NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j.. June

ball victory of a prolonged season

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. NORRIS F1SHBEIN

OF the numerous members OF
the family of green vegetables,
water cress is among the most
ancient. It was used by the an
cient Persians as we'll as by the
Greeks and Romans. The IA
nous historian Xenophon ad-
vised Persians to feed water
cress to their children II they
wished to improve BIO Oily
growth.
Among British writers in the
18th century. water cress was
recommended as a re m ~
against scurvy. We know to-
day that scurvy is caused by
deficiency of vitsmin c in the
diet. and we know also that the
leafy green vegetables are an
excellent source of this vitamin.
Water cress is a plant which
grows usually where there are
fresh brooks with gravel bot
toms. 1t belongs to the family
of vegetables which includes
cabbage, cauliflower, kale. Brus-
sells sprouts, mustard, turnips
and radishes.
An English writer in the 18th
century said, THE eating of
water cress doth restore the
wonted bloom to the cheeks of
old-young ladies'" We know to-
day that the chief value of this
vegetable lies in its content of
four of the well-known vitamins.
1t is even richer source of
vitamin B and G than are let
tuce, cabbage and spinach. and
1t is also rich source of vita
Minis A and c.
Like other leafy green vege-
tables, water cress is also a USE
full product because of its con-
tent of important minerals. 1t
contains. weight by weight, cell
cry, head lettuce, and even a
greater percentage than is found
in that most widely reputed
source of this mineral: namely,
spinach.
Now, watercress is not a vege-
table out of which people would
make a full meal, or even a large
part of one; it is. however, eX-
ceedingly useful in the diet as a
component in salads of various
kinds simply because it has a
pungent flavor and a most ap-
petizing appearance.
More recently housewives have
learned to include water cress in
sandwiches and as an appetizing
addition to meats at luncheon
and dinner.

URGES BACKING FOR
GENERAL WELFARE ACT

Editor, The Times: While con-
sress is in session we Should all
write our representatives asking
them to support our human
itarian bills. If we want proper
legislation passed now is the
time to act. If we don't act now
we will have no right to kick
later on how they" run the
government. I'm suggesting the
General welfare act as good
bill TO support. 1t is pending
now in congress as II. r. II.
We must have a security pro-
gram on q "pay-as-you-eo'
basis. Even the president has
recognized this fact, and yet he
offers the present inadequate,
impractical social security act.
The social security act is de-
fective: the reserve which 1t
contains is all wrong. We must
pay our debts as we go along
rather than shifting them for
ward on the future generations.

port and the west end, there
should be no disagreement.
Whether it be 9th ave. or 18th
st. one travels over, will depend
on where one happens to be
when he goes out there, or his
destination when leaving.
Both streets will be needed,
and form splendid arterials to
connect with Pearl st, as the
eastern boundary, which should
be made into a wide boulevard
through from 9th ave. to Center
st
This will allow patronage to
the 18th st district, through to
K st. and downtown, AS well as
to 9th ave. and downtown, and
other districts like the 26th and
Proctor. the North End and other
sections.
Traffic flowing over the bridge
will have a choice of highway,
whether southbound to South
Tacoma and beyond, or local.
The prospects of aviation and
airport development are so great,
with mail, express, freight, per-
ishables, passengers and local
schools and student work, that
we have not kept up with it.
Unselfish cooperation by all
can produce an industry in the
west end that we all will benefit

many fine homes which should
be built on some of the other
thousands of acres available for
this purpose.
