negro TROOPS AGAIN
OBJECT OF PROTESTS
War Department Receives Requests
for Their Removal in South.

Additional protests were received at
the War Department yesterday from
Southern cities where negro troops
are quartered. asking their removal.
Texas, In petitions to the President
and the War Department, presented
by the Congressional delegation here
asked the removal of all negro troops
from that State and specifically the
removal of company of negro Ma
tional Guardsmen from Illinois, now at
Houston, the scene OF the recent riots.
This company is preparing the ground
for an entire regiment of Illinois black
Guardsmen.
''The question is still open" was all
Mr.. Baker would say, regarding the
quartering of negro troops in the
South. 1t is known, however, that
this is one OF the problems which is
causing the War Department the
greatest worry at this time.
Secretary Baker today received dis
patch from Brig. Gen. James Parker,
announcing that the court martial of
the thirty-four negro infantrymen in
volved in the Houston riots was getting
under way and would proceed rapid
ly. The telegram added that the sit
uation in Houston was now quiet and
that the people seemed satisfied to
have the negroes tried under martial
law, although at first they had de-
manded their return for trial for MUIR
der by the civil courts.

Women Everywhere
Use Lemon Juice
To Beautify Skin

The beauty lotion which is becoming 6
SO popular throughout the country is
easily prepared by any one, and a
whole quarter pint of ii doesn't cost
any more than a small jar of the
common, ordinary cold creams.
Add the Juice of two fresh lemons to
three ounces of orchard white and
shake well in a bottle. Strain the
lemon juice two or three times
through a fine cloth so no pulp gets
into the lotion. then ii will keep fresh
for months. Regardless of what price
you pay or how highly advertised,
there is nothing else really more
meritorious in beautifylng, softening
and clearing the skin. AS a tan and
blemish remover, also to remove OIL
mess and sallowness, lemon juice has
no rival. Massage 1t into the face,
neck, and arms once or twice each
day, and just see IL IL doesn't bring
out the roses and hidden beautyi
Lemons have always been used to
bleach the skin, but pure lemon Juice
Is too highly acid, therefore should
never be used except in this man
ner.
If properly prepared, this sweetly
fragrant. lotion will speak for itself.
Any drug store VIII supply the three
ounces Of orchard white at very little
cost, and the grocer will supply the

FOODS FOR LITTLE CHILDREN.

Food for little children should be
OF the plainest variety simply pre-
pared and tastily served. The healthy
growth and mental development de-
pend not only upon the character OF
food but upon proper combinations
for as the child grows he requires the
gradual addition to his menu OF such
articles OF diet as the system needs to
build up it's various tissues. MIX
forms the bulk of childs diet up to
the age of 6. At least quart day
should be consumed. This can be di-
vlded as a drink, as a dressing on
cereals or fruit apd in puddings and
custards 1t should not be considered
in the light of a beverage and treated
as such. that is to be taken or re-
jected at the will of the child.
Mix is a valuable article of food,
containing besides its content of but
ter, milk sugar and other materials
for the making of bone, teeth and
muscles, a substance which aids the
body to assimiIate other foods. so that
in a rational dietary for a child. milk
must occupy a high position. Children
must be cautioned not to drink milk
hastily. as they would water. in other
this depends its digestibility.
MIX contains much lime but little
iron. therefore it is essential that the
growing child should have vegetables
such as spinach and other greens
and eggs. the yolks of which are rich
in iron. Cocoa is a pleasant variety
for serving milk as a drink, and the
combination of milk with a green
vegetable as soup, proves highly
acceptable to the palate of most chill
dren. These are made from cooked
vegetables, mashed or strained. The
vegetable may be asparagus, peas,
beans of various kinds, celery, pota-
toes, turnips, carrots, spinach. kale.
chard, beet greens, parsnips, cress,
lettuce, caulifiower. The soup is sim
ply made by adding two-thirds of n
cupful of mashed or strained vege-
table pulp to two cupfuls of milk. one
tablespoonful of -four, one tablespoon
full of butter and enough salt to sea-
son. Now to be suitably fed a child
should receive each day at least one
food from each of the following
groups: ]. Milk and dishes made of
milk; meat. fish,, poultry, eggs and
meat substitutes. {. Bread and other
cereal foods. 8. Butter and other
wholesome fats. 4. Vegetables and
fruits. 5. Simple sweets.
Some parents give their children
too much meat, others not enough;
so also with eggs. When meat is
not employed. milk and eggs form a
substitutes; other foods that may re-
place the protein value of meat are
beans, peas, lentils and cowpeas;
these are difficult for very young
children to digest, unless cooked to
a mush, the skins removed, the pulp
strained and then seasoned with but
ter, table oil or meat Juice or broth.
1t is better to give child very little
meat. and this of the tenderest and
choicest cuts, either broiled or
roasted, Better still is to scrapple
the meat and so remove all the
fibrous matter. Older children whose
grinders are through should be
taught how to chew their food
thoroughly before swallowing 1t.
Every day some fruit is essential to
a proper diet, either juices or pulp
of cooked fruit, baked apples. Pears
and prunes.

NORRIS TELLS H. C.L.
STORY To SENATE
Nebraskan Predicts Harder Times
Unless Something Is Done.

Personal stories of the sadness
caused by the high cost of living

tanning ten pounds of sugar, an intel
ligent, well-bred woman said to her:
Excuse me, but how can you get
enough money to buy ten pounds OF
sugar now. and how can you pay
cash for 1t. l have bought just two
pounds. My husband gets $500 a
year. We could always live on it un-
til now. But II one of our five chill
dren were Ill i believe we would be
