to curb the flood Of immigrants
and to Americanize those already

AS q part Of his program he
said the Government should regis
ter and fingerprint all resident
aliens and tighten immigration
laws to prevent citizens of Eth

quotas by entering the United

SISTER MARY'S MENU
BY MARY f.. DAGUE
NEA Spryice Sian Writer

NIANY Of our pet superstitions
wi about foods. cooking meth
obs and digestibilisy are being
shattered by scientific investiga-
tons and research.
% There are, of course. some per-
sons with whom certain foods do
not agree. When this is discovered
one should by all means avoid
those foods. But sometimes the
idiOsyncrasy is not real but fam
cied.
Persons who are in normal
health and do not Over-indulge
may enjoy almost any palatable
combination with no misgivings.
All authorities now agree that
fish and milk "are in perfect har-
mony, like all simple, wholesome
foods" | quote from an article
on this subject by famous physi-
clan and dietitian.
Taste Is Poor Guidc to Value
The taste Of food is no guide
TO its final reaction in the body
for is only after the system has
made use Of its fuel that the ma
ture OF the ash can can be deter
mined. Some foods after being
digested and utilized by the body
have an acid reaction in the blood
and others are alkaline. But you
cant tell by the taste. Thus al
though lemons are sour because
Of the organic acids they contain,
their effect is alkaline. Apples,
muskmelons, oranges and pOta-
toes have been found experiment.
ally to he very efficient in reduc-
ing body acidity.
The practice Of eating acid |
foods in the same meal with milk
or Of using milk or cream on
fruits has been condemned. How
ever, the acid is actually a help
rather than hindrance to milk
in digestion. 1t is common prac-
tice to beat orange or lemon juice
or tomato juice into milk or to
sour milk artiticially for persons
with weak digestion.
Pan cakes, waffles, mullins and
hot breads of all varieties are not

There is no island within. the
realms Of possibility where there
exists such a combination OF wind

Many small islands In the Pacific
are so small that It Is difficult to
Hnd a safe lee, and many Islands
are so steep that landing places
are difficult to find. Some Islands
also are fringed with reefs, max.
ing access except In small boats

but they have bad reputation
with many people. In the first
place they usually are eaten with
out proper maStiCation on account
of their sOftness. Then they often
are served with much butter and
syrup and the tendency is to eat
largely to the exclusion Of more
essential foods. Finally, they are
so inviting that they cause most
of us to Ovcreat. Eaten in no
larger amounts than plain cold
bread, with no greater amounts
of fat and sweet, and chewed
thoroughly, they should be as easy
to digest as cold bread.
Veal Fed TO InvalidS
Veal is no more indigeStible
than fish, chicken or beef. In
France it is given to invalids as
we give chicken in this country,
yet for years it has had the repu-
tatiOn of being Il very difficult
meat to digest. ;
OF course. the art Of cooking
enters into this question of diges-,
tibility. Improper cooking meth
DDS can ruin the digestibility as
we'll as the palatableness of foods.
Under-cooked starches and over.
heated fats certainly are not easy
for the digestive apparatus tC
take care of and in many cases
it has been the cooking Of the
food rather than the food itself
that has caused trouble.

STACEY WADE HAS
NO ORGANIZATION

As Capitol Hill talks shop, there
GOES about his work 4 quiet, un-
assuming man whose hair is gray.
lie is Secretary of State Stacey
W. Wade. lie has announced he
j. a candidate for reelection. The
fact ne has remained quiet on the
subject Of politics, observers point
out. doesn't mean he has let thu
grass grow under his feet. His
organization isn't clicking because
he doesn't have an organization.
Back in 1882 when Wade en-
tered the political fold, he wasn't
given Chinaman'S chance. He
had no organization then. And he
had no money. He told the peO-
ple who vote ne needed job. He
told them they were the ones to
give him that job. He Swore he
would take the assignment and
carry it to the best of his ability.
He was elected by the largest
vote ever given 4 candidate for
secretary of state. 1t was the big
gest majority ever accorded a
state official in the history of the
state. Political observers said
there was moral to his race. 1t
VAS Wade must be camnaigner.
Wade was the first incumbent
of q state office to formally an
nomce for reelection. And in
making his announcement in 20
words, he thereby made the short
est announcement ever made by
4 candidate. At least Capitol Hill
observers can't remember one
shorter than this:

nation in the Democratic primary

of state, on my record of efficient
