Changing Family’s Food
Habits Up to Housewife [
Families may be able to turn on ]
the electric light at home and en- I
joy the benefits of its illumination I
without understanding the science of
electrical energy, but they can not
plan healthful meals unless they un
derstand to some degree the scien
tific facts behind good nutrition.
The coming of the draft with
its revelation that many young men
were undernourished was the head
line news necessary to show Ameri
can citizens that the nation’s nu
tritionists and doctors knew what
they were talking about when they
said that American families needed
to revise some of their eating habits.
To this end, the national nutrition
program is of concern to every man,
woman and child, and it carries re
sponsibilities to all of us because
we are still living in a democracy
that allows us to choose from a
v/ide variety of foods what we shall
eat.
Even with agriculturists, econo
mists, physicians, public health au
thorities, food processors, research
workers and educators all working
together to perfect the type of meals
which are served at the dining ta
ble, the last steps must be taken by
the housewife and her family and
there must be a willingness on their
part to change food habits and
tastes.
The most important responsibility
of the homemaker who chooses, pre
pares and serves the food for her
family is the responsibility of put
ting into practice the results of the
many years of experimentation and
experience that have gone into the
study of the relationship of food to
health.
Formerly, Druggists Sold
Coffee by the Ounce Only
American coffee drinkers, faced
with weaker brews, smaller cups
and fewer of them, may be cheered
to know that their favorite bever
age was not always sold over the
grocer’s counter in pound lots.
Before coffee gained its world
wide popularity, says a bulletin
from the National Geographic So
ciety, cautious pharmacists doled it
out by the ounce “for medicinal
purposes only.”
Since the days when the first early
Mohammedans were forbidden wine
and took to sipping concoctions
made from the coffee bean in order
to keep awake during their long re
ligious ceremonies, coffee has been
acclaimed and disclaimed.
In Cairo, after its introduction 1
there in the early 1500 s, its use was
forbidden because it was considered
intoxicating. All places storing or
using the ‘‘seditious berry” were or
dered burned.
During the reign of Charles 11,
coffee houses in London were or
dered closed because they not only
brewed a fine cup of coffee, but po
litical unrest as well.
First Tuesday After First Monday
National election day was fixed by
act of congress in 1845. Several cir
cumstances made it advisable.
Previously each state fixed its own
election day within 34 days of the
meeting of the electors (in accord
ance with act of congress, 1792). All
the states elected in November, but
the dates varied and this lack of
uniformity led to grave conse
quences. In contiguous states “re
peating” was so easy it became {
common. Popular demand for re- j
form led to the 1845 law.
In the frontier country it often was j
necessary for voters to set out the
preceding day in order to reach the
polls in time to vote, so it was de
sirable to have a day intervene be
tween Sunday and election day.
Tuesday was chosen, but the first
Tuesday was excluded since occa
sionally it coincided with the first
of the month, making it inconvenient
for business men. The second Tues
day could fall as late as the 14th,
leaving only 22 days between elec
tion day and the meeting of electors
on the first Wednesday in December.
The first Tuesday after the first Mon
day placed the date not later than
November 8 and always about 30
days before the meeting of the elec
tors. That Tuesday still is retained,
although the time of the meeting of
the electors since has been changed.
Compounds Save Fuel
1 Chinks around windows and win
dow panes and cracks and open
joints in walls and around doors and
windows are in the front lino of fuel
wasters. An easy and inexpensive
way to effect an important saving
in fuel is to fill these openings with
putty or glazing or caulking com
pounds, depending upon the kind of
opening. Putty and glazing com
pounds are especially suitable for
use with window glass, while caulk
ing compounds, which may be ap
plied either with a gun, collapsible
tube, or with a putty knife, are
made especially for the larger open
ings elsewhere in the structure of
the house.
Dramatic Climate, Scenery
In relatively small Tunisia, cli
mate and scenery also vary dramat
ically. There arc broad stretches of
green, wooded hills, fine pastures and
wheat fields, as well as bleak table
lands, rock deserts, salt marshes
and depressions. Fertile palm
framed oases follow sterile sand
dunes, and in the heart of the moun
-1 tain country irrigated valleys lead
toward productive plains along the
shore where miles of olive trees ex
tend.
