Balanced Winter Diet
For Health in Spring
(By the Bureau of Home Economic!,
V. S. Bureau of Agriculture.
Our diet In winter has much to do
with our health In the spring. The
"tired feeling" that cornea with the
first warm daya may have nothing
to do with the weather, but Instead
may be caused by a lack of the right
variety of fooda In winter. How Is
the time to take atock of winter food
prospect.
Lack of the necessary variety In
diet Is more likely In winter because
some of the important "protective"
foods are then out of season In many
psrts of the country, and therefore
are more expensive. But some way
must be found of supplying, if not
those foods, then their equivalent In
food value, all the year round and
at all levels of cost. This Is the taak
cut out for the housewife, and It Is
not simple If food money Is scarce,
says the Bureau of Home Economics
of the V. B. department of agricul
ture. Nutritionist In the Bureau of
Home Economics have worked out
weekly food budgets fee families of
different alee and make-up, at vari
ous levels of coat. The specialists
know that each person In the family
must have approximately so many
calorie of body fuel each day, ac
cording to age, sex and degree of
aotlvlty. They know that the body
must have certain food substances
to build or repair Its Wood, bone and
muscle. They know that certain
"protective" substances regulate the
body and help to build resistance to
disease. When their calculations are
complete and specialists are able to
suggest a weekly marketing list which
will Include common articles of food
that contain the necessary variety and
proportions of the required food sub
stances, 1. e., carbohydrates, proteins,
fats, minerals and vitamins. This
market list will furnish a balanced
diet, Including fuel foods, building
foods and protective foods.
It Is the protective foods, particu
larly vegetables and fruits, that are
likely to appear on the table too sel
dom In winter. Oreen, leafy vege
tables, with their vitamins, their cal
cium, Iron and other mineral salts,
are just as necessary out of season
as In summer when the gardens are
growing, but out-of -season foods as
a rule cost more. One of the cheap
est of all vegetables, however, Is cab
bage, which Is always stored for win
ter use, and comes at the top of the
list for protective values. In mild
ellmates, tumlp tops and oollards
also can be available most of the
year, and spinach Is cheap In some
localities.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are
high In protective value, Irish pota
toes for vitamin O, and sweet pota
toes for vitamins A and O. Turnips
and carrots also are protective foods,
yellow turnips and carrots being rich
especially In vitamin A. Dried beans
and peas are Important tor their pro
tein as well as for their minerals and
vitamins, although they do not con
tain the "complete" protein of milk,
meat and eggs.
Tomatoes, canned or freaft, are o
high in vitamin content Writ they
rank with cabbage and other green
leaves as protective foods; and noth
ing, by the way, Is easier to serve
than tomato juice as a cocktail, and
In the large cans now on the market,
the Juice ooste little more than can
Bed tomatoes. Although classed as
a vegetable, tomatoes are really fruit,
and may be used for the same pur
poses wherever fruits are lacking. The
vitamin, value of tomatoes Is about
the same a that , of oranges and
grapefruit.
The citrus fruits oranges, tanger
ines, grapefruit, lemons are rich
sources of vitamins. Dried fruits, nl
. though they have lost much of their
vitamin content, are still good sources
of minerals. Raisins, prunes, dried
apricots especially are Important for
their iron. Among the oheaper can
ned fruits, peaches and pineapple re
tain much of the food value of the
fresh fruit. '
In short, the bureau's advice Is
this: Do not fall to eat vegetables
and fruit as regularly In winter as
in summer. The more limited the
family puree, the more uneconom
ical It Is to spend that precious food
money for a one-sided diet, too heavy
with breads, cereals, fats and sweets,
and lacking In vegetables and fruits.

RECIPES
Roast Stuffed Pork Shoulder.
Have the butcher skin a trimmed,
fresh, plcnlo shoulder of medium to
large size and remove the bones.
Wipe the meat with a damp cloth.
Lay the boned shoulder, fat side
down, and carefully cut a few gashes
In the parts where the meat Is thick
est so that it will hold more stuff
ing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
File In some of the hot stuffing,
begin to sew the edges of the shoul
der together to form a pocket, and
gradually work In the rest of the
stuffing, not packing It, but putting
in lightly as much aj the shoulder
will hold. The recipe for stuffing
makes the right quantity for a three
or four-pound shoulder; for a larger
shoulder make the stuffing on the
oasis of three cups of bread crumbs
and Increase the other Ingredients
proportionately. Rub the outside of
the stuffed shoulder with salt, pep
per and flour. Place the roast on a
rack In an open pan without water.
Sear the meat for 30 minutes, or un
til lightly browned lu a hot oven
(800 to 325 deg. P.), and continue
roasting at this temperature until
the meat Is tender. A four-pound
shoulder will require about three and
one-balf hours to cook when these
oven ' temperatures are used. ;

CAUTION NEEDED
An Influenza epidemic spreading
throughout the valley was reported
today by Dr. 0. 1. Drummond, oounty
physician, who Issued a cell for cau
tion on the part of, all persons suf
fering from the malady. Most of the
people In this county afflicted, and
about 60 per cent of them are hav
ing or have had the influenza, he
stated, are 111 .about four or five
days. It la Imperative that they re
main In bed and take very good care
to avoid future complications. So
far most of the people suffering with
the epidemic, are getting along sat
isfactorily.' The greatest number of
Illnesses are found among the un
employed, he stated, and are many
times the result of undernourish
ment. In a pamphlet Issued by the state
board of health, a warning regard
ing this epidemic la sounded. "In
fluenza Is a highly communicable dis
ease," It states. "It cornea on sud
denly witti a fever lasting three days.
There is a feeling of great depres
sion and a marked lowering of phy
sical vigor. Bronchitis and pneumo
nia may rapidly follow, especially
when the victim attempts to return
to his work too early. Failure to give
In to so short an Illness and the
natural tendency of the vigorous
male to "fight It off" when Indis
posed undoubtedly accounts, for the
fact that, while females are attacked,
the death rate Is usually higher
among males.
The most simple complication is
pneumonia. Simple uncomplicated
cases of influenza do not die.
