Your Health
and Diet
By DR.. Logan Clendening

By DIR. Logan Clendening
The four fundamentals of
a healthy diet are: First, suf-

third, balance, and fourth,

deficient in bulk.
Vegetables star In bulk.
They leave a great deal of un-
digested residue - roughage -
which stimulates the intestines
and tends to overcome consti-
patton. OF only a few veg.

The infants digestive tract
is limited and entirely unsuited
to bulky foods such as veg

adults need concentrated foods

must supplement their vegeta.

year-old.
Diet of Aged
So vegetables become more
and more, as life advances, the
diet Of the middle-aged. This,
too, perhaps is instructive, be-
cause many physicians believe
they tend to prevent the de-
generative diseases of that per-
iod of life-high blood pres

generation etc.
Dietitians stress vegetables for

minis. The carbohydrates are
the fuel Of the body. Not the
only fuel, but the easily utilized
fuel-the highest gasoline. The
carbohydrates of vegetables are
in the form Of starches and not
SO simple chemically as the car
bohydrates Of fruits, which are
in the form of sugars.
Fine for Diabetes
Hence they have to go
through a process of simplifi-
cation by digestion to make
them utilizable. So far their
energy value is delivered to the
body slowly and gradually after
ingeStion. For this reason they
are the ideal foods for people
with diabetes and for those
who wish to reduce.
Few vegetables contain much
protein, which is an absolute es-
sential for any diet. Beans,
peas, corn, mushrooms and
artichokes have the highest pro.
tein content, and must be a
regular part of a strictly vege-
tartan diet. The vegetable diet
for this reason is a good one,
for those patients whose kidney
function is low and who carnot
eliminate proteins easily.

Correct
Manners
By Mrs. C. Beeckman

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am a married woman and
my husband and I buy our
furniture in place on Blank
Avenue. We have a salesman
and he Is very nice to- us.
Every time we buy anything in
that store-it makes no differ
ence how much we Spend-he
always gives me something for
my home for nothing, and the
things he gives me are always
worth between 81 and IS.
What I would like to know
is, would it be proper for me
to show my appreciation by
giving him box of cigars. But
first of all, I would like to
know if it is proper to give
him anything?
What would you advise?
THANK YOU.
Your impulse to make some
gesture Of appreciation to this
kind salesman is a very gen.
erouS one, and I should like
to have you act on it. I like
the idea Of the box of cigars,
If you are sure he smokes
cigars. And I suggest that you
have your husband give them
to him in both your names.
That would obviate all social
difficulties and be in the best
of taste.

Country Girls Problem
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been wondering If you
could help me. Last winter I
met a boy that I've grown very
fond Of. We've been CORE
spending for quite a long time.
Now haven't heard from him
for two months. Il think he has
forgotten me. What shall 1 do?
I have always lived in the
country and I've never had very
many friends. Losing his
friendship would mean quite a
lot to me. If you can help me,
I'll be forever grateful.
SEVENTEEN.
My dear, I do not think that
the young man has forgotten
you and he will probably write
you very soon to explain his
silence. Something may have
happened. But I do not think
you should stay in the back
ground, even if you do live in
the country. One friend at II
is not enough for a girl as nice
as you seem to be. You should
cultivate friends among the
girls in your community. Join
some organization, such as the
Grange or a church society.
Good luck to you!

pretty, yet not strikingly so,
and have a good disposition,
but I can't make the boys

could stand for hours at a dance
and not one boy would ask me
to dance. How can I make my

WONDERING.
First, I would advise you to
study the popular girls. Read
the newspapers and know what
is going on, especially in the
world of sports. When intro

him at his ease by asking him
if he cares for baseball, or foot

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

house, and took a great fancy
to one of the young men. I

him quite frequently. One day
he took me home from work
in his car and asked to see
me that night. I refused be.
cause I had another date, but
I did not tell him so. That
same evening the young man
I happened to be out with

home, and we were seen. Ever
since that night, this first
young man speaks coldly to
me or not at all. Will you
please tell me how I can bring

You made your first mistake
in not telling the young man
that you had q date that
night. Since you didn't do
that. you might explain, the
next time you see him, or you
might write him a note. These
little misunderstanding occur
sometimes, but if you are tact

Rains have NOT
ENDED DROUGHT
Conditions Only Relieved
During February.
By Science Service

By Science SerUice
WASHINGTON, March Feb
ruary rains have relieved, but not
ended, the unprecedented drought
conditions which have prevailed
over wide areas of the United
States as 6, result of the unusual
deficiency in rainfall during 1890
and January, 1881.
Reports to the United States
weather bureau for the first twenty
five days of February reveal that de-
spite the substantial heavy rains
falling early in the month over large
sections of the persistently dry areas
of the country, there still is a
moisture deficiency in many regions.
In the Ohio valley states the
rainfall for the twenty -hve-day pc
Rod was 20 to 80 per cent of nor
NAL. The middle and southern At
lantic states had less than half their
normal quota Of rain during this
same period. while the upper Mis-
sissippi region had less than one
fourth the average precipitation for
this period.
Normal to more than twice nor
NAL rainfall was enjoyed by Ten
nessee, southern Missouri, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Texas, however.

PRICES LOWER
Liverpool Shows Weak
Tone on Cheap Offerings
in Foreign Trade.

CHICAGO. March 2. - Wheat
opened fractionally lower on the
Board of Trade today. Liverpool
was easy owing TO cheap Canadian
and Argentine offerings, but was
steady at the decline. Prices were
unevenly lower with the deferred
deliveries responding to the weak
foreign tone. Corn was firm and
a small fraction higher. Deliveries
we're much smaller than expected
and the market was not subjected to
pressure. Oats were steady with
corn.
AT the opening old wheat was Y
cent lower. new wheat was * to
IS cent lower, corn was unchanged
to 4 cent higher and oats were IN
changed to Is cent up. Provisions
we're steady.
Liverpool Lower
Liverpool was about as expected
today being 4 to sc lower at mid
afternoon. The English market is
awaiting definite information as to
the farm boards export plan.
Sentiment remains mixed Low
prices are no inducement to take
the buying side. Private reports OF
farm reserves due this morning are
attracting unusual attention. The
estimates run around 1850 bushels
OF wheat still in farmers hands. Ii
it is larger it will be bearish and
indicate wheat feeding was smaller
than had been expected. Deliveries
on contract this morning wezs A.
072,000 bushels, which for the most
part went to the farm board, &C
cording to the gossip on the floor.
Estimate Is Farce
Estimates of corn on farms is
above 800,00O,000 bushels. which is
more than year ago, owing to the
lessening feeding as a result Of the
mild winter. The movement will
be fairly large for the present as
farmers need funds for taxes and
spring work.
Tie figures on oats on the farms
show 400,00O,000 bushels. This is not
expected to have much effect. as ii
has been largely discounted in the
recent declines. The market con
tinues to follow the trends in the
other grains. Deliveries were ONLY

LACK OF BIDS
STIRS HOOvER'S
IRE ON SHOALS
Opposition to Bill Added by
Complete Absence
of Offers.
By United Press


WASHINGTON. March 2.-PreSi-
dent Hoover has received no offer
of a bid to lease the Muscle Shoals
fertilizer plant, and expects none
before congress adjourns, 1t was
learned today at the White House.
The President has received no
communication from Henry Ford
who is being urged by Alabama
officials to bid, 1t was said.
Absence Of private offers for the
project was understood to have
heightened Mr.. Hoover's opposition
to the Muscle Shoals bill because
it increases the possibility the gov
eminent would have to operate the
project
The war department has not vet
completed its investigation of the
bill and there is little prospect of
Mr.. Hoover sending his expected
veto message to congress before
TUESDAY or Wednesday, the White
House indicated.
MIR. Hoover must await recon-
mendations from the department
before he can decide what action he
is going to take, 1t was said.
A similar delay likewise has
struck the third Wagner employ
ment bill, which likewise appears to
be marked for presidential disap-
prevail.
The labor department has been
unable to complete its inquiry into
the measure. The bill is subject to
pocket veto unless the President ex-
presses himself before noon March 4.
At the White House today, it was
said there was no indication wheth-
er Mr.. Hoover would be able to act
within the allotted time.
The bill provides a national sys-
tenn of employment agencies in CO.

eral government furnishing half the
funds and the states the other half.
