of so-called tonics,

to put color into

soothe irritable |
nerves, to over-|

feeling. |
We know today why their efforts |
met with little success. For we |
have learned what they could not |
know—that the best possible tonic |
is a carefully chosen diet rich in!
minerals and vitamins,
In those days, the science of |
nutrition was in its infancy. Vita- |
mins were still undiscovered, and |
there was much that we had not |
learned about the role of the
eral salts in regulating body proc- |
esses. No wonder mothers grasped |
at any mixture that promised to |
put roses back into the cheeks of |
their anemic-looking children.
How lucky we are today! For |
science has taught us what we
should eat to help increase pep |

blood. And modern methods of |
transportation, refrigeration, food
preservation and packaging, have
made the necessary foods easily
available. It merely remains for
the homemaker to acquaint her-
self with the nutritional needs of
her family.
Enriching the Blood
The blood is frequently impov- |
erished by the time spring puts in
an appearance. That is not sur-
prising, for in many households

fats, with far too few of the pre- |
cious minerals and vitamins. It |
is often deficient in iron, the min- |
eral that is required for the for- |
mation of the hemoglobin or red |
pigment in the blood, and in cop- |
per, which is required for the |
proper utilization of iron.
Inasmuch as 3 per cent of the |
blood cells are destroyed daily, it
is obvious that unless adequate
amounts of iron-rich foods are]
available to replace them, the |
number will soon become sub- |
normal. Moreover, it has been |
found that many minor disturb- |
ances of the body cause a loss of |
iron, and that mild infections are
a common cause of iron loss.
Thus, individuals who have been
consuming a diet that is barely |
adequate in respect to iron may

fection.
lron-Rich Foods
Every homemaker, therefore, |
should make a determined effort |
to include plenty of iron-rich foods |
in her menus. These foods in-
reals, dried fruits, lean meats and
green leafy vegetables.
Green vegetables cannot be em- |
phasized too strongly, for they

and fatty foods which provide
more heat and energy. And in- |
vestigations with children have |

is a certain sluggishness of blood |
Plenty of Bulk Required
There is still another reason
why green vegetables and fruits
quantities. These foods, along
with whole grain cereals, provide
an abundance of bulk or cellulose
which is necessary to help pro-
mote regularity. They tend to off-
set the effects of a too highly con-
centrated winter diet. Very often

come by adding to the diet a larg-
er proportion of these naturally
laxative foods.
It's also desirable to take an
adequate supply of fluids to help
flush the system of waste. In addi-
tion to a generous amount of wa-
ter, there should be a pint of milk
daily for every adult, a quart for
every child, and fruit juices in
abundance. Orange juice, grape-
fruit juice, pineapple juice and to-
mato juice all supply vitamins A,
B and C, and their refreshing fruit

found to be especially well ab-

Eat More Greens
Right now it is most important
to provide large amounts of dan-
delion greens, spinach, kale,
chard, watercress, lettuce and
green cabbage. Serve a cooked
green vegetable at one meal each
day and a generous green salad
at another.

How About Your Safety?
IF YOU know all the rules about |
wearing rubbers when it rains, |

you probably take pretty good |
care of your health. But how |
about your safety? |

ports that from the age of three |
years to 21, accidents kill more |
persons (both sexes) than any dis- |

to 40, accidents kill more males |
than any disease. :
Among males of all ages only |
heart disease claims more vic |
