WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1920 Two Meals a Day Sufficient For People Over Thirty Years; | Walk a Mile on One Caramel! NEW YORK PHYSICIAN’S THEORIES By Fay Stevenson Copyright, 1920, by The Press Publishing Oo (The New York Brening World) MAN may walk a mile or single caramel, “A ¥ Medical Association consumption of the ages. replaced by “It will come as more on the energy furnished by @ Or, to put the matter differently, one caramel too much requires a mile or more to ‘walk it off,” writes the author of an editorial in The Journal of the American (Chicago) in a current iseue. “Candy is no longer tabooedy nor its purchase restricted by a Food Administration. Strangely enough, the en- forcement of Prohibition has apparently increased the sugar-containing temperance bever- The calorific potency of alcohol is likely to be the fuel value of ‘sweets’ eaten here and there between meals. @ surprise to most persons to learn on reliable authority that a single caramel, e nougatine, or a penny’s worth of candy may furnish sufficient energy to supply the extra heat needed for walking a mile. Equally startling will be the news that the ingestion of three seemingly insignificant yield the amount of heat liberated in @ half- mile walk.” If this is true, think of the danger of eating between meals! One creamy Uttle fudge sundae, two or three bon bons or a portion of Welsh rabbit taken between meals would certainly give one a tremendous amount of energy. “What do you think of this theory #hat a caramel may furnish the energy for a mile ‘2 I asked Dr. Elinor Van Buskirk at her office, No 605 W. 11th Street. Dr, Van Buskirk bag been doing a great deal of re- search work for the Board of Educa- tion in regard to the proper nourish- olives can ment for school ldren and food values are one of her especial lines, “Well, you know what a small quantity of medicine we take to af- fect us," replied Dr. Van Buskirk, “Consider what a teaspoonful of medicine may do, or a tiny tablet! “While I can't state just how much extra energy a single caramel might Produce,” laughed Dr, Van Buskirk, “1 will admit 1 am a radical upon the Subject of food and eating between mieals.

(The Now York Evening World.) DEAR THINKERS: I wish there were terminals! I never see a car marked “Terminal” that I do not want to hug it. There are too many people in this world who are always riding on the trolleys. ‘They never get off! There are no terminals, They go round and round and never get anywhere and they never GET OFF! If you are getting this going round and round habit, for goodness’ sake, come to a terminal, Come to the get: ting-off place. The conduc- | tor is tired of seeing you—he | does not know where you are going. He will have to put you off at the terminal, Get off NOW! Give your tired brain a rest -go in other | awhile | oP! | ils more the direction rice between meals? Oh, no, it must be an almond bar, a frappe or a doughnut. An almond bar contains 600 calories—more than any other type of candy, although just plain, hard candy contains 100 calories. “I think that every modern doctor agrees that candy 1s not harmful. But when one considers what a large number of calories ali candy con- tains, one should always eat st after meals and then plan to eat less food containing the same amount of calo- ries, If more people realized the values of the foods they are eating |they would try to balance their food rations better, “For instance, here is a@ little dessert which I consider a meal in \tself—it is what I call a perfectly balanced dish, It consists of 1 ban- ana, 4 dates, $ walnuts, two table- spoons of whipped cream, The ban- ana contains starch, the dates na- tural sugar, the walnuts protein and he cream fat. “The person who is well nourished, Who eats a well balanced meal con- taining the proper amount of pro- teins, fats and calories, will not crave food between meals as much 4s the person who eats too much of one type of food.” “I have heard doctors express the opinion that persons may eat a full meal and then two hours later take but one bite and retard the digestion of the whole dinner. Is that true?’ I asked Dr. Van Buskirk. “To a certain degree, of course, the on is retarded in the fact that extra gastric juices and many of the digestive organs are called upon to act before they have finished aasim{. lating what has been already taken into the system, ating between meals destroys the appetite for the next meal, because the stomach js overtaxed.

C3 LLABELLE MAE DOOLITTLE, the noted postess of Delhi, gave @ poem recital in Hugus Hai Sunday afternoon, assisted by Mag- gie Gusher on the piano and Willetta Snickersby on the violin, It was a benefit for the Shoeless Children of South Africa Fund, which is being raised by the Help Others Section of he Charity Committee of the Women's Betterment League. A good house was present, the receipts totalling $23.82. Of this sum the fund received 43.82 and the rest went to pay for the gown Miss Doolittle wore, which was, of course, absolutely essential to the success of the cntertainment. The affair began at 3 o'clock when Miss Gosher played Pabst's Study for Piano-forte, No. 16, a very difficult composition and one without @ jingle in it, The effect of her rendition of this gem was weird. Mra, Camel Dikko, who once heard it played by Pabst himself, sald it was great “I never heard No, 16 done quite a fine,” she said, “But don't you think clumsy?" asked Mra, Stidger Woftter, also a student of the piano-forte “1 do not,” snapped Mrs. Dikko, “She fingered it as well as Pabst did but of course she isn’t quite as melo- dious.”” "It's a sweet little walts,” gested Mrs, Cutey Boggs. At that Mrs, Dikko just had to laugh, “It tsn't a waltz, Cutey,” she said, “It's a magurka-profunde.” “I thought Pabst was the walts king," said Mra, Boggs.

Her hair was in a top-knot on which perched an imitation crowing rooster done in real feathers. “My contribution to the entertain- ment,” said Miss Doolittle, when the applause had subsided, “will be a poem fantasy called ‘Love-Making in China by the Sea!"
