THE problem of serving a whole
L some and hearty noon meal to
children faces many mothers. Even
though the family wants its heavy
meal in the evening, school chill
dTen must have a nourishing, sub
stantial luncheon at noon-time.
Since the modern rule is meat
only once a day, nourishing dish
concoeted without meat must be
provided for the noon meal if meat
is served at the family dinner.
Dishes of this sort, however, often
are rather tedious to make and are
not quickly and easily digested.
These factors must be kept in mind
when planning luncheon menus
for children.
Cream soups, of course, are the
standbys, but occasionally some
thing different is wanted. Savory
spinach is an ideal luncheon dish.
The combination of rice with spin

standpoint.

poison ivy growing near his dwelling
place. All such should get rid of the
nuisance Immediately. If it is in
small clumps, grubbing it out with
the spade is as good way as any,
taking due care to keep the feet and
legs and hands covered in the process.
Saturating it with a salt brine solu-
ton or with kerosene at intervals Of
week will kill the patch. Smother
ing it with tarred paper is also eff
fective. Various dangerous poisons
are on the market that will do the
work, the bulletin concludes. These
should be used with caution, especi-
ally if there are children.
Patients of known susceptibility
going out into the woods can be I'M
munized against the ivy.

APPREHENSION MAY
BE GLAND DISEASE

A new conception of the bodily dis
order popularity known as high blood
pressure" is interesting the medical
profession these days.
This new conception has not yet
brought to light a cure for the trouble
says today's bulletin on the subject
from the education committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Association.
But it has set study of this battling
condition on a track which may, any
day, bring startling developments.
High blood pressure or arterial
apprehension as it is technically
named, may be no more nor less than
an unbalance of the glands of internal
secretion" says the bulletin. Recent
studies made in America and Ger
many have made it seem likely that
deficiency in internal secretion hav-
ing 'depressor' qualities may be re-
sponsible for the trouble, or too much.
conversely of some substance which
brings about stimulation. Some such
mysterious substance seems to be re-
sponsible for the first change in the
w
ioles, which in a great number of
cases, seems to precede and bring
about an elevated blood pressure"
1t is we'll established, the bulletin
further points out that, nearly all
cases of chronic high blood pressure
are inherited. A child of parents
both afflicted with high blood pres
sure has little chance of escaping the
affliction. 1t is as much a part Of
his original inheritances as blue eyes
and dark hair. If this inheritance is
a glandular disorder, it is to be hoped
that some investigator will locate the
gland and identify the secretion re-
and its secretion were identified as
responsible, for goiter disease.
1.-The best treatment now in use
| involves getting rid of excess weight,
| rest, relaxation, cutting down the
fluid intake into the body as we'll
as use of certain drugs which arti-
ficially lower the blood pressure,
under the physicians direction"
1T is interesting to note" says the
bulletin, that high blood pressure is
as prevalent among the more leisurely
Europeans as among Americans. That
disposes of the popular misconception
that the pace of American life is re-
sponsible. High blood pressure is on
the increase in America. 1t probably
can be accounted for by the fact that
more Americans are living to the ages
beyond fifty when high blood pressure
is prevalent.

SEN. REGNIER
Newly Elected Campaign Manager Is
Prominent as Sponsor of Many
Beneficial Measures.
By AARON LITMAN

The Farmer-Labor party opened its
campaign guns this week, in the cleo
ton of Senator Emil l.. Regnier, of
Marshall, by the executive committee
of the State Central body of that party
as their Campaign Manager.
State Headquarters which opened
this week in St. Paul, will be located
nier will be in St. Paul during the
campaign.
Prominent in Farmer-Labor legisla-
ton during the last session of the
legislature, and sponsor of many
beneficial measures for the farmer,
Senator Regnier has been a staunch
supporter of progressive legislation.
Chairman of the Senate sub-com-
mittee of the investigation of the
states school situation and as a re-
suit added many measures to improve
the states educational system. Meas
ures to protect farmers and independ-
ent business men have been cham
pioned by Senator Regnier through
out his years of public service
In commenting on his election by
the committee to the helm in the
forthcoming campaign, Senator Reg
nier stated, 1.-THE platform of our
party is without a doubt the most
progressive ever drawn by state con-
vention body. Embodied in this plat
form are measures insuring aid to
the farmers, the laborer in the city
and to the great masses of the states
citizens who have been on the bot
tom of things.
ITO these principles embraced in
our platform will the fifteen candi-
dates on the Farmer-Labor state and
congressional ticket conduct their
campaign. Our party will not toll
crate any mudslinging campaign. The
merits of our platform will vouchsafe
the election of all our candidates by
big majorities.
Reports and sentiments coming to
me at this time from all corners of
the state indicate clearly the wish
of the people for Farmer-Labor gov
eminent in this state" Senator Reg
nier announced.
This campaign cannot be won by
enthusiasm alone" Senator Regnier
added, land everyone interested in the
party's candidates is urged to COM
municate with our headquarters, in
the arrangement for large volun-
teer committee to function with
county organizations and aid at speak
ing dates in all of the communities
throughout the state"
The next meeting of the executive
committee August 10, will include the
presence of all of the candidates.
The headquarters, Senator Regnier
stated will be the clearing house for
all speaking arrangements of all the
state and congressional candidates,

STUDY PATROL REPORT
FOR DRIVING SENSE

A highway bulletin summarizing
the report of the state highway patrol
for the month of June shows aid to
have been rendered to individual mo-
florists to the number of 1921 and
corrective action taken with regard
to other motorists to an extent which
prompts Commissioner C. M. Babcock
to suggest the study of the report by
the driving public as an aid to cor
rect usage Of the highways.
AS the primary aim of the state
highway patrol is that of assisting
motorists to reach their destinations
with the fullest possible measure of
ease and safety, the making of ar
rests is last and not first recourse.
Warnings were given to 1875 mo-
florists and because practically every
type of the infractiOns for which the
warnings were given could subject
the mOtOrist to arrest, the complete
list is given as follows: improper
license; improper passing; improper
parking; improper turn; improper
lights; improper brakes; improper sig
mailing; passing on curve; passing on
crest of hill; cutout open; stickers on
windshield; through stop-signs; one
arm driving; cutting in on traffic;
overweight trucks; not driving in cor
rect lane; faulty steering gear; soh-
citing rides; vendors on highway; de-
facing highway; speed in congested
area; livestock on highway; size of
load.
Tags requiring correction within 48
hours were given to 1888 motorists on
account of illegal equipment and other
irregularities of % different kinds as
follows: Illegal brakes; license swing
ing; license obscured; no windshield
wiper; no warning device; no rear
vision mirror; exhaust not muffled;
illegal tires; rear lamp not lighted;
license not Illuminated; one headlight
out; glazing lights; insufficient light;
lamps out of adjustment; illegal
lamps; no clearance lamps; faulty
steering gear; one license plate mis-
sing; no license plates; wrong license
plates; not having Minnesota license
plates; no visitors permit displayed;
not having chauffeur's license.
While arrests were few, totaling
only ia, the fines imposed on these
amounted to $4,000. The violations
for which arrests were made are
classified as-driving while drunk, 81;
improper use of licenses, 20; careless
driving, 1s; failure to stop for arterial
highway, 26.
Patrolmen attended a total of 80
accidents during the month, and in a
number of instances rendered first aid
to injured persons.
Many of the motorists to whom the
patrolmen found it necessary to give
attention were from other states, and
when it was felt that the purpose
would be served as we'll their atten-
ton was but brought to the infraction
of the law of which they were guilty;
but, where the safety of others was
at stake no greater consideration
could be given them than others,
Commissioner Babcock reports.
