Importance the President attached
to the British post.
An equally interesting sidelight
will be the Kennedy family's sin

has the United States sent an Irish
man to London, storm center of
Engish-Irish dissension. Boston
blue bloods, social registerites
from New York, Philadelphia and
Washington will be presented next
June to Queen Elizabeth at Buck
ingham palace by Rose Kennedy, a
woman who was never invited to
join the exclusive Junior League.
American debutantes cannot appear
before the queen of England unless
Rose Kennedy sanctions it.
If Joe Kennedy engineers the
Anglo-American trade agreement
he will return to the United States
more thoroughly in the spotlight
than ever. Though some may
consider him an "exile" in London,
he can recall that five former am
bassadors to st. James later be-
came President. Who knows but
that this typical" American bust

Kennedy money backed the 1882

months recognizing Radio Corpor-

to convince them that the world
was changed. They wouldn't listen.
Few people have forgotten the
turbulent days when the Securities

Almost to a man, Wall street bro

"Home-Wrecking''
Qualities Of Poor
Furniture Polish

How often a houseful of fine fur
niture and handsome woodwork is
spoiled by the use of a poor furni-
ture polish! There are many pol
ishes on the market today-some
fair, some good, others excellent
for luster and long life of the fin
ish! The best is non-greasy, be-
cause made with fine, ight-on
base! In time, furniture and wood
work can be ruined by the per-
sistent application of a cheap,
poor polish! Such polish will con-
tain kerosene, harsh abrasives
and harmful acids-destructive ell
ements, that are unseen and I'M
suspected! The housewife may
use one of these polishes, feeling
that she is economically keeping
her furniture polished-but this is
poorest economy, if she values
her furniture (and what house
wife does not?). The furniture in
home constitutes the largest
part of the furnishings-and will
show up like "sore thumbs" when
dried out, cracked or checked.
This is just what occurs, when
other than a reputable oil polish
is used! Too, a quality oil polish
is less expensive! Less is used at
one time-for it's undiluted. The
resultant glow is deeper, richer,
more lasting! Best of all, the fin
ish of the furniture and woodwork
is properly 'tfed" and kept in
prime condition. So beware of
harsh, bargain" polishes-for
through them, the furniture suf-
ferS!

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

When Cooking Cheese.-In cook
ing anything with cheese use a
low temperature, because intense
heat makes cheese tough and
stringy.
Lemon Slices in Punch.-Lemon
halves and slices are apt to give
bitter taste to punch if they are
left in it. 1t is best to wait until
serving time to add them.
Setting Gelatine.-Gelatine sal
ads and desserts will jeIl faster
in metal molds than in enamel,
earthenware or glass molds.
Measuring Flour.-Wheat flour
is one of the easiest ingredients
in baking to mismeasure. For
best results always sift flour and
measure by spoonfuls into a cup,
being careful not to shake the filled
cup.
Delicious Peppers.-Green pep
pers are delicious when stuffed
with minced chicken and chopped
mushrooms.
Frightening the Closet.-If the
walls and woodwork of the dark
clothes closet are painted white it
will make it much lighter and
easier to find things.

WHAT to EAT and WHY

cunu1ate weight. It has been
proven that anger and fright in
crease the amount of fat in the
blood and remove a corresponding
amount of fat from its usual stor-
age place beneath the skin. A fit
of anger may take off more fat
than an hours exercise, or two or
three days of enforced diet. Thus
the person who allows himself to
become upset continually with
draws the fat reserve from his
body. Such persons could profit,
perhaps, by taking more of the
fat-forming foods.
But Whether the members OF your
family are good natured, or irritable,
young or old, they need constant sup

served when 40 to so per cent of
the total energy value of foods is
provided in the form of carbohy-
drate and 80 to 35 per cent in the
form of fats.
Carbohydrates Are
Quickest Fuel
Carbohydrates, which originate
chiefly in plant life, are readily
converted into heat and muscle
energy. Foods rich in carbohy-
drates include bread, potatoes,
macaroni, rice, cooked and ready
to-eat cereals, peanuts, dried and
preserved fruits, sugars and
syrup.
Sugar furnishes heat more
quickly and more abundantly than
any other food. But it has a ten
dency to dull the appetite and is
also apt to cause fermentation.
Therefore, large measure of our
heat and energy is best secured
from starchy foods such as bread,
cereals, macaroni and potatoes.
Quick energy can also be OBJ
tanned from the easily digested
sugars of fresh and dried fruits,
such as prunes, apricots, raisins
and fully ripened bananas.

Relation OF Fat
To Health
Fats are so necessary to the
body economy that it is no exag-
geration to say that without fat,
life, in it's higher forms, is i'm
possible. The noted Arctic ex-
plorer, Stefansson, found that he
could exist satisfactorily on an
all-meat diet, provided he ate lib
orally of fat. On diet of all lean
meat, he became violently i'll
within a week.
Besides furnishing concentrated
energy values, fats help to create
the fatty tissue which cushions
the nerves and abdominal organs
and forms the pleasing contours
of face and figure.
Because it leaves the stomach
more slowly than proteins and
carbohydrates, fat retards the di-
gestion of these food groups some
what, and thus gives staying power
to a meal. AT the same time it
promotes the flow of pancreatic
juice and bile, thus helping in the
assimilation of other foods. Foods
rich in fat include butter, cheese,
egg yolk, cooking fats and oils,
margarine, olives, pastry, peanut
butter, most nuts except chestnuts
and lichi nuts, various kinds of
sausage and fried foods.

To staid Britishers Joe Kennedy
may be the perfect example of
American "pep." Big and tall, he
likes to work in his shirt sleeves,
make instantaneous decisions and
ride airplanes instead of trains. He
is a go-getter, equally at home with
any kind of an audience.

cry is kept functioning only by
an ever-present supply of fuel.
For, as long as life continues
even when you are lying perfectly
still-you need fuel to carry on
the internal work of the body.
Activity Demands
Energy Foods
Every type of daily activity, in
Guiding work and exercise, re-
quires additional fuel. If you walk
slowly, you expend twice as much
energy as when you sit still. And
when you walk fast, you may use
up four, five or six times as much
energy.
The chief fuel, or energy pro-
ducing foods, are the carbOhy-
drates-that is, the starches and
sugars; and fats. Protein also
has some fuel value, but its pri-
mary function is to build and re-
pair tissue.
Carbohydrates are quick burn
ing. They might be compared to
the flare of a match in a dark
room, which gives bright light for
an instant, but is soon ex-
tinguished. Fat, on the other hand,
burns slowly, like a lamp whose
wick is turned low.
Danger of Inadequate
Fuel Supply
Recently there has been a ten
dency to minimize the Importance
of the fats and carbohydrates, due
to the craze for dieting. Some of
the results of disregarding the alb
solute necessity for these foods
are extreme irritability. and a
greater susceptibility to fatigue,
nervous diseases, tuberculosis and
other infections.

man of the Maritime COM
mission, may be ushering in
a new type of diplomacy.
Others claim this right-hand
man of the Roosevelt admin
istration is being exiled by
his appointment to st. James.
Still others say the ambassa-
dorship is a springboard to the
Presidency.
More likely is the answer
that President Roosevelt rec
ognizes the need for a British
ambassador of exceptional
business ability, a man who
can maneuver the proposed
reciprocal trade treaty to a sue
cessful conclusion. Joe Kennedy,
more than any other New Dealer,
is the man who can do it.
Red Tape Bothers Him.
This dynamic American is apt to
shock st. James. AS SEC chair
man and head of the Maritime COM
mission he showed his distaste for
official red tape and soft-couched
procedure. In diplomacy as no
where else, he will find just such
conditions.
The Kennedy career reads like an
unbroken success story, in which
love and family life have played
an important part. At forty-nine he
is the father of nine good looking
children. His wife, the former Rose

NEW YORK, Feb 1.-Ieverett S.

in the present relationships of Govern

Government policy"
In an address at the opening session

under the law to attack monopoly and
keep competition open, adding:
But it also has duty, and this is

icy which is announced, which is pur-

connection with the anti-monopoly

intended.
Another matter in which clarifica-
ton is needed has to do with prices.
