cross-fire of oratorical projectiles,

used had violated the senate's rules
by imputing to senators conduct un-
worthy and unbecoming.
The declaration to which formal
objection was taken was made by
Senator McCumber, republican,
North Dakota, in the course of
heated exchange with Senator Reed,
democrat, Missouri. and had to do
with charges that Japan was acting
in bad faith in the promise of her
statesmen to return Shantung PROV

war;" said the North Dakota sena-

prefer to consider it as our enemy.
Germany seems to be more an OBJ

that the language used had been
unparliamentary.
When he had quieted the dispu-
tants, Senator Ball, republican,
Delaware. temporarily presiding,
thumbed through senate rule book

his objection, whereupon Senator

foods OF the same general kind.
Meals like these could be prepared
from the following daily rood supply:
one and a half pints milk. one egg.
Tour ounces flour or other cereal (dry
weight. one ounce or two level table
spoons sugar or its equivalent in other
sweets, one ounce or two cubic inches
or two level tablespoons of butter or
one half cup OF ream eight to ~
ounces vegetables or fruits, fresh

dun sized tthree-fourths ounce) slices
Of bread or four ounce of bread and
about n cup Of cooked cereal,
jelly can be used In place of the sugar
or very finely chopped dried fruits,
such as ~raisins, dates and figs, may
be used to give sweetness.
Leaf vegetables, such as lettuce and
spinach, are particularly valuable be-
cause of the vitamins or the growth
producing substances they supply. One
good way TO serve them is to chop
them fine. cook them in a little water
and make a soup by adding them to
hot milk. Lettuce finely chopped can
be mixed with butter to make a sand
witch filling.
The daily allowance given above in
sures plenty Of protein, vitamins. lime,
iron and other mineral substances. and
also enough fuel for the average child.
II more food is desired, it can safely
be furnished In the form OF bread or
other cereal food, which Is often the
cheapest item on the bill OF fare.
