FALFURRIAS FACTS, FRIDAY MARCH 19, 1926.
Economic Problems
of The Falfurrias Home
By Miss Bertha J. Morgan.
The tact that homemaking
deals with problems has been
well agreed upon. The home-
maker contributes much to the
hum total of human comfort
and efficiency by maintaining
a home atmosphere which
modifies the complexities of
the business world. This task
demands health of body and
mind and a widening vision
which keeps a step with the
business world. Women can
only maintain her greatest
power when she can evaluate
essentials and non-essentials.
One woman said that she had
rather have a little dust on her
table than on her brain. In
other words, the homemaker
should keep herself young in
body and spirit if she would
serve her country best in the
guidance of the youth in her
home.
The share of the homemaker
in the great movement for
better health in the nation and,
hence more effective service,
can hardly be defined. Wo-
men can purchase health or a
lack of it for the members of
her family. If she demands
clean wholesome food, she is
creating a supply of good food
which will then be available
for the less intelligent home-
maker who does not know how
or what to purchase.
The problem of proper nu-
trition from a scientific stand-
point has been a recent one.
Constant use and custom have
made us so familiar with cer-
tain foods that very little at-
tention has been given to the
real value of foods.
How can the housekeeper
tell whether or not she is pro-
viding the fodd vwhich her
family needs and is getting the
best returns for the money she
spends? Unfortuately, the
price she pays for food is no
test of the nourishment it yields
to the body. Tomatoes at 5
or 10 cents apiece in the win-
ter do not build up the tissues
any more than those given by
the bushels in the summer
time. Again, appetite is not
a safe guide for feed value. A
child can be satisfied with a
sugar diet, but certainly it
would not be good for him.
Older people could eat bana-
nas and potatoes until they
felt they had eaten enough,
but the body would not be re-
ceiving all it needed.
Perhaps as easy a way as
any to select the right foods
is to group the different kinds
according to their uses in the
body, and then to be sure that
each group is represented reg-
ularly in each meal. The
housekeeper should form a
habit of thinking of the many
kinds of foods in groups.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Group 1. Without these the
diet would be lacking in miner-
al substances needed for build-
ing the body and keeping it
in good working condition, and
also lacking in acids. This
group may be called the regu-
lating group. For this reason,
emphasis is placed upon hav-
ing fruit for breakfast. _
Meat and Meat Substitutes.
Group 2. These supply body
building material. Some ol
the meat substitutes are eggs,
cheese, beans, peas, nuts ana
milk. For the children milk,
should be always c h ,o a e n in
preference to meat.
Starchy Foods.
Group 3. Starchy foods
such as cereals, potatoes, bread
macaroni. These furnish fuel
to the body. Cereals come
nearly being complete foods;
however, it is not safe to live
on cereals.
Sugar.
Group 4. Sugar such as
honey, syrup, molasses, and
candy. These give fuel to the
body as well as flavor to the
food.
Fats.
Group 5. Fat such as bacon,
butter, cream, oil. These again
are important scources of body
heat.
Think over the meals you
have planned to see whether
or not all the different mater-
ials are supplied. Is every
group represented? This
method of planning will help a
housekeeper to save time and
money, and to simplify her
meals without making them in-
compete. For example, it sug-
gests that baked beans are
substitutes for meat rather
than foods to be eaten with
meat. The serving of bread,
potatoes, and rice makes the
meal unbalanced and one Qf
these foods could be omitted
easily.
The next problem for the
housekeeper is to know how-
much of each food her family
needs. The exact amount
which each person needs will
depent upon age, sex, size, and

Sunday last Mr. Young had
) to go to Corpus Christi on
business.
As is well known Corpus is
getting to be a large and wick-
ed city and it is recorded that
several innocent Falfurrias
j men like Judge J. W. Wilson
and Justice Man pin while visit-
! ing in Corpus Christi have been
enticed away from that
straight and narrow path they
are wont to tread in Falfurrias,
much to their own sorrow and
the regret of their friends.
To shield his friend Young
from a similar fate Mr. Cone
sacrificed his Sunday’s rest,
donned his stiff bosomed shirt,
bought a half dozen ‘two-fere’
from Don Maximo Perez and
watched with eagle eye his
friend Young and protected
and worthy deed.

One day last week a man ap-

After dickering some time
Ike traded with the strange

sumated and Ike began to care-
fully inspect his new property
his suspicions were aroused
and he started out to investi-

It is possible to Calculate ex-
actly how much starch, sugar,
fat, and protein the family
needs; but, fortunately, such
exactness is not necessary in
ordinary life. If too little or
too much food is taken into the
body in one day, the body will
either use the already stored
food or store the surplus.
Habit and custom will aid
greatly .in the preparation of
correct amounts. Do not feel
there is any virture in provid-
ing more food than is necessa-
ry, for it shows poor taste.
True economy lies not only
in buying wisely but also in
making the fullest possible use
of what Is bought.
