QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Non-Catarrh-producing Foods
Question: Mrs. j. H. writes:
Please name the foods that are nom
catarrh.producing. I have e cold in
the head all winter. l may have
chronic catarrh. If so, can diet cure
this trouble?"
Answer: You can use all of the
ncn-Starchy vegetables and fruits
without producing any excessive "a
tarrhal mucus. All of the foods high
In calory value. as the starchcs. su-
gars and proteins may BE- said to b.
catarrh.producing If used In large
quantities. The hydrocarbons. that
is. the fats and oils, also contribute
their share in adding to the toxins
which irritate the mucous membranes
and produce catarrh. The best dict
for you to take Is one free from
starches, sugars and fats, but with a
small amount Of portein and plenty
of non-starchy vegetables.

Question: A. d. asks: rs the old
fashioned remedy composed Of sui.
phur and molasses good for the blood
If Sc. how often and how much shoule
be taken?"
Answer: The sulphur and molassas
treatment is no doubt effective in re.
moving some intestinal toxemias. but

Baby Has Rash
Question: Mother writes: For the
last four Or five weeks my baby, five
months old, has been breaking out III
a rash. It seems to come on during
the night. The doctor does not seem
to know what it is. His diet is
pint Of water each day, with a little
sugar in it."
Answer: I don't blame your baby
for having a rash If you dilute his
milk So much and put sugar into IL
also. Give him four ounces Of pure
Holstein cows milk every four hours,
and do not dilute the milk or pat
anything in it. Just before each
feeding give him a teaspoonful or two
Of pure orange juice.

chosen from the arts. theater. the
medical profession and the municipal

And her reply when asked what she
expected to do about her laurels was:
I'D like to get in to the movies. I'd
rather have a career than get mar

Wasteful Economy

Modern industry has no greater foe than the executive
VINO has shoyt-sientcd ideas about economy.
This is the conclusion reached by Charles F. Abbott.
executive director Of the American Institute OF Steel Con-
struction. in a speech before the National Industrial Ad-
vertisers' association at Cincinnati.
Industrialists, said MIR. Abbott, must realize that true
economy often lies III spending money freely. while the
worst waste Is that caused BY a tight listed and pcnurious
policy.
we must lift up an entire industry toward a higher
average IN teois, methods and business principles" he
said. we arc willing to spend money to accomplish it,
a Great deal OF money, individually and collectively. That
is courageous and creative spending, the craftsmanship of
and genuine progress

LEWES-CAPE MAY FERRY SOON
Both Delaware and New Jersey Lay
ing Plans to Start PrOject-GOver-
nor Buck Signs Bill for $4,000

Establishment of ferry service be-
tween Cape May Point and Lewes,
Delaware, across twelve miles of Del
| aware bay, now seems to be a possibil-
ity as the result of a conference be-
tween a delegation of business men
from the lower Delaware Peninsula
and Cape May county, New Jersey
and the New Jersey Senate recently.
The Legislature is expected to adopt
the measure sponsored by Senator
Charles C. Read, of Cape May, author
izing the New Jersey State Highway
Commission to acquire for the state
the necessary land for the construction
of wharves and piers at Cape May
Point. The bill passed the New Jer-
sey Senate yesterday. The delega-
tion, headed by Joseph F. Mac
Sweeney, of Rehoboth Beach, urged
the Senate to adopt the mea-
sure at once to STRAIT the project.
A similar measure appropriating $780,
900 for the work on the Delaware side
has been signed by Governor Buck of
Delaware Operations of the ferry
across Delaware Bay, considered "the
biggest thing in Delaware" according
to the spokesman, would not only add
another route to the southland from
New York and points North, but
would save 185 miles for motorists de-
string to avoid the traffic centers of
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton. Residents of Cape May county,
as well as the residents of Delaware,
are anxious to have the ferry service
in that section, Senator Read pointed
in order to complete the State high
way route into Delaware. Several re-
liable shipping concerns are anxious
to furnish the ferry service across the
bay, the Senate was told, and one
has guaranteed the construc-
ton Of a specially equipped seagoing
ferry boat to furnish transportation |
service after both states construct I
Wharves. The delegates also told the |
Senate members that the Delaware /
in Congress have
guaranteed a Federal appropriation Of
100000 for the dredging of channel |

FRUIT IS UNINJURED BY FROST
Down State Farmers Believe Straw
berries Will Be on By May Is

Notwithstanding the recent cold
spell which brought frost one or two
nights, it is the concensus of opinion
of fruit growers and agriculturists
generally that neither peaches. apples
nor Strawberries are in any way in
jured. As to strawberries, there is a
feeling among the more prominent
growers that possibly those blossoms
far advanced during the warm spell of
some weeks back, and which were in
bloom when the cold snap struck the
Peninsula two weeks ago, might have
been slipped and injured to some ex-
tent but the later blossoms coming on
rae more plentiful than the first lot.
According to w. 7. Derickson, Direc-
tor Of State Bureau of Markets, Del
aware berries will be ready for mark
eting on or about May Is. A large
crop is anticipated and from indica-
tions they will be Of unusual size and
flavor. Peaches are considered as hav-
ing passed the danger period and
full crop is looked for.
