Question Treated from U.S. Standpoint. (Note:â€" Miss Edith M.

This should be considered in reading the following artâ€" icle by Miss Barbher. The article, howâ€" ever, has much of value and interest for Canadians as well as for housewives in the United States.) The fact that our red ration stamps must be used for the aliotment of three classes of food, meat, chesse, and fats and oils, has brought questions from hqusekeepersa in regard to the way the points should be used with the best interests of nutrition in mind. Of course, meat and cheese which have high protsin content are most import»= Indirectly, hcowever, fats contribute more to the diet than can be measured by their calorie and vitamin content. Meals which contain moderate amâ€" ounts are more satisfying than those which lack this ingredient. It is a comforting feeling to have a full stomâ€" ach.

Even the bland narcâ€" ened vegetable fats and salad oils can serve as a base if a little onion is ed with the fat, or if tomatoses are used ag part or all of the liquids, or if cheese is added after the cream sauce nas thickened. Remember that cheese itâ€" self contains fat, so that less is neecâ€" ed in a base when it is an ingredient. Some of the processed chesse can be ugsd in combination with milk ana without any fat or flour.

Starvation Day Diet Once a Week A middle aged woman found herself gradually becoming overweight. She tried leaving out various articles of food mostly starch and fat foods; but the loss of weizht was slight, decreasing at a slower rate than the rate at which it had increased. She then reduced the amount of fluids â€" water, tea, coffee, and other liquids â€" and was gratified to find a loss of five pounds the first months, three the second, two the third, and none the fourth. Her tissues had attained their "water balance" as it is called. She was now consuming. the exact amount of liquids and the water in foods to maintain that balance. By the end of six months she had lost about half the excess weight ana wondered what should be her next step. There could â€"be no further reduction of faod as she found missing a meal or further‘ reducing her food intake left her too weak to do herâ€" work properiy. Her large meal of the day was the <svening meal eaten leisurely and conâ€" taining much of the fat and starch focds she had denied herself at breakâ€" ‘"ast and lunch. As she was on her feet a condgiderable part of the day, she was advised to eat a larger lunch, the food of which would be used up during the afternoon, and the lighter meal in the evening would mean less fat to be storâ€" ed on the tissues during the usual restâ€" ful evening. This eating more at lunch and less in the evening resulted in 4 loss of 4 pounds the first month, two pounds the second, 1 pound the third month and no loss of weight the fourth month. She still had several pounds to lose to reach the ideal weight for 'xer height and type of build. . As her diet was now 1200 calories for ‘he 24 hours, and she felt that it would be unsafe to try to follow the 800 caiâ€" crie diet as she was on her feet ev:'ls day, she consulted her physician. Hef physician pointed out that while her heart, blood pressure, iron in her blood, were normal, nevertheless as long as she had {o be on her feet every day, no further reduction of food was advisable. A walk in the evening before retiring was suggested but this appeared to tire her to the extent that she found herself wanting to sleep longer in the morning and to want to rest more during the day also. Also when she came in from her evening walk the temptation to eat more was too strong for comfort Finally her physician suggested that as she was not working Saturday afterâ€" noon or all day Sunday, therefore she would not need as much food as on working days and could almost do withâ€" out food or skip a meal or two over the wesckend. Her physician then arâ€" ranged a "Sunday diet" of 600 calories, which was half her usual daily food intake of 1200 calories. By this means she was gradually able to reduce to her ideal weight. : It is because this point â€" the overâ€" | weight was resting all the time â€" was . forgotten, that the 18â€"day diet caused | collapse and death in many cases; t‘he overweights went about their usual daily tasks while on the diet.

To dry your brush shake it well and lay it on its side. This prevents moisâ€" ture from seeping into the bases of the bristles and loosening them. It is good to place your brush on dry towel or tissue near an open window.
