The Bulletin claims that this is due chiefly to the incess­ ant propaganda with which the public has in recent years been bombarded on the perils of obesity. This propa­ ganda Was based on certain studies of health and longevity of persons in the various weight groups, which showed an excessive proportion of illness and death among overweight individuals. This excess was due largely to the premature development ’of chronic de­ generative diseases ‘.of the heart, kid­ neys and circulatory system generally and to diabetes. While underweights were found to suffer 'a high mortality from tuberculosis and pneumonia, the degree of excess mortality- among them was small as compared with that arising from degenerative disease am­ ong overweights. The balance was en­ tirely in favor of underwieghts and increasingly so with advancing age. ' These sound reasons for keeping weight down were further reinforced for women by the dictates of fashion. The athletic figure for women has be- cefrne very popular, but neither the /Hollywood diet” nor the effect of weight reducing drugs have had. much effect in. producing-the desired effect. Indeed, while most of the drugs are ineffective and harmless in this res­ pect, some are quite harmful. •“The change in the diet of women has, oft the whole been unseftil. It is now based, not on quantitative caloric needs, but on qualitative needs which emphasizes the value of “protective” foods,’ those relatively rich in vita­ mins and minerals. These include the bulky, leafy vegetables of low caloric value as well as4ipilk, eggs, fruits, and moderate quantities of merit and fish. The decline in the average weight of women is a condition that augurs well for the future health of our people; it is a tribute to popular health edu­ cation. the other hand, others are ever-fed, which is somewhat dangerous to their health and also greatly reduces the economy of growth on pasture during the following summer. Excessive fat condition is costly and entails much greater risk of depreciation from un­ soundness, observes Vincent McNeely, Herdsman, Dominion Experimental Station, Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere, Que. .As to' feeds, oats (preferably rolled) mixed with bran on 4 to J. basis, fed at the rate of approximately 1 pound per 100 pounds of live weight accord­ ing to the condition of the animal, with clean legume or mixed hay, at the rate of 1 to IV2 pounds her hund­ red pounds of live weight, constitute the essential part of a good daily ra­ tion for colts. Carrots,-when available are especially relished by colts, but some precaution should be .taken so that rotten or frozen roots, which are dangerous, are not included. Simple minerals, such as bran meal, supplied on the basis of 2% of the grain ra­ tion help in the development of bone. The colt should also have iodized block salt before him at all times. It. has been observed that colts de­ veloped better in a box stall without a manger, but with a box for'grain feeds. Hay is placed,on the floor be-’ cause eating off the floor has a tend­ ency to strengthen the knees and leg muscles and also to develop the neck of the growing colt. Daily outdoor ex­ ercise on sunny days when the tem­ perature is' not too low and the grotind JS not- icy, jyill go far towards keeping colts thrifty and sound in the legs during the winter months. Internal parasites frequently retard colt development. Medicinal treatment by an experienced veterinarian at weaning time and once a year after­ wards, is a good practice. It is advis­ able to .have sufficient protection ag­ ainst hot sunshine and flies for colts on pasture during the summer. A sup­ ply of iodized rock salt and cool run­ ning water are also essentials. The foregoing practices have been followed at the^Ste. Anne de la Poc­ atiere Experimental Station since its. establishment. To demonstrate their potential efficiency the records show that the 40 Percheron Colts raised on this station during the last seven years have averaged the following progress­ ive weights: at six months of age, 773 pounds; at one-year old, 1038 .pounds; at two-and-half years old or at the age they are broken to work, 1612 pounds. From .the above data, the conclusion is drawn that good treat­ ment produces good results with, colts. CURING THE MORN­ ING GROUCH Almost every .home harbours at CHAMBERLAIN AND. HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN Prime Minister Horace Wilson Close adviser to Chamberlain is. Sir (LEFT), permanent secretary of the treasury and head of the British civil service. Sir Horace attends meetings of the war cabinet. Behind the scenes he is said to be one of the most in­ fluential men in England, COLTS GALL FOR GOOD TREATMENT (Experimental Farms. News) It is well known that vigor and growth in a colt depend, on the feed ahd care given during, its early life. This Is particularly true during the colt’s first year when it develops' up to nearly half its mature size. Special attention and good judgement should be used during this period. It is of­ ten observed that many Well-bred colts are under-nourished and develop into light and stunted Unitnais, On least one morning grouch if not sev­ eral. People who are sweet and good natured the rest of the day are often the most bad tempered in the morning and a good way to cure this ho'rrible disease is a substantial breakfast. No one can remain grouchy when faced with delicious food which has been prepared especially to please him. A dish which is particularly recom­ mended to chase the blues on cold winter mornings and supply heat and nourishment for the day’s work is Codfish Balls. Don’t try to prepare this dish entirely in the morning or there might be another grouch in the family. Everything but the actual cooking can be done the night before and the breakfast is practically ready when the .time comes to eat. Codfish Balls 1 cup of fish, freshened and ■ stripped 2 cups diced potatoes Cooking fat 1 tsp. of butter Pepper 1 egg, well beaten Simmer the fish, boil the potatoes until they are done. Drain off water and mash fish and potatoes until per­ fectly blended. Add butter and pep­ per, and beat with a fork until light. Let cool a little, then add egg. Shape into balls the size of a large walnut, drop into a frying basket, fry one min­ ute in a deep smoking hot fat (390 de­ grees F.), and drain on paper. Serve hot. Serves six. A tomato sauce can be served with this. Heat condensed tomato. soUp just as it comes from the can. Pour the tomato sauce in a platter and put the codfish balls in the hot sauce. To freshen salt codfish: Shred the fish, wash it several times to take off salt left on the surface, then put it in­ to cold water and heat to the boiling point; pour off the water, and repeat the operation a second and even a third time, if necessary. Do not cut dried salt fish with a steel knife; if a knife, is used' the fish will take on a “steely” taste, drawings or* tuis nous* luve WUi HfePAttb t»Y YnV WbuiiNfc AbMuilitHAtlbN A A eoMFlt-it'-ser COWMSTIHQCJf- 4 btv* FftlNTS & A MKItOftAL ICWSlMG MlMOUANt^ S*»CttlCATJON^<TOb%4lLU» , JM W 0W*l AMt> MAY FVtftE A » fO*. ,'Tt* A UM Qt z I AY HuMM-A Hom: MoWSIHOi ADMIHIMAaTIOH * tfeHfcTMlNf Of tlNAHC* • OTTAWA OHTAllO *
