Do vou consider it very important to give young children two and four vears the heavy meal or dinner in the middle of the day? Since the warm weather started I have been Ziviag them just milk and pudding or stewed fruits for lunch with a heavier meal at night. They usually zo for a walk after dinner and to bed at 9. With this system 1 get nished much earlier. Will you give me vour opinion as to what you think is best?>—N. B. The question raised is a very im- portant one, and while no oue can understand your problem as well as vourself, 1 must tell you that if you can possibly manage it, such young children should have their hearty meal at midday. They should rest wfter this meal, and should go to bed much earlier than 9 o'clock. Lack of proper sleep is a frequent cause of undernourishment, and although this condition may not at once appear it s one of the dangers that the chil- dren face if they do not have proper rest. One-half hour in the middle of the day and twelve to fourteen hours' slecp at night will do wonders in lay- ing a foundation for future health.

A radical of diet would be to leave out that are putrefactive, using instead a large quantity of starchy food. This is the first step in such program The second stev is to insure in- ¢stinal cleanliness by warm enemas merely as a temporary measure. The next step is to be sure that You have plenty of bulky foods, such 2s vegetables and fruits In this connection you may find it advantageous to use buttermilk or a proportion of milk sugar and dex- trin. which is called lacto-dextrin. This is really a concentrated food, and you can get it at most any drug store. [ should not advise you to use it. however, without consulting Your physician, since its use should be planned very carefull This lacto-dextrin is one of the best wa of introducing the right kind of bac- teria into the intestines To return to the bulky foods. Cut down on meat and use such foods as bran. both in the form of mush and added to breads: raw cabbage. raw carrots, turnips, all the lettuce you can eat; dried fruits such as figs, rai- s and dates. and juicy fruits. Now as to the constipation itself. 1t very important to train the bowels to move at the proper time, and this can be done by taking plenty of time and setting aside a certain time every day. The meals must be kept regular and should also be eaten slowly. Eat whole grains and cereals and, as outlined, green, fresh vegetables and other laxative foods. Bat an orange or apple at bedtime. Drink 2 glass of cold water or a glass of diluted fruit juice on rising. And now for exere The sim- plest is literally the best. If you will make it your business to exercise by the advise me mate chang, is Color of Foodstuffs. While it is true that the house- wife should be careful in selecting her food to use only such as presents a good appearance, it is also true that we sometimes are led away by the eye. In other words, in our usual nure of attractive fruits and vegetables we may hark back to our vouthful fancies for pink lemonade and let the color of the given food too large a part in our selec- On the other hand. we may err by not thinking enough about color in our foodstuffs, Scientists now are working on the theory that the natural colored foods may very possibly be richer in one of the most important vitamins than those that paler in celor. True to our usual aim of rousing interest in further study, therefore, we are agking readers o organize their in- formation regarding the color of foodstuffs so as to know when to lay stress on this and when to soft-pedal it. ake first the matter of the impor- tance of color. When there is a choice between yvellow cornmeal and white, for instance, unles: the lighter qualities of the white va- riet as, for example, on a morning. choose the yellow, because of its richer oil. When there is a auestion between vellow turnip and white, the same principle of selection probably holds good. These are but suggestive illustrations, and the whole subject ix worth,real study. Then therc is the color that gives the right kind of appeal, namely, that which really helps to make the food more palatable and, therefore, more digestible and nourishing. The rosi- ness of apples may give no indica- tion of the higher food value, but if vou are striving to inake a special volor scheme for your dinner table there is no doubt about it that the gleaming red of certain varieties of apples will lend material aid in this direction und directly contribute to the value of the feast. are Then there is the matter of normal | color, the freshness and general at- tractiveness of products that are in best condition for food. Such aspects of the color question are very im- portant indeed. One good example of our being led astray by our color taste is that of brown and white rice or other cereals. An overcultivated national taste has for some time demanded these white types of cereal. and by the same token our families have been de- prived of some of the most important elements in the grain. The impor- tant mineral salts are in most cases i the outer coating of the grains, and Browtl rice may actually save a e when white would have con- tributed to an already established state of disease. The whole matter, .then, summed up in a few words. Color that indicates freshness and normal development in fruits and vegetables is very important. Color that adds to the aesthetic and appe- tizsing qualities of foods is important. Color that shows that the food is in a complete state, such as the whole- ness of grains, is vitally important. Color that appeals rgerely to the eye without a corresponding service to the nutrition of the body is mis- leading. may be Raspberry Souffle. Press one quart of ripe raspberries through a sieve to remove the seeds. Add six tablespoonfuls of sugar and the stiffiy beaten whites of six eggs. Mix lightly and bake in a buttered dish for about 40 minutes. Serve at onte before it falls, with cream. to Food Questions | disturbing the general balance of the vou wish | warm | walking at least three miles a day, five it you aggyperfectly well and strong. you will surprised what this will accomplish. One other simple ex- ercise may alone accomplish wonders. Before rising in.the morning the muscles of the abdominal cavity may be exerclsed well by lying flat on the back. Remember that the action of the bowels is up the right side or ascending colon, across the adbomen and down on the left side in the de- scending colon. With this morning exercise then by stretching the_ right hand muscles in an upward direction and the left hand muscles in a down- ward direction, and by exercising the abdomen in a rotary motion, the must obstinate case of constipation can often be helped. This bed exercise need be carried on only for two or three minutes, and care should, of course, be taken mnot to overstrain. Begin the exercise very simply and gradually increase it as the muscles become stronger. Would you kindly send me a diet to reduce high blood pressure?

I can't possibly Eo away again; that's out of the question; but | 1 could do my best to diet if I knew Jjust what foods and about the amount of food at one meal. Our family has gained so much from your food les- sons.—M. E. Here is a die} plan for high blood pressure: The modern theory of the cause of this condition is that it is due to poisons located in the intestines. The first thing to do. therefore, I= to withdraw from the diet foods that are especially llable to putrefaction in the intestines. This means that for awhile. at least, it 1 be better to omit meats, meat broths and fish. 1f} vou are accustomed to tea and coftee, I should not cut them out suddenly, but it will be better if you gradualiy decrease them, putting cereal coffee in their place. The next thing to do is to tematically go about having perfect intestinal cleanliness. Naturally, the diet list which T will give presently will be made up of foods that help to accomplish intestinal activity This result, however. cannot be brought about by food alone. I sus-| gest that you use some form of bran | or paraffin oil and warm enemas two | or three times a week until you are | perfectly certain that intestinal health has been restored. Some authorities go so far as to say three bowel movements a day are necessary at first. Now You are ready to think about what you may eat. Practically all vegetables will be good, especially celery, tomatoes, radishes, cucumber: carrots, cabbage, turnip, olives, pota- | toes and lettuce. If you are down- town at lunch time you can prob-| ably get one of the popular “vege-| ccoarse flour. Bran bread makes ! proper arrangements for vegetable meals at home. The bread should be tours old and should be made of | coarse flower. Mran bread makes very good toast, and can be used for breakfast as well as muffins. While on the subject of bran I might say that lext you think bran three times i a day will be monotonous, vou will | find that the various preparations on the market are very palatable to be used as a cereal. Then by way ofs varying these you have, as I said be- | fore, bran muthins or toast, and ma also add bran to your breakfast oat- meal. ! To return to the other foods, the | cereals may include wheat, puffed wheat, wheat flakes and other forms | of ready-to-eat cereals. The desserts | should be simple, and should include | fruit gelatine, fruit ices, tapioca and other starchy and fruity dishes. Cot- tage cheese makes a very excellent body-builder, and may be served in soups and salads and as meat sub- stitutes. Fresh berries, especially bicckber- rie§, are good; also melons, raisins, dates, figs and grapes. sys- twenty-four | Nutrition Nuggets. ! Food that is not needed immedi- | ately is stored in the body for future use, and it has been found that when there is a sudden call for energy and strength the stored-up starch is the first to be called upon. In fact. un- less there is sufficient starch stored away in the body the surpius fat that is also stored cannot be used prop- erly. This is a thought for those who are concerned about a “reducing diet.” Be very sure that you are not body by cutting starchy food. “orn ol is one of the by-products obtained in the manufacture of starch from corn. This oil is nourishing and | palatable, and may be used as a salad | oil. Corn is one of the few cereals! containing an appreciable quantity | of oil The contractions of the stomach | which cause the sensation known as| hunger are most numerous in chil- dren, decreasing gradually as ma-! turity and age advance. This ex-| plains why elderly persons are sald to have “small appetites.” It is, moreover, an indication that less food is needed. The saliva the first digestive juice which the food encounters. It is composed of water, certain inor- ganic salts, mucin and elements called enzymes, and directly concerned with the digestive processes. In the intgstines are found various types of organisms or bacteria. Some of these are beneficial to the body— in fact, necessary to the digestion of | food. Others are the direct result of | putrefaction, which- comes from undi- gested food. One source of the for- mer type is the starchy part of our food. Bacteria contained in properly prepared starch help the body in get- | ting rid of the bacteria which come from putrefying food. Although we are accustomed to think of the Intestines as organs to help rid the body of waste, we some- times forget that they have co- workers, namely, the lungs, kidneys and skin. Attention to good air, fluids and bathing, therefore, is im- | portant when we are striving to help rid the body of the waste products which cause disease. The value of food to the body de- pends upon the amount of material it furnishes after digestion. This means that the relative digestibility of foods is fmportant and demands care- ful study by those who are charged with the responsibility of formulat- ing dietaries. HOW IT STARTED , BY JEAN NEWTON. out too much Clean as Hound's Tooth. This phrase is familiar in common usage to describe a person or a deed absolutely above reproach or sus- picion. It was Theodore Roosevelt who, by his own use of it, brought the expres- sion into popularity in common speech. > It s sald, however, to be a very old one, originating in the parlance of hunters, who, in order to prevent their game being .destroyed, trained their dogs not to tear or eat th fallen prey. v So a properly trained hound’s teeth after the chase are absolutely clean, and the experession, in its figurative senge, describes something utterly freé of contamination.

While many familles regard eggs solely as a breakfast dish, they are susceptible to many adaptations that make them delicious for luncheons. There is no better way to serve them than to have them scalloped. Take one dozen eggs, one cup of breadcrumbs and one pint of milk. Boil the eggs hard and when cool slice them. Butter a haking dish and place in it the breadcrumbs and sliced eggs in alternate layers, with gener- ous pieces of butter scattered through each layer and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Cover the top of the dish with the breadcrumbs and pour over the milk. Bake until brown, and vou have a dish that is inexpensive and delicious. (Copyright, 1924.)
