VEGETABLES IN
HOME GARDEN
All Kinds Should Be Planted;
Food Value of Vegetables is
Necessary to Ones Diet.

The old adage, IAN apple a day
keeps the doctor away" might quite
as well have read "a carrot or an
onion a day." and probably the re-
suit would be about the same as re-
CARDS reducing the doctors bill. Vegc-
tables of all kinds are necessary in
the diet. but particularly valuable are
those available in the spring and sum
mer, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Value of Vegetables in Diet.
Without going into definite figures
it may be stated that the food value
of vegetables such as beans. peas. po-
tatoes. sweet corn, beets. and carrots,
is very high When considered from
the standpoint of the food value of
the crop that may be produced on a
given area OF land. beans, beets. and
carrots are ahead of almost any other
garden crop. One-tenth acre planted
entirely to carrots will yield about a
ton and in energy this would be equal
to about $40 pounds of average beef.
One-tenth acre of beets would also
yield about ton and be equal to $50
pounds of average beef. One-tenth
acre of lima beans would yield about

CHINESE WORK TO

Intensive Relief Efforts Are in
Progress to Help Their
Own People.

Pekin, April 4.--Never have the
Chinese people and their Government
made greater efforts to meet nation
al disaster than they are now making
to feed the hungry of the famine
stricken districts, say observers here.
When relief measures began Presi-
dent Hsu Hhih-chang gave the FIRST

The central Government is building
a highway 80 miles long in Shantung
and all victims in that district are
given employment.
Towns and villages in every part OF
Manchuria have organized relief COM
mittees. and a fund of 100000 has
been raised by the residents An en-
tire district in the famine area has
been taken over by the Manchurians
for care until the next harvest.
A loan of 100000 for relief work

BISHOP LAWRENCE OPPOS-

AND BUSINESS

Boston, April 13.-Bishop William
L Lawrence in his annual address to
the Massachusetts, diocesan convention
of the Episcopal church, today de-
plorcd the number of clergymen who
were mixing business with holy or
ders to exc out living Their number
was startling he said and the condi-
ton was one which he regarded as
symptomatic of let down in stand
ards of high devotion industry, self
sacrifice and efficiency.
The danger of a commercialized

100 pounds of dry beans. squaI to
about 22o pounds OF beef
AS sources of mineral matters and
proteins needed by the body, vege-
tables are much more valuable than
many people realize. Also they supply
roughage, which is believed to keep
the body in good working order In
the course of nature, human beings as
well as some animals seem to have
so developed that they need certain
amount of roughage, which is best
supplied by the coarser vegetable
foods. During recent years there has
been growing tendency to reduce the
roughage in cereals and some other
foods. and in order to offset this, an
extra effort should be made to supply
plenty OF vegetables and fruits. In ad-
dition, fresh vegetables are among the
best sources of what, for lack of a
better name have been called vitam-
ines.
Nobody has ever been able to stand
a vitamine up by itself, or group of
them by themselves. so that we could
look at them, but it is known that
they are present just the same because
of the action that they have upon the
human body.
Eat More Vegetables.
Too much can not be said in favor
of larger proportion of vegetables
in the diet of the American people.
The English are considered a nation
of meat eaters, but it has been shown
that Americans eat more meat per
capita than do the English. A certain
amount of meat in the diet is highly
desirable, but this hould always be
balanced by a sufficient supply of
vegetables.
