DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DIX. T. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist
APPLES.

The apple has been justly call
ed the queen of fruits. About IS
per cent. is water, 10 per cent.
sugar, one half of one per cent.
aIbumen, and one-half of one per
cent. mineral. These solids are
very fully assimiIated when the
fruit is eaten ripe in its natural
state, uncooked; cooking in
jures them. 1t contains all the
minerals except chlorine, and
while it alone would not sup
port life, it is natural med-
cintA its malc Scid being espe-
ciaIIY good for liver and stom-
ach. II is best eaten in the
T1orning alone or with other
fruits, or with vegetables, not
with meat, cereals or milk or
even bread. The acid of the
apple, in common with that of
tomato and all other acid fruits,
forms a bad chemical combina-
ton with starch.

Washington. April 2e-Ablaze with light from her saloons and staterooms, the giant White Star Liner Titanic dashed full speed te her destruction according ta Ernest Gill; a donkey en- gineman on the steamship Californian, who testified today before the senate committee Investigating the disaster. He said that Captain Stanley Lord or the Californian. refused later to go to the aid of the Titanic, the rockets from which could be plainly seen This Captain Lord denied. but both he and his wireless operator acknowledged having seen rockets. Their ship, they said. vas fast in the ice.
 Gill Sticks to His Charges.
 Gill submitted an affidavit to the committee and when sworn and put on the stand stuck to his charges against the captain of the Californian. He said he was standing on the deck late Sunday night when he sighted a great ship sweeping along at top speed about ten miles off. He did not know it was the Titanic but he made out readily that lt was not freight er or a small vessel because of the manner in which 1t was Illuminated.
 Saw the Distress Rockets.
 Some time later he saw distress rockets on the horizon. He says the captain was appraised of these sig nals. but made no effort to get up steam and go to the rescue. The Californian was drifting with the foe. So indignant did he become, Gill said, that he endeavored to recruit a com mittee of protest from among the crew but the men failed him.
 
 Captain Makes Sweeping Denial.
 Captain Lord entered a sweeping denial of Gills accusations and read from the Californian's log to support his contention, but Cyril Evans, the Californian's wireless operator, testi- fled tO hearing much talk among the crew who were critical of the captain $ course. Gill, he said, told him he ex- pected tO get $500 for his story when the ship reached Boston.
 Warned Titanic of Ice.
 Evans testified to having warned the Titanic. only a short time before the great vessel dashed into the berg, that the sea was crowded with ice, The Titauics operators, he said. were st the time working with the wireless station at Cape Race and they told him to shut up and keep out. With in Q half hour the pride of the sea was sinking.
 Reforms In Wireless Rooms.
 lt appeared today that one reform which is certain t0 spring from the present investigation will be enforced in the wireless rooms of ships enter Ing or leaving American ports. This concerns lack of authority over the operators. pay. hours and freedom from responsibility, as brought out by the testimony to date. Senator Smith its chairman. announced publicly to- day that such legislation was inevit- able.

CAPTAIN STANLEY LORD
Says CaIifornian's Operator Was Told
 to "Shut Up" or Keep Out"

Captain Stanley Lord of the CalifOr- nian then took the stand He said he had followed the sea for 20 years. He brought the log of the Californian with him from Boston and read from the record. The entries included several references to icebergs.
 Did you try to get into cOmmunica- tion with the Titanic on Sunday night?' asked Senator Smith.
 "Yes, sir, about 1915 that night, ships time. We told him we were sur rounded by ice and had stopped"
 Did the Titanic acknowledge that messageT'
 ''Yes, sir. she told us to Shut up or Keep out or something like that
 Did you have further cOmmunica- ton with the Titanic that evening?' "Not at all" "Did the Titanic have further com munication with you?"
 Mot at all"
 Got e. D. O. Call from Virginian.
 "How far were the Californian and the Titanic apart when you sent your message to the Titanic telling her you were blocked in the ice?'
 From the position we had of the Titanic we were about 19 1-2 miles apart"
 Did the Californian receive the Ti- tanics C. Q. D.. call?"
 ''No,7 said the captain, "but we got it from the Virginian about 6 o'clock the morning of the 18th" What is the speed of the CaIifor- niang'
 About Il knots ordinarily" said the captain. We made 13 1-2 when we were going to the Titanic
 Were you under full speed then? ?"
 "We were driving all we could
 When you told the Titanic you were surrounded by ice, how badly were you surrounded2"
 The witness said the field was about 25 miles long and several miles wide The Californian. he said, was about a quarter mile from the edge of the foe.
 What did youN notify the Titanic for?''
 As a matter of courtesy entirely. l didn't know where she was As a mat ter of fact I thought she was IS miles south of us."
 Do you know anything regarding the Titanic disaster of your own knowledge"
 Nothing"
 Was the Titanic beyond your range of vision 2"
 Yes, 19 1-2 or 20 miles away"
 Senator Smith asked the witness how long it took the Californian to go to the scene of the Titanic disaster He read from the lD.. n show that at o'clock she started for the scene cleared the thick ice an hour later and under full steam drew alongside the Carpathia at 8.30.
 Reports of Presence of Ice.
 Captain Lord said he was on the bridge himself until I0.S0 Sunday night and that the watch was doubled.
 We had reports two or three days before of the presence of ice ahead he said, "and we took precautions"
 From whom did you receive these reports?'
 Captain Barr of the Carona gave us a report on April 1S, the day be- fore said Captain Lord
 wv hat further adyices?" 'Barr's message told us that west bound steamers reported field ice on the 18th. That was two days before. What was the next warning?'
 "The Parisian was far ahead of us, l asked the Parisian April 14 in the daylight, and she said she had passed three large icebergs. The New Am sterdam also warned us that on April g she had pasesd icebergs."
