HOOVER REDUCES
BUDGET EXPENSE
Statement Shows That all De-
partments Will Have to
Curtail Activities
INTERESTING STATISTIC
Deficit Still Persists in Treas
ury - Reduces Demands
by $35O,0OO,OOO

Washington, Nov. 9-Executiye
departments Of the government
WIN have at leeast $3.50, 900, OOO, 900
less to spend during the next fiscal
year than they had expected.
Making his first public announce
ment OF the extent to which cur
taliment OF 1888 budgets had gone.
president Hoover figured this would
permit a drop of between $3.50, OOO.-
600 and $300.OOO,OOO in the total
submitted to congress, as compared
with the last
1t was the administrations partial
answer to the problem presented by
steadily mounting treasury deficit
and decreased revenues. No indica.
tlon has been given. however, as to
whether the complete answer will
include recommendations for a tax
increase.
The 1882 budget called for $685.
o42,411. The chief executives esti-
mate places the figures which will
be sent to the coming congress at
$3,632,64 AL.
Unless golden rains somewhere up
the river Of prosperity fill the treas
ury reservoirs, there Is littlel ike
lihood the $350,OOO,OOO will wash
away the deficit which has accumu-
lated this year.
1t has grown to more than $661,-
100000 with only a third of the
hscal year over. And its present
rate of expansion, it would be close
to $2,000,000,000 before July 1, 1882.
In addition, there is the sos, OO0,-
600 on the wrong side of the treas
ury ledger from the last fiscal year
a heritage from expenditures of
1920, 100000 and receipts Of only
$3,317, OOO,OOO
In studying taxation questions,
the administration has considered
the possibility of a modified sales
tax, revision of income taxes and
other possible revenue raising
means. It has maintained silence,
however, have said an increase
reached.
On the other hand quite few of
the senators and representatives
who would vote on tax legislation,
however, have salad an increase
was inevitable.
Mr.. Hoover also reiterated warn
ings in his statement late yester-
day against pressure upon the COM
ing congress for added appropria-
tions.
He departed from custom by elab.
Grating upon his prepared state
ment. It was difficult to compare
the last budget with the forthcon-
ing one, h said, because the form
err included funds for emergency
use to be spent over a considerable
period.
Apparently, the president has won
where there were differences with
departments over reductions. After
summer conferences with depart
mental heads il was said tn ere was
hope of saving some $t50,O00, 00C
next year. This figure has been
doubled.
There were no details of the $780,
000,000 mentioned in the president
statement. The war department ar
nounced Thursday it had reduced
its estimate by about 100000 and
the cut apparently has extended TO
all federal branches.

Individual Health Growth
Charts for the Children
Fresh Milk and Vegetable and
Plenty of Sleep Great Aids to
Growing oungsters 6

Boys and girls need no longer
depend on notches in the doorway
to show the added inches they have
grown. For the Minnesota Public
Health Association is distributing
individual growth charts on which
each school may record his growth
each month. It also shows exactly
how he stands in relation to the
normal child Of his age. This Is a
part Of the educational program
conducted by the state health or
SANITATION and is financed by the
annual sale of Christmas Seals.
Prepared by DIR. e. A. Meyerding,
executive secretary Of the Mime
sofa public Health Association, the
graphs include a height, weight,
and age table showing how mucn
a normal girl or boy should weigh
at each year of age, according to
his height.
The teachers supervises the use OF
the graph and instructs the pupils
in it's use. Interest of the students
is being stimulated in many schools
by correlating it with other sub
jects. In arithmetic, or example,
those who have studied percentage
are required to compute their own
weight percentage differences.
If the child's personal graph
shows a marked deviation from the
normal growth and weight his par
ents are advised to consult ply
stefan.
The growth graph also includes
few pertinent health rules which
the child may see every time he
marks on his graph. These include
the following:
Drink at least a pint Of past
eurized milk each day, but no
coffee or tea.
Eat some green vegetables and
fruit every day.
Sleep from 10 to II hours each
night with plenty Of fresh air.
Drink at least four glasses OF
water day.
Have a regular morning hour
for going to the toilet.
Take full bath at least once a
week and wash hands before
each meal.
Brush teeth at least twice
daily.
Play a part Of each day out Of
doors.
Eat a good breakfast each
morning.

UNFORTUNATE KIDDIE

Joseph Jean Butler, 2-year-old
son of Rev. and Mrs. J. D. Butler,
was brought home the latter part
of the week from Minneapolis
where he had been receiving treat
ment from a well known bone
specialist of the Flour City. From
birth the little fellows hip joints
were out Of place. Over a year ago
they were placed in casts which
were removed in July. Trouble de-
veloped again and his parents took
him down for further examination
and treatment. An X-Ray dis
closed that one of the hips had
slipped out of place again and he
was again put in casts. These will
be left on for several months and
if a cure is not effected an opera
ton will be necessary. The little
sufferer is bearing his affliction
with fine fortitude.
