HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DIR. FREDERICK r. GREEN
: Editor Of "HEALTH"
EATING A THIRD OF YOUR
INCOME

|HOW much Of your income dosyou
= = eat? If less than one-third you
are more careful than the average.
Ten years ago, one-fifth of ones in
come was considered enough to spend
on food Today, according to a sur
vey made by the American Academy Of
Political and Social Science. American
families spend from S5 to 40 per cent
of their incomes for food. That means
that we eat one-third to half of all we
earn.
The retail storekeepers have an or
ganization through which they keep
track of what the American public
buys and how much 1t pays. In 1909,
the purchase of food of all kinds at
retail stores amounted to $4,O00,O0O,-
900. By 1921 this had doubled. "Of
course" you say, shat was war

doubled again!
The total national annual income,
what we all of us>earn in a year by
our work. whatever 1t is, is $68.000,-
100000. OF this, $4,000. 100000 Is
spent at retail stores. Nearly one
half Of this, or $15.O00,O0O.O00, is
spent for food. while another billion
and half goes for candy and soft
drinks, which are additional food.

food. we ought to he the best-fed ma
ton on earth. We are. Estimated In
calories or heat-producing units, the
body needs about 1000 calories day
for its own Lourishment. How much
more Is needed depends on ones work.
Rubner estimated that a clerk doing
sedentary work needs 500 calorles ad-
ditiOnal or $500. A professional man
needs little more. or 1900, while
laborers ct different trades need from
1900 to 1000. depending on the kind
of work. Atwater. the American au-

AS 1t turned out, Dirk was spared
the necessity of worrying about the fit
of his next dinner coat for the fol-
lowing year and half. His coat, dur
ing that period, was a neat olive drab
as was that of some millions of young
men of his age, or Whereabouts. Most
Of that time he spent at Fort Sheridan,
first as an officer in training, then as
an officer training others to be officers.
He was excellent at this job. Influ.
ence put him there and kept him there
even after he began to chafe at the re-
straint. =
In the last six months of 1t (though
he did not, of course, know that It
was to be the last six months) Dirk
tried desperately to get to France. He
was suddenly sick of the neat job at

They all were doing some share in
the work to he done.
Selma had thought about her own
place in this war welter. She had
wanted to do canteen work in France
but had decided against this as be,

she said, sis to go on raising vege

She herself worked like a man, TAX

Paula was lovely in her Red Cross

and he was Unexpectedly effective in
his quiet, serious way; most convinc

at in uniform. Paula's little air of pos

was deeply and terribly in love with
him.

u. S. ORDERS LIQUOR
SOLD TO HOSPITAL
Judge at Norfolk Fixes ST a
Bottle on 1000 Cases
Seized, Cutting Price $4.75.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NORFOLK. Va, March 20.-Federal
Judge D. Lawrence Groner this morn
ing ordered 1000 cases of confiscated
liquor sold to hospitals.
Prosecuting Attorney Paul kear had
recommended the action when con-
fronted with the duty of disposing of
the contra band pointing out that
hospitals are now required to pay
1915 a quart for whisky, and that
in view OF this 1t would be better
TO place it at the disposal of the
hospitals al a minimum figure rather
than TO pour 1t out, as has been done
with thousands of gallons throughout
Virginia. The court fixed the price
at 81 per quart, effecting a saving of
S4.75 on each bottle, and there was
an instant demand. 1t is the first
time an order of the kind has been
filed in a Virginia court and the an
nouncement created a furry here.
The liquor was seized July 81, 1928,
aboard the British schooner Pasaquid,
by the United States revenue cutter
Mascoutin. The ship was confiscated
and sold under the hammer as a rum
runner and it's officers and men were
tried several months ago and sent
TO prison for one year. They are
