secretary OF the meeting. While
the vote on chairman was being tab
ulated, Walters called upon White
who pleaded for party unity, ire
spective Of who should be elected
chairman.
White said that peace in the party
is necessary from now until the
polls close next November" He de-
clared that the divided actions of the
Democrats in county and State have
made the party 1.-The laughing stock
of the country" and the condition
must be corrected.
Pledges Party Support
Regardless of who is named
chairman, | will go along 100 per
cent and hope that all of you will
do the same" he said. Il have been
in fights and have won and lost. but
have always maintained my support
of the party"
White in 1888 was a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for rep
resentative in Congress, but was de-
feated in the Sussex caucus by for
meT Representative William F. AL
len.
Collision, who is a member of the
Industrial Accident Board and was
leader of the Tunnel faction, also
pleaded for a cessation of hOstili-
ties.
John w. Phillips, of the Eighth
Representative District Qndian Riv-
err sought to vote as proxy for Mrs.
Eunice A. Wilson, cOmmitteewOman
of the third election district, Tenth
Representative District, RehOboth.
Proxy Right Questioned
The question was as to whether
a member could give proxy privil-
eges to one not living in the same
voting district. Baker ruled that,
under State committee rules, this
could not be done and while the
county committee had no rule re-
specting the question it had observed
the same policy as the State commit
tee. The vote was % to IS, with four
not voting. to receive Phillips bal
lot.
The previous split in the party in
Sussex county occurred on Novem-
ber 6, 1887, following the primary
election, when it was charged that
money was used to help
the Allen-Baker faction in order to
get the Democrats fighting among
themselves. In the November cleo
tion in 1898. the results of the
schemes were evident, and the con-
troll of the general assembly was
lost to the Republicans.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
NutritiOnist for the State Board
of Health.
How Surplus Commodities Can
Supplement Our Other Foods

Families which have little money
to spend for food need to nay par
ticular attention to how they spend
that money.
In a recent study of family spend
ing in Pasadena, California, it was
found that a woman without any
particular knowledge of food needed
to spend $225 per week for each
person in her family in order to sat
isfy nutritionists that she was pro-
viding an adequate diet. Contrasted
with this $225, the woman who
knew the values of food was able
to feed her family well on One-third
less money, or $3.50. Every house
wife needs to understand something
about food values, but the low in
come family has very special need.
There are incomes so low that no
amount of expert planning can as
sure these families an optimum
diet. However, expert planning can
assure these families a much better
diet than haphazard methods of food
selection could ever give them.
The housewife, If she is wise, con-
siders what each food has to offer in
the way of necessary OfOod values.
If she is faced with the choice of
salt pork or milk, she realizes that
salt pork is the luxury, not milk.
Salt pork furnishes only energy or
calories, while milk furnishes calor-
les plus valuable protein, minerals,
and vitamins. In the same way she
weighs the advantages between
fresh, canned, or skim milk and
makes her choice according to the
amount of money she has to spend
and the price she must pay for each.
Our ideal housewife realizes the
economic advantage of bulk purchas-
ing of DARK unprepared cereals, as
contrasted with refined, boxed. ready
prepared cereals. Winter gardens of
kale, buried supplies of turnips, car
rots, potatoes, cabbage. and parsnips.
and early spring harvesting of wild
greens can go a long way toward
providing fresh vegetables through
the season when they are most ex-
pensive. Home-canned tomatoes,
prunes and apricots bought in bulk.
and apples are the most economical
fruits.
Careful preparation of fruits and
vegetables is necessary if the family
is to receive the minerals and vita
minis which have been paid for. Care
less preparation of vegetables can
destroy as much as 80 per cent of
the vitamins which they originally
contained.
The intelligence which is used in
the selection of food is just as i'm
portant as the amount of money
spent for it in determining whether
or not a family can be well fed.
