One sure guard, and one of the best forms of pre paredness is proper diet. Since World War I, the Amer ican Red Cross has offered the nation's housewives nutrition; courses, designed to teach both j men and women how to eat and j keep well and strong. But Amer icans felt that since they were the | best fed people of the world, they must also be the best nourished. In that belief they were mistaken. The army reported that one third of all applicants for war service were being rrjccled because of poor health—bad teeth, heart trouble, poor eye sight, skin diseases—all trace able to undernourishment. America's mothers and house wives were shocked into action. Within the past year, more than ! 250.000 women have won Red Cross ' Food and Nutrition certificates by attending these courses held by Red Cross chapters in more than 1,850 counties throughout the Unit ed States. In these Food and Nutrition courses, women learned the importance of preparing and serving the right amounts of the right kinds of foods—foods which contained the needed health protective qualities to keep their husbands fit for jobs in the shipyards, the farms, the mines, the steel miils, and to build their children into physically stronger Americans.
