The Lucknow Sentinel, 1921-10-27, Page 3One of thp needs of the day—of every day, is food. It is the need of the future, and from the beginning of the world, food production has been the most important of the activities of man. No matter what may hap­ pen, the demand for nourishing foods is sure to grow so long as the popu­ lation increases. Railroads, steam, electricity—all are recent develop­ ments, none of them indispensable to mankind. But existence itself depends on nourishing food. Science is going further these days 1 than merely telling the public to eat good and nourishing food. It is tell­ ing the people what kinds of food they should eat and why; it is telling what to avoid and why; it is even telling them how much food is necessary to maiTltadn good health and keep it up to the normal standard. For instance, how much does the average man or woman know about the relative nutri­ ment of an egg, and how it compares with other foods? A single egg con­ tains as much nutriment as two ozs. of beef, and four eggs therefore are equivalent to half a lb. of beef. Eggs contain all that is necessary for the young animal except oxygen, which is -absorbed from the air. Lightly boil­ ed eggs are more easily digested than either raw or when hard-boiled. Milk is one of the best and most nourishing foods to be had, but an adult could, not very well live on milk only. To] do this and keep up his 1 ciency a man would require eight or] ten pints in twenty-four hours, but' this would give his system too much water and fat, which is disadvanta-I geous to grown-ups, but specially' suitable for young persons. Meat is, a staple article of food but little of; it is needed in hot weather. An ordi-] nary diet which, contains an adequate amount of all the ingredients neces-' sary for maintaining health and vigor: can be arranged as follows: Meat, 9 to 16 ozs.; bread:, 12 to 18 ozs.; po-l tatoes, 6 ozs.; milk, 3 ozs.; butter, 1 oz.; sugar, 1. 2 ozs.; salt, .25 oz.; tea,! .25 oz.; coffee, .33 oz. In summer weather, it is best to' leave out the heat-producing food-s,’ such as a mixture of meat and pcta-j toes. A sustaining diet for warm weather should include fresh vege­ tables and fruit, ^nd fish could with ; advantage take the place of meat. Bananas, raisins, dried currants and nuts are cheap and nourishing. Fresh1 foods are- better than canned foods' and more nutritious. People should! drink water freely, and to this end! every effort should be made to see ‘ that the drinking water is pu?e. Malnutrition in childhood is gener-1 ally due to parental ignorance, or A WOMAN’S HEALTH NEEDS GREAT CARE poverty; and well-planned meals Are followed by a satisfactory rate of growth, increased physical vigor, and more efficient education. For chil­ dren a light, nutritious diet should comprise bread and milk, porridge with milk and sugar, wholemeal bread with butter, dropping, or bacon fat, toast and plain biscuits, eggs, fish, chicken, peas, beans, bread and butter pudding, rice with treacle or honey, cheese (for older children), green vegetables, dates, figs, nuts, apples and stewed fruit. Cocoa with milkj and sugar, and chocolate are nourish-1 ing beverages. Children should be trained into right habits, namely,- regularity of meals, the avoidance of, eating between meals, moderation in food, good mastication and the regu-! lar evacuation of the bowels. An important consideration in de­ termining nutritional values is the presence or absence of vitamines in the food. These are substances that are contained in fresh foods, but which are absent in foods whose qual­ ities have been changed or impaired through boiling, heating or preserv­ ing, as in canned goods. A diet that contains no vitamines leads to certain deficiency diseases such as scurvy, rickets, and in the east where polished rice is largely used as an article of food, and beri. the vitamine absent, beri- k only To. Butter, fresh milk, eggs, fresh ' ' ro i fruits and vegetables should be more' ■ or less a stable part of any diet for I they contain the precious vitamines that are essential to health. W. J. R. asks: Is lime juice taken as a reducing agent effective, and is it harmful in any way? Answer: Lime juice is wholesome but ineffective as a reducing agent. The only way is to eat less fat-form­ ing foods. During the summer a good many inquiries came in about the kinds of food one should eat. For instance, one person asks what effect cucumbers and onions sliced with vinegar will have on the stomach, when eaten as a meal with no ether ingredient. He also wants to know if these are hard or easy to digest and if they contain much nutriment. Answer: Cucumbers and onions eaten with vinegar would be hard on the stqmach, and probably lead to severe indigestiqai. This combination c’f vegetables is aimfest without food values. Onions eaten as a small part of a meal furnish vitamines and min­ eral salts, and are beneficial in this respect. Cucumbers may supply some vitamines, too. but they are not so nutritious as onions. When the Blood Becomes Watery a Breakdown Follows. With Every woman’s health is dependent j upon the condition of her blood. How , many women .suffer with headache, $&n<in the back, poor £ppetite, weak digestiby, a constant feeling of weari­ ness, 'p&l’y^a^bn of the heart, short-. ness of breath, pallor and nervous- ’_________ ness? of course all these symptoms stated that __ . may not be present—the more there young Scouts even surpassed the ad- are the worse the condition of the missidn of St. Paul, “I keep my body blood, and the more necessary that uncier.” you should begin to enrich it without _____ __ delay. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a Apostle one better in that respect, splendid blood-building tonic. Every] - - ■- ’----- dose helps to make better blood which j goes to every part of the body and brings new health to weak, despon­ dent people. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are valuable to all women but they are particularly useful, to girls of school' age who become pale, languid and nervous. There can be neither health nor beauty without red blood which gives brightness to the eyes and color'] to the cheeks and lips. Dr. Williams’ i Pink Pills build up the blood as is shown by the experience of Mrs. Jos.' E. Veniotte, West Northfield, N.£5., who , says: “For several years I was in a | bad state of health. I was pale and nervous, my appetite was poor, and I suffered from weakness, headaches and a feeling of oppression. I got so nervous that I was afraid to stay in the house alone. All this time I was taking medicine, but it only did not help me, but I was growing weaker. Finally I decided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and after using six boxes I felt much better. I had a better ap­ petite, slept better and felt stronger. However, I continued taking the pills for a couple of months longer and now I am feeling as well as ever I did. I give all the credit to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and hope that my experi­ ence may be of benefit to some other weak woman.” You can get Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams’ cine Co., Brockville, Ont. Accentuating the value of the Boy Scout movement as a moulder of the highest and noblest type of citizen­ ship, Dr. J. W. Robertson, of Ottawa, Commissioner of the Boy Scouts in Canada, in appearing before the Gen­ eral Synod held in Hamilton recently, t the doctrine taught the “The Boy Scouts,” he continued, “go 1 for they are taught to keep their souls I on top and their bodies under. I say, 'therefore, that a three-year course of training by any boy who becomes a Scout is of such value that it will mould hip character for the remainder of his life, and make the type of citi­ zen this country can not have too many of in the years to come.” An anomalous revelation made by the late war, Dr. Robertson said, was that the whole human race had not decayed in any way as regards cour­ age, but physically it had deteriorated very noticeably. Medical examina­ tions in connection with the military service had disclosed that fact. Hence there was a vital need of according the Boy Scout movement the fullest support. In the schools of Canada, he said, it was found that 5 per cent, of the pupils suffered from minor physi­ cal ailments. A high type of citizen­ ship would remedy this. The Boy Scout movement made not only for good citizenship, but for a rugged physique as well. It performed a dual function—moulded character and made rugged youths of those who might otherwise be physical weaklings. Quick Action of Omaha Scouts Pre­ vents Wreck of Express Train. James Caldwell, 13, and Clarence Swingholm, 12, Omaha Boy Scouts, saved through passenger train No. 6 on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway from being wrecked a few days ago and are being acclaimed as heroes. Returning to their scout camp after an all-night hike, the boys discovered a large tree lying across the rails, and at the whistle for a curve 300 yards away.

Nickel’s Case Prominent Wisconsin Man Says Tanlac Promptly Re­ lieved Him of Bad Case of Stomach Trouble of Six Months’ Standing — Gains 27 Pounds and Feels Fine As A Fiddle. It is an unquestionable fact Tanlac is now being more widely en­ dorsed by well known men and women than any other medicine on the Ameri­ can market. One of the latest to tes­ tify is George H. Nickels, well known lecturer, residing at 227 Wells St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “Tanlac has not only completely re­ stored my health, but I have actually gained 27 pounds in weight,” said Mr. Nickels in referring to the remarkable benefits he had derived from the medi­ cine. “For something over six months, my stomach was very badly disordered. I suffered terribly from Indigestion and Dyspepsia. At times I would be in great distress and I would invariably experience an uncomfortable bloated feeling for hours after eating. I had no appetite scarcely and the little I ate would often make me deathly sick. My head ached until I felt like it would burst and I was so nervous I trembled like a leaf. When I got up in the mornings, I was so weak and dizzy, I couldn’t trust myself to walk around and I just hurt all over. “Tanlac has brought about a won­ derful change in my condition for I am now enjoying the very best of health.

Super Cement Made, Analogous to the super-man and other super-products, there is now be­ ing produced what is known as super­ cement. It is a Canadian product and is said lo be waterproof and to have other excellent qualities. According to an abstract in a con­ crete trade paper, it is manufactured by mixing gypsum and a catalytic col­ loid with cement clinker in the ordin­ ary process of Portland cement manu­ facture. It is claimed that concrete made with this cement is a dense im­ pervious mass, waterproof and oil­ proof and stronger than Portland ce­ ment, though the hardening is slower. This cement requires more water to produce a paste of normal consistency I than ordinary Portland cement. The ' increase in strength is specially mark- i ed in the case of cement and sand mor- ; tar, and the difference increases with i time. Hattentcts Eat Giraffe Meat.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am much better and able to go abouf all the time, which I could not ao before. I recom mend Vegetable Compound to my friends if I know they suffer the same way , and you may publish my letter if it will help any one, as I hope it will.”—Miss Z. G.

If every girl who suffers as Miss Black- well did, or from irregularities, painful periods, backache, sideache, dragging down pains, inflammation or ulceration would only give this famous root and herb remedy a trial they would soon, find relief from such suffering. It hardly see: is possible that there is a woman in this country who will con­ tinue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evidence that is continually being published, proving beyond contra­ diction that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffering among women than any other medicine in the world.
