Better Balanced Meals

Z DA IAIJY ALLIN

M06? Americans do not out enough essential foods at mealtime.

As 1 result. childsen and home- mckere snatch snacks between meals: workers need coffee-breaks during the morning and or after- noon; and many adults and most teen-agers raid the refrigerator :1 night.

Moreover. single package! of man) canned foods and all frozen foods yield only 3 to 4 servings. which are not enough to satisfy the average family. So. rather that. buy "doubles," the homemaker often cuts on l'55Pl"lll.il foods, and the family mls up on frills.

Another contributing cause in! in-between meals or snacks is 'hat most home meals have not been balanced. This has been due to the relatively high cost of fresh vege- tables and of beef Ani-rica's fav- oi-ite meat

Prices Lowered

F'oi-tunately. both of these foods have now come down lll piice. This year, nature has provided a huge abundance; and the men engaged in the production. procmsing and distribution of these foods have joined tn I voluntary. co-operative campaign to market them at rea- sonable prices without government subsidy - 1 heart-warming example of individual initiative and criter- prise in the American tradition.

An effort should be made to find the cause of the polyps. This may be done by means of skin -allergy tests of various pollens, molds. dist or food.

Chronic Siriue

is the interval between dinner and breakfast the following morning. A meal usually leaves the storm- ach in three to 4V: hours after eating. although fatty foods may stay longer.

Therefore, the chief source of nu- trients which the body has to draw from followng this period are the refined and much-digested food materials found circulating in the blood stream. These include min- erals. vitamins. and perhaps some tissue-repairing materials. Also there will be small amounts of glucose.

is constant companion is I small white-mittened gray kitty called Bimmy -- I name he was tagged with because he loves to sleep - any time. anywhere He and Bimmy stood. wide-eyed with wonder one day not so long ago as a long-legged rabbit played hide and seek for a few mo- ments in the long grass across the fence. The house is quiet and peaceful at this late hour. Upstairs Mary is no doubt dreaming about "this time next week." when she will leave the home circle and con- tinue her studies at the same place where I spent so many happy hours in the long ago. It is hard to realize that so many years have gone by since. I walked up thosc self same steps to become just "another boarder." But time must have passed. I pick up the letter I received in the mail today from Tpr. Paul and his young wife and re-read it and it seems very wonderful to see a beloved daughter-in-law's letter begin "Dear Mom." I whis- per a silent prayer that in her eyes I will always be "Dear Mom." and not thought of as "my rnnther-in- law." That's a term that should have never been invented! So the night that came flowing softly down across the wooded hills a few hours ago is merging into morning and I must lay my pen aside. Kon-Tikkl and Bimmy sleep companionably side by side on the doorstep and s sliver of white moon has long since gone to its starry bed. Across the wily ii red light flickers and gleam: through the church windows --- in remind- er that God is with us watching over us not only this Sunday but every day. And I'm reminded of this saying. "This is what I have found out about religion. It gives you courage to make the decisions you must make in it crisis, then the confidence to leave the result to a Higher Power. Only by trust in God can a man carrying re- sponsibility. find repose"
