proper balance.
The amount of food to be taken by
individuals differs so greatly that
there is no fixed rule that one may fol-
low. Age, climate, physical condition
as well as occupation are important
factors in determining the amount to
serve, but it is safe to say that in the
average dietary we may cut out one
third of the food we daily consume,
masticate the two-thirds twice as long
as is the habit and great benefit viii

vice is only given to the well padded
individual; those who are thin are so
because even If good eaters, the food
is not assimilated.
When serving a heavy main dish
with the accompanying vegetable or
two, the dessert should be light, one
easy of digestion and with little bulk.
If the main part of the meal is light,
not preceded by cream soup, let the
dessert be richer one.
The generous use of milk in desserts
will give a better balance to the din
ner In which only small amount or

meals more milk may be used as well

While it must be admitted that
there are hundreds of thousands
among the rank and file of the Re-
publican party who are both liberal
and progressive in their American
ism. the attitude assumed by the
leadership of that party towards the
league covenant shows unmistakably
that the bosses who dominate and
control that organization are just as
reactionary, just as shortsighted, and
Just as much swayed by the fetish of
partisanship as they were in 1912
when their bourbonism was so fore
IDLY denounced by Theodore Roose-
welt.
The same standpat element which
defeated the party of Lincoln and Nc
Kinley in two presidential campaigns
is again at the helm, and are now
steering a course that spells certain
political defeat and means the alien
alton of the large progressive element
who still adhere to the party.
Paradoxical as it may seem, it is
nevertheless. true, that the present
leaders who have shown the most re-
dictionary spirit in their opposition to
| the League of Nations covenant, were
many of them formerly active in the
progressive faction of the party. Sen
ators Poindexter, Borah and Johnson
are if anything more bitterly opposed
to the league covenant than any
other members of the senate.
After due consideration of the
noise generated by these gentlemen
in their fight on the league. the ques-
ton is, what has been brought forth
| in the form of logical argument that
can be accepted by the average man
wishing TO arrive at the truth and
| capable of deduction and analysis?
| What is there in their opposition that
will appeal to the thoughtful people
| for a solution of the grave problems
that have followed in the wake of the
great war, problems not only eco
nomic and political but which vitality
affect the future peace of the world?

1T would involve the shutting down of
countless industries and the throwing out of
employment of large part of the workers
of the country. 1t would involve stopping
the operations of railroads. electric light and
gas plants, street railway lines and other
public utilities and the shipping to and from
this country, thus preventing our giving aid
to the allied countries with supplies which
they so seriously need.
''The country is confronted with this
strike at time when the war itself is still
fact, when the world is still in suspense after
negotiations for peace, when our troops are
still being transported and when their means
of transport is in urgent need Of fuel.
From whatever angle the subject may be
viewed, it is fact that such strike in such
circumstances would be the most far reach
ing ever presented in this country to limit
the facilities of production and distribution
of the necessities of life and thus indirectly
to restrict the production and distribution
of all the necessaries of life.

broad enough to forget his party
when the welfare of his country was
at stake. Not one of them has been
able to offer anything better to take
the place of the covenant they have
been so anxious to vitiate or to de-
