Cumming. It is a common fallacy in many minds that there exists somewhere in the world an ideal food--some jone material that will satisfy all the needs of the body and that could this material be found we would be able to save much of the thought and expense of arranging our meals and be freed from the danger of eat- ing thé wrong kind of food. body, however, have taught us that there are few substances that con- tain the proportions of protein and fuel foods necessary to meet our needs. If, for instance, you eat enough beef to satisfy the protein needs of the body and eat nothing else, you will have an insufficient supply of fuel. If you eat enough beef to sup- ply the fuel needs of the body you will take in too much protein. On the other hand, if you try to live on fruit you will have to eat about the equivalent of thirty-five pounds of apples to supply the me- cessary protein, whereas nine pounds would supply sufficient energy but there would be a shortage of protein. Baked potatoes, onfons, corn, almonds and bread approach a bal- anced diet, but even these fall far short. Potatoes and corn alone would have to be consumed in large quantities to meet the needs. ] The Need of Proper Diets; Variety in F ood Is Essential ANNE NNN NEARER NARNENEN Careful studies of food substances; land their effects upon the human ety The resort to cheap foods may lead to malnutrition through an excessive amount of starches. Meat is a valuable food but there are objections to the excessive use of meat. Bacteria thrive better in the in- tstines of those who eat too much meat and whilg there are both good and bad bacteria the products of the activity of these intestinal bacteria may sometimes be injurious. Also, with the excessive use of meat you are likely to accumulate an excess of protein. Any excess of proteins, unless burned up by physical exercise, must be thrown off from the body by the action of the liver and kidneys he- cause the body has no way of storing up a surplus of proteins. If we take too much fat or carbo-hydrates we are usually able to convert some carbo-hydrates into fat, but this is gerous after forty. ------ Fallacy of Superstition. There is an old superstition that has gained much general credence. You probably have heard it said that "Every part feeds a part," that is, that certain foods should be eaten for the benefit 'of special parts of the body.

Combination Necessary. If we cannot live on bread alone, "| certainly we shall not be able to find any other one substance that will meet the dietary requirements of the day. 4 It is necessary to combine high protein foods with low protein foods in such proportions as will furnish bulk, the proper nutritive ratio, and will; at the same time, suit the taste. Persons unacquainted' with the importance of 'a balanced diet often purchase food entirely on the basis of appetite or the temptations of the market; also there are those who are 80 poor as to be unable to buy any- thing but the cheapest articles to be obtained, and such persons often suffer from malnutrition. In the case of school ghildren the indulgence of the appetite in an ex- cessive amount of sweets and the consequent throwing of the diet out of balance has been found to be a frequent cause of malnutrition. tion with the building up of any spe- cial part or tissue. - Ordinary food materials contain an abundance of salts in their natural condition and except in goitrous dis- tricts it used to be unusual to see a person suffering from lack of minerals in the diet. With the de- velopment of manufacturing pro- cesses, however, and the over- refinement of certain foods which are prepared for the market, some lime, much of the phosphorus, and other of the mineral substances are fre- quently lost. Much vitamin is alse lost in"some of these processes. The digestive system is subject to individual. peculiarities, but there are some foods that are more easily digested than others, Milk contains fats, carbo-hydrates, proteins, and salts in a very easily digested form. Meat proteins and fats of all kinds are digested with relative ease but the protéin and fats of meat are inclosed within cell walls, y The material of which these cell walls are composed is not so easily digested. In cooking much of this material is broken up, but here again the manner of cooking has an important influence upon digestion. mem, ~ --~-- | AT DESERT LAKE. Meeting Held by Dr. Edwards at A. B.
