THURSDAY, DEC 6, 1934 THE FRANKLIN PRESS and THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN PAGE SEVEN HEALTH OF HUMAN BEINGS DEPENDS UPON PROPER DIET North Carolina Physician and Dietitian Outline Health Needs and Give Menu Suggestions By DR. W. C. TATS, M.D. (Physician in Charge, Lees-McRae College and Director of Grace Hospital, Banner Elk, N. C.) and - ,M1SS SUS1B V. PRATER (Dietitian, Grace Hospital, Banner Elk, N. C.) An adequate and a well-balanced food supply for the long winter months Is a matter of special con cern in the mountain regions of the Tennessee Valley. Although Nature has been most generous in providing the essential foods ever since the first settlement, the breakdown of our economic and so cial order has forced many of our citizens, temporarily at least, to fdregb a correct diet. With a large body of bur people on relief and an increasing amount of disease directly the result of poorly balanced diet, the Tennes see Valley Authority determined to aid us in correcting this unwhole some condition. . One of the methods used was to assist people in making prepara tions during the harvest season for a full and complete store of Na ture's food for use during the cold days of winter. Canneries were set up at startegic points to pro vide facilities for storing the prod . ucts of garden and field in cans In this way it has been possible for large numbers tp secure a suffi dent number of cans. It is im portant, however, that those cans contain a well-balanced variety of food. The cans should be varied from meal to meal and from day to day to insure a proper diet. Necessary Food Ingredients Food is an? substance taken into the body to assist or nourish life. All foods we eat fall into three categories. These are: The proteins, the fats, and the carbohydrates. The proteins include meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, nuts, dried beans and dried peas. The fats include cream, fat ba' con, suet, table oils, butter, and co coanut. The carbohydrates are starches and sugars. The starches include i bread, cereals, potatoes, rice, mac aroni, and bananas. The sugars in clude dates, honey, candies, jellies and preserves made with sugar and molesses, and ice cream. Many fruits and vegetables have a low content of protein or. carbo hydrates but are important as bulky foods and because they con tain salts and vitamins that add health-giving properties to our bills of fare. It has been discovered in recent years that there are other essential factors in our diet besides protein, fats, and carbohydrates. In a nat ural, well-mixed diet, these other elements are so abundant that they remained hidden until civilization made such changes in the prepa ration of our foods that these life giving factors were destroyed. Ex periments have shown that there are six distinct vitamins. Their presence in our foods spell the dif ference between health and dis ease. These vitamins are named A, B, C, D, E, and F. Each has a separate function to perform in the prevention of disease and the preservation of health. Essential to Life The medical profession is paying increasing attention to the role of minerals and vitamins in our diet. HUGE PUMPKIN GROWN NEWARK, Ark.-(UP) - Law rence Stigall, farmer in the Walls Lake region near here, claims the state pumpkin-growing champion ship. A pumpkin he raised weighs 76 oounds and is five and a halt feet in circumference. Yakob Rubel, aged 254, and Hans Fiegel, 23, who started four and one-half years ago from Germany on a world bicycle tour, have just reached Ireland. -. Besides the vitamins, there are at least ten inorganic elements which' are absolutely essential to life. These are: sodium, potassium, cal cium, magnesium, phosphorous, chlorine, sulphur, Iodine, iron and copper. Fortunately, we only have to watch the supply of three of these elements because the other seven are present in abundance in any reasonable diet. Calcium, iron and iodine should not, however, be left to chance. Iron can be se cured, not through drug bottles, but through egg yolk, liver, spinaeir, and other sreen vegetables, if the content of Iodine in the water ai food supply is extremely low, the deficiency can best be made up by using iodised salt Although calcium is the fourth most widely distributed chemical element in the earth's crust, it oc curs in toods in very limited quan tities. Our chief supply is in milk and in leafy vegetables. Milk con tains 20 times as much calcium as beet pound for pound. Its im portance to people -f all ages can not be overestimated. Mussolini drinks milk for breakfast, lunch, in the afternoon, and for dinner. Milk should not be replaced by tea or coffee as the child reaches the 'teens. The child needs all the milk he or she can get If milk proves dif ficult to digest adding orange Juice, lemon juice, or tomato juice in smaty quantities to make the milk curdle slightly will help. Milk gives 'us the "pep" everyone of us desires. Every family should have plenty of milk for every member of the household throughout the en tire year. And buttermilk, while a valuable food, is not equal to sweet milk in the diet. Disease Traced to Diet Many of the weaknesses and dis eases of the present time can be traced to improper diet Such maladies as Pellagra, Rickets, Tu berculosis, and Constipation are the direct result of poorly planned menus and incorrect feeding in in fancy and childhood. Ninety per cent of all children have poor teeth, due almost entirely to -im proper nourishment. These conditions can be checked and helped by the use of a nourish ing and well-balanced diet The right kind of diet can easily be ob tained, even in winter, if the pan tcy shelves are stocked with the necessary amounts and variety of canned foods. Appended is a list of the cans necessary for a family of five for a period of eight months. The fol lowing is a suggested series of menus for one full week of twenty one meals: CANNED FOODS NECESSARY FOR A FAMILY OF FIVE Canned food for a family of five for the mountain section of Western North Caro lina for a period of 32 weeks starting in October.

Cabbage, canots, beets, parsnips, turnips, may be kept through winter and should be used several times a week. 4 The above amount will insure an adequate diet for the winter season supplying the necessary protein, carbohydrate, fat,'' min erals and vitamins. PIG AND KITTEN PALS UNION, Me.-(UP) This little pig is content to stay at home and sleep with its newly-acquired friend. Because the little pig was not as Strong as the rest of the litter, James Griffin, its owner, built a separate pen in a horse stall. A kitten visits the stall each day for its meal, then the two crawl into a box and sleep it off. Wives listen best to their hus bands when they talk in their sleep.

The trustees adopted the follow ing resolution and urged all drys in North Carolina to cooperate ac tively in helping to effectuate the program contained in this resolu tion: Resolution v "Whereas the use of alcohol as a beverage is injurious to man, both mentally and physically ; and where as it is the opinion of the United Dry Forces of North Carolina that the manufacture and sale of alco holic beverages should be prohibit ed; now, therefore, the Board of Trustees of the United Dry Forces of North Carolina, in meeting, in Raleigh, on this October 19, 1934, resolve as follows: "1. That we appeal to the citi zens of our State to abstain totally from the use. of alcoholic beverages. "2. That we appeal to the in structors in our colleges, in our high schools, in our grammar schools, and in onr Sunday schools, to instruct our youth regarding the harmful effects of alcohol on the body and the mind. "3. That we appeal to the min istersof our churches to preach of ten against the evils involved in the liquor traffic. "4. That we appeal to the Gen eral Assembly of North Carolina, that will assemble in January, 1935, that it retain and strengthen our laws prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicants. "j). That we appeal to the sher iffs, constables and police officers to redouble their efforts to detect and apprehend all persons engaged in the manufacture andor sale of intoxicants. "6. That we appeal to our so licitors and other prosecuting at torneys to redouble their efforts in prosecuting perspns charged with the violation of our liquor laws. "7. That we appeal to the judges of our superior courts and to the judges of all other courts in our State to impose upon persons con victed of violating our liquor laws substantial punishment to the end that the violators of our liquor laws Supper Tomato soup Baked potatoes Hot kraut Bread crackers Milk butter Soft boiled eggs' Grits Biscuit butter Stewed apples Milk Vegetable soup Baked Potatoes Bread crackers Blackberries cream Milk butter Salmon and eggs Big lye hominy Raw kraut Bread butter Strawberries milk Scrambled eggs Stewed corn Bread butter Milk, Soft boiled eggs Rice Bread butter Peaches cream Milk.

We appeal to our judges to discontinue the practice of re leasing bootleggers with suspended sentences, or nominal fines, or in significant prison sentences; and we appeal to our judges to vindi cate the integrity of our courts by imposing on persons convicted of violating our liquor laws substan tial prison sentences that will create in the minds of criminals a respect for our laws and respect for the dignity and the honor of our State. "8. That we appeal to the Gov ernor of North Carolina to call up on the citiens of this State to ob serve and respect the laws prohibit ing the manufacture and sale of intoxicants and to call upon all of the law enforcement officers of the State to redouble their efforts and to discharge their duties in the en forcement of these laws against the liquor traffic. The laws prohibit ing the manufacture and sale of intoxicants are righteous and reasr onable; the universal existence of bootlegging constitutes a reflection upon the law enforcement officers of North Carolina and constitutes a challenge to the Governor of the State of North Carolina, and to every citizen within our borders; and we appeal to our Governor, to our law enforcement officers and to our citizens to stamp put boot legging, to rid society of this hein ous industry and to vindicate the integrity and the honor of the State of North Carolina."

WHEAT FOR NEBRASKA STOCK LINCOLN, Neb.-(UP)-Wholesale substitution of wheat for corn in Nebraska livestock diets is be lieved likely to develop in the next few months. Critical shortages of corn feeds in many sections of the state will cause the substitution, livestock and grainmen believe. With prices of the two grains ap proximately equal levels, feeders are beginning to feel that for the 60 pounds of wheat in a bushel they get more than from the 56 pounds of corn, cattlemen say.
