'MSURGENT SUCCESS
PLEASING TO NELSON
Independent Republican Leader in
House Attacks Both the
Old Parties.
HITS "PARTY sHACKIEs''
Claims Faction Aims to Promote
Progressive Laws.

Charging the Republicans with
permitting big business to raid the
public treasury and critictzing the
Democrats for not taking a more
pronounced stand against the Cape
Cod Canal bill, Representative Nelson
of Wisconsin, Republican insurgent
leader, in a review Of the work OF
Congress placed in the Congressional
Record today, declared the fnsurgent
success exceeded by far our hope"
The insurgents, Mr.. Nelson said. by
preventing "reactionary legislation
and promoting many progressive
measures, gave the session an 'un-
eoualled record" in defying forces
seeking special privilege and, by re-
fusing to wear party shackles, un-
shackled Congress"
Taking up specifically practically
every important piece OF legislation
before the House. the Wisconsin
representative explained the insur-
gents attitude. Referring to the NC
Sary-Haugen farm relief measure, he
said. the insurgents knew that 1t
was not the intention of regulars to
permit 1t to pass" because 1t was
serving Ito block the way OF any
real farmers relief legislation"
Let them misrepresent us as radi-
GALS" he concluded. This only re-
veals that we are right"

yesterday on the question of organ

Nutrition Nuggets.

In using cream soup as basis
for planning meal it is well to in
clude in the menu hot sandwich
This rounds out a simple meal in
quate nouriShment.
Hot clear soups are suitable only
for dinner where solid courses are to
follow. These clear soups have in
themselves no food value, but are
merely appetiZing and stimulating.
When a menu which has been care
fully balanced does not satisfy the
appetite, add a fruit dessert, which
is preferable during the summer
season.
During hot weather be especially
careful not to serve highly seasoned
foods. Seasoning is added for the
purpose of bringing out the natural
flavor. The American habit tends to
using condiments by way of covering
up natural f1avors.
Next time you are advised to eat
body-regulating foods, remember that
1T is because your system requires
lime, phosphorus and iron. Get your
lime from milk, cheese, buttermilk,
celery, onions carrots; your phosph3-
rus from milk, lettuce, lean beef, as
paragus, spinach, celery; your iron
from lean beef egg yolk, onions, spin
ach, pruneS and oatmeal.
Decide on methods of cookery that
harmonize. For example, more than
one fried food would be disastrous
both from a digestive and esthetic
point of view. Serve a creamed veg
etable with a baked potato or fried
potato with broiled steak. Let this
principle govern all your menu
making.
Let your dessert be light if your
main course has been heavy; and
similarly, if you have had a vegetable
dinner, the dessert may be more
hearty.

orange or peach or three tablespoon
luis OF baked apple or apple sauce
Three tablespoonfuls of cereal with
out sugar, but with thin cream
ccoddled egg, providing this does not
increase the trouble. Watch the ef
tect Of the egg very closely. At
breakfast should also have a cup of
milk to drink
Dinner should have a small serving

slice of roast beef with one-half a
baked potato or two heaping table,
spoonfuls of mashed potatoes, three
tablespoonfuls of asparagus tips or
summer squash or carrots and for
dessert a tablespoonful of baked
apple or one of chocolate pudding or
of rice pudding.
For supper give a small cup of
cream soup with a slice of dry toast
or three tablespoonfuls of baked mac
aroni or a soft cooked egg on days
fast. Also give him a slice of dry
toast with a pat of butter and two or
three tablespoonfuls of a very simple
dessert.
I must remind you that the above
diet is for the little boy when he is
in perfectly normal health Any one
