omemaking— Diet of the Average American Family Is Varied and Substantial |
THE AVERAGE AMERICAN DIET is varied and substaniial,
says
Martha Logan, a home economics expert, who recently interviewed many
so-callect “typical” American families.
She consulted approximately 47,000
visitors to New York on what they like and eat at home.
Here is what she found: Coffee is the favorite beverage with tea growing in popularity. Men in the family drink more milk than women. The vegetables most often put on the table in the average home are peas, beans, beets, tomatoes, corn, asparagus tips and celery. Baked, mashed and French fried are the favorite ways of serving potatoes. In most homes toast, coffee cake, rolls, hot biscuits and dry and cooked breakfast cereals were the usual breakfast foods. For a family with children, divide the food dollar, for an adequate diet, into the following portions: One-third or more for milk and cheese; not more than one-fourth for vegetables and fruit; about oneseventh for bread, flour and cereals; one-seventh for fats, sugars and accessories, such as coffee, tea, salt, baking powder and spices, and another one-seventh for lean meats, eggs and fish,
Today's Recipe APPLE DUMPLINGS (8 Dumplings) Two cups sifted flour, 2 teaspoons combination baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 cup butter or other shortening, 3 cup milk, 8 small apples, pared and cored, % cup sugar, 14 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 tablespoons butter, ¥% cup brown sugar, firmly
packed, dash of nutmeg, dash of cinnamon, 14 cup butter, 1% cups hot water. Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt, and sift again. Cut in shortening, add milk gradually, stirring until soft dough is formed. Turn out immediately on slightly floured board and knead 30 seconds, or enough to shape. Roll 1k -inch thick. Cut in circles. large enough to enclose a small apple. Place apple on circle, fill cavity with mixture of sugar and cinnamon, and dot| with butter. Bring dough up over apple, pressing edges together. Place dumplings in pan, with joined edges underneath; allow space between each. Combine sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, butter, and water, and pour into pan with dumplings. Bake in hot oven (450 degrees F.) 15 minutes; then decrease heat to moderate (350 degrees F.) and bake 25 minutes longer.
Tubbable Woolens
THIS SEASON’S woolen sports wear is bright and gay. True flower shades shine as brightly on the skating pond as in any summer garden. Most of these bright, wools are beautifully tubbable. Unless special cleaning instructions are indicated, general rules for washing woolen materials should apply. Wash each color separately in mild, lukewarm suds. Work quickly. Douse the garment in the suds several times, but do not rub on a board. Better results are obtained by using a second suds bath the same temperature as the first. Then rinse in at least three clear lukewarm rinses, squeezing, not wringing, out the water. Roll in a thick turkish towel to absorb excess water. If the article is small and does not require pressing, spread and dry on a flat surface. Do not dry near direct heat nor in. freezing temperatures.
The Question Box
' @—In Contract Bridge, when should one cover an honor with an honor? A—When this play may establish @ card for yourself or partner.
Q—What treatment may be given ¢ transparent umbrella to prevent stickiness and cracking? A—Rub lightly with a cloth dipped in glycerine and then wipe with a clean cloth.
Q—Why do people in tropical oountries eat such highly seasoned foods? A—Because food is not nearly so palatable in warm climates, and high seasoning stimulates the appetite.

Don’t Bounce Out of Bed and Start Exercising |
AND TAKE IT EASY RIGHT AFTER EATING

WITH TIRED MUSCLES
By CAPT. VICTOR H. KING Instructor in Physical Culture, West Point
FEST POINT, N. Y
Y—A few words about when
and where to exercise and what io wear. You can exercise at about any convenient hour of the day, even before going to bed if that is your only opportunity. There are two exceptions: (1) Don’t exercise immediately after eating, and (2) don’t exercise im-
mediately after arising, other than
indulging for a
few seconds in moderate stretching and bending. Your body doesn’t want a workout at that time
of day and you probably won't want
one again either
_|if you persist against your body’s wishes.
You can exercise in any convenient place at home
or at the office.
Fresh air is'.desirable but don’t
freeze yourself to get it because your. body must be warm while exercising. to avoid stiffness. Hence, while exercising always wear clothing which is a little warmer than you would wear otherwise and which is’ loose enough to allow freedom of ‘action.
This “push-up” exercise Miss Betti Stine of N. C. A. G. U. is demonstrating is no pushover—but you can do it, with perseverence. It’s a fine streamliner for your entire body, especially arms and shoulders. Be sure back and legs are straight and that cheek touches floor.
IE wv:
The exercise today is a variation of “push-ups.” Everybody who has ever done any calisthenics before has had to do push-ups and knows that they are no
“push-over.” Here's one you
Support your body face downward on your arms and feet with your back, legs, and arms straight. Now bend your arms, turn your head to the left, and lower your body until your right cheek touches the floor, at the same time raising your left leg up as
high as possible.
Recover to the starting position and then repeat with your right cheek and right leg. . Keep your back and legs straight throughout. Repeat as many times can “take it.” Excellent. for your | entire body, especially arms and shoulders. ,

You're As Young As Your Body
Your Health
By JANE STAFFORD
Science Service Writer : DOCTORS KNOW and many parents have noticed that rosycheeked babies frequently grow pale and anemic about the time of their 1-year-old birthdays. This anemia is due to lack of iron and results
from two conditions. One is a low intake of iron associated with an exclusive milk diet. The other is the baby’s increased requirement for iron due to his rapid growth at this age.
Milk, a nearly perfect food, is|-
rather low in iron content, but modern: methods of feeding babies provide many foods besides milk for the infant diet. Such iron-rich foods as egg yolk, green vegetables and liver are given to the baby at a very early age these days. The vegetables and liver, of course, are chopped and strained so that they present no chewing problem to the toothless infant.
” ” ” THE INCREASED NEED for iron during periods of rapid growth are
due to the increased size of the body. Iron is an essential component of ‘every cell in the body, Dr. Cyrus S. Sturgis, of the University of Michigan, points out in a report to the American Public Health Association. The metal probably has a vital] function related to the metabolism of the cells, Since every cell needs iron, there must be some increase in this element during the periods: of active growth due to an added number of cells in the body. “This is probably not a significantly large amount,” Dr. Sturgis says. “A more important need for iron is created by the increase in total blood volume which means that a greater amount of hemoglobin must be synthesized.” The hemoglobin, you know, is the red coloring matter .of the blood which carries oxygen. Babies have about the. same amount of hemoglobin in their bodies when six months old as at birth, although their birth weight may have doubled. Consequently, months of age they are not likely to be anemic from lack of iron solely because of a low intake of iron in their food. After six months, however, increased need for iron develops.

Today's Pattern
PATTERN 8771
There's something very cheery and charming about this gay new version of the jumper-blouse which heads its class in school fashions. The skirt has a buoyant flare, and the jumper straps wear lively epaulet trims and braid edgings that make it very individual and cute. The straps cross in the back, you see, so that there. won't be. any slipping - off - the-shoulders trouble. This type of jumper makes the contrast of light and dark fabrics particularly becoming. With a couple of jumpers like this (remember the pattern is No. 8771) and perhaps half a dozen blouses, any school-girl will be wellequipped for the winter term. She can wear sweaters with the jumper, too, of course. Corduroy, flannel, jersey and wool crepe are smart jumper materials. Challis, jersey, flat crepe, pretty for the blouse. Pattern No. 8771 is designed for sizes 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 years. Size 6 requires 1% yards of 54-inch material without nap for jumper; 1% yards for long-sleeved blouse; 4% yards trimming. For a Pattern of this attractive model send 15¢ in coin, your name, address, style, number and size to The Indianapolis Times, 214 W.
