NUTS FOR LUNCH
A Happy Scientific Suggestion for
Puzzled Mothers.

Puzzled MotherS.
A statements by government ex-
pert concerning food yaule of nuts is
boon to mothers who must provide
children with lunches to take to
school. According to this expert one
pound of nut kernels is equal in food
value to one pound of wheat flour. and,
generally speaking, nuts are not in
digestible. If they appear so, it is
because they are eaten either ir~
regularly between meals or topping
heavy meal when the stomach is not
in proper condition to handle any
hearty food. Used as a substitute for
other food they give no bad results
under ordinary circumstances.
Furthermore, the housewife will re-
fleet, nuts as food are valuable from
the fact that they require no cooking
Also, they are easily carried and
children like them-two points of inn
portance to the conscientious mother,
who, putting up school lunches, finds
commonly that her dietary theories
require somtheing like a steam boiler
and a horse and wagon to complete
the operation; then, when this health
food is laboriously compounded and
duly conveyed to little Johnny, for
sooth! he loathes it and slyly sub
stitutes green cucumber pickles and
cream puffs purchased at the lunch
counter just around the corner ION
school,
All healthy children will eat nuts,
especially peanuts, which the gC Germ
ment experts assures us are so nu-
tritious that one quart is equal in food
value to a pound of rump steak. The
money cost is cents. The tired
mother, therefore. who endeavors
strenuously to keep up with duty as
defined by modern science for the
household may start her boys and
girls off to school with a generous bag
of peanuts each morning and revel in
the unaccustomed JOY of knowing that
thus in one particular has she fully
satisfied the desire of human nature
and the authority of expert opinion.

Washington, Dec. 1l.-The first
speech in opposition to the ship sub
sidy bill in the senate was delivered
by Senator Clay (dem, Ga.O one OF
the minority members of the commit.
tee ON commerce which reported it
to the senate. He is recognized as
one of the most vigorous opponents of
the bill and during nearly two hours
was accorded close attention by sona-
tors ON both sides of the chamber.
Senator Hanna expects to reply to
Senator Clay's argument and gave
him a particularly attentive hearing.
In the early part of the session a live
ly collQuoy was preCipitated over the
reference to the committee of the
Grout OlComargarine bill, just passed
by the house of representatives. 1t
finally went to the committee on agri.
culture. This is a victory for the
friends OF the bill.
In antogonizing the subsidy bill Sen
ator Clay said the one definite thing
that was known about the operation
of the proposed legislation was that it
would take from the treasury of the
United States 100000 a year for a
period of twenty years and donate that
vast sum to the ship owners carrying
the foreign trade of this country. In
other words, zone mans business is to
be heavily taxed in order to advance
and to make more profitable the pri-
waite business of another citizen"
The senator pointed out that an ad.
ditioual amount was paid owners of
vessels OF greater speed. regardless Of
freight capacity. He said that the
subsidy to be given vessels up to -
knots, which are really our great
freight carries. is only ~ cents per
gross ton while the subsidy given to
a fast steamer, which carries chiefly
passengers and fine manufactured
good is $40 cents per ton for 81
knot ship"
Thus it would appear, he contended.
that the l2-kuot vessel which really
carried the products of the country.
would receive only little more than
ono-third of the subsidy paid TO the
fast passenger steamers. He elaborat.
ed what he deemed to be the Unjust.
