PHSI = Copeland’s Health Talk *r-. Watch Fancy Eating n - BY ROYAL S. COPELAND. M. D. i United states Senator And Former Health Commissioner of N«.-v iork.) One qf iftWt japttfyliPg things about modern- life is the increasing interest to tbe«|>reparation of food. I saw a picture the other day, a photograph"pri&‘%*at multitude of women actually crowding Carnegie i Hall in"..N*^r City. It was a group of home-makers attending a BWMUg SCUUUl. nc Hill*. unn Ul Li It 11, LIUICS —the pioneer days "when men were men and women were cooks.” Why go so far? There are just as good cooks today as there were in Revolutionary times. As a matter of tact, the food we eat today is. on the average, far better than it was then. It Is better in orig inal quality and it Is prepared better. What saved the pioneers from chronic indi testion was the hard manual labor they per formed. They sort c*f "worked off" what they consumed. Do not misunderstand me. There have been wonderful cooks lor ages past. No doubt many a family in olden times had splendid food. But, *«*. the world was not delivering its riches then and . siiere was not the multiplicity of dishes we enjoy today. Fried foods, rich gravies and an over-supply of meat, made com binations which only powerful digestions could handle. Wild game, coarse vegetables and the cereals in natural form, made the body of the typical meaL There isn't a food in the list that isn't good, of course, but there 6 an over-abundance of roughage j in it for the modem way of life, j without strenuous exercises, such as 1 .our fore-fathers and fore-mothers' took, the digestive organs would rifcbel. " j 7We have the right to criticize the modem foods for exactly the oppo- j site reasons. The trouble with our j ‘ present-day eating is that many of j rtaur foods are ‘'denatured.” That is. 'the outer coverings and fibre are re- . .moved in too great quantity. In the j effort to make them attractive to] the eye. some of our foods are • .robbed of their most important ele-| /pients. I Common sense should be applied! t'b the preparation of food. Un-; fortunately, however, common sense not quite enough. That Is the reason why such gatherings as the Qamegle Hall convention are im-< portant. Experts teach the scientific! reasons for this or that combination ■ of foods, as well as this and that “ process of preparation. " We must not sneer at "new fangled” Ideas. We must Investi gate these suggestions i and apply *uch of them as are likely to im-; prove health. Routine methods, methods which we have used for years, are difficult to change. We don't like new things, j We even resent the very suggestion that our way of doing things is the j wrong way, or if not the wrong way that it can actually be improved Alas! Many of the things we have done always, are the wrong things to do. Please, don’t get mad at me when I suggest that it is a good thing tc consult the cook books and see if some better recipes can be found Let us not despise the new idea. N. Y. A.

Around Our Town - Shelby Sidelights - — ~ -■ With Renn Drum r~-~-= TALKING AT A CIVIC CLUB luncheon recently Carl Thompson said something about a wheat shortage, but added that there should be little worry about that as Mr, Hoover could feed us on corn bread for a year or two and get! ! everything going again. That reminds of an old adage the i recent election played havoc with— j “The way to a man's heart, Is j through his stomach." Remember- : tag how long the president-elect1 gave us wheat!ess, meatless and j sugarless days, and then recalling the 21 million votes he received it. mast be that the old heart-via stomacli philosophy is all piffle, or Mr. Hoover is as great a man as his campaign manager ballyhooed him to be. ANOTHER THING ABOUT THE “flu” closing the city schools a week early is that the firecracker bom bardment arrived a week ahead of schedule. IN THIS NEWS HUNTING game a lot of precious time is wasted chasing stories that very near happen, but just miss happen-' ing by fractions of an inch, or frac- j tions of something else. In days gone bv we have known reporters. whose routes included funeral parlors, who being in dire need of a story or so would ask the undertaker: “Any news today?”*Re ceiving a negative reply their com ment as they strolled out would be: “Too bad/' Anyone but an under taker -perhaps they, too feel down in the mouth when nothing is do ing—would be shocked at such brazen hard-heartedess as a report er being grieved because there was no death to make news of, but a reporter doesn't mean ‘t that way. We've walked from undertaking parlors with a blonk note-pad our selves and in a somewhat dejected manner, not particularly because we wanted some one to check out. but because after making the beat there was no story And a reporter ere.the day is ended must of neces sity—if he means to keep a job— have a story about something, fu nerals, marriages, births, or what not, But all of t hat merely leads up to a story which came .very near being a big news story for Shelby, except that, It didn’t happen— It seems that in one of the recent road shows here there was a rath er handsoine miss in the chorus— perhaps those in the “bald head row’’ thought (hey all were that, and mebbe (hey were, but this story, or r.eai -story, has to do with only one of the wicked foot-shak ers. <We should say with only one shaker of wicked feet, for one who wields a wicked foot isn’t necessar ily wicked ' Anyway. this girl looked mighty good to some young fellow In a city the show played a few w?efo before coining here. In fact, she looked so good that he j “went daffy’’ over her, or, in a j manner of saying, “fell all oyer himself’ about her. But the young lady, lor the time being at least, preferred facing the footlights and the grinning men down front rather than ipatrimony and facing one man over the toast each morning at the breakfast table. So. the young swain became desperate—that’s the way the near story goes. He kept following her about the circuit, but she stead fastly refused to take the curtain for him. Finally he became more desperate (almost as desperate as Desperate Ambrose of the comics > The show reached Shelby On the first night there came a long-dis tance call for the chorus lassie. It was her rebuffed suitor. ’ Not going to marry me?" he queried. "No,”'she shot back into the tele phone “Well, Im coming up there to morrow and shoot you, then my self.” Somehow we heard about it Whew! What a nervous tension waiting for such a story to break but tomorrow came and the ill-fat ed suitor tailed to show’ up—any way, the double-barreled killing failed to material ire Result; One good” story threat ening, but refusing to break. A re porter certainly knows how a farm er feels during "a long dry spell’ when the cloud*-, at last hover over then the rain fails to come. But, at that,, we'er right giad the young dancer—she may have her name in lights along ol* Broadway some day—and the fellow she isn'l going to marry are still living. He should have had more sense thar try to put over a bluff on a girl who has been about. As it happen ed Cleveland county moved alona to a ne\t cotton production total that day and the front page wasn't so dead despite the lack of any sensational news. All of which has no moral attach ed, except that it may inform some that a newspaperman has. never written all lie knows, whpfber the stories develop or not Fact-is, any reporter living' who has chased readable lines for at least a half decade, could get out a hatter paper if he wTote the stories he has never chirped than if he had all the news breaks his way. But despite the craving to make the folks grab the sheet and gobble the headlines there is a stronger craving—that one is to live as long as possible so as to keep the boy on the funeral beat out of a story or so. ONE OF OUR LITERARY friends comes along agaui to ask what book would make a good Christmas girt. Considering how the Yuletide occasion originated, we can think of nothing that would, or could, excel the Bible. AT LAST ACCOUNT THE fountain pen salesmen were still shovellim in the shekels about Shelby street corners, Anent which file following from Eugene Ash craft's column )n the Monroe Fu riuirer might be of interest: ‘ Well, about the time I've got yie 10-cent fountain pen salesmen run off the streets of Monroe, here comes along the picture-enlarging agents "Funny thing about these picture agents. A few years ago they sold an "enlarged work of art" for 98 rents—frame extra. Now you ‘draw' for a $30 portrait. and if you're lucky it will cost only $15. "Everybody is lucky. "Remembet. rriends. “a fcVll and his money are soon parted." and that a sucker is born every min ute.'' THIS DEPARTMENT, NEG leoted rs it is, nets one consolation out ol the "flu" epidemic, surer, ac cording to reports, more people arc reading it how than ever before. Which is due. of course, to the fact that they're piled up in bed and have nothing else.to do after they get through with the regular news and "penney eohr ins," Such a perfect gift!
