Two Desserts for Dinner
Suggested by Scientist
■TtOLLOWING an elaborate re-
P search into the psychology and
physiology of eating, Dr. Donald A.
Laird, Colgate University scientist,
announced as his most sensational
discovery the fact that sweet tast
ing foods, more than any other
types, stimulate the greatest flow of
gastric juice, a plentiful supply of
which is essential to good diges
tion.
Wearing blind goggles, Colgate University students sampled
spinach, Ice cream, and other foods, and reported their reactions to
Dr. Laird (inset) in his Investigation Into the psychology of nutrition.
The scientist went so far as to
indicate the desirability of an oc
casional sweet in the course of a
Ameal, as well as the customary des
sert at its conclusion, as an aid to
, setting up a perfect digestive pro
cess in the assimilation of heavy
foods. He suggested, furthermore,
that his experiments indicated the
desirability for a sweetmeat an
hour or so after a dinner, in or
der to revive the flow of gastric
juice and continue the digestive
process.
Delicate and especially designed
apparatus, as well as highly un
usual methods, were used in de
termining the effects of various
foods as and after they were eaten
by the University students who co
operated with Dr. Laird and his as
sociates in what is said to be the
first Important Investigation into
the psychology of nutrition. For one
thing, students swallowed balloons
attached to tubes so that measure
ments could be made of the con
tractions, revulsions and other re
actions of the stomach to various
foods.
The tests carried on in connec
tion with Dr. Laird's investigation,
which extended over a number of
months, Included the retrieving of
Let These Salads Banish
Mealtime “Spring Fever”
Bn JOSEPHINE B. GIBSON
Director, Home Economics Dept.,

SALADS of luscious, chilled fruits
in deep cups of crisp lettuce,
served with flavorful dressings,
will appeal to appetites suffering
from Spring fever. Fruits, both
fresh and canned, furnish in abun
dance the minerals, vitamins and
roughage so essential to good
health at all times, and especially
at this season.
Fruit salads will be welcome
many times in the week’s menu,
( since they can be used both for
the salad and dessert course at
dinner, and are ideal for afternoon
or late evening party meals. And
with dainty sandwiches and coffee,
a substantial fruit salad makes an
excellent lunch on a warm day.
The following recipes are for
fruit salads that are more than
ordinarily delicious, and you will
be delighted with them if you are
on the look-out for attractive
salads, either for everyday menus
or for entertaining:
Bunch of Grapes Salad:
pear; 1 package cream cheese; 1 can pit
ted black cherries, or 1 pound green or
red grapes, stems of parsley; cup
chopped nuts; Mayonnaise Selad Dressing.
Drain pears thoroughly. Then
mash cheese and thinly coat the
rounded sides of the pears. Cover
with halved cherries or grapes, to
give the effect of a cluster of
grapes. For a stem use a sprig of
parsley from which the leaves have
been removed. Place on a crisp
lettuce leaf over a spoonful of
Mayonnaise Salad Dressing mixed
with chopped nuts.
Fruit Cup Salad with Banana
Dressing: Arrange 3 small cup
like leaves of lettuce on a salad
plate. In one cup, place sections
of peeled orange or grapefruit; in
another, diced pineapples or
peaches, and in the third, white
cherries from which the stones
have been removed. Sprinkle with
chopped pecans or English walnuts.
For the dressing, mash % banana,
add 54 teaspoon vinegar and 2
tablespoons confectioner’s sugar.
Fold the banana mixture into 54
cup Mayonnaise Salad Dressing. A
few tablespoons whipped cream or
a beaten egg white also may be
added if desired. Pass this dress
ing after the salads are served.
Pineapple, Prune and Marshmal
low Salad: Arrange Individual
nests of lettuce. Upon the lettuce
different foods at various intervals
after they had been eaten, so that
their condition could be analysed
and the exact quantity of gastric
juice be measured.
"From our records," Dr. Laird
said, "we learned that between one
and two hours after eating a nor
mal dinner, the natural flow of gas
tric juices reaches a vanishing
point. But unfortunately for our
selves, all the food in the stomach
has not been completely digested tn
this short time and more gastric
Juices are needed. We had already
learned that the sweet taste acted
as the greatest stimulator and tn
order to bring the gastric flow back
somewhere near the level It at
tained during the meal, further
sweets were given.”
“From this it is logical to con
clude,” he said, “that a second
dessert taken about one hour after
dinner in the form of a few pieces
of candy, some sweet cakes, in tact
anything that is sweet, is not only a
pleasant aftermath to the dinner
but is really a valuable aid to good
digestion.”
Dr. Laird's investigations will bn
continued to determine the reaction
of sherbets and other sweet dishes
in the course of a meal.
