State Legislature
As Seen And Heard BY Kinds Jumper

The fifth week or our Legislative
Session saw the pa age OF our free
text book bill, a II hat will give
free school books through the first
eight grades. The bill IS now beins
argued in the Senate, and should be
voted on some time this week.
The House also passed a Fact
Finding bill for the farmers. This
bill provides for an appropriation
tor a committee TO study ways and
means OF marketing Agricultural pro-
ducts. The committee will study the
marketing systems and make recon
mendation back to the House. If
the plan works, ii should be of some
assistance to the farmers.
We have really had a Lot of bills
introduced. In fact we have had
2l8 SO far and we have had biEs Of
every kind among this number. A
representative from Monroe County
introduced a bill this week to legal
ize hitch hiking. 1t brought quite
a bit OF laughter from the members
and even though it was done through
fun n foolishness. we have had
many bills introduced that should
have been looked on in his man.

The House is indeed fortunate in
having a very capable and efficient
mar to serve as Clerk, namely Mr..
Buford Yerger. He is kept busy ar
ranging the calendar and making
copies of all bills. He is asked hun
dreds of questions daily and answers
most of them in a very satisfactory
way.
The attendance of the members
of the House has been decreased
considerably this week due to the
presence of flu. This has slowed
down the work to some extent and
has worked a hardship on lots OF
people.

disease, DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health calls
attention to the following suggestions
from the Nutritionist of the Depart
ment:
First, the diet must be properly
balanced. To cover all needs, it must
contain certain foods each day. 1t
must include milk, fruit, vegetables,
whole grain cereals and dark bread,
meat or a meat substitute, egg, butter
or butter substitute.
Second, the diet should have a good
supply of minerals and vitamins. Vita
min A foods are of special Importance
because Vitamin A helps to keep the
tissues of the respiratory tract in good
condition so that they will be able to
fight tuberculosis. Foods which con-
tain this vitamin include milk, butter,
eggs, cod liver oil, green and yellow
vegetables.
"Vitamin C foods are also important
in both the prevention and cure of
tuberculosis. Children and adults who
have had tuberculosis have been shown
to have great lack of this vitamin in
their bodies. Accordingly the amount
that normally protects health is not
enough. Oranges, grapefruit and to-
matoes contain large supply of Vita
min c. Raw fruits and vegetables
contain this vitamin in small amounts.
Some of these must be eaten each day
"Third, as in any well planned diet,
the food should be simple, easily di-
gested and well prepared.
"a properly balanced diet which
contains the essential food elements,
including a good supply Of minerals
and vitamins and which is simple, not
fussy, easily digested and well pre-
pared, counts for a great deal as an
aid to the recovery Of those who are
ill with the disease. 1t is of equal
