FEATURES. _— New Vitamin and Old Diet Theory BY LYDIA LE BARON The importance of having a mixed diet as well as well balanced menus is impressed upon us by the fact that a new vitamin reported to have heen just discovered. This vitamin is so newly found thac it is still without a name. But then, the word vitamin itself has so recently become one in our vocabulary that it Is not to be found in any but the later editions of dictionaries and velopedias.

The ideal diet is the one that in- cludes foods containing the right pro portions of the various vitamins to sustain life in its most perfect form. consist of it is impossible to say, for consti- | tutions are so different. It is recog- nized, however, that a mixed diet is | imperative for the normal individual. ince it has been discovered that one | sort of food contains the vitamin “A" and another the vitamin “B,” and so on through the several divisions, and | that these different vitamins are found in largest quantities in foods that are dissimilar, the necessity of well bal- anced menus is apparent. Its Bearing at Table. | Sometimes it would seem a bit dis couraging to the average housewife | to hear about all these scientific food | discoverles. They are so important and yet she has neither the time to make a study of them nor the ave-| nues for the research. What then can she do, especlally as develop- ments, such’ as the one of the new vitamin, are constantly being shown The one outstanding fact that re quires no special study on her part is that she should serve a mixed diet To emphasize this fact is the purpose of my article today. The idea is a pleasant one, and not in the least dis- turbing. Delights the Palate. We find that not only is ‘“variety the spice of life,” but it is the stam ina, the essence also. Fortunately, a menu with variety is the most appeal- ing and tempting. The housewife who makes a point of including some dainty foods with what we are acc tomed to consider the substantials of meals will gratify a_distinct craving of appetites and at the same time be providing better sustenance. Dainty foods do not imply faney cookery. That may be indigestible, but delicate foods, such as endive and other suc- culent vegetables, fresh, luscious fruits, colorful berries that appeal to the eye us well as the palate, appe tizing relishes fn moderation, jellies made from pure fruit juices, sugar and water, etc. It is the table that has variety which provides the basis for supply- ing the many kinds of vitamins that we now know are essential to sturdy and healthy constitutions. ss variety in vour tables, avold getting into the habit of having re- stricted menus. It is not imperative, nor even desirable, to have too many | rfands at any one meal.
