In all likelihood Congressman l. l..

Irvine l.. Lenroot, 1900; Thompson
$4,000; Davies, 55,11O; Mccarthy
1920, and Berger, 37,361.
Lenroot's majority, from these fig

The western and northwestern
counties, in which it is expected Len
root pooled most heavily, have not yet
made complete returns, while the
counties in which Thompson counted
on making his strongest showing
have turned in their complete, but I'M
official returns.
Davies vote up to this time is 55,-
ITO, while McCarthy's total is only
1920, giving the former trade COM
missioner a majority Of Al $50.
From the figures obtained so far, the
combined vote of Lenroot, Thompson

is sensible, as few people are hungry
in the morning and hearty breakfast
is unwiSe. 1t is better far to par
take of a meal that has not overtaxed
the cook to prepare or the individual
to digest. "No dinner however beau

can ever atone, in the memory of man,
for the wild and untamed morning
which so often prevails in the Amer

Corn meal mush 'ried in little fat
is going to be very popular among our
patriotic families, it is most nOurish-
ing, and will take the place of bread
in large measure. By adding chop
ped meat to the mush before
molding 1t to cut in slices, it becomes
still more valuable as food.
There is no reason that the morn
ing meal should not be varied in it's
menu, as there are countless ways of
serving the common things in uncom-
mon ways. A hot bread will take the
place of the toast, waffles and griddle
