REPUBLICAN DIET

w HEN Republican periodicals be-

~ omy in housekeeping we will
heed the old warning and beware of
the Greeks. even when they are bring
ing gifts of good advice. 1.-THE Sunny
Side of Economy" is a characteristic
Republican article, adapted for hard
times and produced by them. The
writer of 1t. in a Los Angeles Sunday
paper attempted to show that a family
of three could be fed by an expenditure
of four dollars a week. On investiga-
ton 1t appears the diet of such fam
lily consists mainly of eliminattons.
Learn to get along without meat, cof-
fee or tea, eat as little bread as pos
sible. adapt your tastes and your
stomach to olive oil, cottonseed oil,
cheese, cereals, sugar, rice, Italian
paste, fresh fruit and vegetables and
use them in homeopathic doses, and
you may be happy yet, you bet. You
will forget all about indigestion. for
there will be nothing to indigest, or,
for that matter, to digest. The less
you eat the fatter you will grow, espe-
cially If you are Of a perverse and
obstinate disposition, and by the time
you have disciplined yourself to a diet
of one bean per day, washed down by
a teaspoonful of olive oil, you will be
so refined and ethereal that you will
want to be an angel and with the
angels stand. And you surely will, If
you continue to dematerialize your
diet along the vanishing lines tenuously
suggested by our Republican contem-
porary.

evidence of interference in American
politics as the sackville-West letter,

Bryce has attained to the desired end
adroitly and discreetly, while Sack
ville-west blundered. Bryce is celt

City Prosecutor Woolwine's work in
suppressing the form of gambling prac-
ticed in bucketshops has been most
effective. A sentence of $500 fine and
ninety days in Jail will discourage
bucketshop keepers, who will realize
that in Los Angeles the game is not
worth the candle. at least, not as long
as the city prosecutor is a man named
Thomas L. Woolwine.
