, the
day, February IA, was set aside as
his saints day."
So down through the centuries our
custom of observing st. Valentine's s
Day has grown. Shakespeare men
tions it In Hamlet. Later on in
America, a college girl enters the
picture. She conceived the idea for
valentines with printed verse. Up
to then the valentines had pictures
but had blank spaces for the senders'
own greetings. She made valen-
tine of lace paper, colored paper,
paperflowers and her own verses.
Her brother, who was a travelling
salesman, volunteered to help her
sell them. She hoped to make a
hundred dollars, if they hit the pub

exceeded when her brother returned
with an order for 5000 worth of the
cards. Before she knew 1t she
