 Fall Needed Money
 T think Col. J. w. Zevely was asked to procure the services of Sen ator Fall. as MT. Sinclair felt he was the best man for the job" Baldwin said. T think Senator Fall wired Col. Zevely that he could not go as he was planning q deal in New Mex ico and could not go until that was consummated. He also said he needed lot of, money and Sinclair loaned him the money. Senator Fall could not go with us. but came over later.'
 The witness said he left in May with Sinclair and the bond payment was made later.

Food Facts

Many people who are anxious to
plan the family meals properly are con-
fused in the planning as to how to get
all of the needed nutrients into each
meal. This, however, is not necessary
the best plan is to consider the day and
not the meal as a unit and to plan so
as to include the necessary foodstuffs
in all three meals. 1t is, in fact, far
better not to try to have all the groups
included in any one meal. What these
groups are and how they should be
divided is perhaps most clearly told by
listing them as follows

1t will be seen that in some instances
food overlap so far as classes are con-
cerned. For instance, milk Is classed
both as a protein and as protective
food, while butter belongs to the energy
group as well as the protective group.
1t is simple matter to become ac-
customed to grouping these foods in
your mind when marketing and to see
that they are all included m the days
