Fair Enough
The bum approached the prospect.
“Say, mister,” he asked, “can
you spare a nickel for a cup of cof-

The citizen dug into his pocket
and studied his change.
“I’m sorry," he said, “But the
smallest change I have is a quar-

The bum shrugged.
“Okay with me,” he suggested.

What to Eat and Why
C. Houston Goudiss Discusses Significance
of Fruits and Vegetables; Tells the
Truth About Canned Foods
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
A GENERATION ago, except in mid-summer, fruits were
a luxury that only appeared, with nuts, at the end of a
: festive meal, and vegetables, except for the root crops, had
I no regular place in the daily diet. But when scientists estab-
i lished the importance of mineral salts in human nutrition,
these two groups of foods assumed a position of commanding
importance, because next to——-
nilk and eggs, they are the chief
conveyors of minerals from the
soil to man.
With the discovery of vitamins
they achieved new distinction
, because in their content of these
vital substances, they rank with
milk and eggs as “protective**
j foods.
Foods That Safeguard Health
In addition to providing nutri-
ents that are indispensable for
buoyant health and
normal growth,
they possess anoth-
er important vir-
tue: the indigesti-
ble cellulose or
bulk yielded by the
! fibrous framework
of the leaves,
stems and fruits of
plants, has a natu-
ral laxative value
which helps to in-
sure normal elimi-
nation. And finally, they are ex-
tremely useful in helping to main-
tain the acid-base balance of the
body, for all vegetables and fnost
fruits yield an alkaline-ash fol-
lowing digestion.
Green Vegetables for Iron
Fruits and vegetables supply
varying amounts of practically ev-
ery mineral element the body re-
quires.
They do not compare with milk
as a source of calcium, but sub-
stantial amounts of this bone-and-
tooth-building substance are to be
found in leaf and stem vegetables,
carrots, oranges, figs and straw-
berries. Moreover, investigations
have demonstrated that calcium
from vegetables is well utilized by
adults.
Green vegetables, in general,
are outstanding as a source of
iron. And it has been further es-
tablished that their iron is better
absorbed and becomes more com-
pletely available for nutrition than
iron from some other sources.
Some fruits are also valued for
their iron content, the more nota-
ble including oranges; tomatoes,
which are botanically a fruit,
though they are classed as a vege-
table; strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries and huckleberries;
and dried figs, dates and prunes.
Vegetables for Vitamin A
We usually think of milk and
other dairy products as our most
important sources of vitamin A.
But recently, it has been deter-
mined that the thin green leaves
of vegetables are also outstanding
in this respect. Weight for weight,
when fresh, escarole is more than
five times as rich as butter. Young
green peas and green string beans
are also a good source of this vita-
min as are tomatoes, carrots, and
sweet potatoes.
Sources of Vitamin C
Vitamin C, which is essential for
maintaining the health of teeth
and gums and for preventing the
degeneration of muscle fibers
generally, is obtained almost en-
tirely from fruits and vegetables.
The principal sources of this vita-
min are the citrus fruits; raw and
canned tomatoes and canned to-
mato juice; strawberries: raw
carrots, onions and yellow tur-
nips.
As this vitamin is easily de-
stroyed by heat in the presence
of oxygen, the amount present
in any fruit or vegetable is great-
ly reduced by the average home
cooking methods. On the other
hand, this and other vitamins, as
well as minerals, are usually well
retained in commercially canned
fruits and vegetables.
What About Canned Foods?
I frequently receive letters from
readers who question the merits
of canned foods. They ask wheth-
er it is true that canned foods are
devoid of vitamins; whether
canned foods are wholesome for
children; whether or not canned
foods may spoil on the grocer’s
shelves; and if it is dangerous to
eat foods that have stood in the
can for a few minutes after be-
ing opened.
To discount the value of modern
canned foods is to display a lack
of knowledge as to how these foods
are harvested, prepared and
packed. And the failure to use
them may result in depriving your
family of essential minerals and
vitamins.
There are available in cans to-
day, 46 varieties of vegetables, 33
kinds of fruit, and 10 different
juices, besides soups, numerous
specialties and several kinds of
fish. Every one of these presents
a healthful and nutritious food in a
form that is often superior to the
same foods cooked at home. That
is partly because of the methods
employed and partly because
canned foods are processed at the
peak of their flavor and freshness.
A Superlative Canned Food
An outstanding example is
canned salmon which has been
called by one of America’s lead-
ing food experts, “the cheapest
and most nutritious animal food
that can be had for children over
six.”
Very little fresh salmon finds its
way into our markets and even
then it may be far from “fresh”
after a considerable journey
packed in ice. On the other hand,
salmon canneries+iave been estab-
lished in close proximity to the
waters from which salmon are
taken, so that only a few hours
elapse between the time the fish
are removed from the water and
the moment their rich nourish-
ment is sealed in cans.
Similarly the fruits and vege-
tables designed for canning are al-
lowed to mature on tree or vine.
This means that they develop
maximum flavor and vitamin con-
tent. Then they are picked, rushed
to nearby canneries and hermeti-
cally sealed in cans. The sealed
cans are then cooked at high heat
so as to destroy any bacteria
which might be present. Because
they are protected from the air
during the cooking process, and
because the cooking liquors are
sealed in the cans, they retain a
maximum amount of minerals and
vitamins. It is because canned
foods are so definitely superior in
this respect that physicians en-
couraged the canning of strained
fruits and vegetables for infants
and young children.
Fallacies Disproved
Canned foods will keep indefi-
nitely without spoilage, as long as
nothing occurs to make the can
leak. It is not necessary to re-
move canned food from the con-
tainer as soon as the tin is opened,
though many homemakers often
do so because the food presents a
more attractive appearance in a
dish or bowl. A hissing sound
when opening does not mean that
the contents of a can are spoiled,
but rather that there was a vac-
uum in the can. which the air is
rushing in to fill.
Thus canned fruits and vegeta-
bles are not only “as good as”
fresh ones, but are often superior
in food values. Every homemaker
should see to it that she uses both
liberally in the diet of every mem-
ber of her family, as a means of
providing liberal amounts of min-
erals and vitamins.
Questions Answered
Mrs. A. B. M.—There is not the
slightest reason why a normal per-
son should not drink coffee after
middle age unless the beverage
has been expressly forbidden by a
doctor. On the contrary, many peo-
ple find both coffee and tea ex-
tremely comforting in their later
years.
