"Your Diet

Perfect health is necessary to perfect beauty and health and good feeding always go hand in hand. A sensible diet is one of the most important factors in. beauty culture, as no amount of outward application will give a clear complexion if the blood is in poor condition.

An intelligent selection of food (1), provides the body with the heat and energy it has to expend and...(2) repairs the daily ste of tissue, and in the case of children builds up new material. A well-balanced diet must there¬" fore contain carbohydrates, and fats to fulfil the Arst condition, and protein to full the second. The carbohydrates and fats are found in the starchy foods and sugar, and in butter, oli, suet and cream, etc.; while we get protein principally from meat, fish, milk, eggs, cheese and the dry legumes. In addition to these the body re- quires mineral salts and vitamins, of which fresh fruit and vegeta=" bles: are a variable source. ÅR.

most foods contain a mixture of. these the secret of successful· "nutriment les in giving plenty of
