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

Commercial Gamers are begin
ming to give very specific informa-
ton on their labels because con-
sumers are becoming educated to
the point where they demand to
know what they are buying.
Amount of food in terms of
weight must be given. The newer
labels go further than this and tell
you the number of units which you
may expect as to 10 plums or 13
to 15 peach halves.
The label also should give var
iety information. Clingstone or
freestone peaches, white or yellow
corn, sweet or sour cherries, sweet
or early June peas, Bartlett or
Kiefer pears, red or pink salmon
these are examples of how variety
information is helpful.
A statement of the seasonings
used may also be very helpful.
Fruit juices, especially grapefruit
and pineapple, are usually labelled
natural or unsweetened if sugar
has not been added. The labelling
of such things as tomato juice and
soups as salt added or salt not
added helps the housewife in her
seasoning as well as shows wheth-
er or not they may be used on
special diets restricted in salt
| Can sizes are standardized ac-
cording to number. The size OF
i the can remains constant al
though the weight or net contents
will vary according to the food
contained since some foods are
heavier than others. The number
1 or picnic can contains / IA cups
the number 300 contains 1 3-4
cups and the number l Tall or the
number 303 contains 2 cups. These
three sizes are used for milk
soups, tomato juice. fish, and other
variety foods. They are seldom
used for fruits or vegetables.
Vegetables are most commonly
packed in the number 2 size. This
holds 2 1-2 cups. Tomatoes and
fruits are usually packed in the
number 2 IL can which holds 1-2
cups.
| Number 5 and number 10 are
economical sizes for a large fam
lily. The number contains z IL
cups and the number 10 has 13
cups. These are the sizes which
most institutions use Many re
tail stories are now stocking these
larger sizes, especially in fruit
juices.
In general it pays to buy the
largest size can which can be used
without waste because the price is
usually lower than for similar

Radiant Living
RADIANCY COMES
FROM ABOVE
By Rev. G. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely NJ. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

1t is Bunyan who gives us a pic
ture OF a certain man who persists
in raking toward him all the filth
that is within the reach of his
rake. At his side stands an angel
who is pleading with him to stop
looking down upon the muck which
is continually being raked toward
himself by his own efforts, but to
look up where, over his head, there
hovers for him a shining golden
crown.
But no, he will persist in raking
much toward himself.
No man can live radiantly while
engaged in undertaking. We can
not keep clean while laboring in
filth.
To be radiant, a mirror must be
must be removed and then bright
ly polished. And being polished,
and turned toward the sun, it will
become suddenly ablaze with a
binding radiancy.
Have you been looking down
Does that not throw your face in
shadow? God bids us to look
up. The source of radiancy is
above us. co out and look up TO
the sun, and your face will be all
aglow.
ALL radiancy of light comes from
the sun. All radiancy of life comes
from God through Jesus Christ.
AS He has declared: 'T am the
light of the world"
There is too much glory above
for us to go through life muckrak-
ing. AS for me will look up.
will turn my face and heart unto
Him that He might fill me with
that peculiar radiancy that comes
from above.

NO VERDICT IN THE
PARVIS CASE


"A notable case has been before
the court for three days in Will
mington ending last night-that of
Mrs. Henrietta v. Parvis vs.. the
p. w. & B. r. r. It was an action
for $4,000 damages on account Of
the plaintiffs husband, DR.. John
II. Parvis who was killed by being
struck by locomotive on the Del
aware railroad, as he was driving
over the Frogtown crossing, near
Middletown. The plaintiff alleged
that the engine whistle and bell
were not sounded as the train ap-
preached the crossing, while the
defence maintained that these pre-
cautions were observed, and that
the deceased was negligent in not
observing due care and diligence in
driving across the track. Testi-
mony upon these points was taken
at length and concluded Monday
morning, when the argument be-
gan. The case is a notable one on
account of the amount of damages
claimed, and by reason of the en-
inent counsel engaged in the trial.
For the plaintiff there were Hon.
Charles 3. Lore, Of Wilmington,
and Albert Constable, Esq, of Elk
ton, Md, the noted attorney who
has won so many suits against the
p. w. & 3. r. r. Company. On
the other side were our United
States Senator George Gray and
George p. Massey, Esq, Of Dover.
1t was a veritable battle of the
giants" among the legal fraternity,
and the court room was crowded
TO hear the able arguments. A
number of witnesses testified that
no bell rung on approaching the
crossing, while others testified that
they heard it. The railroad made
out a strong case that proper dill
gence was not shown in looking
out for the train, or the accident
might have been avoided. The jury
after being out nine hours return
ed saying it was impossible to
agree-standing 10 to 2 for convic-
tion, the case thus failing for
want of verdict. The jury in the
Parvis case were: ]. S. Cobb, fore
man, James Mills, Charles d. Ev-
erett, Columbus Watkins, r. l..
Armstrong, William Wilson, ]. II.
Chambers, Charles w. Gouert, w.
#. Smalley, Abner Hollingsworth,
j. F. Reybold, and A. ]. Hossinger.
Soon after the jury had retired the
sentiment was in favor OF a YER

I'D" FOR REV. j. I'll. EARP
New Castle Rector to Receive
Honor From College in Kansas

The Rev. Joseph H. carp. popu-
lar rector of Emmanuel Church
New Castle, who recently rounded
out twenty years of service in his
parish, is slated for a new honor
next Wednesday. He leaves this
week for Winfield, Kan, where he
will receive the degree of doctor of
divinity at Southwestern College.
located in that city. The honor
will be awarded Wednesday, Nav

ercises of the college. Mr.. Earp's

the benefits to dependent parents.
1t was estimated by its sponsors
that 27,80O widows would be added

RAILROADS - Although the
Railroads are pessimistic about
prospects of legislation that will
help them solve their problem, the
Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce is finishing several pro-
posals, and some action in the
Senate is expected soon.
TRADE AGREEMENTS - Of
100000 American employed, two
and one-half million are employed
in industries that are facing de-
struction through foreign lon1peti-
tion. Without tariff protection,
such industries cannot prosper and
therefore are inefficient. A plan
to foster good will and peace
among the nations, was planned by
the New Deal. S11 ,00O,00O,00 in
war loans and comparable
amount of private loans abroad,
make us a creditor nation and be-
cause of this we have proceeded to
corral at an artificial price the
largest portion of the worlds gold
that cannot be used for sustenance
as we cannot eat it or drink it, SC
we bury it. We have 21 reciprocal
trade treaties with foreign coun-
tries, under which our imports
have fallen because of lack OF
funds to buy either abroad or at
home, but exports have increased
This plan of reciprocal trade
agreements has not brought us
prosperity. We. still have more
than 10000 unemployed Our
markets are constantly being TAX
en-. The American people cannot
stand much more of this.
NEUTRALITY The neutrality
question is still stalemated in Com.
mittees of both Houses of Con.
gress, with opinions branching out
in every direction. The Neutrality
Act as it stands, without the
'cash-and-carry" clause is a dang.
er to American security. Plans
submitted have been SO conflicting
that the present law may be con,
tinued until something can be
worked out.
DIGNITARIES - The White
House and Hyde Park will be
graced by many dignataries during
the coming summer. President
Roosevelt's guest book will beal
signatures of six crowned heads Of
Europe and the political chief of al
least one foreign country. These
are the King and Queen of Eng.
land, Crown Prince and Princess OF
Denmark, Crown Prince and Prin.
cess of Norway, and the President
and First Lady of Nicaragua. The
visits will be purely pleasure trips
to this country, with the exception
of the latter who cranky admit
they would like to have American
investors become interested in Nj
caragua.
