A sturdy resistance against the ills of winter should be built up by means of a balanced diet which assures an abundant supply of the minerals and vitamins. When a person is undernourished or improperly nourished, he is denied of every defense, lie is chilled by the slightest drop in temperature. He offers fertile soil for every kind of disease germs He can neither resist their inva sion, nor fight them off after they have attacked. Thus, the first rule for keeping warm and well in winter is to live and eat in a manner that helps to maintain health and strength. The correct winter diet differs in one important respect and one only from the correct diet at other sea sons. riety, either fresh or canned; an egg daily, or at least three or four weekly; one daily serving of meat, fish or chicken, and a second protein food such as cheese, dried peas or beans or nuts; and enough of the fuel foods including whole grain cereals, to keep the body warm and comfortable. If you eat correctly and dress sensibly so that you are neither too warmly clad indoors nor too thinly clad out of doors, you can enjoy cold weather and benefit by it to the extent of increased health and happiness.

Toicnsendism Again But Townsendism is the most favored substitute, and how sensible is Townsendism? At least 100 con- transactions. But the pensioneers must be satisfied, or stamped out. Thus far they've shoved from office such prominent men as California's Sen. William Gibbs McAdoo, defeated in the primary by Sheridan Downey, who rode the crest of a new pension wave. Downeyism advocates the scrip plan, despite the failure of scrip in Alberta a couple of years ago. Thirty dollars in scrip would be issued each Thursday to every Californian over 60 years old. To pay for it, a two cent state stamp, bought with real money, would be pasted each Thursday on the back of each $1 piece of scrip in circulation. At the end of a year the scrip would carry $1.04 in stamps and would be redeemed for $1.00 in cash. Downeyism has spread to other states, notably Ohio, where the chief arguments center around payday. Shall it be Wednesday or Thursday? Ohio's rival petitioners have thus far failed to provide financial machinery. As in California, the battle cry is for "ham and eggs." A group of Nebraskans hope ham and eggs will come from slot machines, for on November 8 that state will vote on an amendment "relating to public assistance, welfare and social security; to provide revenue for the state assistance fund from the proceeds of an annual tax to be levied on owners and operators of devices." Mysteriously sponsored and cleverly phrased, the Nebraska petition was probably gigned by many people who didn't realize that the tax would be on slot machines instead of plain vending machines. The has resultant complaint changed the amendment to read "machines of chance." coin-operate- d Oregon to the Rescue Oregon has two petitions, one memorializing congress to call a national convention for a constitutional amendment establishing the Boileau bill.

The winter diet was deficient in minerals and vitamins, which science has proven to be the proSimon-Pur- e tectors of health, barriers against disease, sustainers of life. But in those days, vitamins were unknown and very little had been learned about minerals. Therefore, when people became ill during cold weather, the natural con clusion was that sickness was inevitable during the winter season. v xtv. r,v Cold Weather Really a Tonic Times have changed. Scientific The knowledge has increased. art"1 Ha, Z?.w. genius of man has asserted itself in mechanical advancement. The diet" expressions, r and diet," have lost their former meaning. Almost without exception, the protective foods are available throughout the year, no matter where we live. It is therefore possible to the health by a balanced diet all the year 'round, and to benefit by the tonic effect of cold weather. For, contrary to popular belief, cold weather is beneficial, and not harmful, to healthy people. Cold speeds up all the activities of the body. The circulation is improved, muscle tone is increased, and digestion, absorption and elimination are stimulated. Even prolonged cold is thus a tonic to health, provided we do not weaken our bodies by an unbalanced diet It is partly because so many people continue to eat improperly, in spite of our newer knowledge of nutrition, that we still find an increasing amount of sickness in the fall, which mounts steadily until it reaches its peak in the months of January, February and March.

Houston Goudiss The reason why some men and women in their middle years look and feel younger today than their parents did at the same age, is because they have learned something of the importance of caring properly for their teeth. In recent years, dentists have discovered that sound teeth are in truth a passport to good health, and that there is as close a relationship between healthy teeth and healthy bodies as between decayed teeth and sickly bodies. Unfortunately, however, only a small percentage of our population is yet aware of the effects of teeth upon health, and a distinguished scientist is so disturbed over our national ignorance in this respect that he has said that unless this trend is reversed, the course of human evolution will lead downward to extinction. That statement is no exaggeration. For it would be the infludifficult to ence of the teeth on human health and happiness. For many years I have endeavored to explain that a neglected tooth which soon becomes a decayed tooth is a poison factory, distributing its noxious products to every part of the body, and that it may lead indirectly to neuritis, rheumatic ailments, dyspepsia, and other obscure complaints. In many of the "WHAT TO EAT AND WHY" articles, which have appeared in this newspaper over my signature, I have endeavored to point out the close relationship between diet and dental disease; between frequent and thorough brushing of the teeth with an efficient dentifrice so as to remove all food particles, and strong, beautiful teeth. As a result of these articles, I have received many letters, show ing that homemakers are eager for sound, authoritative advice on the proper care of the teeth. To help these and other readers how to properly care for their teeth, I have prepared a booklet on "BUILDING AND PLANNING HEALTH" which I am offering FREE, because I feel so strongly that this information should be in every home, knowing as I do, that the salvation of the human race may lie in saving their teeth.
