Safequarding Health
They should realize also that one |
can suffer from dietary deficien-
cies and live . . . though he may
not live well! A man can exist
upon much less than the amount
of iron required for normal
health . . but he probably can-
not escape secondary anemia. He
may be able to get along on a
meager supply of vitamins
but the chances are that his vital-
ity will be greatly diminished. And |
he will face the constant threat of
disease that follows in the wake
of lowered resistance.
Nothing is more foolish than to
suppose that what a man eats is
entirely his own business! It is a |
matter of grave concern to his |
wife and children. For it has been |
suggested that fully one-half of |
the illnesses of the American peo-
ple may be traceable directly, or!
indirectly, to dietary deficiencies.

Eggs belong on the breakfast
menu, too, because they are a top-

Balancing the Big Meal
Whether the main meal of the
day is served at noon or at night,
it should be well-balanced, to help
safeguard health, and appetizing,
to make it so enjoyable that it will
be digested efficiently.
It should be built first of all
around a protein food: meat;
fresh, canned, or quick-frozen
fish: cheese, chicken, an egg dish,
or a casserole of hearty baked
beans. There should be an energy
food such as sweet or white po-
tatoes, rice, macaroni, or noodles,
though frequently this can be com-
bined with the protein food, as in
cheese macaroni or beef stew. For
variety and palate pleasure, oc-
casionally serve baked bananas.
They rank as an energy food, and
also contribute important miner.

Questions Answered
Mrs. G. M. L.—At the present
| time, nutritionists have not yet de-
| termined the exact amounts of vi-
G and E that should be
| supplied daily. It is known, how-
ever, that a diet which furnishes
plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole
grains ilk will protect the
body against a shortage of either
vitamin G or E.

Gardeners
Rock Garden Advice
ELECTION of flowers and their
location in the garden can
make or break your rock garden.
Therefore, descriptions on seed
packets must be read carefully
when seeds are bought, and the
plan of the rock garden must be
carefully worked out.
Creeping plants, for instance,
should be allowed to make carpets
Erect plants may be used in flat
spaces. Trailing plants should be
allowed to droop over the face of
rocks, or they may be placed at
the top of the bank or wall.
In smaller crevices, tufted
plants with rosettes of foliage and
short flower stalks are suitable.
Ordinary garden or bedding plants
should be eliminated from consid-
eration for the rock garden, it is
advised by Gilbert Bentley, flower
expert.
True rock garden plants grow
less than 10 inches tall. Use only
low-growing annuals and perenni-
ais that grow among rocks in their
native haunts—those that belong
by nature among stones.
