VALUE of health may not be reck-
oned in dollars and cents. Two
thousand years ago there was per-
hapS some excuse for the gastronOme,
but today there is none. The way TO
health lies in a balanced diet. Hip
pocrates, the father of medicine,
figured along the same lines back 400
b. c. He expressed the belief that
the science of medicine had its be-
ginning in the efforts of men and
women to find better and smoother
diets
Diet in the home today is becom-
ing a matter of premier cOnsidera-
ton. Women are taking cognizance
of those important food elements
known as vitamines. They have
learned also, the benefit to the hu-
man body of such minerals as iron.
calcium and phosphorus.
This knowledge has resulted in the
housewife planning her menus with an
eye open to dietary values, which is
the big reason why milk has assumed
such a large place in the menu of the
American family. Milk contains every
structural element for body building.
1t is an almost perfect food. Despite
the best refrigeration facilities, milk
will keep sweet only short time
Millions of American housewives have
solved this big problem by using evap-
GRATED milk, which is simply fresh
cows milk sterilized in cans to
achieve keeping qualities and with
! sixty per cent of the water removed.
| Evaporated milk is not the same as
condensed milk, although many per-
sons confuse the two. The condensed
product is combination of milk and
| sugar cane in a two-ffth cane sugar
and three-fifth milk proportion. Evap-
Grated milk has nothing but water
taken from it and nothing at all added
Sugar is the preservative used in
manufacturing the condensed product
" hile heat only is the preservative
for evaporated milk For this reason
the evaporated product may be used
in any way in which market milk is
used.

YOU HIRE AND FIRE

Has it ever occurred to you Mr.,
Union Man,
That you are an employer of labor :"
Have you realized that the head Of
an average family employs many men
and women during the course of each
year?
You may not regard yourself as an
employer but you are one just the
same because
When you purchase the product Of
mans labor you hire that man;
Your money pays his wages; you
are his real employer.
When you purchase union label
products,
You are union employer.
When you purchase non-label goods,
You are a non-union employer.
When you buy label product,
You hire union man.
When you buy a non-label product,
You fire union man.
So you see, Mr. Union Man, you
are an employer Of labor in the full
sense of the world. You hire and you
fire.
If you have work to be done,
Hire union man to do it, also
Hire union men by buying label
products-Canadian Congress Jour
nal.

IMPERSONATOR JAILED.
Negro Sentenced for Assault Had
Stick and Badge Of Officer.

Eugene w. jackson, alias Watkins
colored, charged with an assault OF
Ruth Thomas, colored, which is al
legged to have resulted from an imper.
sonation of Detective jackson of po
lice headquarters, was sentenced to
six months in Jail upon his conviction
before Judge John =. Mcmahon in
Police Court yesterday.
A charge of assaulting Policeman
Theodore Montgomery, which occur
renee also grew out of an alleged i'm
personation of police officer, was
dismissed.
The defendant was held for the ac.
ton of grand jury to answer to Il
robbery of SIS from Roster Davis
colored.
Judge Mcmahon stated that there
was no doubt in his mind that the de-
fendant was carrying a badge and
billy and impersonating policeman,
but did not believe that he coerced
and forced Policeman Montgomery
to go anywhere against his will, thus
making a technical assault In the
Ruth Thomas case, however, the court
was of the opinion that the technical
assault was made.
There is no provision in the District
statutes relating to impersonating a
policeman, the only charge that can
he sustained is that of an assault.

FEDERAL FUNDS
SHORT, SAYS
MOODY
Chairman Lanham Says Aid
Is Subject to Fluctua-
lion as Work Is Done.

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 20.-OP)-
ncxas three-cornered highway en-
broglio again took the stage in district
court here today with the tension
heightened by an unexpected angle. in
volring alleged discrepancy of $780,
600 federal aid highway funds. de-
yeloped late yesterday in hearing OF
the attorney generals contract an
nullment and restitution suit against
the American Road Company.
The state highway commission,
third corners in the case and loser
with Governor Miriam A. Ferguson
in an intervention attempt seeking dis
missal of the suit, WINS in the lime
light again yesterday when testimony
of a witness held the commissioners
accountable for an apparent shortage
of federal aid funds in their care.
c. A. Schultz, federal aid clerk, de-
clared in response TO questioning OF
Attorney General Dan Moody that
federal funds received and expended in
Texas did not check with the balance
on hand.
FUND FLUCTUATES.
Last night, however, Chairman
Frank Lanham defended his highway
commission with an explanation de-
signed to show that the federal aid
system Of funding is subject TO fluc-
tuations.
Sometimes the state owes the gov
eminent and at other times. the gov
eminent is debtor to the state In the
balancing of the funds, he said.
Yesterdays session perceptibly
ouickened the pace of the trial, which
started Monday, when the attorney
general plunged in in an attempt to
secure the annullment OF outstanding
contracts let by the highway commits
sion TO the American Road Company
charging fabulous profits and illegal
collisions. Moody's petition charges
that contracts were let TO the defend
ant company without competitive bid
ding.
The state rested its case yesterday
afternoon after introduction of wit
nesses. including highway engineers,
from whose testimony, the attorney
general obviously sought to draw in
ferences that the road company's re-
endorsement for highway work was
excessive. Detailed examination as to
comparative costs of road topping by
the square yard, heightened the ses-
sion.
Governor Ferguson although ousted
from participation, is watching the
proceedings closely. Added color is
leat to the situation by the fact that
her husband, former Governor james
Il. Ferguson, at the outset of the high
way controversy, was openly charged
with dominating the highway commits
