have difficulties with lunch and
dinner in order to keep within my
budget.
We busy women all have diff
Guilty In keeping our meals balanced.
Let US make some suggestions. In
the first place, by following q
budget you should be able to keep
yourself pretty closely to q weekly
sum for meals, making a study OF
ways and means OF getting a bal
anced diet on this amount. As the
tendency Of most people is to suf-
fer from lack of fruits and vege-
tables and other foods in their
natural state, we advise you to build
your diet deliberately around these.
Plan to include every day twp
green vegetables, such as spinach,
green peas, other green's, string
beans, asparagus, tomatoes, carrots,

LEHL6AcH TO SPEED UP
NEW EMPLOYEES LAWS

Liberalization of retirement laws
for Federal employees will be pro-
vided in the bill prepared by the
Joint Conference on Retirement,
which will be introduced in the
House by Congressman Frederick
r. Lehlbach.
The bill would amend existing
law by providing for optional re-
tirement after thirty years Of serv-
ice, at maximum annuity OF
81, 200. Deductions from salaries
would be increased from 2h to 81
per cent.
The amount of annuity would be
based upon the average salary for
the last five years. of service, in
stead of the last ten, as at present.
The measure is similar to that
passed blythe Senate last year and
favorably reported by the House
committee.

ETC.. If possible, plan to have one
Of these each day in raw form,
such as celery, tomatoes or lettuce.
Plan also for one raw fruit. We
consider it wise to include one egg
q day in the diet, because we feel
that it provides a more adequate
supply of iron, in which the diet
may be deficient. We advise you
also to plan for one serving OF
meat or a substitute each day. BY
a substitute. we mean egg dish or
generous serving Of q cheese dish
or cheese. In addition to this, don't
forget to drink pint Of milk every
day. Sometimes part OF this may
be taken in the form Of ice cream
or q milk dessert, such as q cup
custard. Apart from these few
simple rules. let the rest Of your
diet take care Of itself according to
your appetite. If yonfare very active
physically, you viii naturally de-
mand more calories. Add these in
the form OF butter, breads, or other
starches. Drink plenty of water.

For Baby's Bath

EUK DmDy Ddbu
If your bathroom is very small.
ID may puzzle you to know what
to use as a dressing table for the
baby's bath. A folding card table,
with the legs folded under it, fits
snugly on the top Of the bathtub.
It also leaves enough space for
you to place the baby's tub inside
the big one. You can undress the
baby on the table. then lift him
down into the small tub, which
sits inside the big tub. One could
use the big tub equally as well.
For the Dressing Table
The surface of the child's or
young girls dressing table is only
too often marred by hicks or spilled
perfume, lotions, etc. Glass tops
are expensive, but a thick blotter
cut to the exact size needed is a
splendid substitute. 1t does not
show under the cover. and pro-
longs the life of furniture.
For Your Sewing Basket
A small knitting needle run
across the bottom of a sewing
basket, with spools of thread
strung on it, will save many FUN

WAUSAU OUT TO
CURB COMMISSION
Wausau Joins Racine in
Seeking to Curb Power
of Commission.
USURPS CITY RIGHTS

Assemblyman Conrad Shearer and
Dow J. Vincent Of Kenosha county
have received copies of a resolution
adopted recently by the city council of
Wausau urging the state legislators
to take steps to curb the increasing
powers of the Wisconsin State Rail-
road commission. The resolution is
similar to the one recently adopted by
the city council of Racine, copies of
which were also sent to the state So
Ions.
There have been numerous times in
recent years that Kenosha has ap-
peared to ehafe under rulings handed
down by the state railroad commission,
and for that reason the action of Wau-
sau and Racine in seeking to curb
the powers of the commission is of
much interest here.
Claims Usurpation of Rights.
The Wausau resolution alleges that
the commission has usurped powers
which should belong to municipalities.
The resolution reads as follows:
"Whereas, the people of the State of
Wisconsin did at the general election
in November, 1924, vote an amendment
to the Constitution of the State where
by the municalipies thereof may have
greater power in the administration of
government functions, and
Whereas, it is meet that the peo-
pie of the State of Wisconsin assert
their right of self-goyernment in all
matters and things affecting their we'll
being, and
whereas, there has existed within
this state commission having powers
superior to that of the municipalities
over matters affecting the activities of
public utility corporations, and
Whereas, it has been the experience
of the city of Waupaca and other
municipalities that said Railroad Com
mission has usurped functions and ex-
ercised power to the detriment of the
people; and
"Whereas, the establishment of said
commission is fundamentally wrong
and in practice a failure and imposes
upon the people substitution of pub
lie utilities; and
whereas, corporate utilities have
no greater right to guaranteed earn
ings than other business corporations
Of the state;
''Now, therefore, be it resolved:
That it is the sense of this council
that said Railroad Commission be abb
olished, and that municipalities be
authorized to deal direct with public
utilities in all matters of local inter
est.
Further resolved: That it is also
the sense of this council that super
vision of railroads of this state be
placed in the hands of a Railroad
Commission with such. necessary and
reasonable powers as will protect the
rights of citizens of this state.
"Be it further resolved: That the
City Clerk be and is hereby authorized
and directed to send a copy of this
resolution to the Governor of the State
and to all members of the 1925 Legis-
lature.'
