Vegetable Juices Are
Rich in Mineral Matter

Do not drain off the juices from
canned vegetables and throw them
away. There is no reason for throw
ing away the liquor from canned foods
unless there are evidences of spoil
age, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. Then the
solid contents should also be dis
carded. The idea that canned vege-
tables themselves are safe to eat If
the juice from the same can Is I'M
fit, has no foundation In fact. The
practice Of draining probably goes
back to the days when certain vege-
tables were put up in brine too salty
to be served with the vegetables.
They then had to be drained and some
times soaked in clear water to make
them edible. There Is no excuse for
this practice now. The liquor around
canned vegetables contains valuable
mineral matter and draining it off
means important loss in nutritiye
value.

BILL
PASSAGE:
VITAL

By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
Emergency methods by which
the Government can save radio
broadcastinR for. the 10000, 900
listeners in the United States,
should Congress fail to pass a
eontroll bill, were under considerR-
ton at the Department of Com
merce today.
Although Secretary of Com
merce Hoover was hopeful that
the White radio bill would pass
IN view of the Chicago Federal
Courts decision holding Govern
ment control Of broadcasting IL
legal, it was thought necessary
to prepare for. the chaotic condi-.
tion that would follow the legisla-
tons failure
Plans Suggestion
Among the suggested plans were:
An Executive order by President
Coolidge declaring that an emerg-
ency existed in the radio industry
and authorizing the Secretary Of
Commerce to establish the neces-
sary regulations.
A conference of broadcasting sta
ton owners in Washington looking
to the signing of a self-control
treaty that would tide the situation
over until Congress meets again.
Officials believed that most of
the station operators would heed
the best interests Of the industry
and remain on their authorized
wave lengths. However, air piracy
by a few broadcasters will be suf-
ficient to destroy one Of the coun-
'try's most popular amusements.
600 Would Open Stations
Another difficult situation was
presented in the fact that 900 APP
plications for new radio stations
are pending in the Department of
Commerce. Under the decision any
of these applicants apparently can
legally open up stations and begin
broadcasting.
II applicants for licenses take this
attitude the broadcasting system
will be wrecked overnight.
kilograms began to pour into
washington today from all parts of
the United States demanding pass
age of Congress of some form Of
radio-control bill.
