among rural and small-town women in Northern
U.S. states. Postcards, in the form of government
postal cards and privately printed souvenir cards,
became very popular as a result of the Columbian
Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, after postcards featuring buildings were distributed at the
fair. In 1908, more than 677 million postcards
were mailed. The “white border” era, named for
obvious reasons, lasted from about 1916 to 1930.
Linen postcards were produced in great quantity
from 1931 to 1959.

“One of the better known
linen era postcard
was the “large letter linen”.
The card design featured a
large letter spelling of a state
or place with smaller photos
inside the letters.”

Joseph Morgan and Gus Trost before deciding
on the Trowbridge property. Mr. Trost was
entrusted with drawing up plans for the new
building. The school opened its doors to students
in September 1923.

Pueblo and where the Ysleta Mission was founded.

Despite the name, linen postcards were not produced on a linen fabric, but used newer printing
processes that used an inexpensive card stock

with a pattern which resembled linen. The face
of the cards is distinguished by a textured cloth
appearance which makes them easily recognizable. The reverse of the card is smooth, like earlier postcards. The rag content in the card stock
allowed a much more colorful and vibrant image
to be printed than the earlier “white border” style.
Due to the inexpensiv e production and bright realistic images they became popular. One of the better known linen era postcard manufacturers was

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.

DON’T ASSUME! READ THE LABEL. IT’S YOUR HEALTH.

We Are What We Eat

work for you is to look at the entire label. If you focus on only one part, like
calories or vitamins,
you may not be getting the full story, like
how much sugar or fat
is in the product.
Serving Size: Always
start with the serving
size amount. That’s
because all the information on the rest of
the label — from calories to vitamins — is
based on that amount.
The label will also
list how many servings are in the package. Even things that
seem like they’d be a
single serving, such
as a bottle of juice or
packet of chips, may
contain more than one
serving. If you eat or
drink the whole thing,
you’re getting more
vitamins and minerals
but you’re also getting
way more calories,
sugar, fat, and other
stuff that you might
not want.
Calories: A calorie is
a way to measure how
much energy a food
provides to your body. The number on
the food label shows how many calories are in one serving of that food..
The calories from fat number tells you
how many calories in that serving come
from fat. For most people, about 30% of
all the calories they eat in a day should
come from fat. So if you eat 2,000 calories a day, about 600 of these calories
should come from fat.

Sodium: Small amounts of sodium

NHHSSURSHUERG\ÁXLGEDODQFH6RGLXP
also helps the body transmit electrical
signals through nerves. But too much
sodium can increase water retention
and blood pressure
in people who are
sensitive to it.
Fiber: is not digested and helps
keep your digestive
system healthy. Fiber can also help
reduce cholesterol
levels. Best of all,
ÀEHUKDVQRFDORULHV
and it can help you
feel full. So check
the label and pick
foods that have at
OHDVWJUDPVRIÀ
ber per serving.

Percentage Daily values: These per-

centages show the amounts of nutrients
an average person will get from eating
one serving of that food. For the purposes of food labels,
the government chose
an “average” person
as someone who needs
2,000 calories a day.
So if the label on a
particular food shows
it provides 25% of vitamin D, that 25% is
for a person who eats
2,000 calories a day.
Fat: Total fat shows
how much fat is in
a single serving of
food. Although eating
too much fat can lead
to obesity and health
problems, our bodies
do need some fat every day. Fats are an
important source of
energy and provide insulation and cushioning for the skin, bones,
and internal organs.
Fat also distributes
and helps the body
store certain vitamins.
Cholesterol: it’s important to production of vitamin D and
some hormones, and
to building many other substances in the
body. The liver manufactures most of
the cholesterol a person needs, but cholesterol is also found in the foods we
eat. Blood cholesterol comes in two
major types: HDL (the “good” kind)
and LDL (the “bad” kind). Too much
LDL cholesterol in a person’s blood increases the risk of heart disease.
Total Carbohydrates: The best sources of carbohydrates are fruits and vegetables, along with whole-grain
foods like cereals, breads, pasta, and brown rice. Most of
your daily calorie intake should
come from carbohydrates.

Vitamins and Minerals: It
goes without saying that you
want to choose foods that are
high in a variety of vitamins
and minerals. The FDA requires
food manufacturers to include
information about vitamin A,
vitamin C, calcium and iron.
Protein: Most of the body, including muscles, skin, and the
immune system, is made up of protein.
If the body doesn’t get enough fat and
carbohydrates, it can use protein for energy. So be sure the foods you eat give
you some protein. -End
