Onions and Turnips Should
Be Eaten Very Literally
Medical Experts Give These Lowly
Vegetables High Rank as
Healthy Food

st. Paul, Oct. 30-The lowly tur-
nip and the onion were given a
rank in the food diet high above
the fancy cakes and salads, by the
health committee of the Minneso-
ia State Medical Association today.
Some old-fashioned vegetable dish
es would become popular if the
medical profession had it's way.
Don't despise the turnip and the
onion when picking your food" de-
clares the statement in announcing
a number of rules for healthful
eating. Fearing that suggestion
might not be sufficient the health
committee added:
adopt a cosmopolitan menu
become acquainted with goulash,
Irish stew, pigs knuckles and saul
erkraut and ragout with vege-
tables"
The statement declares that
many people eat continuously the
same things with little variation
and points out that some of the
symptoms of a lack of appetite
come from "monotonous diet" II
declares that so far as health is
concerned, the cheaper cuts OF
meat cooked with vegetables are
better than diet of steaks and
chops"
MANY people are so fond of meat
that they will not eat vegetables OF
other good foods while meat is al
hand. It is not complete food
The common types Of meat in
America are lacking in some OF
the vitamins and in some of the
minerals which go to make SOUND
teeth and bones, and which form
part of our resistance to disease
These vitamins and mineral salts
are furnished by the plant foods
particularly in fruits and the. greer
vegetables.

FEATURES OF MODEL a. FORD
Theft Proof Ignition Lock with Which
the New Ford is Equipped

One of the features of the new
Model "A Ford car which is handled
and serviced BY Ennis and Deakyne,
Smyrna, is the theft-proof ignition
lock with which it is equipped. Many
automobile ignition locks, designed to
lock the switch against theft Of the
car, have been little or no safeguard
against the celver thief with some
knowledge Of automobile ignition sys-
TENS. The thief could simply reach
behind the instrument board, cut the
wires back of the switch and make
new circuit on which the ignition sys-
tenn would operate perfectly. This
cannot be done on the new Ford, be-
cause the wires run direct from the
switch into an armored conduit which
is integral with the dash. In order
to tamper with the switch the thief
would either have to take the instru-
ment board to pieces or cut the steel
dash or armored conduit. Except un-
der the most extraordinary circum-
stances, no thief would have the tools,
the time or the freedom from posi-
BILE interruption necessary to the COM
pletion of such a difficult and tedious
task. This new Ford lock performs
two operations at once. 1t opens the
ignition circuit and grounds the dis
tributof at the same time. Another
advantage is that, being concerned
entirely with the ignition system, it
provides protection against theft with
out in any manner interfering with
the mechanical car controls, such as
transmission or steering.

HEADLIGHTS CAUSE ACCIDENT
Dazzling Rays of Headlights Respon-
sible For Many Auto Accidents

The "blind period" that follows inn
mediately after a motorist has been
exposed to the dazzling rays of head
lights not in proper focus is respon-
sible for many automobile accidents,
according to Charles E. Grubb, Direc-
tor of the Delaware Automobile As
sociation, A. NJ. A., 18th and West
streets, Wilmington. Danger from
glaring headlights cannot be over
emphasized" said Mr.. Grubb. ''Very
few motorists realize that while the
blind period lasts they are covering
from SO to rs feet of highway, de-
pending upon the speed of their car
at the moment the glare strikes. A
car travelling at the very moderate
rate of 25 miles an hour covers al
most 81 feet per second and it is not
uncommon for the "blind period to
extend over two and sometimes three
seconds, depending upon the intensity
of the light projected into the eyes.
This explains many night accidents,
particularly the running down of ped
eSIIIdHS dIoHg the highways. walk
ers make the mistake of thinking they
are in plain view of the driver, be-
cause his own light beams shine on
them, whereas in many instances his
eyes have not recovered from the
glare shock in time to avert accident
While the problem will never be solv-
ed until every individual motorists
makes it a matter of personal duty
to keep his headlights in proper focus
the knowledge of danger ought tc
have a SOLDERING effect on the careless
car owner and contribute in no small
degree to the ultimate bainshment OF
the headlight menace"

Christian Science Churches

"Christian Science" was the subject
of the Lesson Sermon in all Churches

has made bare his holy arm in the
eyes Of all the nations: and all the

Among the citations which comprised
the Lesson-Sermon was the following
from the Bible: "The people that
walked in darkness have seen great
light; they that dwell in the land Of
the shadow Of death, upon them hath
the light shined" Isaiah 9-2). The
Lesson-Sermon also included the fol-
lowing passages from the Christian

CHEESE AS A LUNCHEON DISH
Food Facts By Ann Page, Director
A & p Bureau of Home Economics

Cheese is one of those things which
the housewife falls back upon to make
a main luncheon dish. She is almost
sure to keep on hand a pound or two
of American cheese which is ready to
be made into any number of interest
ing and savcry dishes. Most of them
can be mode ready in a short time as
all cheese dishes ask for short cook
ing-just long enough to melt and
mix. One of the very incest and cas-
lest of these needs no utensils for its
preparation except the dish in which
it is baked and one fork for the mix
ing. Shred about half a pound of
cheese into a deep pie pan with a
fork Sprinkle with salt, paprika,
and mustard. Break one egg over
this and pour in enough milk to al
most cover the cheese. Mix egg, milk
and seasonings through the cheese
with fork. Bake in a moderate oven
357 degrees F., about twenty minutes
unity cheese is melted and slightly
brown on top. Another delicious
cheese dish is made by combining
cheese with tomatoes and bacon. Re
move the crust from slices of bread,
cut one-third inch thick. On each
slice place a slice Of cheese one-eighth
inch thick, springle with paprika and
salt and over this put slice of toma-
to cut one inch thick. Sprinkle the
tomato with a little chopped onion,
salt and pepper. Bake in hot oven
about ten minutes until the cheese is
melted and the onion slightly brown.
Here is another quick luncheon dish,
cheese fritters. If you haven't the
corn mush already made you can use
left over oatmeal or wheat cereal.
All one-fourth cup of flour sifted with
one teaspoon baking powder and one
teaspoon salt to two cups Of mush.
All one cup of grated cheese and one
egg. Drop by spoonfuls on a hot
griddle and fry on both sides. | won

cults which are 50 delicious either
with salad or used as a desert with
jelly? This is a variation of an or
binary biscuit dough-. Mix and sift
two cups, of flour, three teaspoons of
baking powder and one-half teaspoon
salt. Rub in three tablespoons fat
and add enough milk (one-half to one
cup) to make dough thick enough to

Stuffed celery is used either as a

used in its preparation. BY strained

been rubbed through a strainer. Fill

of cream cheese mixed with one pi-

peppers or canned pimientos with
cream cheese well seasoned with pap
rika and salt. Cut into slices, arrange
on a bed Of lettuce and serve with
French or spicy dressing.

questioned regarding the cuts, he said
the one that severed the jugular vein
was a clean one, as though made by
a surgeons instrument, and one on
the wrist was Of the jagged type.
When Coroner Nichols asked him if he
saw the broken windshield, he replied
he saw it the next day at a garage
where the car was taken. The testi-
mony Of Officer Knect corroborated
that of Policeman Sullivan, the only
addition of the last witness being that

The family bade him goodbye
and left him, but had hardly reached
the gate when he came pounding
after. He flung his arms about

heard him laugh with a boyishness
she had never associated with him.
She heard him blow his nose with
a blast that might have shaken a
wall in Jericho.
A sneaking side glance showed
her that his eyes were dripping.
And when the applause broke out
at the finish of the picture, she
heard his great hands making the
loudest thwacks of all. This was
heartbreaking bliss for her.
