CONSIDERATIONS
PLAGUE OF RACE
Eat Fruits and Vegetables -
Properly Favored

The papers are full Of statements
and theories about constipation
one of the plaques of civilized
people. What are the facts? A
famous food biologist was asked TO
state the case and he summed it up
in these few words: "At least 90%
Of constipation is due to a lack of
roughage in the diet. Eat bran,
cereals, and fruits and vegetables
both raw and cooked"
He went on to emphasize how
much more pleasant it is to eat
these healthful foods provided their
delightful tastes and havors are
developed by the use of sugar. He
spoke of how hard it is to get chill
dren to eat cereals, so beneficial in
their diet, unless they are properly
sweetened. He asked US to remem-
Der how many healthful fruits
would be unpleasant to the taste
without softening the fruit acid;
and developing their remarkable
havors with sugar.
We should put it down as a safe
rule of health that all human beings
living in the civilized world today
need plenty of fruit and vegetable
fiber in their daily diet. Sugar, by
making nearly all such diets pleas
ant to taste and easy to eat, is tie
one dependable aid to the eating Of
roughage.
There is no substitute for sugar
in the normal diet. Sugar is Ma

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1929-01-22

calls for a service plate with
meat knife at the right, cutting
edge toward plate, and a soup spoon
at the right of the knife. At the
left of the plate put dessert
fork, then salad fork, and the
meat fork farthest from the plate,
all the tines up.
With maid service, the dessert
silver Is placed or brought in just
before the dessert course. Placing
1t now is one of the concessions to
formality necessary for ease and
simplicity of service, The silver is
more easily and quickly placed liz
assembled on tray.
At the point OF the knife place
the water glass and near the point
of the fork the bread-and.butter
plate with butter spreader across
the upper right-hand corner. At
the left of the forks place the nap
kins neatly folded. Between each
two covers set salt and pepper
shaker Place on the table a plate
of crisped crackers and the table
is ready for the soup, which should
just before the family is seated.
Let Children Serve
If there are children or young
people in the family train them
to remove and bring in the dishes.
1t gives them a chance to use
very happily some of the activity
of youth and affords the mistress
an opportunity to relax after pre-
pairing the dinner. The soup plate
is placed upon the service plate.
After the family Is seated the
plate, of crackers is passed from
one to another until all are served,
when it is again placed on the table.
The soup course finished, remove
the plate of crackers. then, begin
ming with the hostess, go to her
left and remove with left hand the
soup plate. change 1t to the right
hand. and removed the next plate
to the right of the hostess in the
same manner. thus carrying them
to the kitchen one in each hand.
This is another variation from fund.
amental rules to simplify service.
The service. or dinner plate. upon
which the soup plate was placed
should be in perfect condition to
Use for the meat course. The roast
is brought in and placed before the
host, who begins to carve. Then
the vegetables and gravy are
brought TO the table and placed
near the serving silver which was
previously laid in relation to the
space for the dish. 1t is a help to
have some one who sits near the
carver serve the vegetables that are
to be on the same plate with the
meat, as passing the plate hack and
forth is thus avoided.
Another Method
Another method OF using dinner
plate Is to remove the soup and
service plate together and bring to

 Beverages Illegal

Des Moines. la, June oG P-A one-man crusade against the sale in Iowa of near beer was under full steam today, with John B. Ham, mond, former chief of police, fur nishing the power.
 The 150,000 bottles of the bevcr- age which were seized several days ago under a search warrant obtain ei by Hammond. were the subject of q municipal court hearing today. It is Hammond's contention that the near beer. being a malt beverage. comes under the intoxicating liquor restriction of the state prohibition law
 Letters have been mailed by Ham, mond 10 all railroad companies op- erating in Iowa warning them that legal steps would be taken to pre- vent near beer shipments into the state and that mo quarter" would be shown.

during the world war?
 A. No. Much of the picture was filmed in Texas, near San Antonio.
 c. What is gravity?
 A. The accelerating tendency of bodies toward the center of the earth. being equal to the earth's at traction, minus the centrifugal forces arising from the rotation of the earth on its axis.
 Q. Is the inside of a watermelon red before it is cut open?
 A. Color is a sensation produced on the eye by reflected light. The color on the inside of watermelon does not exist unless rays of light are admitted and reflected to an eye to produce the sensation known as red. Therefore, it may be said. that the red color does not exist until the inside of a watermelon is exposed to the light by being cut open.
 Q. How much water does a tree require?
 A. An estimate made in Austria about 50 years ago showed roughly that 400 10 500 pounds of water is cvaporated by elms for every pound of leaf substance. Pine trees con- s'me the lowest amount of water. birch and beech are among the highest consumers.

 Struggled In at Another Point

Windsor, Ont. June .6 Cana dian Prem)-Canadian customs re- turns for the current month should show . significant drop in the ex- ports of liquor from the Essex bor- der docks according to reports Of the United States authorities.
 Imports at the one-time notorious liquor receiving depot of Ecorss have been cut to a fraction, ,vc- cording to customs patrols. while the occasional rum boat on the American side of the Detroit river is more or less of an oddity these nights, they say.

 But this situation is to be reme- died as speedily as possible. &C., cording to the plans of the prohi- bition enforcement agencies. More than 50 boats of all descriptions are to be in service by July 1. it was reported. ranging in type from launches for use in shallow chan nels. to the 70 foot speed boats carrying one pound guns and useful for long chases.
 Radio to Re Used
 The new rum chasing fleet is to be directed by radio from a secret headquarters down river, it is said Reports are to be submitted at in. tervals, day and night. from both American and Canadian sides of the Detroit river. and the govern ment boats can get under way in pursuit of suspected craft as alarms are broadcast.
 The strength of the dry" navy after July is to be: 14 of the coast guard 75 foot cruisers. If of the customs border patrol boats. eight coast guard boats. eight coast guard boats of the 42 foot class. and IT coast guard boats of the 20 and 36 foot calibre, a total of 53.

Italian Races Swede Around Globe

Scandinavian Insists Jeff Ericson Explorer of West 300 Friends Greet First Traveller on Return

New York. June .6 UP)-Raf- faele Maiullari has given $2,0O0, 27 days of his time, and 30 pounds of his flesh to dash around the world in order that Italians the world over may rest assured that Christopher Columbus discovered America.
 Somewhere in China, Charlie Olsen Swede. is sprinting iowa, 1 the Bronx. determined that al, Scandinavans can boast that Loii, Ericsson beat Columbus to it. Charlie started six days behind Raffaele, who arrived last night. so it is still pos sible that the blond Morales may emerge triumphant.
 3O9 Greet Him On Return
 Three hundred Italians gathered in Grand Central terminal to rend the ceiling with their cheers as Raqaele, one vast smile. dropped off a train and collected a kiss from his wife. Ordinarily Raffaele is an ice man, but when the argument about Columbus and Jeff Ericsson arose in the Bronx. he dropped his tongs and started around the world in de- fense of historical accuracy and the honor of Italy.
 Raffaele said he was glad to be home even if he did find his three room apartment jammed with ad- mirers who embafra ssed him by in- Quiring about the sights he had sean. It developed that Raffaele had not seen many sights because he was concentrating on speed. In fact. it was not until newspaper men worked out the puzzle by putting together his railroad ticket stubs and steam
