Health Notes.
Diet.

Many people have now awakened to the fact that the food they have been eating did not supply their systems with the proper amount of calories, vitamins, minerals and roughage—substances which are indispensable in maintaining normal nutrition. The proper selection of foods should include all these properties, and if intelligently chosen will be found tasty and inviting.

The craze for discussion of the various diets has more or less vanished and it is becoming quite the orthodox custom for the people who are inclined to plumpness to avoid rich concoctions—pies, heavy sauces, fat meats, etc. It is easy to plan menus which supply proteins, mineral elements and

vitamins—such as lean meats, eggs, milk, fruits, and green vegetables. A diet that is monotonous enough to bore the appetite is not likely to be sufficiently well-balanced to supply the body with all the building material it requires.

A certain amount of starches and fats is necessary to avoid injury to the sugar utilising mechanism of the body, and to prevent fatigue and that uncomfortable feeling of hollowness. Therefore bread (with butter) and potatoes should not be altogether excluded from the diet.

Here are a few simple rules of healthful eating:

1.	Don't bore your stomach with a monotonous diet.
2.	Buy fresh vegetables when they are plenjpgul.
3.	Allow a quart of milk for each child and a pint for each adult.
4.	Don't be afraid to try new dishes.
5.	Adopt a cosmopolitan menu.
6.	Don't eat too many sweets.
7.	Drink several glasses of water daily.
8.	Do real cooking. Good health will not last with last-minute meals.
9.	Let absence or presence of appetite be the guide to all eating.
