Faux Pas
A tramp was sleeping behind the
bunker of a golf course when the
club secretary, prowling around,
kicked him none too gently and or-
dered him to clear out.
“And who are you?” demanded
the tramp.
“I'm secretary of the club,” said
the official.
This, I think,

of many difficulties. The prin-
cipal reason for fearing cold
Limited Diet of an Earlier Day
There was a time within mem-
‘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 vegeta-
bles, and in the re-
stricted use of
milk, and milk
products.
The limited diet of winter was

storage of foods, which are com-
monplace today, were then un-

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 {all
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
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
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
It is partly because so many
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
vietims. That the number of vie-
tims is large each winter merely
indicates how many people neg-
living, and especially
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.

and eat in a manner that helps to

sons.
More Fuel Foods Required
As a rule, people are more en-
ergetic in cold weather and it is
therefore necessary to
the unt
foods. Ne arly 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,

correct winter diet differs in one |
important respect—and one only—
Your Health May
Depend on Your Teeth
An Editorial by C Houston Goudiss
The reason why 5 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 the importance of caring
properly for their teeth. In recent
| years, dentists have discovered
amo
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 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 to remove all
food particles, and strong, beauti-
ful teeth.
As a result of these articles, I
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 tecth, 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 race
may lie in saving their teeth.
| son 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
each adult; two fruits daily, or
one fruit and one fruit juice—and
| while one serving may be a dried
fruit, such as prunes, apricots or
of a citrus fruit, or tomatoes, to
provide vitamin C; two vegetables
besides potatoes, one of which
should be of the green, leafy va-
riely, 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 such 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 2007S, you can
enjoy cold weather and benefit by
it to the extent of increased
health and happiness.
