Chicago Board of Health Issues
Warning Bulletin
Urges Vegetarian Diet and Gives
Pointers to Those Who Must
Have Meat— Much Nutrition
in Cheap Steak
Chicago— “Don’t make a Junkshop
of your stomach” is the warning of
the Chicago health department in the
weekly bulletin issued the other day
The editor of the bulletin advocates
a vegetarian diet but for those who
must have meat with their meals be
points out a way to get abound the
high cost of living problem
j “The cost of an article of food is no
true guide as to its real nutritive
value” he says “For example a glass
of pure milk with bread and butter an
egg and a dish of fruit costing all
told 25 cents is a much better meal
for the average person than a big sir-
loin steak which with ‘trimmings
will cost five times a3 much”
“The trouble with many people is
they are willing to pay high prices for
food that while it tickles or pleases
their palates is of no more value than
that costing much less
“A pound of protein or fat from a
tenderloin steak at 28 cents a pound
contains no more nutrition than the
same amount from shoulder or round
steak at less than half the expense
Even In these days of high prices 25
cents will buy meat enough with vege-
tables added to make a savory and
nourishing stew for six persons and
the entire cost lucluding bread butter
coffee and vegetables need not ex-
ceed 10 cents per person
“According to the Londan Lancet
there is very little difference between
the nutritive value of wheat and rye
One distinct advantage of rye bread
is that it keeps fresh longer than
wheat bread Rye bread also has dis-
tinct laxative properties
“The effect of deep breathing as a
mental stimulant is very pronounced
Two minutes’ exercise of deep breath-
ing will remove all feelings of slug-
gishness provided of course that the
exercise be taken in a room with the
windows wide open or better still in
the open air
“The mouth is the seat of many of
the communicable diseases For this
reason mouth sanitation is important
A clean mouth and sound teeth are
big factors in promoting physical
health Oral hygiene as it is called
is becoming an important and recog-
nized branch of medical school inspec-
tion It is well understood that proper
care and attention given to the mouth
means that the child will be healthier
better able to assimilate its food make
better progress in its studies and be
less liable to attack from tbe usual
epidemic diseases of childhood
“During the months of January and
February of this year 13458 physical
examinations were made of children in
tbe public schools Of this number
5350 were found to require treatment
Tbe principal ailments and to which
parents were urged that Immediate at-
tention be given were as follows:
Diseases of tbe eye! 1940
Bad teeth 6245
Enlarged glands 1738
Defective bearing 174
Defective nasal breathing 661
Adenoids 599
Affected tonsils
“To properly appreciate tbe value to
tbe child of medical school Inspection
when properly done it should be clear-
ly understood that any one of the
minor defects noted and for which
treatment wss urged amounts to a se-
pious and positive handicap or hin

RUIN OF NATIONS IN DRESS
College Professor Says Empires Will
Be Driven to Fate of Rome If
Wives Don’t Reform
New York— If Prof Scott Nearing
who bolds a chair in the economic de-
partment of the University of Penn-
sylvania does not get "in bad” with
tbe modern woman then wonders
never cease Hear him:
“If the women of today continue to
be the economic burdens to men that
they are now they will ruin this coun-
try just as the dissolute women of
Rome ruined that empire
“The wife no longer contributes to
the family income by creating values
With tbe increased standard of elab-
orate dressing she Is often its chief
burden
"Modern Industry has converted
men into earners and women into
spenders
When a reporter called on him to-
day he was found in a cosy little
house with a very pretty wife In a
crisp white dress
‘The woman of today" said Profes-
sor Nearing “is fn the third stage
First she was tbe slave a creature
that might be beaten by her lord and
master Second came a state of co-
operative labor with the cook stove
and tbe loom '
“Now we have tbe parasite woman
Tbe whole idea of the women of tbe
middie and upper classes Is to sponge
upon the men
“And whose is the fault?” was
asked
“Nobody is to blame” answered
Professor Nearing “Tbe women oi
today are not to blame for what they
are any more than are tbe men
“But the time has come when two
roads open before tbe woman of tbe
future Either she must continue to
be a taraslts and xo down to rnln

SINGLETREE FOR AN ORCHARD
Implement Like One Shown In lilus-
traion Will Prevent Much Injury
to Trees by Plowman
Many a good tree has been ruined
by a careless plowman who allowed
tbe end of tbe Bingletree to scrape off
the bark It Is easy to avoid Injury of
this kind by making a singletree like
Orchard Singletree
that shown in the illustration It is
made of a board of bard wood about
an Inch thick shaped In a curve and
on the outside Is nailed a - piece of
strap or iron with holes in the end for
hitching the tugs An old leather har-
ness tug will answer the purpose al-
most as well as the iron but of course
will not last so long A singletree of
this kind should be made just wide
enough so a horse can walk between
the tugs comfortably without rubbing
bis legs against them
Substitute for Bordeaux
‘Time-Sulphur as a Summer Spray1
new bulletin ready for distribution
from the New York State College of
Agriculture contains a clean-cut sum-
mary with a brief discussion of tbe
results obtained by Errett Wallace
They indicate that lime-sulphur Is an
efficient substitute for bordeaux Jn tbe
control of apple scab Some of tbe
important points brought out are:
Lime-sulphur-will control tbe apple
scab In wet season as well as in a dry
one A dilution of 1-40 of a concen-
trate testing 33 degrees Beaume with
two pounds arsenate of lead is about
right for the apple scab Arsenate of
Jead increases the fungicidal value of
lime sulphur by 50 per cent The fun-
gicidal value of sediment in lime-sulphur
depends upon magnesium oxide
content The bulletin will be sent only
to New York farmers sufficiently in-
terested to make a special request
The Tulip In Pots
Some varieties of tulips are well
adapted to the flower pot The Clu-
slana grows to a height of 18 or 20
inches with a slender stem The
leaves are long and narrow and the
flower sometimes measures -two
Inches across This variety la of the
funnel form with bright lemon-yellow
flowers with light shading of green or
white sometimes streaked with pink
It is very fragrant and when properly
cultivated is one of the most beantiful
of all tbe tulip family '
The tulip is easy to cultivate aa It
thrives well In either beavy or light
soil It does better however in rath-
er light soil well drained and fairly
rich Those grown In heavy black
soil produce smaller flowers and ’ tbe
colors are not nearly so brighL
Plant Grape Cuttings Early
Plant grape cuttings very early In
(be spring— as early as the ground
can be worked Tbe cutting should
slant a little and only have one bud
above tbe ground ’

FACTS ABOUT TUSSOCK MOTH

When Full Grown It Is One of Our
Most JBeautlful Caterpillar— Meth-
ods for Combating Insect
When fuil grown the white marked
tusBock moth 1b one of our most beau-
tiful caterpillars Immediately recog-
nized by the four white tufta or tus-
socks bn back The head Is bright
coral red and the body marked with
longitudinal yellow gray and black
lines Below the caterpillar is yellow
There are two tufts of black project-
ing forward from above tbe head At
the posterior end of the body there is
one hairy “horn”
This “worm” when full grown has
been feeding for a month and Is about
an inch long At that time It spins !Sr
Itself a hairy cocoon This may be
on the tree where it has been feeding
op upon other trees or upon buildings
fences etc Two weeks are spent in
this cocoon at tbe expiration of which
time the moth emerges The male moth
gray The female moth has no
wings She lays eggs In a whitish
mass on her cocoon and then dies
This egg mass with the cocoon la a
conspicuous object and when It Is
known that the eggs of the female
number from 200 to 400 the impor-
tance of gathering and destroying the
egg masses before hatching is very ap-
parent This pest is a general feeder

They're all so bad I can't decide”

The styles we have to wear this year
Are simply fearful and I know
They’ll make us all look awfu) queer'
Time: 1840— Mrs Green
Says: “Goodness but the styles this
spring
Are quite the ugliest I’ve seen
I can’t find an attractive thing!”
lime: 1800-Mr White:
“The eempe trees has from Londontowa
The fashions and they vex me quit—
Not one but causes me to frown”
Back in the 1600’s too
The Lady Constance Th!s-or-That
I Cried: “Odsflsh! Modes and manner
Make one a fright In dress and hat!”
I Long ere Columbus sailed this way
The stately ladles of old Epaln

I When Julius Caesar ruled In Rome
1 The ladies said the Latin for:
"If 1 hould wear that fashion home
Twoujd gmpIy mean a household war"
And when old Pharaoh filled the throne
The ladles long since mummified
In fretful way let It be known
The changing fashion they decried
No doubt fair mother Eve likewise
Expressed dissatisfaction too
At the late styles In paradise
When she must shop for something neWt
And endless centuries from now
The styles the women hate we’ll m

“Well? Didn’t you Bay— doesn't th

and hopped up and down In his wrath
“Sure What do you want? Hasn't
It fixed you all right? Don't look to v’
