ALL YOUNGSTERS
 NEED CEREALS
Sugar as a flavor makes these healthful foods enjoyable

Growing bones and teeth require the health giving minerals and vita mins that are freely found in grain cereals and breakfast foods. Grains are natures foods and they supply elements necessary to growth and nutrition. They are excellent in connection with milk, but is it some times hard to get children to eat them?
 A judicious and reasonable amount of sugar added to these foods will work wonders in making them palatable, tasteful and enjoy able. No ingredient adds so much to the taste appeal of other foods Sugar adds to the enjoyment of all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, so valuable in the diet of growing children. Use sugar as a condiment in making healthful foods accept able to the palate. Sweetness. as the perfect flavor in foods, stimu- lates the flow of saliva and of gas tric juice, thereby aiding digestion as we'll as enjoyment.
 Medical authorities warn parents to guard the nutrition of their chil. dren. See that your children ca, regularly of varied. nutritious foods -thereby being safeguarded q against such diseases as tubercu- losis. Far better that your child be slightly overweight for its height and age than a single pound under weight. Sound nutrition is abso- lutely necessary to health and proper development.

SHOT MAY ECHO
 AROUND THE WORLD
Probe Continues Into Dope Syn.
 diCate Of .ROthStein

New York. Dec. II R-The shot which dropped Arnold Rothstein November 4 in the Park Central hotel eventually may echo around the world.
 Investigation of the narcotic sym dicate which Rothstein is believed to ,have financed-at 1S0 per cent interest-today brought charge by Representative Stephen c. Porter that narcotic manufacturers in six countries in Europe were not keep ing. the agreement of the Hague opium convention of 1912. This agreement provided that the manu, facture of narcotics would be limit cd for medical purposes only.
 Not Kept
 Representative Porter. a member of the foreign relations committee of congress, said it was perfectly obvious to anyone" that the agree ment was not being kept. He came hsr1: with Col. L. c. Mutt, head of tho national narcotic bureau, to in- qutve at first hand into the slain gamblers connections with the smuggling of narcotics.
 T have been gathering evidence in regard to this phase of the mat fer for . long time" MT. Porter said, ''ahd am hopeful that the Rothstein homicide will add ma tertally to the data which I have collected"
 He asserted the United States had compiled with the agreement and that if European manufacturers would do likewise smuggling would cease.
 Under Indictment
 Joseph Unger. alias Meyer, alias Klein, was under indictment here today for possession. concealment end transportation of s2.Oo0,ooo worth of narcotics and federal agents had gone to Buffalo. where he Is held under sl0o.oo0 bond. to seek his return to New York and the jurisdiction of the southern New York district. Information se cured from Rothstein's files led to fingers arrest.
 Mrs. June Boyd, in whose apart ment in Chicago $500 900 worth of narcotics was found, testified before the federal grand jury which indict- cd Unger. She was named in the indictment as conspirator but not as a defendant She was believed to have given authorities valuable in- formation as to the operations Of the gang 10 which Cnger belonged.

for use in connection with examinations
in the prohibition service. This appro-
priation was made necessary by the pas
sage of the Reorganization Act creating
the Bureau of Prohibition under the SUI
perVision of Commissioner of Prohibi-
ton. This act requires that the person.
mel Of the field service be appointed under
Civil Service rules.
The second item of legislation of i'm
portance to prohibition during the ses-
sion of Congress just closed was the ap-
preparation for the conduct of the Pro-
hibition Bureau, carried in what is known
as the Treasury and Post Office Appro-
priation Bill H. r. 10635. This act was
passed and approved March 5, 1928, and
became Public Law No. SO. 1t carried an
appropriation of So, 729140 for the
Bureau of Prohibition, of which 81 $50 40
is required to be expended in the enforce
ment of the narcotic laws. This leaves a
balance of $11,378 700 for the conduct of
the Prohibition Bureau proper for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1929. This
item represents a decrease of $3.50, 900
from the appropriation for the preceding
year, but this decrease is more than made
up by the item of $4,000 the bill pro-
vides for the Border Patrol under the
jurisdiction of the Customs Bureau, SO
there is actually no decrease in the eX-
penditure for prohibition enforcement.
The bill also provided $28,640,570 for the
maintenance, upkeep and expenditures Of
the Coast Guard. This covers all of the
activities of that branch of the service,
such as life saving, removal of derelict
vessels, and the suppression Of all forms
of smuggling. OF the total amount ap-
propriated the representatives of the De-
partment in their testimony before the
Appropriations Committee estimated that
$15,064,930 would be required for the sup
preston of liquor smuggling

tourists thus stopped opened fire on the
officers, resulting in unnecessary casual

The present session of Congress adj
journed without a final vote in either the
House or Senate on the Stalker-Jones
Bill. This means delay but not defeat of
the bill. 1t will hold its place on the
Senate and House calendars and come up
for a vote in the next session which will
convene early in December
The Stalker-Jones bill provides in
creased maximum penalties for the manu-
facture, transportation, sale, importation
and expectation of intoxicating bever-
ages The purpose of the bill is to pro-
vide more effective punishment of persons
found guilty of carrying on the CONNER
cial traffic in intoxicants.
The bill received a favorable report by
subcommittee of the House and Senate
is strongly recommended by officials in
the Department of Justice and the Prohi-
bition Department and has the support Of
the various dry organizations. 1t should
be acted upon promptly upon the recon-
vening of Congress in order that more
severe punishment may be melted out to
commercial violators at the earliest pos
sible moment.
DRY LEGISLATION ENACTED
Though the Stalker-Jones Bill failed to
reach a vote other important legislation
affecting prohibition was passed during
the session just closed. The first bill of
Importance to prohibition to be acted
upon in the Seventeen Congress was
known as the Deficiency Appropriation
Bill. This bill failed to pass during the
closing days Of the last Congress on &C
count of a fihbuster against another nea-
sure. Immediately upon the convening
of the Seventeen Congress the Deficiency
Appropriation Bill was re-introduced,
passed and approved December %, 1927.
This act carried an appropriation of

Nothing to Warrant Return of
Saloons

Chief of Police Frank L. Trostle, Of
Madison, Wis, is quoted in the Wisconsin
State Journal of May Is as saying that
there is nothing in Madison to warrant
the return of saloons and "old-fashioned
whisky" The Madison chief did not deny
that there is drinking in Madison, ex-
planning that there ARE some people al
ways who insist upon having prescribed
things. He said: at have no sympathy for
the dirty pups who spend most of their
money for booze, but I have for their
families. and there is far smaller num-
Der of those families today than in the
days of the open saloon.
81 am dry and I don't care who knows
1t. I will fire every man in this depart
ment caught drinking even if he is the
Oldest on the force"
Trostle has been on the force for 16
years, and on beat for Is years of that
time. He formerly patrolled section of

PROPRIETOR RESPONSIBLE
Court of Appeals in Chicago Holds Pro-
prietor Responsible for Acts of
Bartender

According to the daily press, new teeth
have been put into the Volstead act by
ruling of the circuit court of appeals in
Chicago. Under the ruling the proprietor
of a soft drink parlor in that city must
serve a four months sentence. The effect
of the ruling, it is said, will be to hit the
higher ups" In the past bartenders
have taken the blame for violations of the
prohibition law and have thus shielded
the proprietors.
The ruling of the appeal court said:
although the proprietor was not in the
place at the time of the sale nor at the
time of the search, and although the bar
tender testified that the liquor belonged
to him and was possessed and sold with
out the knowledge of the proprietor, the
owner nevertheless can be found guilty of
selling if circumstantial evidence supports
such finding"

new ZEALAND TO VOTE
Ex-Prime Minister Ward Says Lii
censing Will Be Big Issue Next
General Election

The Christian Science Monitor quotes
Sir Joseph Ward, eX-Prime Minister and
for forty years member of the New
Zealand Parliament, as saying that the
question of licensing will be the big ques-
ton at the next general election in New
Zealand.
Sir Joseph said: "I do not wish to COM
NIT myself on this subject, but the parties
for and against appear to be fairly equally
balanced"
The eX-Prenlier referred to the contro-
versy which has arisen over the bill which
the New Zealand House of Representa-
tives passed last December, substituting
a bare majority in the tWo-issue ballot for
the hitherto existing system under which
an absolute majority is requisite in the
triennial three-issue referendum Cover
ing prohibition" estate management"
and "continuance') to enable saloons to
be closed.
If this bill had become law the prohibit
tionists hold that it would introduce pro-
hibition this year since in the last tri-
ennial referendum in 1925 prohibition had
secured a small ma ority over continuance,
though not over continuance and state
management combined. The New Zealand
upper house declined to pass this bill, sub
stituting 50h per cent for a bare ma
jority in the triennial referendum, which
the dry refused to accept since it would
greatly increase their task A deadlock
has thus resulted, which will be fought
out at the polls next election

adoption by the Democratic national con-

what he would do to enforce the prohibi

be taken for modification or repeal.

BY JESSIE A. KNOX.

an. going to tell you about the diff
ferent kinds of pies and how to make
them.
There are really three types of pies
first, the double crust. with which we
are all familiar--two layers of baked
pie crust with a filling between. the
second, deep-dish pie, which has only
one crust and that a top one: the third,
an OPEN faced pie, which has only one
crust and hat the lower one. There
arc really two branches of this type,
for the crust may be baked with the
filling or it may be baked first and the
filling added afterward
The double-crust pies are those with
fruit filings, mincemeat and some OF
the meat pies. such as the old-fashioned
pork pies, the country chicken pies, etc.
For pies of this type the pastry should
be thoroughly chilled and then rolled to
scant eighth-inch thickness. For a
medium sized two-cruSt pie 1t is neces-
sary to use about three cups of flour.
There may be few scraps of pastry
left over. In which case they can be
used for making tarts or pastry squares.
For a double-crust pie line the pie
plate with the pastry and fill with sliced
rhubarb, sliced apples, drained berries
pitted cherries, etc. If the fruit is very
Juicy, it is a little better to mix small
amount of -four with the sugar In order
to slightly thicken the Juice. For tart
fruit allow one and one-quarter cupfuls
of sugar for each medium sized pie.
If the fruit Is juicy, add one to two
tablespoonfuls of flour, mixing 1t thor
oughly with the sugar. This may be
sprinkled over the fruit or mixed with
it before it is filled into the pie. Moisten
the edge of the pastry with cold water.
This makes a top crust stick more
firmly to the lower one and will help in
preventing the juice from running out.
Roll out the top crust about the same
thickness as the lower. Fit 1t over the
top of the pie, pressing the edges very
firmly together Cut several slashes In
the top with a sharp knife or prick 1t
with a fork This allows the steam to
escape or the fruit cooks, and is further
aid in preventing the juices from run
ming out. Put the pie in a very not
oven-about 500 degrees-for the first
10 or is minutes, or until the crust
begins to brown around the edges. Then
reduce the heat TO 375 degrees, or to a
moderate oven, and continue cooking
for 20 to 30 minutes longer. depending
on the type of fruit that is used.
Hard fruit naturally takes longer
time to cook than berries. II the oven
is not hot enough when the pies are put
in. the Juice from the fruit Will soak
down into the lower crust and make 1t
soggy If the edges of the pie are not
pressed firmly enough together, the
Juice Is likely to run out. Sometimes
this happens anyway, especially II the
fruit is very watery.
Some advise heaping the fruit In a
