The Soviet government has offered
every assistance to Senator Borah in an
effort to identify the forger of docu-

and Senator Norris received 100000
each from the Soviet for services in
behalf of American recognition of that
government.
The cablegrams from Maxim Litvin-

When informed of the forged docu-

which investigated them, Senator Borah
expressed the hope that the State De-
partment would communicate with the
Soviet government in an effort to find
the forgers, who are believed to be in

However, pending the disposition Of

CONSTIPATION IS
| PLAGUE OF RACE
Eat Fruits and Vegetables
Properly Favored

The papers are full of state
ments and theories about con-
Stipation-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 900 of consti-
patton is due to lack of rough
age in the diet. Eat bran,
cereals, and fruits and vege-
tables, 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
fiavors are developed by the use
of sugar. He spoke of how hard
it is to get children to eat
cereals, so beneficial in their
diet, unless they are properly
sweetened. He asked us to re-
member how many healthful
fruits would be unpleasant To
the taste without softening the
/ fruit acids and developing their
remarkable fiavorS with sugar.
We should put it down as a
safe rule of health that all hu'-
man beings living in the civil
lied world today need plenty Of
fruit and vegetable fiber in
their daily diet. Sugar, by
making nearly all such diets
pleasant to taste and easy to
eat, is the one dependable aid to
the eating Of roughage.
There is no substitute for sugar
in the normal diet. Sugar is Ma
lures ideal flavor for healthful
foods. Eat the things you need and
enjoy them. The Sugar Institute

Chicago wheat afterward showed
slight general sag. Corn and oats were
relatively firm, with corn starting "a

downward.
Increased Argentine wheat offerings
to Europe at cheaper prices tended to
put wheat bulls at disadvantage here

wheat from Argentina last week were
announced as larger than for either the

the Liverpool wheat market today in
