Your Health

4 LONG with the proteins go the carbohydrates
L n in your daily food One is just as important
the other, in the maintenance of healthy body.
But while the protens provide the tissue building
material the carbohydrates furnish the necessary
energy, in the form of sugars and starches.
Carbohydrates are really sugars and starches
The sugars are the chief source of energy for the
human body.
person requires daily intake of from $50 to
500 grams of sugar day. No one has found out
the minimum amount of sugar he can take and
still live, but in general it is believed to be wise not
to reduce the amount of sugar below 100 grams, or
about quarter of pound, daily for any length of
time
very small amounts Of carbohydrates some as little
as IS grams of sugar daily. Anybody on such a diet
should be under the constant care of physician.
XNTHEN eat carbohydrates digestion of the
w starches is begun by the saliva and digestion
OF the sugars is completed in the intestineS.
There are certain sugars which apparently are
not used by the body. But they may have some
value in giving bulk TO the diet or in promoting
action to the bowel.
Sometimes sugars are necessary to provide ma
terialS for organisms bacteria which live in the
bowel and which are useful to mankind
There has been some argument as to whether
should eat refined sugars or raw sugars the claim
being that the raw sugars have more food value
because they contain some minerals. But since these
mineral substances also available in other ways
most authorities do not favor the view that the eat
ing of refined sugar is in any way harmful
Some of the sugar We take into our body is
changed into fat and stored in the body in that
form.

Patriots Explain q MYSTERY

THE gracious and orderly behavior of the people
Il is in such sharp contrast to the occasional re-
currence of italian in the criminal records
OF the United States that the difference in character
Is puzzle until the Italians explain that in the
years gone by for long time they had regarded the
United States IS a sort of Botany Bay and shipped
us thousands OF their worst characters along with
the honest laborers who to lay railroads and
build bridges.
But, then, having explained how warm-hearted
they are, the Italians go on to insist that they are

like people, with great national ambitions who will
fight any one who tries to interfere There is evil

Today's Science

NEW YORK, Dec. 19-Astronomers are looking
v forward to that exciting moment when they
will get their first look through the new 200-inch
telescope. The day is probably a couple of years
away Tor 1t will take that long grind and polish
the big block of glass which has just been removed
from the annealing furnace at Corning, N Y.
But, after the first thrill Of looking through the
telescope is over astronomers will spend little time
gazing through the big glass. Today big telescope
Is really camera.
Most Of the time the eyepiece of the telescope
is replaced with plate-holder which contains a
Photographic plate. The astronomer looks through

More points are lost in bridge

Move Now Aoo Congress TO Take West Point and Annapolis
Appointments Out Of Politics. Put Selections on Open Competition

INSTANCES are recited of cam
Il didates establishing residence
in a congressional district between
breakfast and lunch.
Mr.. Lewis said much of the
chance for abuse would be cut
off by a requirement that con-
gressmen select their candidates
from young men of their districts
who have made the best marks in
open competitive examinations. He
would have the Civil Service Com
mission conduct the tests.
Under his plan, appointments
to West Point and Annapolis
would be automatic. Favoritism
on political or other grounds,
such as the occasional practice of
congressman naming their own
sons for a four-year higher educa-
ton at public expense, would be
prevented.
Rep. Robert L. Ramsay Cd, w.
Va Endorsed Mr.. Lewis idea, and
said he would favor adding to it
a requirement for strict physical
examination of candidates in adj

NTASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The
w conviction of California
congressman and his son on
charges of conspiring to sell
West Point appointment for $1,000
has prompted Rep. David j. Lewis
Cd, Md to propose a new system
of choosing candidates for the
military and naval academies.
Mr.. Lewis said he was planning
to Introduce bill requiring COM
petitive examinations for would
be cadets and midshipmen before
they can be designated by Rep
resentatives Or Senators. Two of
his colleagues supported the
move.
At present, the War and Navy
Departments can not question the
selections made on Capitol Hill.
While a congresSman's nominees
are supposed to be residents of his
district, no investigation is made.
Hence it is a simple matter for a
congressman to name a candidate
from another district or state.

to fight war of liberation and admit that he was
licked. Italy would have been worse off than ever
If he had done that, and dictator has held his
power by always going forward and never giving
inch
Still, if he had tackled England the Italian task
would have been just too big and the Italian people
probably won't realize for time what beauti-
full favor the English did them when they decided
that the issue wasn't worth fighting for now
England's case is the old story of the racketeer
who got his and tried to turn square but wasn't
allowed to. Now the British are involved in the
Abyssinian job as deeply their old partner for
they have undertaken to do by diplomacy precisely
the same thing in principle what the Italians set out
to do by force.
It's just as bad to steal one acre in Abyssnia by
diplomatic action as to steal whole country at the
point of bayonet even though the bayonets may be
carried by hired African troops and Italian beraors
may generously remain in the rear permitting them
to reap the honors

Pencils. Matches. Water jug.
Three books. A financial journal.
A junk-shop? No, just the
Presidents desk on a busy
morning, and only part of the
strange collection on it at that.
A red toy automobile, a radio,
two packages of chewing-gum and
two "flat fifty packages of
cigarets, both open. These are
some of the things on Secretary of
Treasury Henry Morgenthau's
desk.
Four hand phones, a statuette
Of Paddy pushing a wheelbarrow,
four fountain pens and a marble
clock which is stopped, are the
high points of Postmaster General
James A. Farley's desk.
But to give a proper picture of
these important government rec
tangles a more complete census is
necessary. All three, despite the
tumble of playthings, give an i'm
preston that things are under
control. Documents are neatly
stacked and basketed.

in general and has been demo-
cratic because it has brought in
boys from every geographical and

Trinity Chapel, New York, announced
Sunday that he would decline the posi-
ton of Bishop of Vermont, to which
he was recently elected, and remain in

Trinity Chapel, Twenty-fifth Street
west of Broadway, N. Y.

full and very prayerful thought. A call
to the episcopate demands the most
serious consideration. Sacrifices were
inevitable no matter what I decided
to do, but from the beginning I have
tried very earnestly to put aside any
personal preferences I might have. In
the light Of the fullest information
and the wisest advice I have been able
to obtain I have decided to decline
the call to Vermont and to remain
here.

displays of breeding, stocks, eggs,
chicks and dressed poultry, emphasis
will be placed upon the producing, dis

the aim of showing poultrymen the
newest equipment and methods, and
at the same time demonstrating to
the consumer the various steps taken
to assure him of the best quality

State departments of agriculture,
as well as the extension divisions of
State agricultural colleges and state

respective states, with demonstrations
of feeding, health protection, breed

practical demonstrations by State au-

eggs, like milk, contain the essential

Another feature will be lecture
