As substitute, serve a thoroughly chilled bracer of pine apple or prune juice which can be bought bottled at very reasonable prices. Grapefruit juice is also less expensive that fresh fruit at certain seasons. Watch these points care fully and make full use of them, for the fruit joices are as acceptable as the fresh fruits and highly bene- ficial.
 Apple sauce made from the small, inexpensive cooking apples, makes very nice breakfast dish. Served with French toast-also an economy when you wish to save on eggs and still have the effect of them-apple sauce is an eppetizing as the heav- fer jellies and jams, much less ex- pensive and more healthful. A hot strawberry sauce is also delicious with the French toast when made with fully ripe berries. Less ex-

There are few opportunities to see as convincingly as at West Point. the effect of an excellent health program on superb physical develop ment. West Point men are re- nowned for their splendid physique.
 A closeup of life at West Point convinces anyone that the results of the four-year training are not acci- dental. Only applicants who are in fine physical condition are accepted, and during their training, every incident of the day contributes to improving their physical status.
 The average of a class of plebes Gas the freshman cadets are called) increases his height by about 4 inch and his weight by about 10 pounds. Records are kept of the ca- det's athletic ability during the en- tire four years, and if a cadet shows any deficiency, he is given correc- tive exercises.
 Cadets Drink Quart of Milk A Day

Cadets Drink Quart of Milk DaiIyFruits Vegetables
 and Eggs Used in Liberal Amounts

An indispensable part of the health program is well controlled and adequate diet, containing liber- al amounts of dairy products and the other protective foods (fruits, vegetable and eggs). Every cadet re- ceives a quart of milk day; ice cream is served twice week, or of tened if there is a holiday or special meal. An average of one-sixth pound of butter is consumed daily by each cadet. Fruits, vegetables and eggs are used in liberal amounts. Each day the 1900 cadets consume 3600 eggs, 1900 quarts of milk, 160 quarts of cream, 26O pounds of the highest grade of but ter and 800 loaves of bread.
 Meaitime rites and ceremonies are presided over by upper classmen At the foot of each table sit three or four plebes; they are balanced gingerly on the edges of their chairs and must not speak unless ques. toned. Their task is to pour the

I find it more economical and like best the oven toasted bread. For this I always use stale bread, spread rather lightly with butter before putting the slices into the oven. Oven toasting makes the bread crisp and gives it certain nutty flavor that is not present with regulation toast. A great deal of butteE can be wasted by spread ing it too literally on soft toast as it comes from the toaster. Butter soaked toast is not appetizing; not especially good for us, and frankly wasteful. Try oven toasting accord ing to these simple directions given above and see if you do not develop a strong preference for it.

such filings as minced ham, chicken,
 tongue, cream cheese, etc, save the trimmings, cut them in buttered pudding dish, spread with layer of white sauce and bake until lightly Drowned in the oven. This will make tasty dish that is also nourishing. Have care in mixing the rem
 nants so that you do not put sar-
 dine bits in with a delicate assort-
 ment like tongue or chicken. Fish cubes and cheese will blend together,
 however.

Party Sandwiches

It will save time and prove more economical to slice sandwich bread the long way when making num- Der of fancy sandwiches. To do this you should have a long saw-toothed bread knife. Select fancy cutters of size that will permit you to cut two shapes crosswise of the long strips of bread. Save the remnants of buttered bread and next day make Brown Betty or an old-time bread and butter pudding.
 If you've had to fill different sandwiches before cutting, using

 Example for Everyone
 The healthy, erect, symmetrically developed young men who graduate from West Point are the result of a four-year regime which is designed to make them perfect physical spec- iments. Excellent diet, along with a well balanced program of exercise, study and play make up this iria-' portant regime.
 What healthy living does for the West Point cadets, it will do for anyone. Exercise in the fresh air, hours of restful sleep, and an ade- quate diet based on milk and other protective foods( fruits, vegetables and eggs) will increase ones years of efficient, enjoyable living.

penSlve and goes tarther than would also require top milk or cream.
 When serving scrambled eggs, four of them will serve six if you add three crushed crackers and two tablespoons of milk to each egg; they are very tasty when prepared in this way and have pleasing texture. Remember, that the brown eggs are usually several cents less per dozen than pure white eggs. When fresh they contain the same amount of nutriment.
 Hot cereals are more nourishing and less expensive than the cold varieties, because the labor that goes into the preparation of the latter makes them more expensive. And never waste a scrap of left over cereal. Make it into patties, fry in little butter until crisply brown on both sides and you have an economical and delightful luncheon dish.

Mount Vernon, Va, April IA
(AP)-President Roosevelt stood
on the porch of historic Mount YER
ron today and voiced the gratitude
of Items of millions of Americans"
ttat $50 years ago George Washing
ton bowed to the demands that he
became the first President.
1t was April ID, 1889, that Charles
thompson, secretary of the Contin-
entail Congress, rode into Mount
Vernon with an official notification
OF WaShingtOnS election by the Con-
gress.
Washington rightly" must have
felt, Mr.. Roosevelt declared, that he
was entitled to rest, that "he had
rounded out his contribution to the
public veal" The soldier-patriot
could have refused the call to the
Presidency, Mr.. Roosevelt said ne
had always believed, had it not come
lin a time of real crisis" for the re-
public.
Washington developments includ-
ed:
President Roosevelt signed the
measure making available an addi-
tional S10O,000,000 for relief. The
amount, recently approved by Con
gress after long controversy, was
$50,000,000 less than the President
originally had asked.
The House Rivers and Harbors
Committee approved a bill by Repre-
sentative Mansfield, Democrat, Tex,
TO authorize completion of the $780,
c00,O0O Florida ship canal. It was
said the vote was 10 to 6. The action
was in closed session.
The National Labor Relations
Board, storm center of a congress
sional drive to modify the W0gner
act,. renewed its stand against
amending the law, and termed most
proposed changes definitely objec-
tionable." Denying that it favored
the CIO, and criticizing some of the
amendments proposed by the Ame-
rlcan Federation of Labor, the board
said in four-volume report to the
Senate Committee:
1.-The board is not persuaded by
its experience or by any arguments
which have to come to its attention
that the act requires amendment at
the present time"
President Roosevelt called on
Federal department heads to submit
by April 25 plans for reorganizing
government bureaus. The action
was his first step toward exercising
the reorganization powers recently
granted him by Congress after two
years OF bitter controversy.
