AMERICAN WOMEN
GETTING THINNER
The interesting monthly Bulletin of
a large life insurance company says
that American women (presumably
this includes Canadian women) are
getting thinner. 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.

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,
