Timely Notes On Nutrition

By Marjorie G. Hill

FRUIT

Fruit - eat one serving of citrus fruit or tomatoes or their juices and one serving of other fruit every day. This is Group 2 of Canada's Food Rules. Did you eat the right amount of fruit yester- day?

Most of us are well acquainted with the stories of the early ex- plorers and the records which reveal how many of them died of a d:scase called Scurvy. The vic- tims of this disease suffered froml sore mouths, and loose teeth. Their bones broke easily. and small blood vessels burst under the skin. The majority of those afflicted died of this disease event- ually.

in the late nineteenth century SC.Cfl'.L.:LS proved that Scurvy was ('.lilSt't'l by lack of a substance in our uzct called vitamin C and: that this vitaniin is gotten from fruits - especially citrus fruiLs- oranges. grapefruit. lemons. In other ivurcts Group 2 of Canada's Food Rules is the group that sup- plies vitamin C in our diets.

Fruits have a very important place in our diet. As we men- tioncd above, they supply our bodies with vitamin C which is necessary for the prevention of the actual disease - scurvy - and all its latent. or hidden signs which occur in both children, and adults who do not eat proper food. They are anemia. lowered resistance to infection, loss of weight, and pallor.

Fruits have other important fac- tors besides their vitamin C con- tent which should influence us to make more frequent use of them. They are our most delicious na- tural food product. Their color. aroma. flavor and texture are I0 pleasing to our sense of sight and smell that they stimuate our ap- petites, and food eaten with ap- petite always digest: better.

Fruits contain some indigeatible residue which adda bulk to our diets and thus promotes good in- testional hygiene. Fruits have been found to be very efficient in reducing slight acidity of the body. In summary. fruits, when included in our daily menu give us the vim, vigor and vitality which helps us get more enjoy- ment out of our work and play.

As the vitamin C found in fruits is soluble in water. easily destroy- ed by heat. long periods of stor- age and exposure to light, it in best to eat-fruit raw and fresh whenever possible. Orangel pre- pared the night before lose some of their vitamin C content. Stew- ed fruits do not contain as much of the vitamin as fruit eaten raw.

Foods which are high in vitamin C content are - oranges. grape- fruit, lemons. tomatoes and their juices; canteloupe: pineapple; strawberries; apples when eaten in appreciable quantities. Some of our vegetables too are recognized sources of the vitamin - raw cab-

bage; and potatoes (especially those baked in their skins) are good.

Perhaps we could recall the old llogan here to remind us of the importance of eating fruit - "An

apple I day keeps the doctor away" - and it takes eight ap-

oontent of one orange. p

We recall now that on berrying expeditions there with our small ones, perhaps while James hoed his rows of turnips in a field nearby. in a small open space the two laid out their own meadows maybe bridging an adjoining hol- low with carefully placed sticks, along which they drove inanimate herds and flock: to their farm- lands. And we listening to their conversation and gathering the fruit that hung lush and abundant all about in the sunlight and fra- grance and bird-song, knew that even if our horizon was restricted to the limit! where roving white clouds came down to touch the hilltops, life for us was exceed- ingly fair in pour possessions.

Along the fields, touched to waves of green by a small rip- pling breeze. or perhaps quietly

Summer day lay the rooftops of home. And from the summit of the rise, as one ranged a bit high- er for pickings, the spire of the old Kirk at the corner could be seen set pretiily against the sky. And no matter to what lengths we wandered in our search for sweet treasure we must come back to the weathered pine stump near the gateway where rested our fill- ing pail. Here we poured in the fruit from our gathered measure, smoothing them down, before we resumed our pickings. And men at homing, warned of it by James' call. we invariably gathered chips of the pine to an apron to hasten our supper fire. 0 C 0

After clases, and through a shower, Jamie came along the fields between, to watch the

miracle of stumping and it was his good fortune to be allowed to ride the machine briefly. an in- cident which we fancy will be long remembered.

Being a good mother in a lot more important than being a good sport. if your sports- manahip in measured by the amount of liquor you can drink. Nor is any woman called upon to lower

her standards of conduct to show her love for her husband.

No good comer of that to either one. No woman has ever

retained her husband's love by getting drunk with him. but many a wife has kept her huaband'a relpect by refusing to do so. As for the value of the example that parents let for their chil-

DEAR MISS DIX: nearly five years. He has a fairly sible for me.

I am 23 and have been engaged to a boy for

good job and does everything pos-

For the last year. because of conditions in his family. we

have been unable to go about much unless I financed the party. which he refused to let me do. Hence We have spent our evenings at my home and I don't understand whether seeing him constantly for four nights a week and doing nothing in particular is to blame for my picking on him about everything and really being uncivll to him. or whether I am slowly losing interest in him. He loves me and I love him. but we don't get, along together as well as we did.

ANSWER:

L. F.

I think that you are just fed up on each oiher's ao-

clety. and that if you would lee each other for one night a week in- stead of four you would find that your appetite for each other had

returned.

You see when you atepped out two or three times a week to some place of amusement you had the diversion of seeing other people. of light and motion that gave you new sensations; the interest of seeing

a movie; the thrill and excitement of a dance.

But when you couldn't

do this. when you had to lit at home with nothing to do but talk. you simply talked out. and began to bore each other. and that led to

your picking flaws in each other.

You may well fear that if you find quiet evenings together no

dreary now you will find marriage atlll more tedious.

For that will

mean practically every evening. instead of four a week. Will he spent at home. with no livelier amusement than each other's company.

So consider well before you let yourself into a lifetime of com- panionship that will have few thrilla in it.

deeply in love with each other. but our friends any we are not be-

We think we are both- too young to settle down to each other. What do you think?

MORE ABOUT LOW BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA

There are many ttiousarxis of men and women suffering with severe low back pain who could be relieved of pain and disability by use of it supporting brace, and in severe cases by operation. While most. cases of low back pain and sciatica are caused by infection and can be relieved by removal oi this infection. there are a great number of people. who have hurt their back by a fall, misstep. or a heavy lift. It is in these cases. caused by injury, that physicians and surgeons are finding the cause to be a "hernicated” or crushed disk. the cushion between the bones of the spinal column.

I write about this crushed disk often because so many are suffer- ing from this low back pain and intense sciatica, taking treatment for rheumatism when the removal of this crushed disk could give im- mediate relief from pain, and en- able the patient to recover his strength of nerves and muscles. No one can realize what continued pain in back and leg can do to the nervous system.

In the "Journal of Surgery," Stockholm, Dr. S. Lindgren reports 500 cases of ruptured intervert.eb- ral disks. in all except six of which he performed the operation of re- moving the disk. He states that the usual or typical case begins with lower back pain, often with scia- tica. In an effort to "lift or remove the pressure of the ruptured disk pressing on nerves of region.
