If you remember that there are
five well established rules which
govern the selection of the food you
feed your family, meal planning be
comes quite simple. Scientists have
worked out these five definite formu
lae for your guidance, and each meal
of the day must be planned with
them all in mind.
For the sake of the brides who
have joined the ranks of meal plan
ners during the past few months
here’s the first rule—you must main
tain a balanced diet. This means
that, unless one is dieting under a
physician’s supervision, protein, car
bohydrate and fat must be supplied
in. definite proportions.
It has been estimated that the
minimum calory required for a day
for adults is twleve calories to each
pound of body weight. (Children re
quire more food in proportion to
their weight than grown-ups.) So
multipy the number of pounds you
weigh by twelve and you will know
how many calories you should eat
a day.
Naturally, physically active per
sons need more fuel or calories than
persons of sedentary habits. Never
theless, the proportionate distribu
tion of calories remains about the
same—ten to fifteen percent should
be protein, twenty-fiive percent fat,
and the remaining sixty to sixty-five
percent carbohydrates.
The second rule concerns mineral
constituents. Calcium, phosphorous,
iron, iodine, copper, and other min
erals should be in evidence at every
meal.
Thirds there must be protective
foods. That means those rich in vi
tamins, such as fruits and green ve
getables.
Fourth, calculate a pint of milk
for each adult and a quart of milk
for each child.
Finally, every meal should con
tain something crisp for the sake ol
the teeth.
As you know each group of foods
is necessary for a specific reason.
Fortunately, well balanced meals
can be economical ones, too. Leaf
lettuce is a rich source of vitamin*
and supplies just p.s much bulk as
does the more expensive head let
tuce. Cabbage always is compara
tively cheap, and is even more cram
med with vitamins than celery. To
mato juice is less potent than orange
juice, but if used in larger quantities
has the same beneficial effect. Inex
pensive cuts of meat, properly pre
pared, will do as well by the proteins
as the more expensive cuts. Eggless
deserts take care of the sugar cal
ories.
V. CHARLES E. DUNN
Lesson for December 31: Matthew
Golden Text: John 15: 14.
13: 54-14; 4; 15: 29-31.
A checkered pavement of white
and black may remind us of the
presence in human life of the two
great forces of good and evil. And
it was natural that there appeared
both friends and foes of the king
dom Jesus came to establish.
Jesus returned to his hom« town.
When he spoke in the synagogue,
the people said: “I* not this the car
penter’s son?” And they were of
fended, and Jesus did there no
mighty works because of their un
belief. “He came unto his own,” as
John, writes, “and his own received
him not.”
Herod the tatrarch, dwelt with a
bad companion—a guilty conscience.
For he had, at the behest of Here
dias, cast John the Baptist into pri
son, and later cut off his head. And
he fancied that John had risen from
the dead and appeared in the person
of Jesus. For no evil that John or
Jesus had done, but for the monst-.
rous evil he had done, he feared and
hated Jesus.
On the other hand, see the multi
tudes who gathered to Jesus on a
mountain near the Sea of Galilee,
“having with them the lame, blind,
dumb, maimed and many others”—
that Jesus might heal them. These
were phophetic of the vast number
in every nation who were destined
to come into the kingdom of God.
And may the eyes of God’s people
be opened now to see that the
heavenly forces with them are more
than all the forces of evil arrayed
against them. And with renewed
consecration to Him whose birthday
has just been celebrated, may they
face the New Year with courage,
and give themselves more earnestly
as citizens of the kingdom to extend
it in the world.

CHEMISTRY change
Looking forward, as I am always ]
impelled to do with the approach of
a new year on the calendar, I have
ar idea that the greatest material
changes in the world to come will be
those which come out of the chemical
laboratories. Looking backward I
can remember the introduction of the
first important chemical products on
which great industries were founded.
Here were aniline dyes, developed
by German chemists from the scien
tific discoveries of Sir William Perkin,
an Englishman, and there was the
first of the plastics, celluloid, a chem
ical compound invented by John W.
Hyatt, who created a new substance
by treating cotton cellulose with ni
tric acid.
Today almost everybody uses some
kind of a plastic product made in the
chemical works. Words like cellu
loid, tenite, bakelite, beetleware, ca
sein, catalin, koroseal, pyralin, lucite,
and scores of others are common
words designating substances of
which our grandfathers never heard
or dreamed, all out of the chemists’
magical retorts.
RUBBER artificial
The Sptnish invaders of Mexico
found the Aztec children playing with
elastic balls made from the sap of
a tree. They took some back to Eu
rope, where it was found that it
would erase pencil marks, hence the
name “rubber.” That’s all it was
used for until recent years. Now
It’s hard to imagine a world with
out rubber.
Nearly thirty years ago a famous
German chemist, Dr. Duisburg, show
ed me a tire of artificial rubber,
which he had made from turpentine.
Now American scientists have found
ways to make something better than
natural rubber out of such common
substances as air, coal, limestone, and
water.
Writing in the “India Rubber
World” about the newest of these,
called koroseal, S. L. Brous, engineer
of the B. F. Goodrich Company, says
that in case of war all the necessary
supply of this material could be pro
duced in less than a yea?. It not
only serves all the purposes of nat
ural rubber, but withstands gases
and chemicals which quickly destroy
the tree-grown product.
COMMERCE freedom
I was pleased to read in the pa
pers that the Secretary of Commerce
is considering ways to remove many!
of the restrictions upon free trade |
between the various states of the
Union. The troubles of the states
over commerce restrictions were
what led to the calling of the Consti
tutional Convention in 1787.
The Constitution prohibits any
state from imposing duties on im
ports, but lately many states have
tried to keep goods from other states
out by imposing heavy taxes. In
New York, for instance, it is illegal
to bring in cigarettes from New Jer
sey without paying the New York
sales tax. Some states impose a:
heavy penalty on commercial auto-|
mobiles entering or crossing them. |
That seems all wrong to me. What;
has made the United States the |
great nation that it is has been thati
it is the largest settled area in the]
world over which trade and people ;
are free to move without restrictions.,
Unless the new tendency is checked j
we are likely to become divided into |
little selfish units, like the nations i
of Europe, with customs barriers ati
every state boundary.
I don’t believe Congress will fall
for any such scheme. The failure of
recent state efforts to tax the chains
out of business indicate that there is
a strong public sentiment running
the other way. The Council of State
Governments went on record lately
against such punitive taxation, and
hundreds of farm, labor, consumer,
and business organizations are op
posing any laws which tend to raise
living costs.
BUSINESS prosperity
I’ve been talking with a lot of
business men lately, and they all
say that business is pretiy good. Re
tail stores have done the largest
Christmas business in years. Manu
facturers of consumer goods, such as
food, clothing, and the like are
happy over present conditions.
There is great activity in the build
ing industry, mainly in residential
construction.
In the so-called “heavy industries”
men in that line say that the Eu
ropean war has eiven a new stimu
lus, and the United States defense
preparations are putting ship-build
ers, gun-makers, and producers of
other military goods to work as never
since the Great War. The builders
of airplanes and their equipment are
rushed with work.
All that seems to spell a prosper
ous New Year. I wouldn’t bet that
the war-stimulated prosperity will
last, but it’s good while it does last.
TAXES
chains
There is only one proper purpose
of taxation That is to raise revenue
for the expenses of government. Not
only states but the Federal govern
ment have put the taxing power at
work as a method of punishing peo
ple whom politicians dislike, or of
enabling states to set up barriers
against trade with other states.
I have in mind such schemes as
the one which Representative Pat
man of Texas has been trying to get
Congress to enact. His bill would
put a Federal tax on all chain stores
dbing business iq interstate corns
merce, the tax rate increasing with
the number of stores and the number
of states in w v ich the chain oper
ates. A chain of 200 stores operat
ing in 30 states, for example, would
be taxed $2,700,000, which would put
any organization out of business.
Find the Queen
PASADENA. Calif. . . . These seven beauties were in the finals for the
choice of the Queen of the 1940 Tournament of Roses. All of the girls
are from the Pasadena Junior College, where ofllcials started out with
3.000 beautiful co-eds to choose from.
MILLS ARE GOOD CITIZENS
Read the ad in this issue of the
Cotton Manufacturers association. It
will give you a new appreciation of
the vital part they play in our eco
nomic life. For instance they pay
22 per cent of all taxes, and is the
state’s largest employer of labor.
South Carolina hasn’t done the
square thing by the mills. Perhaps
that would be better corrected to say
that certain politicians of the Olin
Johnston type. South Carolina citi
zens as a whole, we are sure, want
the mills to be treated justly. The
present state administration is sym
pathetic to industry, and we hope
the elections next summer will not
materially change its complexion.
Other states are getting mills and
we can get them too when capital
becomes convinced that South Caro
linians do not wish to destroy it.
We cordially extend to all our
loyal friends and customers all
the joys of a completely happy
New Yeai.
