But the spending goes on. Seemingly, the President is bent on not removing even a straw of the tax load that is making the American taxpayer Jook like a hunchback, figuratively speaking. Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia con- | tinues to point out the vast waste by the federal government of taxpayers’ funds. He and many other senators, as well as representatives, believe that at the next session of congress the economy bloc will cut down government spending by several billion. Representative Syd. Herlong, Florida,s freshman’ congressman, advances a pro- posal that would decrease federal spend- ing if administration leaders would act favorably on the advice. He says the gov- ernment should be as careful in its spend- ing as a thrifty family is in balancing its budget. But the leaders will not give. heed to what he said. They have stopped talking in millions and - now blare about billions. Some have advocated deficit government spending to try to bring back prosperity. Other officials, close to the President, are regaling us with predictions that one million additional jobs may be available by the end of the year. While The Citizen would be immensely pleased if that pre- diction turns ‘out to be true, yet it can be guided safely only by past performances of similar economic conditions. One past per- formance was the prediction after ‘predic- tion that prosperity was just around the corner while the Roosevelt administration continued to spend billions in pump prim- ing that proved to be futile to build up the nation’s economy. The enormous tax structure, with the administration apparently determined to keep it enormous, has driven business to cover. Billions of dollars that, ordinarily, would be ‘put in productive channels, are kept inoperative because of high taxation. MODERNIZE YOUR DIET y Tf you want to bring your diet up-to- ‘date, you must keep tab on vitamins, calories, preteins, fats, water, salt, cal- cium and other minerals. In 1941, the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council brought out a table of “requirements.” It has been revised in the light of scientific findings and the amounts specified are higher than before. Two essentials have been added, vitamin K, the anti-blood-clotting vitamin, and follic acid, one of the B family, a preventive of some childhood diseases and of some effect on intelli- gence. The daily requirement for calories re- mains within the range of 4,500 for 154- pound men engaged in heavy work, to 2,000 for 128-pound sedentary women, For children, between 1200 calories be- tween the ages one and three, with an average weight of twenty-seven pounds, to 2600 for children from ten to twelve with an average weight of about seventy- eight pounds. The standerd requirement for proteins is unchanged but between sixty and seventy grams a day. Calcium, essential far bone and tooth-building, is increased twenty-five per cent to one grama day. The fat requirement is uncertain, but gene- rally, it is desirable that fat make up from twenty to twenty-five per cent of the total calories consumed, although for very active persons and for children and adolescents, the percentage should be around thirty- five per cent of total calories. The standerd allowance of water for adults is slightly more than two quarts daily but for an active man consuming 4500 calories, the standerd moves up _ to four and a half quarts. In hot weather and at hard work, the requirements may touch twelve quarts a day. Thirst is usu- ally an adequate guide except for children and sick persons. The need for salt and water is closely related. A liberal salt allowance is about five grams daily, except for those who sweat profusely and they need four to five times as much. The figures given above are somewhat of an average and special allowance must be made inthe case of growing children and pregnant women. For more exact in- formation as to your probable needs, it would be well to consult your family doctor, MRS.
