INTERESTING TALK ON DIET
The Horne' and School Club had as
its guest on Saturday evening Dr. F.
F. Tisdall, assistant physician Hospi-
tal for Siek Children, Toronto, a na-
tive ofClinton,- who came back to tell
something about recent scientific ad-
vances made in relation to diet and
health and the planning of the diet
in order to obtain those ingredients
necessary to build up healthy bodies.
Dr. Tisdall, although telling of the
advance of science along this line in
research work, made his application
entirely practical, explaining it by
word and picture, se that it could be
easily understood by anyone; no mat-
ter how unscientific. It is an inter,
esting thing to note bow regent some
of these discoveries are, what strides
seem to have been made even in the
past dozen years.
Some of the elements so neces-
sary to health .are so, prevalent in or-
dinary foodethat we are sureto get
a sufficient quantity in any varied
diet, but Vitamin D., the most recent-
ly discovered; seems to be very shy,
is found so rarely .yet is so neces-
sary, that the housewife needs to
keep her wits about her to make sure
that her family is being properly
nourished.
Dr. Tisdall made his talk very in.
teresting and illustrated it in such a
way that it was easy to understand.
'The lack of certain elements retard
growth, and cause disease, the In-
clusion of all necessary elements in
the diet prat -dote piroper developement'
and insure health. •
In summing up Dr. Tisdall said
everyone's diet should contain milk,
meat, eggs, fruit and vegetables,
with at least one •raw' fruit
or vegetable each day. These are
theessential things; • you can eat
whatever you like after that.
As Vitainin D. is so important, as
it is fo'so sparingly in articles of
food,"and' as so many cannot get out
into the Sunshine when it .is at its,
•• best,' that' is between nine a,m, and
:four' p.m.,, it would seem.almost ne-
cessary to take something to supply
this element and grown people will
not take cold liver oil, in some
places bread is being manufactured
containing this ingredient, a prae-
tic: which will probably become more
common es the need becomes more
apparent. I
.Mrs. George T. Jenkins, president
of the Clu,b, presided, with Mrs. A.
T. Cpoper at the piano. The meeting ,
opened with. one verse. of 0 Canada
and Miss Mary R. Stewart :contribu-
ted a solo, accompanied by Mrs. W.

'The play "Where's Grandma"
which was presented in: the Town
Hall on Friday, April' 20, under the
'-auspices of St. Andrew's United
Church Young People's Department
Was very successfully given before a
peeked house. The players, one and
all, took their parts splendidly but
Mrs. W. 'Wallis, who played the part
of Grandma, deserves spacial mention
for her clever ,portrayal -of the old
.lady who tries to be one of the young-
er "smart set" but when she discov-'
ers that her grandchildren 'do not ap-
preciate her as a social butterfly is
quite osntent to be just 'Grandma."
The'play: e?cnters around Grandma.
In Oita first scene, which takes place
in the living -room of the. Wprley
home, we find Gretchen Blake' '(Dor-
othy Soetchmer) and her brand new
husband, Bob Blake, (Don McKenzie).
discussing the expected :arrival of
Grandma, whom they : have never
seen. Gretchen has been having her
own troubles trying to manage' her
younger brother Jack Worley (Rus-
sell Grainger) who' is in- love with
Lucy King (Mabel Sgotchmer) and
therefore does not. appreciate Greta
chen's efforts to make a match for
him with Arline Tnuesdale (Marga-
ret Douglas) who is in their own so-
cial set. Her younger sister, Carol,
(Gladys Gale) who has a mind and
opinionsof her own, insists upon 'a
friendship with a young man of whom
Gretchen does not approve. The man-
agement of Midnight (Murray Grain-
ger) the "Chocolate Brown" house-
man, and Dalhia (I•sabel Kirk), Mid-
night's "High Yeller" wife who quite
successfully manages him, also wor-
ries her, and all this she hopes to
shelve onto Grandma so that she
may live her own life. But Grandma
proves to be the unexpected. A month
later we find her deluged in such a
social whirl that Darhia, now in a
smart maid's outfit, particularly the
high heeled shoes which pinch, is de-
termined to leave, but Midnight is
quite content to stay and admire.
himself in 'his new uniform. It seems
as if Grandma's money is going to
ruin the grandchildren. Jack appears
to be involved in a theft in his de-
partment at the Nickleworth store.
Lucy to shield him, takes the blame;
Arline, to shield him, persuades him
to run off to marry her, and Bobi and
Gretchen quarrel. But in the last act
Grandmarights all the wrongs. It is
Carol, who'' when she tells Grandma
that she wants to ' marry Tom who
has not much money, finds her real
self and is the first- to view the grey
hairs under the red wig. She had had
Jack arrested the night before and
thus prevented him from marrying
Arline, whose father was really the
thief. Then she brings Jack and
Lucy together, Gretchen and Bob are
happy again when she reveals herself
as "Grandma" instead of "Madam
Sally" as she wished to be called at
first. Even Dalhia appears to be per-
fectly satisfied when she decides, to
go into the kitchen and :cook a real
.old-fashioned meal for her grand-
children. Laugh followed laugh
throughout the evening but there
