DECLINE IN HEALTH FADS
Health -conscious • Americnns
and they are legion -are about
to abandon their "screwy" health
fad ideas, 'says Prof. Arthur 11,
Steinhaus of George Williams Col-
lege. •
Unscientific Beliefs
• They are going to drop beliefs
•that a strong sun tan is good for
one, that shrimps and straw.
berries should never be taken to-
gether, that irregular eating is a
common cause of stomach trouble
and .may others unsupported by
scientific investigation, • Pr o f,
Steinhaus asserted in an inter-
view at Chicago last week.
"Screwy" leas
• 'Some other 'screwy' ideas still
entertained by some health en-
thusiasts are these.:
"Bow legs result when babies
are permitted to walk too early
in life. (It's the diet that's re-
sponsible).
"An outdoor walk is invigor-
ating because there is more oxy-
gen in the open an..
"The human body renews all
of its parts once every seven
years.
. "Acid foods never should be
taken with milk.
"Poor posture is one of the
causes of tuberculosis.
"Regular ,physical exercise will
increase one's resistance to most
disease germ's. (This has been
proved false by scientific teats.
Healthful •living, but not exerche
of itself helps resist germt.)
"The chewing of hard foods
will strengthen the enamel of the
teeth (It helps the gums, but
not the enamel.)
"An athlete should refrain
from eating sweets and ice cream
while he in training. (On the
contrary tweets form the most
rapid ,loorce- of, energy.,"
By the way, what
is your profession?"
Dixon: "Mine is not a pro-
fession, it is a pursuit. I am,
a debt colle:tor."

What's in a , !tante? Perhaps

Great , Britain found enough of
revulsion in his official cogno-

name ,of the English royal fam-
ily.
Harking back to the time of
George I (1660-1727),, King of
Great Britain and Elector of Han-
over (Germany), is the birth of
Angloi-Gertnan royal marital al- '
liances. Later, in 1840, Queen •
Victoria, descendant of the House
of Hanover; married Prince Al-
bert of Saxe -Coburg' and Gotha,
Wettin became then the rugal sur-
name; displacing Hanciver.
THOROUGHLY ANGLO-SAXON
Then, on July 17, 1917, at the
height of anti -Prussian sentiment
in the Enmire, His Majesty, the
• fifth George, acting with the con-
• sent of his Privy Council, inform-
ed the people that henceforth the
royal house should be designated
as the House of Windsor. The
title comes from Windsor Town
and Castle, steeped in kingly tra-
dition since the days of Edward
