litu, ii: UMA11A, bAlUKUAY, JUL 20, 1918. 13 Conducted by Ella Fleishman conomtc EiiieJ by IrmaH Gross HOUSEHOLD AXTJS VZP'T CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL The Friend of the Household. The1 other day I was Comparing ex periences with airiend who is inter ested in foods just as I am. One of us said that she had learned to like milk just by talking about it and preaching its virtues. The other laughed and said she had gone through the same experience. Then we both marvelled at the power of suggestion on 'the human mind; for neither of us had set out consciously to convert herself! The iacident gave me an insight into the theory of advertising and made me feel that perhaps others were influenced by learning of foods, influenced more than most of us dare to hope. After all, who wouldn't be influenc ed to like milk when you realize, what a precious food it is. It takes a very finicky appetite indeed to ob ject to the mild sweet flavor; and it takes a very peculiar constitution (or, more likely, a stronpr imagina tion) to be unable to digest it. What One Glass of Milk Will Do. It is rather hard to resist a glass of milk if one is of sound mind, when one realizes that in that one glass there is PROTEIN, or building ma terial for the body, as much as in one and one-half ounces of lean beef. The heef "would cost slightly less than the milk, but when one speaks about the body building power of meat, one has nearly exhausted its claims, whereas, one has just begun the case for milk. Also, it must be remembered, that a ed oatmeal 12 cups, from raw beef five pounds, from white bread 60 slices. The need of little children for milk becomes self-explanatory when these facts are grasped. OTHER BODY BIULDING AND BODY REGULATING MINERAL SALTS. Five types of foods are spe cially valuable for body regulating, namely, fruits, vegetables, hulls of grains, eggs and milk. VITAMINES. Nutrition experts are coming to realize that there are glass of skim milk or butter milk is just as good as whole milk in its body-building power. HEAT AND ENERGY to' the amount of ISO calories. It takes two eggs, a large lamb chop, one and one half large apples, or a fairly large serving of cooked breakfast cereal, to give as much heat and energy to the body. Yet so many of us per sist in thinking of milk as a beverage along with water, tea and coffee. HALF AS MUCH CALCIUM, or "bone-building material, as an adult needs during the day; or one-fourth as much as a child needs for a day. Co-Operation Mis- Gross will be very glad to receive suggestions foi the home economics column or to answer, as far a. she is able, any questions that her readers may ask. To get this same amount of calcium from string berns, four cups are re quired; from peas 12 cups, from cook certain little understood substances in foods which must be present to insure growth and health. There are two of these substances, known technically as "Fat-soluble A" and "Water-soluhle B," and both of them are found in whole milk, while many other foods have only one or none. How Much Milk Each Day? Mrs. Mary Swartz Rose, one" of the best authorities on dietetics in this country, answers that question: "A quart a day for every one under 16, a pint a day for every adult." It is not at all necessary to drink the milk, though that is the simplest method of including it in the dietary. And the vitamines mentioned are injured by heating for any length of time. But there are innumerable ways of using milk in cooking notably "in cream sauces, soups and desserts. In hot weather the milk may well be turned into a frozen dessert, for the value of the milk is just the same frozen or unfrozen. Many excellent frozen desserts may be made with a . milk foundation instead of cream, if the milk is combined with fruits or turn ed into a custard first. HAVEN'T YOU A NEW RESPECT FOR THAT GLASS OF MILK? Mrs. Rose says that "When the milk pitcher is allowed to work "'s magic for the human race, we shall have citizens of better physique than the records of our recruiting stations show today. Bven when the family table is deprived of its familiar wheat bread and meat, we may be strong if we invoke the aid of this friendly magician." RIGHT OFF THE MEL Betzwood Film company's first big production is nearly completed, and will be released soon. Lady Tsen Mei, the only Chinese woman film star, is in the lead, with Robert El liott, Ben Hendricks, jr., Herbert Pat tee and others in the supporting cast, and tells a thrilling story of China and of Washington, D. C. Lady Tsen-Mei recently gave Philadelphia citizens a chance to gamble in this Vegetable Prices Are Still High Peaches Abundant Prices of even the most common vegetables are vastly higher this summer than they have ever been. . "Rhubarb is 5 cents a bunch and it ought to be about three' for 5 cents," said one ' vegetable man. "Green peas are IS cents a quart and string beans the same. They ought to be S cents a quart. "What is the cause? Well, princi pally the high cost of everything that goes to the making and marketing of them. There is the scarcity and high price of all kinds of labor. That plays a big part in the price to the ultimate consumer. Then there is the price of paper and string. Cotton string that used to cost us 18 cents a pound now costs 80 cents a pound. Paper is just about as high. Dry weather has something to do with prices, but not much, compared to this other cause." Peaches are very abundant now and moderate in price. Cantaloupes and watermelons are plentiful and of ex cellent quality. Tomafoes, both home grown and southern,jire here at IS cents a pound or a market basket full for $2.25. The southern ones come from Tennessee. Potatoes still hold to high prices, 65 to 75 cents a peck. Home grown corn is here, but the price is high. It sold at 45 cents a dozen, wholesale, this week. Raspberries, both red and black, loganberries, gooseberries, cherries and currants are on the market in big quantities and .of nice quality. Plums and apricots are abundant and not very high in price. Oranges are high in price, those of medium size at 75 cents a dozen.

At the Saturday afternoon "tea dansant" at the Fontenelle there was a plentiful sprinkling of the boys in khaki. The girls never looked better and I noticed a number of wonderful hats, each one more novel than the other, but there was one in particular that met my eye.
