Tomatoes
Tomatoes are an acid fruit of the
tomato bush, which, along with po-
tatoes and tobacco, is related to the
nightshade family. When first in
troduced to Europe, tomatoes were
known as the ''love apple" because
it was considered that one could
commit suicide by eating them. They
were only used for ornamental pur-
poses.
Tomatoes grow best in warm cli-
mates, the plant being q native of
the new world, having been cult
waited in Mexico and South America
centuries before the Spanish con-
quest. Although at one time con-
sidered unfit to eat, tomatoes are
now esteemed as one of our most
valuable protective foods against
disease. An analysis of the fruit
shows that it is very alkaline-form-
ing and is rich in potassium, calcium.
magnesium, iron, chlorin, and vita
Minis A, B, and c. Tomatoes are one
of the foods that can be canned and
yet retain their vitamin value.
Since tomatoes contain large guam
titles Of malic and citric acids, they
should not be eaten with any starchy
foods, but they do make good COM
binations with either meat, fish, or
non-starchy vegetables. The organ
ic acids do not increase the acidity
of the body since they are oxidized
by the liver and release the basic
salts which make the blood more
alkaline.
People with rheumatism or govt
sometimes believe that they should
not eat tomatoes, but this is a mis-
take. Tomatoes are very good
foods to use in these diseases, but of
course, only in the right combina-
tions.
The United States now uses the
most tomatoes per capita, with Italy
following close second. In Canada
and northern Europe most of the
tomatoes consumed are of the canned
variety. Canned tomatoes are prac-
tically as wholesome as when fresh
and may be used to replace the raw
in salads and cooking
Baked Tomatoes
Wash six medium sized tomatoes
and cut slice from the stem end of
each. Remove pulp carefully, drain
and mix with half cup Of Melba
toast crumbs, a half cup of minced
mushrooms, either canned or fresh,
two tablespoons Of chopped ripe
olives. and two tablespoons of
minced ham. Fill tomatoes and
bake for about 80 minutes in a pan
which has been placed in a larger
pan containing hot water to a depth
Of an inch or more. Serve hot with
lump of butter and a little chopped
parsley on each tomato.
Stuffed Tomato Salad
Peel and remove the centers from
large firm tomatoes. If the toma-
toes are plunged into boiling water
and allowed to remain for about one
minute the skins will slip off very
easily. Drain the scooped out por-
ton and mix with two parts of cot
tage cheese, one part minced ripe
olives and little chopped parsley.
Serve on crisp lettuce leaves with
slices of cold boiled beets.
Cream of Tomato Soup
Cut six or eight medium sized
tomatoes into small pieces and cook
until tender, adding q small amount
Of honey-about a teaspoonful.

REALLY NO GREAT MEN?

"There are no great men," says the modern bogra-
pher 1.-THE that call great simply products
of circumstance Forces beyond their control lifted
them up.'
The modern psychologist agrees.
mo man is master of his fate" he says "Our lead
ers are mere puppets Of destiny"
This attitude is quite the thing nowadays But if it
depresses you here two recentyprnted books that
will help you to get different outlook
One of them is William McFee's "Sr Martin Frobish-
err" the other 1.-THE Splendid Renegade" John Paul
Jones) by John Herries Mccullough.
One doubts either Frobisher or Jones would have
assented to the proposition that he made great by
circumstances beyond his control.
Frobsher, you remember, was Of the great
British seamen who broke the Spanish armada. And
McFee's book gives amazing picture of the feat.
Frobisher, with Drake, Hawkins and Howard, fought
the armada without support They lacked money
food, ammunition and men. Queen Elizabeth had vast
stores Of powder in London and huge caches Of gold
and JEWELS but she sent her fleet out almost destitute
to fight the worlds greatest navy Reading the story
feels that it inevitable that the Spanard should
triumph.
But Frobisher and his colleagues were victorious.
BY sheer daring, bluff seamanship and tenacty they
disregarded their shortcomings and sent the ar
mazda reeling, broken and eternaly whipped, into the
stormy North Sea- Nothing on earth but these mems
greatness saved England from defeat.
Mccullough tells the same sort Of story about John
Paul jones'
Politicians ruled the first American navy. Incom
petent wire pullers given command; Jones, ex-
pirate and magnificent seaman, finally got to sea in
spite Of his superiors in leaky unseaworthy old tub;
and in his famous fight with the Serapis his ship was
actually disabled, sinking wreck when he compelled
the British captain to surrender Jones not only beat
crack English frgate he trumphed over bureaucratic
medding, red tape, mutinous crew and jealous sub
ordinates. Never there clearer example Of what
moral greatness can do.
Is man the helpless creature Of circumstances
Frobisher and Jones would have disagreed. They
doubtless would have said that truly strong man can
make destiny follow meekly in his footsteps.

Washington, Nov. IA COR
RESPONDENTS MENTAL NOTE
BOOK: One result Of bitterness
stirred up in the campaign ought to
be lot more fun in Washington in
the next four years. Some of our
best orators are going to be very
sore, and there's no place like Con-
gress to unload a. burdened breast.
The new president isn't likely to
be as comfortable as Coolidge has
been. Some of the boilers have
laid themselves open to possible pun
ishment, which they are likely to get,
in or out of Congress.
Jim Reed, for whom the next ses-
sion of the Senate will be his last,
is feeling pretty sour on lot of
things. He hated Hoover with such
cordially that the Democratic man.
ayers cautioned him rather emphat-
ically, whereat Jim became more dis
gusted than ever. Nobody can kick
up more excitement locally than Jim
and it's hard to believe that he'll let
the next session pass without dem
onstration Of his old time fervor.
Someone is reasonably sure to
squirm.
Funny thing how both Republicans
and Democrats will claim state by
large majorities just before election.
Funnier still how many of them be-
lieve their own claims. Headquar-
tiers officials can only rely on what
they hear from the boys on the
ground. There's no penalty for be-
ing wrong, insofar as the national
organization is concerned.
What political parties need are
better forecasters, who will give
them what Al Smith called the real
lowdown, SO they can know where
the real money and effort must be
spent. Trouble with lots of boys on
the scene is that they find their
states very doubtful until they've re.
ceived all the funds they can milk
from national headquarters, where.
after they become confirmed opti.

Well, anyway, AL Smith is prob.
ably the only one who came neal

tional Press club. Whenever he

merchant alive. Many racketeer
has been out-racketed by a more
clever manipulation. It's game of
cheating the cheaters and may the
last and best cheat win!
Some interesting types have been
developed, apparently. There was,
for instance, the fellow who be-
came known as "Petie the Priest"
and who affected clerical robes and
a most holy attitude. He practiced
this role so long that, even after he
had tossed aside his disguise, he
couldn't pass a church without bend
ing a knee.
The lingo used by the practition-
ers is something unto itself, though
a few expressions have crept into
general slang.

is the fellow who gets your name
into print, with something nice at
tached. He is, oftimes, the same
fellow who used to keep names out
of print for little blackmail cash.

dangerous. One editor did a prison
stretch for getting out Broadway
tattle-tale sheet that printed things
when the necessary money wasn't
forthcoming. Today a number Of
"puff-sheets," the sole income from
which is "shake down." are issued.
The circulation is among the "suck-
ers" who pay to get the "puffs" in
print.
There are pay-off men, tat men,
charity chiseiers, dice hustlers, note
layers and fire proofers.
There are "parlor hi-jackers," 4

little game in which the big boot
logger becomes the sucker. A rack
eteer poses as a night club owner.
His accomplice arranges an introduce
ton to the night clubber. A fake
"set up" is used for closing the deal.
Any new night club may be used as
a "set up" though the racketeer
never before entered its doors. A
huge order for liquor is given
something in the neighborhood of
$4,000, for instance.
Instructions are given to. deliver
"the goods" to certain warehouse.
A portion Of the sum is paid down
to seal the bargain. But within q
few minutes Of delivery "the goods
are being taken out by other trucks
and sent to new destinations. And

A SMASHING VICTORY

Herbert Hoover has smashing victory for the
presidency. The American people have endorsed the
policies Of the Republican party in general and the
sterling ability of Herbert Hoover in particular.
The farmers of the United States did not revolt.
Farm relief modification of the Vostead Act, revision
of the tariff and other issues featured by the
Democrats failed to impress the American voters.
For the most part the farmers and the city voters
Joined in rousng endorsement of Mr.. Hoover, feel
ing that he possessed qualifications that made him
more efficient leader for the crisis that faces the
nation than Gov. Smith.
Alfred E. Smith put up valiant fight against ter
rifle odds. He met the issues manfully and went down
to defeat but not ANONYMOUSLY.
Prosperity except in agricultural centers, impressed

ers in the Republican party.
The women of the nation rallied to Herbert Hoover
a figure they idealized during the war; personality
which lost none of their allegiance during his seven
and-a-half years Of service as cabinet official
Affairs of the nation in competent hands Few
men have entered the presidency better equipped and
with greater knowledge of foreign and domestic
problems
There is every evidence that of good feeling
will set in the result of yesterdays most emphatic
verdict.
Few seasoned political observers doubted the
election of Herbert Hoover. With the exception Of
some discomfort in the agricultural regions, the voters
generally reflected in yesterdays verdict salts
fled to let well enough alone Unemployment is not
acute, wages have not sagged and many other con-
ditions ripe for the kind of Republican victory
which the American people registered Tuesday.
Some bitterness and rancor remain as an aftermath,
but the good craftsmanship Of Al Smith and his
ciates will smooth away that Probably presi-
dent since Theodore Roosevelt has entered the White
House with the acclaim and affection that Hoover will
have.
The nation settle down to a study Of vital
problems in full confidence that the Republicans have
learned lessons the result Of this campaign to
the end that the farmers who refused to be attracted
by Democratic promises find substance in the solemn
pledges made by Republican leaders in this campaign.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Children Like Ice Cream
Here is an amusing letter from a
child who signs himself 'The
Wisher."
Question: "My mother has put
me on fruit diet which shs learned
was good for children from your
articles in the paper. At present I
am on one and / wish that in the fu-
ture you would mention that ice
cream diet is just as good, so my
mother would try it,
Answer: You just keep on watch
ing my weekly menus which are pub
lished in this column every Friday,
and you will learn how to use ice
cream properly. Show these menus
to your mother and you will be sure
to get ice cream at least once
week. Ice cream is one of our best
foods but you would soon tire Of it
as steady diet.
Falling Hair
Question: M. A. E. asks: "Would
you give the treatment for falling
hair? l am eighteen years old and
have just recovered from scarlet
fever. Do you think this is the
cause?"
Answer: Undoubtedly the fever
You have just had is responsible for
the loss of hair which you have at
the present time. Keep your hair
cut short and battle the head daily
in cold water or treat the scalp by
applying ice for several minG4es
each day. This will help reestab-
lish circulation of blood to the scalp,
but you must expect to lose consider
able hair before the new, strong hair
grows in.
Goitre
Question: Mrs. A. M. asks: az
"How can a goitre be cured? Mine
isn't very noticeable and doesn't
bother me much, but am afraid il
will later on in life. 81 I have
backache all the time-seems to be
in my spine. This seems to affect
my brain, as can't think fast
enough"
Answer: "a The different forms
Of goitre can be cured by strict diet.
! will be glad to send you instfGc-
tions if you will only send me your
request, with large, stamped, self
addressed envelope. (2) would
advise you to have an examination
by some physician who understands

what is causing your trouble.

ness was a fellow who became known
as English Jack" He did not start
out to be racketeer, but such was
his physical appearance and his car
riage that most people thought him
to be either a policeman or fire
man. This gave him the bright idea
Of actually> taking on those roles,
which he did so effectively that,
when he died in a New York hospital
following an operation, every one in
the institution thought him to be a
police captain on leave of absence.
