The people were promised govern

which the people can punish the
political crime against them"

WILLIAMS SEWER COST
 HIGH, IN YIELDS OPINION
Mayor Believes Broad Street Section Can Get Relief At Less than
 Estimated

In the opinion of Mayor Weld, relief from storm water sewer dam age can be given the Broad street district at a much smaller cost than estimated by City Engineer Joseph D. Williams.
 The city engineer, after investi- gation, reported extensions in the Broad stret area alone would re- lieve that district, but would merely shift the difficulty to other areas, probably Main street and Hartford avenue. To properly engineer the job, he explained it would be neces- sary to enlarge the main lines into which Broad stret district feeds, and the cost of this, he said, is greater than the city's present financial con dition would permit since the city is close to the limit of it's bonding ability.
 Mayor Weld said today his view of the situation is purely that of a lay man and not that of an engin- eer. But, he explains, ne wcatch basins and new pipe lines might be installed so storm water would run into the main lines from separated points and would therefore be more gradual and capable of being carried off.

CEREAL FOODS ARE
 DECLARED UNFIT
WiliamstoVn Speaker Says
 They Are Deficient

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. IS Pe- The greatest error man ever made was that of basing his diet on cereal food, Dr. E. B. Forbes. of Pennsyl- vania State college, told the insti- ute of politics today. Having first learned to cook his food, man soft ened it's composition to the detri- ment of his physical welfare, train of physical ills following the decayed teeth that cooked food caused.
 Cereal foods he said, are deficient in mineral nutrition and vitamins and their proteins are of inferior quality.
 Man heaped insult on injury, Dr Forbes said. when he screened out the fine white flour from the grain leaving the best parts for his farm animals and the climax of tragic comedy came when he learned tC make chemically pure sugar contain ing no essential nutriment and tt eat this on his refined cereal food The results are the deficiency dts eases, which were termed the grea aualitive food problem of civiliza tion.
 More acute, However, than th' qualitative food problem, pr. Forbe said, is the quantitative food prob lem. that arises from the constant, increasing population of the world Three ways of solving the problem he said, are possible: starvation warfare, or the attainment of al equilibrium between births an deaths at population level allow ing adequately for variation in foo production.
 "There is absolutely no questio but that in time there will be world wide checks to the present rate population increase Dr. Forbe saia "and thus from the point ( view of practical world politics, tn nutrition of the world as a whole every nations problem. Its solutlo lies in international organization ] the extensive interchange of fooc etuffs, and in the promotion of 1T ternational fellowship in science an education"
