IS ORGANIZED

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The CAPT.
tal-and-labor situation was accentuat-
ed Thursday by the formation of d
vast organization Of employers to be
known as the National Industrial
Conference board.

OOO,OOO persons, proposes that indus
trial legislation shall be watched more
closely. that legislators shall be guild
ed "by public information" and that
"favoritism to labor. shall be- elimi-
nated.''
It will fight such measures as the
eight-hour law, and it believes the

vote, and, hence, legislators hereafter
need not curry favor with labor lead

an average of .3l6 and in ten of these

COST OF LIVING
IN JURY'S HAND
Chicago Diet Squad Begins
on It's Test Of
Menus
COST FORTY
CENTS PER DAY
The First Meal Removes
All Signs of
Fear

Chicago, Nov. 23.--"Can we have sec
ond helping?"
"You can eat until the supply is ex
hausted."
This question was put to DIR. John Dill
Robertson by Miss Gertrude Michigan oil
the city's diet squad as the twelve mem
bcrs sat down to breakfast yesterday
morning in an experiment aimed at the
high cost of living.
For two weeks the twelve employees
of the city health department will eat
only food prescribed by dieticans and
prepared by experts, which must not
cost more than 40 cents day for each
person, in the hope that housewives
may learn how to serve better meals
more cheaply
Here is yesterdays menu:
Breakfast-Fresh apples, liver and ba-
con, one egg muffin, butter, coffee.
Luncheon Dreamed Goldfish, baked cod
fish, corn bread butter, cocoa.
Dnner-Negetsble soup, pot roast,
sailed parsnips, cranberry sauce, rice and
raisin pudding, tea.
Just before the menu for yesterday
was announced the twelve martyrs-six
men and six women-looked at one an.
other for strength and sympathy and
shifted in their seats. But when the
commissioner made the menu announce
ment, wave of relief swept over the
chosen few. Strained faces broke into
smiles and ripple of applause greeted
the commissioner.
The diet squad were allowed forty
minutes for breakfast. Then they re-
turned to DR.. Robertsons office to be
weighed in. They were weighed Mon
day and Tuesday and in those twenty
four hours ten OF the Jury" lost a total
of ten pounds among them
The menu given out for the first day
is accompanied by recipes for its con-
struction, the idea of the school of do
nestle arts and science where the diet
squads meals are prepared, being that
the experiment should be within the
reach of housewives as well as the ex
perimenters.

one teaspoon salt, lH cups milk, three
tablespoons sugar, three tablespoons
