 Out teeth fso the scientists tell uO will be the next to go, since there will be no work of grinding and pulverising for them to do' And If the prospect of Q toothless age lacks charm there is some compensation to derive from the thought that, along with the teeth toothaches will also depart. In that age, there will be no indigeS- ton, no appendicitis, no intestinal disorders, and noe of the many complaints which proceed from deciencies of diet and give us 50 much trouble today.
 But that millennium is yet long way off. In the meantime, we have systems that require careful and in. telligent treatment in the interest of health and beauty. The system has not kept pace with the changes in our tastes and dietary. The latter, during the past ten years, have grown somewhat radical while the system has remained strictly con. servative. Palates crave highly sweetened foods, soft, over.refined foods, exotic combinations. But the system still insists on Q certain amount of coarse food roughage, as we call 1t. aiiing to receive this 1t gives us trouble, often causes un- pleasant eruptions to mar our com plexions.
 Roughage, we must give the sys- tenn if we want to avoid chronic Arrangements; we may get 1t through the use of leafy vegetables and fruits, and one of the finest forms of roughage IS found in vari- ous cereals. Most of us can well afford to include more of this food in the dict with great benefit to health and compxelion, for in the huils of many cereals highly con. centrated celiulose or roughage is found.
 Perhaps you are not one to whom the thought of cereals occurs read- fly when planning the daily menu, If not this Is a good time to give them trial. During the summer months the uncooked prepared" cereals are given preference by most people because they are light as well aS palatable. Crisp shredded cereal for breakfast is delicious; SO are corn flakes and rice fakes--the latter particularly rich in cellulose. With cream or milk and sugar, varied by the addition of seasonal fruits and fruit juices, they make breakfast foods which one eats with ever Increasing relish, and which supply the system with the amount of bulk 1t requires for it's proper funCtioning,

Picayunish Quibbling

The McKellar amendments to the Government employe
leave bills even though they don't completely destroy
the benefits which the workers would get from the
ures certainly demonstrate spirit Of P1CAYUN1SH
QUIBBLNG the part Of the Senator from Tennessee
These amendments should not prevail and they won
prevail unless the friends Of Government employees find
it necessary to accept them in order to get even por
tion of the decent leave privileges accorded by the orig
inal Ramspeck bills.
Should the amendments be accented on final
passage of the bills they IUu stand as monument
to the pOUer of man to insist upon the accept
Gnce of his Utes eUen though those UieuUs are not
in accord IUith the DiShes of a majority of the
members of Congress
These amendments were produced by Senator cKellar
only after passage of the bills by the House, after their
consideration by the Senate Civil Service Committee and
after favorable report by that committee placed them
on the Senate calendar.
There can be no doubt that the amendments would
never have come out of the Civil Service Committee at
this late date unless the bills had been held up because
of the necessity under the Senate rules Of obtaining
unanimous consent for their consideration.
SENATOR MCCLELLAN REFUSED TO GIVE THAT
CONSENT, THEREFORE THE BILLS COULD NOT
RECEIVE THE FREE AND OPEN DEBATE WHICH
LEGISLATION AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF THOU
SANDS OF EMPLOYEES OF THE GOVERNMENT d.
RECTLY AND MILLIONS OF WORKERS INDI-
RECTLY DESERVE AND SHOULD HAVE.
While all Of the amendments strike at the privileges
which the bills designed to give employees the amend
ment which strikes out the provision for granting leave
in compensation for overtime is particularly vicious
The original bills provided that when an employe was
compelled to work overtime the length Of his overtime
might be applied to his annual leave.
Under present law there is compensation for over
time in the Government service generally although pro-
vision is made in some agencies.
As result many employees are compelled to put in
long hours at their desks and stations after they have
already worked full day.
For this they receiUe no consideration.

unte this condition.

TEN Of government, what cannot
be directly overthrown," there ap-
pears to be no end under the Ad-
ministration now waning in public
favor.
Within the very week in which
the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions-"the great committee Of the
Senate"-wisely scrapped the Ad-
ministration's "fake" neutrality
bill, comes the report Of move
by the Department Of State to
"displace" the Monroe Doctrine
with a New Deal doctrine, the ma
ture Of which has yet to be dis
closed.
It seems that personal letters"
have been addressed by Mr.. RooSe-
velt to the heads Of all the Latin
American governments suggesting
a Pan-American conference be con-
vened next September to consider
proposals "for the consolidation
and reorganization" Of current
peace treaties.
According to the washington
correspondent through whom this
news was vouchsafed "the proposed
discussions would spring into the
open private discussions looking to
displacement of the Monroe Doc
trine :" with a multi-lateral
treaty in which all countries in
North and South America would
have an opportunity to affirm the
"hands-off policy" of the doctrine
by joint action.
REAL OBJECTIVE
This is only a polite way Of
saying that the Department Of
State has decided to do to the
Monroe Doctrine what the Senate
Just prevented it from doing to
American neutrality-destro Dying
1t under the pretext Of strength

to the conclusion that the Mon
