RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

More and more we are coming
to realize how important food is to
the sick person. 1t is so import
ant that no one but the doctor
should prescribe the definite type
of food which will be best for the
individual patient.
To the person in bed, the three
meals day are often the only ex-
citing part of very monotonous
existance. A sick person is usual
ly doubly appreciative of an at
tractive meal, but may also be
doubly critical of poor one.
Such things as clean linen, food
which is easy to handle, particular
attention to the patients likes and
dislikes, a secure place on which to
rest the tray-all these can do
much toward persuading a tickle
appetite that the food is really
worth eating.
In many diseases such as diabet-
es, high blood pressure, nephritis,
stomach ulcer, gout, gall bladder
disturbances, anemia, allergy,
heart diseases, constipation, and
vitamin deficiency diseases, the
diet may be an intergral part of
the medical treatment A doctors
prescription for a special diet of
any kind should be as carefully
followed as any other prescription.
Special diets are now recognized
to be adaptations of the regular
diet. Besides treating the specific

Community Spirit

AS students in high school, we
all look forward to the time when
we will be capable of taking a part
in managing our community. Com
munity spirit is not only essential
to good citizenship, but also to the
happiness of each persons life
No one can be contented and hap
py if his attention is centered on
his interests alone. If he thinks
that he will reach the goal of hap
piness without realizing that the
goal is won through cooperation
and helpfulness, he is bound for
disappointment. One must think
of the community as well as him
self, and the first step for stu
dent who wants to develop a
broad community spirit, is to de-
velop school spirit. The term
school spirit" is often interpreted
narrowly. Sometimes students
feel that they are expressing
school spirit merely by supporting
the athletic teams, leading in
cheers or by lusty approval of the
home teams. This support is a
good thing as far as it goes, but
your interest must not stop there.
The student proves his spirit by
his interest in the various activ-
titles of his school and of his fellow
students. The most important ac-
tivity is found, not on the athletic
field, but in the classroom. Al
though the social and recreational
life is important, the class room is
the central feature Of every educa-
tional institution and student
cannot be loyal to the purposes of
the school without doing to the
best of his ability the work under
taken in class. Students often do
no recognize the fact that it takes
more energy, ore pep, more will
power to stick to task which
calls for intellectual effort than it
does for him to make himself
hoarse in his support Of a team
that is victorious.
School spirit, however, means
more than scholarship. 1t means
developing an attitude Of friendli-
ness and helpful cooperation to-
ward the other students. BY gain
ing the habits of working together
and being tolerant with others and
taking into consideration the good
of the school along with personal
wishes, and lays the foundation for
public spirit which will make him
useful citizen and a good addi-
tion to society.

The Nobel Prizes

The Nobel Prizes
The Nobel Prize" is a term
familiar to everyone and it is by
these awards that Alfred Bernhard
Nobel is known. Few know that
he also invented dynamite the
useful friend in mining, farming
and quarrying; the dreaded enemy
in time of war.
Shortly before his death Nobel
started that great fortunes ac-
quired by inheritance never bring
happiness, but only tend to dull
the faculties" And so, he arrang-
ed that his fortune of S9,000,0OO
made from dynamite and oil,
should be disposed of by annual
award to those persons doing the
most notable work in physics,
chemistry, medicine, literature, and
peace.
The list of winners of Nobel
prizes includes Albert Einstein,
Marconi. Woodrow Wilson, Marie
Curie,, Rudyard Kipling, George
Bernard Show, and Jane Adams.

Proposed Trust Law
Indorsed by Arnold
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Thurman Arnold. Assistant Attor-
ney General, indorsed before a
judiciary subcommittee yesterday
legislation which he said would
"streamline" the Justice Depart
ment's prosecution of anti trust law
violations.
The committee, headed by Sena-
tor Burke, Democrat of Nebraska. is
considering measure by Chairman
OMahoney of the Federal Monopoly
Committee to permit the Govern
ment to file civil suits against al
legged monopolistic practices. Prose-
cutions now are under criminal in
Gictment.
Mr.. Arnold told the subcommittee
he believed the OMahoney bill
would open the way for more effec-
tive handling of antitrust cases. 1t
would permit the Justice Depart
ment to seek injunctions against
officials of companies accused of
directing monopolistic practices,
barring them from serving as Off
GERS of the company.
Senator Burke said he was in
terested in the legislation as pos
sible means of eliminating the
stigma" of criminal indictments at
taching to persons accused of tech
nical trust law violations.

W. P. A. Doubts Factories
Can Take Up Labor Slack
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The Works Projects Administra-
tion reported last night that manu-
featuring has ceased to play its
traditional role as an absorber of
'the country's growing labor sup
ply because of new machinery and
other labor saving methods.
The finding was made in a three
volume report on production and
employment in SO industries by the
national research project.
There is every indication that
output per man-hour in the man
ufacturing industries will continue
to increase the survey concluded,
land there is little likelihood that
more jobs will be available in man
ufacturing unless there is a sub
stantial gain in production or
further decrease in working hours.
Therefore, our manufacturing in
dustries are not again likely to serve
as reservoir of jobs for the grow
ing labor supply of the Nation"
The report showed that 'in gen.
eral, 1t took one-fifth less labor
time to produce manufactured goods
In 1886 than was required in 1929"

John R. Phipps today emerged as

R. Chester Cromwell, Anne Arundel
Democrat, as State superintendent

fused to relinquish the post, assert
ing the late Gov. Ritchie placed the

Col. Harry c. Jones, State employ

was listed under the merit system
in his office and referred the Crom-
well-Myers claims to the attorney
general for a ruling.
Today Mr.. Phipps, who held the

terms as Governor, complicated the
picture by asserting that, if Gov.
Ritchie, put the post under State
civil service in 1923, he is entitled to
reinstatement.
Mr.. Phipps said he had no knowl-
edge the $500 custodians job was
