Mrs. Ingram Addresses
Home Economics Club
Dietitian of the City Memorial
Hospital Makes Unusually
Interesting Talk.
The Home Economics Club
held its regular meeting
campus living room at 7:15 o’
clock on Tuesday, March 9.
Plans for serving an oyster
supper in the Home Economics
room on Saturday night, March
13, were discussed and arrange
ments made for sending a dele
gate to State Home Economics
Convention. After the business
meeting Mrs. Ingram, dietitian
at the City Memorial Hospital,
gave an interesting talk on
dietetics and her work at the
hospital. She began by saying
that dietitians are considered
anything and everything, cooks,
housekeepers, and jacks-of-all-
trades. She then told of the dif
ferent types of diets—general,
light, soft, liquids, and specials
—explaining how the diabetic
and the neufritics were fed.
Mrs. Ingram told
childrens’ diets, the various
formulae prescribed by
doctors and the building up and
reducing diet. Her system of
preparing- and the meals, keep
ing them hot in steam chambers,
and getting them to the patient
on time was extremely interest
ing. She ended by saying that
although at one time dietitians
were looked down upon they
were now looked up to and con
sidered more than educated
cooks.

Magdala is now a miserable

lay no touch of defilement upon
