WHERE MONEY GOES ($1 >t What to Eat and Why C. Houston Goudiss Describes Correct Diet for Cool Weather; Explains How to Keep Warm and Well By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS M ANY people look upon fall weather with foreboding. They cannot observe leaves on the ground without a feeling of vague uneasiness—and the sight of brown and barren fields fills them with desolation. This, I think, is a throwback to an earlier day when the advent of cool weather foretold long months of bitterly cold days in draughty, inadequate-^ ly heated houses. And the lack of adequate heat was only one of many difficulties. The prin cipal reason for fearing cold weather is another heritage from the past. Limited Diet of an Earlier Day There was a time within mem ory of many of us when the terms “cold-weather di et” and “warm- weather diet” had real meaning. Win ter food differed a great deal from summer food, par ticularly in the ab sence of fresh fruits and vege tables, and in the restricted use of milk, and milk products. The limited diet of winter was enforced by conditions of that pe riod. Methods of production, transportation, refrigeration and storage of foods, which are com monplace today, were then un known. Fruits and vegetables were con sumed when and where they were grown, and when cold weather prevented their growth, they were not available. The canning indus try was young and the grocery store in cold weather presented a far different appearance from the modern food store in which the shelves are lined, row upon row, with shining cans of the fin est fruits and vegetables to be found anywhere in the world, plus an amazing assortment of pre pared milks. It was an accepted fact that fruits, vegetables, and the gener ous use of milk belonged to the summer months, while in winter everyone ate an unbalanced diet. As a result of lacking these essen tial protective foods, health went down rapidly from late fall to early spring. The winter diet was deficient in minerals and vitamins, which sci ence has proven to be the pro tectors of health, barriers against disease, sustainers of life. But in those days, vitamins were un known and very little had been learned about minerals. There fore, when people became ill dur ing cold weather, the natural con clusion was that sickness was in evitable during the winter season. Cold Weather Really a Tonic Times have changed. Scientific knowledge has increased. The genius of man has asserted itself in mechanical advancement. The expressions, “cold-weather diet” and “warm-weather diet,” have lost their former meaning. Almost without exception, the protective foods are available throughout the year, no matter where we live. It is therefore possible to pro tect the health by a balanced diet all the year 'round, and to benefit by the tonic effect of cold weather. For, contrary to popular belief, cold weather is beneficial, and not harmful, to healthy people. Cold speeds up all the activities of the body. The circulation is im proved, muscle tone is increased, and digestion, absorption and elimination are stimulated. Even prolonged cold is thus a tonic to health, provided we do not weaken onr bodies by an unbalanced diet. It is partly because so many people continue to eat improperly, in spite of our newer knowledge of nutrition, that we still find an increasing amount of sickness in the fall, which mounts steadily until it reaches its peak in the months of January, February and March. Dangers of an Improper Diet Yet winter need have no terrors for the fit. Only the weak, the unfit, surrender and become its victims. That the number of vic tims is large each winter merely indicates how many people neg lect their health through careless living, and especially through careless eating. Measures to protect one’s self against the attack of winter should be taken during the sum mer and early fall. A sturdy re sistance against the ills of winter should be built up by means of a balanced diet which assures an abundant supply of the minerals and vitamins. When a person is undernour ished or improperly nourished, he is denied of every defense. He is chilled by the slightest drop in temperature. He offers fertile soil for every kind of disease germs. He can neither resist their inva sion, nor fight them off after they have attacked. N Thus, the first rule for keeping warm and well in winter is to live and eat in a manner that helps to maintain health and strength. The correct winter diet differs in one important respect—and one only— from the correct diet at other sea sons. As a rule, people are more en- Pretty Clothes That You Can Work In CHOWN here is a house dress ^ designed for large women. Every line of this simple dress is made for comfort and good looks.

Nearly all children, and adults who spend much of their time out doors, should consume more high caloric foods which may be provided in the form of easily digested carbohydrates, such as rice, macaroni, spaghetti, noodles, potatoes, cereals and breadstuffs. In the case of adults, the amount of fats may also be increased and in some circumstances, more sweets may likewise be taken. To summarize, the cold weather diet should include a quart of milk daily for every child, a pint for each adult; two fruits daily, or one fruit and one fruit juice—and while one serving may be a dried frait, such as prunes, apricots or figs, there should be one serving of a citrus fruit, or tomatoes, to provide vitamin C; two vegetables besides potatoes, one of which should be of the green, leafy va riety, either fresh or canned; an egg daily, or at least three or four weekly; one daily serving of meat,' fish or chicken, and a second pro tein food snch as cheese, dried peas or beans or nuts; and enough of the fuel foods including whole grain cereals, to keep the body warm and comfortable. If you eat correctly and dress sensibly so that you are neither too warmly clad indoors nor too thinly clad out of doors, you can enjoy cold weather and benefit by it to the extent of increased health and happiness.

Houston Goudiss—193S—M, Your Health May Depend on You Teeth Am Editorial by G Houston Goudiss The reason why some men and women in their middle years look and feel younger today than their parents did at the same age, is because they have learned some thing of thfe importance of curing properly for their teeth. In recent years, dentists have discovered that sound teeth are in truth a passport to good health, and that there is as close a relationship be tween healthy teeth and healthy bodies as between decayed teeth and sickly bodies. Unfortunately, however, only a small percentage of our popula tion is yet aware of the far-reach ing effects of teeth upon health, and a distinguished scientist is so disturbed over our national ignor ance in this respect that he has said that unless this trend is re versed, the course of human evo lution will lead downward to ex tinction. That statement is no exaggeration. For it would be difficult to over-estimate the influ ence of the teeth on human health and happiness. For many years I have endeav ored to explain that a neglected tooth—which soon becomes a de cayed tooth—is a poison factory, distributing its noxious products to every part of the body, and that it may lead indirectly to neuritis, rheumatic ailments, dyspepsia, and other obscure complaints. In many of the “WHAT TO EAT AND WHY” articles, which have appeared in this newspaper over my signature, I have endeavored to point out the close relationship between diet and dental disease; between frequent and thorough brushing of the teeth with an effi cient dentifrice so as tp remove all food particles, and strong, beauti ful teeth. As a result of these articles, X have received many letters, show ing that homemakers are eager for sound, authoritative advice on the proper care of the teeth. To help these and other readers how to properly care for their teeth, I have prepared a booklet on— “BUILDING AND PLANNING HEALTH” which I am offering FREE, because I feel so strongly that this information should be in every home, knowing as I do, that the salvation of the human raeo may lie in saving their teeth. |s00THf„ IMO »8!JIttl5 SNOW-WHITE PETROLEUM JELLY Harry—Clothes don’t make the man.
