The guide had taken him to the

make?”
“Oh,” said the tourist, “I'm just

mind so I shan’t forget them.”

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

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

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.

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

knuckle bone for hours, and has
found the soup ‘‘jellied’’ after

Gelatin is in two forms:
the unflavored, granulated prod-
uct which requires the addition
of flavoring, and when used for |
dessert purposes, sweetening; and |
the gelatin dessert powders which
contain added sugar, color, flavor
and fruit acid. So popular are
these convenient gelatin desserts,
that about 10,000,000 pounds of gel-
atin are used annually for this

Building, Maintaining
Healthy Teeth
By C. 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

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

This same splendid food is also
advised by doctors when a high
protein diet is desired to speed
growth, or during convalescence
from an illness. Gelatin may be
added to broths, milk, fruit and
vegetables, and these, in turn,
may be incorporafed in solidified
