Houston Goudlss Counsels Wise Eating During the Holiday Season By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS nHE advent of the holiday season marks the beginning of one of the most difficult periods of the entire year for the homemaker. To begin with, she is busied with the hundred and one details of Christmas shopping, the planning of holiday entertainments . . . and the preparation of extra food for parties.

Child's Diet Especially Important Guard Against Lowered Resistance Unfortunately, statistics show that the common cold and other similar ailments greatly increase in number directly after the first of the year. That is also the period when we find more people suffering from fatigue than I at any other sea- . kX. I son. Both condi-- I I tions are k frequent-- I iS I ly traceable to faulty habits of eating and faulty hygiene during the holiday season. The person who is forewarned is usually forearmed. Therefore, every homemaker who has the interests of her family at heart should plan, now, to arrange activities so that strain and fatigue will be reduced to a minimum. And more specifically, she should see to it that she formulates a sound eating program. Far too many people, at this season of the year, suffer the ill effects of lowered resistance brdught about by unwise eating and by overeating. Overeating of a poorly chosen diet is inadvisable at any time because it tends to overburden the digestive system. But it is particularly undesirable during the winter season when almost everyone tends to stay too long indoors, frequently in overheated rooms, and to take too little outdoor exercise. Regularity in eating a carefully balanced diet, containing sufficient bulky foods to help promote regular health habits, is of the utmost importance if resistance is to be maintained at a high peak during the holiday season.

You may find, if you allow him to become overtired or feed him" unaccustomed foods, that it will be a struggle to get him to bed, and even then he may not sleep soundly. And it is generally recognized that disturbed sleep, plus unwise eating, may have most unfortunate conse' quences. ' ''''; The Ideal Holiday Diet Holiday or no holiday, both children and adults should have at least two fruits daily, one of which should be a citrus fruit or toma toes, to help provide adequate vitamin C; there should be two vegetables besides potatoes, one of which should be of the green, leafy variety; ah egg daily, or at least three or four weekly; a quart of milk for every child, and a pint for each adult.
