. As the feast and gift -giving day
of St. Nicholas spread, the Dutch
took it up. The nearest they could
come to saying St. Nicholas was
Santa Claus.
As time rolled on; December 6, the
feast day of Santa Claus, giver of
gifts, and December 25, the feast day
of Christ, giver of life, became con-
fused in the winds of the people, or
it may be that the Church wished to
combine the feasts, anyway, even-
tually the two festivals were com-
bined.
Thus the idea became established °
that on. the eve of the birth of the
Christ Child, there comes out of the

When persons tall children "Santa

VARIETY
What constitutes a really serious
menace to :the well-being of man-
kind is the fact that many persons
tend to follow the misguided teach-
ing of individual enthusiasts.
The belief of these enthusiasts
with regard to food is that they have
found one article or .one subtanee
which will free the ''human race from
most of the ills with which it is
threatented.
These persons are given the name
of enthusiaets—some may even ,call
them cranks or faddists. In any
case, a large percentage of thent are
sincere; they believe what they say.
Because of their sincerity and their
enthusiasm, they are very persuas-
ive and convincing, and this, no
doubt, aceounts for the large follow-
ing that they have, i I •
We eat for a number of reasons.
We eat because we are hungry; hun-
ger is net a pleasant sensation, and
so we take food to overcome it. The
food we take is used to build and
roan. tissues, to keep the body wntmn
and to provide it with the energy it
needs to keep its various systems
functioning.
In order to secure all the sub-
stances that the body requires and
to keep it in the best state of nu-
trition, it is absolutely necessary that
we use a wide variety of foods.
The discussion of the practical vaI- the diet.
ue of this or that food unfortunately
leads to the idea that the ideal adult
diet is based upon some one or other
food, but .such is not the case. The
foundation of the diet of the normal,
healthy adult is the use of a wide
variety of foods.
Present-day diets have been sub-
jected to many criticisers, and it is a
good thing that this has happened
because it has led to popular inter-
est and to a better understanding of
this very important health question.
The outstanding merit of our diet;
today is its variety. The increased
use of fruits, green, leafy vegetables,
milk mud cuts of meat, such as liver,
which were formerly but• little used
by she population in general, is a
more in the right direction.
The Vestion of diets for the.
young child, the espeetant mother
and the person who is ill requires
special consideration, The normal
adult would be well advised not to
follow the food faddist. Because one •
man seems to do well on some unus-
ual diet does not mean that such a
diet is suitable for all, Because an
extra amount of roughage in the diet
has been of benefit to one individual
does not moan that we should all load
oursevies with indigestible roughage.
Eat a wide variety of foods. Use
nolle and mills products daily, and
stake sure that fruits and green leafy
vegetables form a regular part of
