Health
(By Marjory Freeman, Tenth Grade,
Martin Institute)
Health is that condition of the
living body in which all the bodily
functions are performed easily and
perfectly, and moat unattended with
pain. The most perfect state of
health is generally connected with
a certain condition of the bodily or
gans, and well marked by certain
external signs.
In one of the Fables of an Eng
lish poet, may be read these lines:
Nor love, nor honor, wealth nor pow
er,
Can give the heart n cheerful hour
When health is lost. Be timely
wise;
With health all taste of pleasure
flies.
Certainly the poet did not over
estimate the worth of one of the
greatest blessings mortals can en
joy—health, which is the condition of
physical well-being. The physicinn
says that anyone who sleeps well,
and who can digest his food while
satisfying a hearty appetite, may
be considered in a good state of
health. Under modern conditions,
very few persons enjoy perfect
health. The observance of a few
simple rules help to keep them rea
sonably well.
The most important thing in life,
is health. What we do in life de
pends on the condition of our health.
Can a child attend school regularly
if he doesn’t feel well? Many of
the physical difficulties of the school
child are caused by the wrong sort
of habits. Habit formation is the
basis of character, and in the same
way is the basis of health. Sound
health habits should be largely a
matter of automatic action on our
part. Much sickness is caused by
the neglect in early life of sensible
health formation.
The most essential health habits
are: food habits, sleep habits, ment
al habits, exercise habits, recreation
habits.
Food Habits—First, the food must
be clean; by this we mean not only
free from unwholesome foreign
matters, but more particularly, free
from parasites and germs of disease.
In order to have good health, one
must form the habit of demanding
wholesome food; for example, meats
free from tuberculosis germ. There
are many whose lives are defected
at infancy from infected milk, many
of whom die, others go through life
with bad health. Many people eat
too much proteins, which is found
principally in lean meat, eggs,
cheese, etc. Others eat too sparing
ly of green vegetables and fresh
fruit.
Sleep Habits—Next most import
ant to food, is sleep. Sleep is the
building up process in which the
waste of the day is repaired, and
energy stored up for future use.
Too little sleep results not only in
conscious discomfort, but greatly re
duced efficiency. Regular and suffici
ent habit hours of sleep should be
come fixed habits with every one.
Most adults require eight hours of
sleep. Children from six to ten
years old require from ten to twelve
hours.
Mental Habits—Nothing is more
important in life than the formation
of mental habits. Very few people
understand that there is any direct
relation between mental habits and
health; but, as a matter of fact,
every thought, every emotion, every
nervous impulse, directly effects the.
health of the whole body. Certain
studies of anger, fear, mental ex
haustion, worry, grief, demonstrate
that definite danger is done to the
body in causing many diseases.
Exercise—Habit formation of ex
ercise is fully as important as any
other health habit. While it should
be fairly evident that exercise in
creases bodily vigor by stimulating
the circulation of the blood to the
various organs and tissues, remov
ing waste products, and repairing
waste, physical activity develops
and co-ordinates the brain and mus
cular system.
Rrecreation—lt is always play in
some form, and play continues to
perform an important function in
our lives from earliest childhood to
old age. When we stop playing, we
practically stop living. Play ife the
preparation for life. Without play,
little of this world would be possible,
for enjoyment would cease, and the
possibilities for adoptation to the
more serious things of life would
become quite impossible. When we
stop playing, we grow stale, and be
come unmentally fixed. Play is a
social instinct, and without it com
mon fellowship is lost. The most
alert minds most enjoy and profit by
play. The dull and feeble minded
play little, or not at all. Through
exercise and some forms of play,
many good habits may be formed;
correct posture may be acquired;
skill, exactness, courage, enthusiasm,
and a host of useful qualities become
an essential part of our characters.
The one who has learned the simple
principles of health habits is well
prepared to play the game of life.
The strong, confident person who
has the strength to spare, reserves
of energy, does his work easily, and
without frictions, which, of course,
results from good health. Half the
timidities and indecisions of people
ure chargeable less to the lack of
ability, than to the lack of physical
vigor, the quantity of energy, which
is the driving power of character.
In all the contests of life, an im
portant element in success is good
health. Many of the failures in
life are due as much to lack of abili
ty to meet their tasks.
Health is so important! But yet,
there are many people who do not
realize the importance of it until
their bodies have become unhealthy.
A person who has a weak body is
liable to be of uncertain judgment.
Such a person in the presence of a
problem requiring quick decision,
doubts and hesitates and stands
shivering on the brink of action,
while hastening opportunities pass
by him.
A person with poor digestion, or
undeveloped body, or weak circula
tion, has a badly nourished brain.
Such a brain will do poor thinking.
The healthy can be joyously busy
doing the tasks of life, which the
other cannot.
We have an instinctive ilking for
people who are strong and healthy.
They appeal to us by their robust
ness and the confident display of
energy. We do not need the big
muscles that were once necessary in
wielding spear and battleax; but, we
need as much as the race ever need
ed, well developed bodies and habits
of health.

FAMILY COW IS ECONOMIC
ASSET, SAYS NUTRITIONIST
A quart of milk a day for the
growing child is one of the import
ant recommendations issued by the
White House Conference and Child
Health and Protection.
Prof. Susan Mathews, extension
nutrition specialist of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture says:
“This has come to be one of the most
important of all health rules be
cause no other food supplies the es
sentials of growth as does milk. It
is rich in vitamin A which promotes
growth and protects against infec
tions of the respiratory tract. The
most valuable assets of milk is its
calcium content, the prime essential
in building bones and teeth. In ad
dition it is considered one of the
most valuable pellagra preventa
tives. Its use provides such a fac
tor of safety that it is indispensable
in the diets of both children and
adults.”
While children require a quart of
milk a day, the average Georgia
child gets far less than this amount.
The average consumption in Geor
gia, as revealed by a careful study,
is .49 quart per person per day. The
consumption in South Georgia is a
bout 25 percent less than in North
Georgia.
Miss Mathews says, “The main
tenance of the family cow is both
good nutrition and good economics.
The live-at-home program being
sponsored at present will not only
help relieve the present economic
depression but will surely result in
better health for farm families.”

FOODS IN SMALL CANS
A RECENT survey revealed the
fact that an amazing number
of different products are now pro
cessed and put up in those con
venient 8-ounce cans which con
tain just enough to content two
people, or the contents of which
can even be consumed by one
hungry person alone.
These small individual cans
have proved a boon to the cities
where storage space is at a pre
mium. When one realizes that 57
per cent, of our population now
lives in cities, as compared with
40 per cent, in 1900, one under
stands the reason for their popu
larity.
The season of summer bache
lors is fast approaching. For the
sake of these bachelor maids and
couples without children, nearly
a hundred different packs of
fruits and vegetables are now put
up in these small cans.
Here’s the List
The fruits include apple sauce,
apricots (plain and peeled), black
berries (including a fancy grade),
cherries (Royal Anne, black ring,
red pitted and black), cranberry
sauce, figs (including a Califor
nia variety), fruit cocktail, fruits
for salad, fruit salad, grapefruit,

The vegetables are artichoke

Some Fruit Recipes
Here are same fruit recipes, for
instance, which are easy to pre
pare and will serve from two to
four.
Raspberry Cream: Soak two
teaspoons gelatin in two table
spoons cold water five minutes.
Bring the contents of an 8-ounce
can of raspberries, three table
spoons sugar and two tablespoons
lemon juice to boiling, pour over
gelatin and stir until dissolved.

market can be used if you have
no refrigerating facilities.
Blackberry Cobbler: Heat the
contents of one 8-ounce can of
blackberries to boiling, add one
tablespoon of flour mixed with one
teaspoon of sugar, and cook till
slightly thick. Add oite teaspoon
of lemon juice and one teaspoon of
