a citation to the Honor Roll Of the

"All captains should make a close
study Of the accident situation in
their respective counties and send
in recommendations for improve
ments on the highways, signs, paint
ing of roads, etc. The Bureau OF
Research, Statistics and Traffic
Safety may be called upon for as
sistance and we at Sacramento will

BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

NEARLY all varieties of fruit
are such excellent natural tom
les for the appetite that it's a good
plan to include them regularly in
the spring dietary.
Oranges and grape fruit are at
their best just now and are an
economical source of both vitamins
and mineral constituents. An abun-
dance OF oranges may make up for
lack of fresh vegetables. So ii
members of family are bit "dif-
ficult" about vegetables. why not
let them get their necessary nutri-
ents from the popular fruit?
Fruit stimulates the appetite.
increases the flow of digestive
juices, aids in the elimination of
waste, and counteracts the forma-
tion of acids due to eating a large
quantity of protein. In addition
to these virtues. fruit stimulates
the flow of an alkaline saliva which
helps to prevent tooth decay. All
these qualities make fruit an ideal
food with which to begin or end
q meal.
Fruit cups, fruit salads and fruit
desserts make ii possible to intro
duce fruit into our daily meals
without danger of monotony. Or
ange juice for breakfast, sliced or
anges and bananas for luncheon
dessert and grapefruit dinner
salad suggest no repetition Of
foods even if they appear all on
the same day.
Keep in mind that the iron con-
tent is associated with the pulp of
the fruit and not with juice. Or
ange juice contains only a small
part of the iron in the fruit. The
pulp of fruit also supplies some
roughage 10 the diet.

Douglass Buck, wife of the Gov
ernor of Delaware, have each Offer

May II, 1881
HON. u. douglass buCh,

fifty dollars ($5O) in gold for:
81. The best-kept farm and

hoboth via Milford.

MAY ABANDON ARMY POSTS
Speculation Rife As to Whether
Delaware Area Will Be Affected

The reported plan of the Govern
of army posts, especially along the
eastern seaboard for economic rea-
sons, is causing some speculation
as to how the decision may effect
Forts DUPONT, Mott and Sauls-
bury on the Delaware river and
bay. While no specific orders have
been issued or probably determin-
ed on as yet by the government
following the conference between
President Hoover and War Depart
ment officials on the subject, it is
understood to be the plan should
the idea of abandoning some forts
be carried out to close only those
of minor military value. 1t is felt
that Fort DUPONT especially could
not be placed in the list of minor
posts because of the fact that it
guards the Delaware river end of
the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal and therefore is looked on as
fort of major Importance. Fort
Mott is on the New Jersey side of
the river almost opposite Fort Du-
Pont and while probably of not as
much military value yet is an i'm
portant post. Fort Salisbury is
located at Cedar Beach almost op-
posite Milford at the head of the
Delaware Bay and was designed to
protect the entrance of the bay, its
guns being capable of defending
the breakwater entrance from in
vading ships. AS far as could be
learned no word whatever has been
received at any of the forts on the
subject and probably would not be
until some definite action is taken
by the government.
