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.
