A tetic virtues ought to be
better understood.
It's value as a food is much en-
HANGED by the addition OF eggs,
foods rich in fat and vegetables.
Macaroni has been accorded a
first place as a nourishing food
by well qualified experts. Its.
caloric value is very high. One
would not have to eat a great
quantity of macaroni in order to
supply the needs Of the body. be.
cause of its richness in carbo-
hydrates and albumin, provided 1t
we're supplemented by olive oil and
grated Parmesan cheese, which
would give more albumin and the
needed fat and also aid in the as
similation Of the macaroni.
All OF which makes II clear why
so many Neapolitans can live
chiefly upon q macaroni diet, as
Eastern Asiatics live upon rice. II
is said that many of these people
eat chicken, turkey or the meat of
the. pig only at Christmas, living
upon macaroni and vegetables all
the rest Of the time and thriving
nightly upon this nourishing
food.
From the experience of these
people we can learn much. We
SHOULD initiate them in making
macaroni q standard part OF our
diet.
Macaroni Is particularly health,
ful as an addition to the midday
and evening meals. n is easily
digested and imposes no hard work
upon the stomach or other organs.
And Il II very easily assimiliated.
This food contains no Injurious
substance either as regards the
liver or the blood vessels. Hence
II Is an ideal source OF nourishment
for patients suffering from liver
and kidney troubles and for those
who have arteriosclerosis or Rotit

nyHE reported possibility that Secretary
i Hughes may be named TO head the off
eial American delegation 10 the brazilian
centenary fair in September is consistent
with several admirable traditions in this
hemisphere.
The great South American nation was
generous to her host forty six years ago.
when she dispatched no less n parsonage
than Dom Pedro to the Centennial in Ph!a-
delpha. OF more recent years the head Of
the State Department, then Elihu Root,
was an official visitor to our Latin neigh
bors and was instrumental in cementin 2
those bonds of cooperation and sympathy
requisite to the right conception Of amity
and progress in the New World.
Latin American appreciation Of dirlo-
matte amenities is exceedingly lively. and
this sensibility is aCccntuated by the prompt
response to Sven unintentlOnal discourte-
sizes. as was exemplifed some years ago
when an American fleet which had landed
\ at Callao. Peru. merely steamed in and out
) Of the harbor of Valparaiso. Chile The
Chileans were deeply aggrIeved.
Mr.. Harding will make no mistake in
selecting the dominant member Of his Cabi-
net to signaiZe the interest of this Govern
ment In the prosperity and civilization OF
che United States of Brazil. Congress has
already risen To the occasion with n million
dollar appropriation for American partici
patton in tho fair and for the erection Of a
permanent building.
