Flour Vittles

\ man came to a stomach specialist
in despair over his digestive troubles
Every remedy had failed. The doctor
asked him what he ate. Doctor" the
patient replied lit can't possibly be my
diet that upsets me, for about all I've
ct for years is flour vittles."
This man had ruined his stomach,
not by eating indigestible foods, but
by a one-sided diet.
His cure was comparatively simple:
He was given, besides flour vitilos"
plenty of salads. green vegetables,
fruit, milk and eggs.

member that their digestions and their
general health demand plenty OF
green foods, fruits. and dairy food

WILSON'S HANDIWoRK IS
 STILL BEING FELT

In January, 1918, 10 months before the close of the World war, Woodrow Wilson, then Pres ident of the United States, issued his IA prin- ciples. They called for the present geograph- ical division of national boundaries and au- tonomies in Europe and for the League of Ma tions. Both have been established.
 Thirty-three nations in attendance at the economic conference in Genoa. America has no representative on the floor, but it has an interested and nearby in it's ambas- sador, who is in the section reserved for "en1i- nent visitors" He is at least on the scene and lending the prestige and influence of his pres ence.
 The four-power treaty has been passed. It is League of Nations. It is in line with the Wilson policy. What need of Woodrow Will son to break silence when his work is going on so well? He is as potent today in molding the affairs of the world as when the world heard an daccepted the IA principles.

ALICE AND SLOSS FURNACES : INDUSTRIAL LANDMARKS

It is beginning to be like old times in the Birmingham iron world Alice furnace went back into action in March and No. North Birmingham furnace is being dried out pre- paratory to making pig iron next Monday. There is beacon at one end of the city and one at the other showing that the industrial recovery is real and substantial.
 Alice and the North Birminghamh furnaces are landmarks They are among the pioneer plants in Birmingham and are familiar to the oldest citizens.
 One furnace operator booked 100, 900 tons of iron in March, One with one active furnace booked 50,000 tons that month There is very little of a second quarter capacity of production unlocked. The price has risen $t a ton in the past 10 days. The market is strong and greater production has been called for. Pig iron has found it's low point and has begun to advance.
 7 The increase in unified tonnage of the Steel Corporation, following months of decrease, Is proof of the improvement in the steel market. The increase is all the more significant when taken in connection with the large shipments and greater production.

ETA

From the New York Herald.
 A world that has wept over the fate of Mary Stuart, Catharine of Aragon and Eugenie surely has a tear for Zita of Bourbon-Parma, not yet 30 but widow with six young chil- dren and one unborn; once Empress, now an exile and in want.
 Few have endured such misfortune as has come to this young woman since that-day when the Archduke Charles stopped pushing his baby carriage in the parks of Vienna and was called upon to rule an empire. As girl of 26 she matched her wits against those matters of in- trigue who dominated the Germany of 1918 She almost won. But Charles was weak in the hands of the Prussian war lords. He lacked the courage to go through with his peace let ter to her brother Prince Sixtus, and perhaps for that reason more than any other, he is to- day in his shroud in Funchal instead of on the throne of Austria-H Hungary.
 In that thrilling and foolhardy incursion into Hungary last October, Zita, the co-leader, trav- eed at Charles side in the airplane from Swift zerland into battle, capture and exile. We find her in January racing across Europe to the bedside of her sick son. She bore all her sor- rows and disappointments without bitterness"
 "More for you than for me-" Zita chose this motto for herself when she was young girl. Well if not wisely has she been steadfast to it.
 The world may have gained little in tran quillity and order by Charles death. It has gained much by-that example of devotion set by the expectant mother who offered her ife's blood to her husband he lay on his deathbed in that leaky roofed house on Madeira. And there will be few that will not indorse the plea of the King of Spain, expressed in a letter to the Pope, asking that steps be taken to provide suitable support for Zita and her children.
