5. NUTRITION.
Last year when dealing with this subject I introduced to your notice the
discussion which was going on as to the amount of first-class proteins which is
necessary for maintaining health and strength and what was more important,
that I would like to see that people—anyhow those who cannot afford it—are not
inveigled by wonderful advertisements to buy at enhanced prices proprietary foods
which only represent the same food value as ordinary foods which can be bought
for a relatively small amount of money.
