The piece argues Congress bears blame for slow recovery and rising unemployment while urging states to reclaim fiscal responsibility. It criticizes federal spending, six billion relief funding, and Hoover era policies, warning that Washington overreach harms local accountability and long-term economic health.
A brief biblical quotation notes that the righteous perish and are taken away from the evil to come, and that they shall enter into peace. The passage emphasizes mercy and divine transition beyond worldly concern.
A reflective note on holiness urges love for God with all heart and neighbor, stating no secret beyond this commandment and recognizing each person as a neighbor in need of regard. The piece centers on universal Christian love as the core path to holiness.
C Houston Goudiss argues against food fads and false beliefs in a guide to rational eating. He debunks claims that fish is a brain food or celery a nerve tonic and notes lettuce provides minerals but no narcotic sleep aid. Water with meals aids digestion, raw fruits can be as digestible as cooked, and white bread is not inherently inferior to whole wheat when balanced by other nutrients.
Science discredits common beliefs about vegetables. Deep green lettuce holds more vitamins and bean snaps show storage conditions rather than quality. The message urges rethinking which vegetables to buy and eat based on nutrition rather than color or texture.
A brief piece rejects superstition about fruit causing rheumatism from acidity and notes most fruits leave an alkaline ash after digestion. It also debunks the claim that fruit acids curdle milk, explaining that stomach acid curdles milk regardless.
The article warns that fad diets are more damaging than isolated food flaws. It argues that individuals peddling diet theories prey on homemakers seeking dietary guidance, promoting unbalanced eating plans.
A fad diet claims starches and proteins cannot be digested together. Medical authorities denounce the theory, and a leading physician has shown clinically that starches and proteins do not interfere with digestion in the stomach. The piece questions the diet’s validity and emphasizes scientific evidence.
A noted investigator tested milk intake by feeding a man a pint in 10 seconds and then in 10 minutes. Half an hour later stomach contents were checked. The findings showed the milk digested similarly in both scenarios, challenging the idea that slow sipping aids digestion.
The article notes that few foods are pure in protein or carbohydrate, most contain varying amounts of protein, carbohydrate and fat. Dried peas beans and whole grain cereals carry substantial starch and protein together.
Fasting is promoted by fadists as detox or housecleaning but may harm health by causing buildup of incomplete fat oxidation products and acidosis. Homemakers should discard superstitions and rely on established food facts to nourish their families and ensure wellbeing.
The notes discuss energy from light corn syrup versus iron in dark syrup, minerals in pure molasses, and protein from nuts as a meat substitute. It cautions that nuts cannot replace milk and eggs for minerals and vitamins, emphasizing milk and eggs as primary sources.
