Fruit, Bread
Needed for
Proper Diet
Be- Science serrice

Be- Science SerUice
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Milk and
its products; fruit or vegetables OF
both; and bread and other cheap
sources of calories, such as cereals
are the three groups of foods which
DR.. Henry c. Sherman of Columbia
university declares are essential to
save the child victim of depression
from lasting injury to their health
The ADVICE Of this eminent au-
thority OH nutrition was obtained
by the American Child Health Asso-
citation for the guidance of the many
mothers faced this winter with the
problem of what to feed their chill
dren when the family purse is nearly
empty and the ordinary standards
Of diet must consequently be sac
rificed.
When shortage of money forces
expenditure for food to an abnor-
mally low level, more than one
fifth, perhaps one-third, should be
spent for milk in some FORM" DR..
SHERMAN ADVISED.
Meats Least Important
One-fifth of the money should go
for fruit and vegetables if possible,
but the selection should be limited
to the cheaper sorts so as to get
the most food value for the money.
At least one-flfth OF the reduced
expenditure may well go for bread
stuffs and cheap forms of cereal
since a penny spent here will go
farthest to meet the actual pangS
Of hunger.
The remainder may be divided
one-flfth for meats, lish, eggs, and
one-fifth for fats, sugar and other
groceries, but these foods can be
omitted altogether if one gets
enough of milk in some form and
of fruits and vegetables to provide
the absolutely essential minerals and
vitamins, and enough breadstuff to
prevent actual weakness from hun
ger.
Besides cutting out altogether GER
tain classes of foods, DR.. Sherman
recommended further economy by
buying the cheapest forms among
the three essential food groups.
Milk Regarded Vital
A crisp green vegetable or a juicy
fruit may seem much preferable to
a potato. he pointed out, but the
potato or whatever is the cheapest
vegetable to be had, is much better
during an emergency than no fruit
or vegetable at all.
If the destitution is SO dire that
sacrifices must be made even among
the three bare essentials, one should
not be led by obvious hunger and
a starved appearance to let bread
crowd out milk, even though a
penny spent for bread goes farther
to still the pangs of hunger.
Such a course, DR.. Sherman
warned, might lead to the even
greater tragedy of the lifelong in
juries which result from the hid
den hunger" of the vitamin and
mineral deficiencies
These dietary recommendations
are designed to bring the children
through this emergency without
lifelong injury, so that even if they
weigh less than normal for time,
they will have basis of sound
bone and lean tissue which will
permit of complete nutritional re-
habilitation with the coming of bet
ter days.

Perhaps he has no grounds Tor ol-

when love is dead.
There is no use for me to tell you

At least, see other men! 1t is al
ways a mistake for woman who
wants to get married to conflne her
attentions to one man before she
is definitely engaged to him. If a
man sees no competition in the
offing, it isn't likely that he will tie
himself down when it is so much
easier and more comfortable to be
free.
But if he sees some chance OF
losing the woman who makes the
happiness of his life, this will stir
him to action, if anything will.
Dear Jane Jordan--I am interested in
a young man whom I like very much, but
he continually is getting too fresh with
me. Because 1 will not let him go too
far. he says that I am unnatural and
abnormal. He says that 1 affect him so
much that he just can't keep his hands
off of me. I do not know how to act,
and I do not know how to answer his
arguments. Do you think he is in love
with me9 YOUNG GIRL.
Dear Young Girl-No, he is not
in love. He is just in search OF a
pleasant little adventure. The way
to cure him is to convince him
what would be pleasure to him
really would cause you a great deal
of suffering. He doesn't want Suf-
fering. He wants fun. Show him
that you would expect him to marry
you and love you forever. And that
if he didn't you would cry and
scream and tell your father, who
would go after him with a shot
gun, or its equivalent. When he sees
that instead of being a passing
pleasure to him, you would be a
terrible nuisance, he either will pro-
pose to you at once, or drop you like

SOME HELP IS SEEN
FOR OIL PROBATION
Withdrawal of StanoIind
From East Texas Hailed
by Producers.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 23.-News
that the Stanolind Oil 81 Gas Co., a
subsidiary of the Standard Oil Co. OF
Indiana, had withdrawn as a buyer OF
crude oil in the East Texas field was
hailed with satisfaction by Oil men here
as favorable to the prora ton program
in that troublesome area.
1t is hoped that producers now will
find it possible to hold output within
the limits fixed by the Texas Railroad
Commission for the East Texas field.
Market DemOraIized.
Indications OF support are beginning
to appear in the refined oil markets OF
the Mid-Continent area. Slight ad-
vances have been made in the prices of
various gasolines 1t Is reported that
one of the largest distributors in the
country has placed orders for two or
three hundred cars of motor fuel.
Despite the apparent attempt at sup
port, the markets still are in a democrat
lied condition, both as far as crude oil
Is concerned and gasoline at the service
stations.
The marketing Of q third grade OF
gasoline has restored to several OF the
ldl bCl bAASJ
had lost wheA price cutters became
numerous. The introduction of the
cheaper gasoline, however, had the
effect of forcing the general level OF
gasoline prices to the price cutters level.
1t has proved effective, If somewhat
costly, to restore normal business to
the nationally advertised products. In
Oklahoma the third grade of gasoline
Is still available at 10 cents a gallon,
including a State tax of cents.
Better Conditions Seen.
Thus far attempts to restore better
prices are succeeding only when at
tempted in moderation. The spot
market for tank car gasoline has ad-
vanced one-quarter of a cent a gallon
and appears to be holding this gain,
but the advance of 2 cents a gallon at
the filling station by one interest at
several points in the Southwest has not
generally been met Nevertheless, it is
the opinion in well informed circles
that the beginning of June may bring
a better market.
Consumption of gasoline Is Satisfac-
tory, refiners and distributors say. Thus
far gain in excess of per cent over
the corresponding period of last year
has been found. In view of the reduc-
ton in operations as compared with this
time last year, and the lower level of
together with more cohesion
among competitive factions, the ele-
mentS necessary to bring about better
conditions are not lacking.

Our Flag Among Oldest.

Every one of the major powers Of
the earth has changed its flag, as well
as the form of government, at least
once and sometimes several times, since
Betsy Ross sewed the first Stars and
Stripes together. There are today only
three nations in the world, three small
countries, whose flags are older than
our own. These are Denmark, Switzer-
land and Holland. Old Glory is the
oldest flag flying anywhere on earth,
with the exception of these three.
