''the commission would receive an or
der for 1000 farmers from some part

needed. The order would be cabled to
a consul in Europe having charge of a
good agricultural section. instructing
him to wise passports for that number
of Nrmers."
He declared that there was "a food
of immigrants in Europe trying to reach
the United States. The Johnson bill
would not reduce the number Of the ar

Speculation hero regarding the cab
met now centers about the question
of whether Charles Evans Hughes Is
willing to become secretary of state.
Developments in regard to virtual
ly all cabinet places bid fair to re-
main at standstill for some weeks.

tucked away in q pigeon-hole where

"Spring Fever" Laid to Lack in Win
ter Diet

"That tired feeling" is now being
laid to lack of vegetables and fruit in
the winter diet.
Don't say you cannot have vege-
tables in the winter-cabbages and
carrots are among the vegetables
richest in lime. iron and vitamine
value at any time of year or at any
price. Don't cook them to death
thirty minutes boiling should be
enough Slice the carrots (catch
them young, if possible), boil in
small amount of water, so that none
is thrown away. and cream. They
are sweet and delicious. Serve the
cabbage scalloped with cheese
sauce, baking it fifteen minutes after
boiling for twenty to thirty. Or, bet
ter yet, serve it cold as slaw. with a
boiled or French dressing with chilli
sauce. In this way you get the max
imum vitamine and mineral values of
the lowly cabbage, which modern sci
ence has raised to most dignified
place in the dietary.

WHAT HOMESEEKERS VALUE
HIGHEST IN AN APARTMENT
Location First, Then Light, Air and
Architecture; Renters Have Be-
come UsiIitarians

Location. light; air and finish are
ings. Folks will pay for these; in
fact. they want them, and the build
ing which does not meet the demands
will not have a full house at good
rentals in normal times.
To find out what folks consider most
important when renting a home 100
tenants in several of the finest apart
ment houses in the city were asked
recently to name the features which
influenced them in renting.
Location of the building was con-
sidered of first Importance by the ma
jority of those asked. Light and air
was given second place in considering
home. Size of rooms came third, ar
rangement of the apartment was
fourth. equipment was fifth and char
acter of architecture and finish was
sixth.
The test indicated that folks demand
good construction and location above
other things. Artistic features on
which some builders have placed too
much stress were shown to he of sec
ondary Importance IN the analysis
made of house by a prospective ten
ant.
1t has been found that a building
which covers only 20 per cent of a site
will bring higher rental and be very
much more popular than a like build
ing which covers so per cent of the
site. 1t also has been found much
more profitable to use good material
than poor material. because the latter
will not stand wear nor command the
rental that a little better material will.
When building is resumed it will be
well for builders to keep these things
in mind, because tenants have learned
lot of things about houses and will
not be fooled.
