That food is gelatin! What Is Gelatin? Gelatin is a protein food which has no equal as a carrier, binder and “‘extender’ of a wide variety of other nutritive ma- terials. nical- | ly, it is classed as | a colloid, which] means that in solu tion, it can be re moved from its sol- vent by filtration It is because of this that 1t 1s sO useful in producing delicious dainties, | smooth, jce creams and free from ice crystals. Gelatin is an almost pure pro- tein—a kind of protein known as | an albuminoid. It is not a com- | plete protein, because it is defi. cient in three of the amino acids that are necessary both to support growth and repair body tissues. In this it differs from meat, cheese, | fish, eggs and i are other milk, which known as complete proteins, It cannot be used the sole source of protein in the diet, be- cause those three missing amino acids are necessary for the for- mation of new body tissue. But it is especially rich in lysine, one of the protein building stones that is particularly important in the diet of children. Experiments indicate that no other amino acid can take the place of lysine and that it must be furnished by the food if adequate nutrition is to be main- tained. That coupled with the fact that ft is non-irritating and easily di-| gestible accounts for the large part it plays in the diet of infants and young children. as { How It Is Made Contrary to old wives’ tales, gel- atin is not made from hoofs and | horns. In fact, there is no gelatin | in hoofs or horns. It is extracted | from connective tissue in the skins | and from the bones of food ani-| mals. Every homemaker who has soup by simmering a knuckle bone for hours, and has found the soup ‘‘jellied’’ after standing overnight in the refrig erator, has prepared gelatin on a The same principles are followed by the gelatin manu- in a much larger food kitchen, and | each step of the preparation is! controlled so as to Ot Crocheted Lace EET PLE AH ay il po : Sa “odb Pattern 6168 Spend spare moments profitably with your crochet hook and some string and add charm to your home with crocheted accessories that match!

HOUSTON GOUDISS It is an alarming fact that al- most every adult in this great land | of ours is affected by some form of oral disease, and that more than 90 per cent of our school prominent medical authority made instead of almost more than half of all Remarkable and widely herald- ed advances have been made in | our knowledge of how to control | and prevent many dangerous and | debilitating diseases. A decayed | tooth is a poison factory, distribut- | ing its noxious product to every | part of the body. In the body, | that poison attacks and centers in the weakest spot. It may lead to neuritis, rheumatic ailments, dyspepsia, or duodenal ulcers. It may even be a contributing cause of heart disease. Only a small percentage of our population is yet aware of the far- reaching effects of teeth upon health. There is a close relation- ship between healthy teeth and healthy bodies, and between de- cayed teeth and sickly bodies. By learning something of the importance of caring properly for the teeth, some men and women of middle age look and feel young- er than their parents did at the same age. I have endeavored in many of the WHAT TO EAT AND WHY articles, which have appeared in this newspaper over my signature, 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, beautiful teeth. 1 have received many letters from readers of these articles, showing that homemakers are eager for sound, authoritative ad- vice on the proper care of the teeth. To help these and other readers to know how to properly care for their teeth, I have pre- In the Reducing Diet Both men and women who are counting their calories, in an ef- fort to avoid overweight, or to reduce, can profit by taking gela- tin salads and desserts, which sat- isfy hunger without providing un- wanted fuel value.
