MR. HOOVER
The most formidable candidate, with
Mr. Coolidge out of the way, Is Hoover,
who is one of the really important men
of the country, and is admirably lifted
for the Presidency. He would make
shining record in that office.
| weigh my words as | say these
things He isn't popular with the poll
ticians, but that is in his favor, pro-
vded it does not defeat him in the
convention His grasp on the big econ
omic questions--foreign and domestic
around which our politics will group
itself for the years that are just ahead,
is more secure than that of any other
American whom can recall.
He Is a walking encyclopedia of ac-
eurate knowledge respecting all these
things, and has gathered that knowledge
at first hand as the result of study
covering many years In this respect
he towers above all the other possibili-
ties-excepting Mr.. Coolidge-like a
giant among pigmes. And he has a
mind that is SO ordered as to permit
him to use his knowledge understanding
~ and apply it wisely to the solution
of American problems. These are sweep
statements, but they are merely the
truth.
Hoover's weakness-from one stand
points his ineptitude for practical
politics. which often disgusts him. His
training makes him impatient with its
insincerities and hypocricies. and with
the superfcialities of so many of the
men who make their living out of it.
From another standpoint, weakness
of that kind is an element of strength.
The moment such a man gets before the
voters they turn to him with rush.
The politicians fear they could not work
with him in patronage matters and the
other petty things of give and take
which occupy so much of a Presidents
time. They are mistaken. They could
work with him, but perhaps on
plane little higher than usual
This inepttude would be handi-
cap but for the fact that Hoover has
been in public life since the beginning
of the Harding Administration, and has
borne himself so we'll as to make Ger
tain that he understands it's ms and
outs OF the ten Cabinet departments,
his is the model in efficiency and out
put There is nothing like it any
where else in the Federal service.

Ireland is to be congratulated on It's support

own affair but those who take an interest In

BY WITH IT.
But when the other youngsters
try to get by with it. what do
we say? They, too, are taking
needless risks, flouting prejudice
and precedent and jeering at
safety-first admonitions. They,
too, are testing their young wings
against the cowardice, conser-
vatism, stupidity and timidity OF
the older generations. But do we
give them a hand?
What do we say when some
young girl rebels against the
sordidness of her home. the lazi-
ness and meanness of her mother,
the spinelessness of her father,
and goes out to make her way
alone? She too, is taking her
young flight alone into the dawn
but have we praise, or even
pity for her flight?
What do we say when some
young boy refuses a Nice Job in
papa's bank or dry goods store,
throws up his chance of a college
education and runs away to sea,
or perchance, takes up aviation?
Do we cheer his pluck or do we
call him an Ungrateful Young
Pup-eveT1 Flying Fool?
All praise for gallant young

But how much praise or patience
or tolerance for his fellow rebels
and adventures? For that reck.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. C. A. L. Reed

VoU may or may not be able
l. to indulge your taste in the
selection of your food. If you
are well.to-do you can buy every
thing you desire, certainly every
thing you need in the way of
eating. But if you are of the
poorer, wage-earning class, and
especially if you must cater to a
large family, it will be necessary
for you to exercise judgment in
the purchase of everything that
goes upon your table.
1t is for the guidance of the
poorer families that am writing
this particular article-possibly
other articles to follow. The prin-
ciple underlying what ! have to
say. however, appeals with equal
force to those in better circum-
stances. Indeed, if the rich were
to live more like the poor must
live, in the matter of eating, it
would probably be better for
them.
Scientific dieting is fortunately
a t t r a ing an ever-increasing
amount of public interest. Much
of the knowledge acquired by ex-
perts in the laboratory has proved
to be of great value in improving
the health of the community,
especially of the reading and
thinking element of the COM
munity.
Unfortunately, however. a very
large section Of the population
seem to have hardly any choice
in the matter of food. Their
earnings are so scanty and food
products are so ourageousIy high
that these people are lucky to
get enough to satisfy their
hunger, let alone a properly
balanced diet. 1t is unfortun atsly
true that, because of the eco.
nomic factor, the individual ele.
ments of a well-balanced diet
are often unavailable and the
practical application of scientific
dietary is so unavoidable as to
be ridiculous.
There is, nevertheless. much
more choice available than is
realized by most workmen's
wives.
The first basis Of a scientific
dietary is quantity of food
which will yield, for the moderate
working person, man or woman.
approximately 100 grams of
protein a day associated with
enough of fat, starches and
sugars to yield about 1000
calories day. To secure these
values with anything like ac-
curacy it is of the highest Inn
portance to take into considera-
ton the quality of the food. This
is particularly true with reference
to proteins Cmeats) which rapidly
lose their energy-giving value when
kept under conditions of i'm.
proper storage. The question of
quality also relates to the vita.
min content of both fats and
vegetables. 1t is to be remem.
bered also that mineral constit-
uents Of vegetables, such as iron,
lime, iodine and phosphorus, are
as important as any other con.
