PRESIDENT WILL TEST
new TYPE OF BUTTER
White House Shows Interest in RE
duced Cost" Fare.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

In it and you can't tell the difference be-
tween this butter and the select cream
cry"
1t Is called nut margarine and is made
OF cocoanut and peanut OIL 1t is said to
be far more nourishisg than the butter
which costs so cents and more a pound,
and more desirable since II contains only
vegetable fats, while the butter now
used is made of animal fats. Mrs. Nc
Clary has come here to show people how
to live more cheaply and make them use
their heads in eating.
THE President told me that he believed
that this nation overeats. That expresses
our effort exactly. People do eat entirely
too much and further, they eat without
knowledge" Mrs. McCIary explained.
The menu given the President is similar
to the one used in the successful expert
ment now being conducted with twelve
men in the New York Police Training
School, however. that squad was fed
$500 calories, or heat units, a day. while
the President will only eat 5000 calories
by following his menu.
Mrs. McClary is herself a dietician.
She has been living on 25-cent menus for
some time, and one glance at her con-
vinces one that she is well fed and that
she is the picture of health. 1t matters
not how busy her day may be, she does
ont consider it complete without taking a
five-mile walk some time before retiring.

before the great offensives are attempted

MES from a blind mans eyes has been
outdone. And right here in Washing

This fellow steals the pennies that
are intended for glass eyes for the
blind soldiers of Europe. He cut the

coins that had been deposited there by
sympathetic patrons.
A man, believed to be the same one,

as a friend arrived. Watching his op-

and dropped the box on the sidewalk.
The boxes are placed about the city
by the Permnanet Blind Relief War
Fund for Soldiers and Sailors.

BARITONE and 'CELLIST
IN Charming CONCERT
Louis Graveure and Beatrice Harrison
Appear at National.

Louis Graveure. barytone, and Beat
rice Harrison, 'cellist bowed to a
large audience at the National Theater
yesterday. as the sixth concert attrac-
tion of T. Arthur Smiths "ten-star'
series. The honors were evenly d.
vided by the artists
Graveure scored heavily with his
American songs, which can hardly be
used as criteria of his real excellence,
but in the more classical passages OF
Schubert's "Orpheus" the barytone was
nothing less than splendid. The Sc
lection Afforded a rather wide vocal
field, and the artist utilized his advan-
tages with consummate skill In the
sprightlier melody of Hugo Wolf's
'Mausfallen-Spruch Graveure re-
vealed a tense. expressive animation
that carried him well into an encore
! In Brahms "Nicht Mehr zu Dir zu
Gehen" he was fair; in the not spe-
cially adaptable Nit Elm Wasserlilie'
(Grieg) he was good; but in the
French song, Petite Main" (Saint-
Saens) he displayed the charming per-
sonality that characterized his Brahms
selection.
Miss Harrison, as dainty and queenly
a little concert princess as has graced
the National stage for months, scored
her biggest hit probably in the Haydn
Piatti ''Minuet." There was a Spanish
dance, Vito" in which she appeared
to unusual advantage. These are but
highlights of her repertoire, however
as her entire performance was more
than creditable.
Unusual acknowledgment must go to
Frank Bfbb, at the piano. 1t is ex-
traordinary to find so excellent and
sympathetic a precision. unaccompan-
led by tiresome Temperament" Mr.
Smith must likewise be Congratulated
upon his unusual liberality with pro-
gram space, which gave an added zest
to the concert E. F. D.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT
No foolishness! Lift your corns
and calIuses off with
fingers.

Pain? No, none at all,
Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns
or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly
be lifted right out with the fingers
| If you will apply directly upon the
corn a few drops Of freezone says a
Cincinnati authority.
j 1t is claimed that a small cost one
can get a quarter of an ounce OF
freezone at any drug store, which is
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not inflame or
even irritate the surrounding tissue
while applying it or afterwards.

FNLEY'S DEATH WILL
NOT AFFECT HOUSE

Democratic leaders asserted last night
that the vacancy in the House caused
by the death yesterday of Representative
David E. Finley. of South Carolina,
would not affect the organization of the
next House.
The seat wifi be filled at a special cleo
ton to be held within thirty days, ac-
cording to the South Carolina delegation.
The death of Representative Finley
opened up an interesting question with
regard to the organization of the Sixty
fifth Congress. With the vote very close,
the death of a Democratic member OF
Congress in a State governed by a Re
publican governor might prevent a Dem
ocratIc majority. since it was asserted
there Is nothing mandatory in the statute
that authorizes governors to call special
election to fill vacancies in Congress
