Nutrition Class
At Karastan Mill
The Nutrition Class, shown above,
met at the Karastan Mill on Monday,
October 19th, and heard a most inter
esting talk by Mrs. W. B. Weaver on
the value of the right kind of food.
Mrs. Weaver pointed out the various
types of food and gave a few valuable
tips on each one, stressing the fact that
in these modern times workers need
the kind of foods that will keep us in
our best physical condition. The meet
ing was something like an open forum,
the members of the class asking many
questions which Mrs. Weaver answer
ed clearly. A movie, with accompany
ing record, “The Right Kind of Food,”
was greatly enjoyable and beneficial.
