Brain workers and persons in sedeniary
occupations should eat substantial
breakfast but a light lunch, according to
physicians in forty-six states whose opin-
ions were obtained by The Medical Re-
view of Reviews. Sevcnty-ihrcc per cent
of the physicians favored hearty break
fast, l3 per cent opposed ii and II per
cent we're neutral.
Eleven doctors advised heavy break
fast because the digestive apparatus is at
its best after nights sleep. Commits
sioner of Health Herman ~ Bundesen
of Chicago said that the system, like a
furnace, is low on fuel in the morning
and therefore a gOod-sized meal is justi-
fed. Fifty-ive physicians favor the hear

he did not have an opportunity to put a
profit on the cost price, made it an inse'

explained that the rent OF the renters

the renter had 10 scrapc about and sell
his grain and stock to make enough mon

the control of the market price.

MILLSPAUGH'S BILL
PLAN FAR INTO FUTURE.

COMETIMES. when new member
comes to Congress and doesn't put
across some big piece OF legislation
for his home district, people think
he didn't fit and the constituents
often unjustly retire him. Just to
show that sometimes a new member
starts some real legislation Of vital
and far-reachlng value to his people
the actual achievement Of which can-
not ba seen for several years-let's
cite the case of Representative Frank
c Millspaugh, of Missouri. Several
bills which he has been working on
look far into the future and not for
the selfish present, if he were merely
seeking reelection.
He is the author Of a branch bank
bill. which differs from the Capper-
Dyer measure and Is admittedly a
stronger bill. The Capper-Dyer bill
seeks to stop national banks from
establishing branch banks. The
Millspaugh bill gets further to the
root of the evil by prohibiting all
fishing branch banks by the simple
ship in the federal reserve sys-
tenn IL they do. That seems to be
the only way to get at the state
banks by a federal law.
simply that If the national banks
are allowed tc establish branches, the
country banker who is known as
the farmers best frisnd will soon be
driven out Of business and the farmer
will be dealing for credit with a clerk
from some New York bank instead Of
with a fellow-townsman who knows
the local conditions-so Representa-
tive Millspaugh points out.

would have been scrapped anyhow.
They are the Virginia, Rhode Island,

Officials. it was indicated, have felt
that the near eastern situation might
lead to some Of the signatories chang
ing plans regarding the scrapping of
vessels beyond the treaty provisions,
and for that reason it would aot be
wise for the United States to begin
actual scrapping until all the powers
