Do You Want to
 Reduce or Gain?

Eat what you want. after you have eaten what you should.
 Sedentary workers should con- centrate first on certain foods which are so richly endowed by nature that they can correct prac- ticalIy all of our dietary faults if they are eaten in generous quanti- ties. These protective foods are milk, leafy vegetables. and fruit. When you give them a prominent (but not exclusive) place in your daily diet--and supplement them with sunshine, cod-liver oil or some other source of vitamin D. you have taken out valuable health insurance without punishing your- self,
 The time to reduce is when you first discover that you are adding weight. A little restraint then Is much less painful than the drastic dieting and exercise which may be necessary later on.
 Eat enough so that you are not distracted by hunger between meals but do not eat much that your faculties become dulled.
 To gain weight it is necessary to eat and assimilate about a third more food than is required for en- ergy or work. Foods rich in fat (bacon, butter, cream, nuts, salad oil and cheese) are valuable addi- tions to a fattening diet. It is of ten we'll to take extra nourishment after luncheon and before going to bed at night. Matted milk-plain or chocolate fiavored-is excellent for this purpose.
 Since the luncheon table is "a favorite place for indulgence, these ! simple menus are given as a guide: Vegetable or chicken soup. two l soda crackers, lettuce and tomato salad, one roll. buttermilk. Tomato juice cocktail, fruit salad, one roll, skim milk. Broiled fish with lemon string beans, crisp roll, butter milk, fruit gelatine. A glass of or ange, juice, cottage cheese and let tuce salad, muffin, skim milk By Dr E. V. McCollum in McCalrs Magazine for March.

ing the idea. An experiment that would have been derided in 1928 or 1929 has become 1933's success in providing self-relief at less than charity prices.
 Yet the penny restaurant is not precisely an experiment.. Thirty years ago it's practicability was demonstrated by Bernarr Macfad- den, the physical culturist and pub fisher now turned philantrropist, who for six years ran an experi- mental penny restaurant in New York city without losing money for the period. The first penny restau- rant operated in downtown New York through the depression of 1907.
 Introduced by Bernarr Macfadden The idea behind the original ex- pertinent was resurrected by MT Macfadden slightly more than a year ago in the belief that he could make an effective contribu- ton to relief of the distressed and unemployed by operating penny restaurants even if they showed losses. Having created the Bernarr Macfadden foundation for philan- hropic purposes, he turned the penny restaurant job over to that organization, which is now feeding 15,000 persons a day in four pen nyterias-and the foundation Is continually studying sites for addit- ional restaurants and, sending it's general plans and details of oper- ating procedure to civic groups in other cities where interest has been shown in the penny restaurant idea as a means of relief.
 The foundation's experts have proved that price is no index to the quality of the meal. The soups, cooked for hours in double boilers, and the coffee, made every few minutes of the best standard brands, have the reputation of be- ing the best in the city. The spe- cialty at one cent dish, a cracked wheat cereal so favored as a breakfast food by the late Calvin Coolidge, has great gastronomic vedsatality-it can be an entre des- sert or a whole meal, depending upon the trimmings.

Weather conditions also innuenea the menu.
 With the coming of spring, pan@ cakes lose some of their populart ity. Heavy cereals and hot muk4 fins can be replaced by lighted seS reals and toast. Rice makes a sat< isfactory cereal for an occasional breakfast. Eggs are especially suit< ed to the spring, since they are less expensive at this season. Fresh fish are plentiful during the spring months are are quickly cookod@ Smoked and salted fish always ara available are are savory and ape petizing.
 Mist households take fruit for granted on the breakfast menu these days. so the home-maker us- ually serves it to please individual tastes.
 The early spring breakfast can be given interest by the introduce ton of certain salad vegetables. Curly endive served with bacons water-cress with cured or fresh fish. spinach with poached egg. sliced tomatoes with crisp toast and bacon, breakfast radishes and carrot straws are a few sugges- tions for serving vegetables for breakfast.

We still want to get as much good food for as low a price as possible, and this dinner will cost. in most places. only twenty five cents per person.

STATE SENATE
REFUSES BEER
Kills House Measure for State
Wide Sale of Beer by
V8te of II to !
OUTCOME IS DOUBTFUL

Expressing the belief that one Of
the House amendments to the
Schroeder bill to legalize the sale
of 3.2 per cent beer in Wilmington
was unconstitutional, the Senate
yesterday afternoon rejected the
amendment and ordered the bill re-
turned to the lower branch of the
Legislature for further considera-
ton. The House had adjourned
before the proposed act could be
delivered there, but it is understood
1t may be called up for action to-
day. Its fate now is doubtful.
When it was passed Monday with
ten amendments the Senate had at
tached to it and three others the
House adopted, several members
declared if it came back to the
House for further consideration
they would vote to kill it. The
questionable section had been pre-
sented by Representative Jones and
would have made the bill State
wide, that is, if it had been adopted
and the bill were approved by the
governor it would have been legal
TO sell beer in any part of the
State. Two other amendments the
House attached to the bill also
were defeated by the Senate be-
cause they were useless without
the Jones amendment. They pro-
vlded for a license fee for retailers
ana dispensers if the Statewide
clause had been made a part Of the
act. With the Senate and House
unable to agree, and the Legisla-
lure talking adjournment sine die,

Indications point to a production
of more than one third more wheat
than was harvested last year in
Delaware, but this amount is still
below the average production for
the period 1926-1930. The comput-
ed yield this year is 1,343,000 bush
els, compared to 908,000 last year
The estimates were made by the
United States Department of Agri-
tulture, Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, Division of Crop and
Livestock estimates at College
Park, Md. The same survey re-
ports that the condition of winter
wheat in Delaware on April 1, was
85 per cent, which is three per cent
lower than the reported condition
last December, according to Rich
ard c. Ross, agricultural statistic
ian for Delaware. The condition is
about the same as reported at the
same time last year. The condi-
ton of rye is reported "a per cent,
compared with 50 per cent last
year at this time, and while pas
lures have progressed slowly their
condition is reported to be four per
cent better than the same time last
year. The production of milk per
