Advocates of nationwide abi-

s..loring the Webb-Kenyon act con-
ti+utional, being followed by the
.i+od States senate's vote to make
district of Columbia, including

he bill already Endorsed by the SEN
e by a vote of 55 to 80.
It is generally admitted by the
vets" as well as the "drys" that the
,easure will pass the lower branch
congress by a two-thirds vote if
y members are brought face to face
IN the question. The only hope the
rti.prohibitionists have is that the
strict of Columbia committee, gen.
Eallv regarded as "wet," will keep

lie from the rules committee, fore
the district committee to report
measure in the house. 1t is as

Housewives Of Fl Paso and the sur
rounding territory should use more
poultry, and. when possible. fish and
sea tOod in place OF beef mutton and
pork Do not use either beef mutton
or pork more than once daily. and
then serve smaller portions. Use all
left over meat Use soups more free
" Use beans; they have nearly the
same food value as meat
Use Butter For Riddles.
Dairy butter has food values vital
to children. and therefore should be
there are children. As little butter as
possible should be used in cooking.
however The use Of friend foods
should be reduced TO save lard and
other fats. The housewife should use
vegetable oils whenever possible, sucn
as olive and cOttOnseed oil
The importance Of saving soap IS I
not realized generally. Soap con- B
tains fat and glycerine necessary in ]
the making Of explosives.
Use syruPs for sugar.
Syrups should be used as a sub I
stitute for sugar. but the housewife /
should not stint in the use OF sugar ]
when preserving fruits and jams. Less I
candy and sweetened drinks should be I
used. The use OF vegetables and \
fruits should be increased. using them /

Last OF all, as little coal as pos
