Food and Health.

The Ministry of Health states, a British wireless message reports, that great interest in the “Fitter Britain” exhibit at the Glasgow exhibition continues to be shown by visitors. In particular models, specimen meals and other facts about food which are displayed in the food section led to a great many inquiries, and the Ministry has issued a booklet entitled "Food and Health,’'- in which it sets forth the principles of good nutrition and reproduces the specimen meals shown in the exhibit with explanatory notes, and deals with the basic principles of cooking and catering.

Besieged by House-Hunters. No fewer than 149 inquirers descended upon Mr T. Horton, New Plymouth, when it became known recently that his five-roomed house in Wallace place was to let. While he was interviewing some at the front door of his house in Victoria road others arrived at the back door, and both that day and next persons in a wide variety of occupations sought him out. At one telephone calls were so numerous that he had to pay someone to answer them. After hearing many accounts of prolonged and persistent search for houses, Mr Horton is convinced there really is an acute shortage at New Plymouth.
