fury, was that the nutritional
knowledge of vitamins and
essential proteins was so scanty
that no adequate concentrated
ration could be devised. Today,
with more complete understand
ing, Prof Robert S. Harris at
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. according to the
Industrial Bulletin of Arthur D.
Little. has devised a more or
less concentrated ration which
is manufactured with all the
newer knowledge of nutrition.
The basis OF this mixture is
cereal. Since no single cereal
known contains all the essential
protein amino-acids. one kind is
fortified with another. A blend
of wheat, soya bean meal and
oats and corn will produce. it
is said. a mixture with as good a
protein content as milk or eggs.

Skim milk powder. a low cost
byprodUct, constitutes further
protein. as well as minerals and
some vltamins. With other adj
ditions, the mixture contains a
balanced diet with all the essen
tial food products except vitamin
c. Two-thirds of an ounce of
the mixture a day, together with
a reliable vitamin c source food
such as tomato or an orange
will keep an adult in good
condition.
The mixture was designed
primarily to supply the UNDER
privileged groups with a low
cost food that would supply all
the necessary food elements in
which their diet has been found
to be so often lacking.

Planned by the chef of the
Hotel Huntington, Pasadena,

found one where they could

the hookless trout for the old
fisherman's praises. He came
over, took the trout, tapped 1t
on the head with his ruler,
put dewy wet ferns in her

JUST DIDN'T CARE

JUST DIDN'T CARE
Mary was born and brought
up in New Jersey. AS a mat
ter of fact, her old home was
just near the hatchery in
Hackettstown. All her family
loved fishing. But up to this
time, Mary had not been in
terested.
Dorgie arrived on Friday
for dinner. He was in rare
form. He had a lot of bag
gage, just for two days,
thought Mary a little appre-
hensively! But it turned out
to be just every last word in
tackle, boots, net, old pants
and what not, for fishing.
Their conversation during
dinner was entirely about the
exquisite, elusive quality of
trout. The roast beef which
the smiling Negro maid
served looked horribly bestial.
However. it was a gay little
dinner party. They went to
bed early and next morning
they were all up with the
birds.
Thousands of the happy
little creatures chirped in the
verdant greenery, while Don
sneaked out and grabbed as
many worms as his tin belt
box would hold!
"Ignominious" was Dorgie's
word for anyone who could
stoop so low as to catch trout
that way. He was a purist in
the real sense of the word. He
used nothing but flies.
FLIES IN HER FEDORA
Mary decorated her jaunty
fedora with a few gaudy flies.
She wore old riding togs,
using rubber boots for wading.

her brother.
Don't tell me you use

as he eyed the little tin box
at her waist.
Mary ira G tened and
looked him in the eye.

lengingly, land what's more,
don't you worry about me-in

Don was so excited. he paid
no attention to anyone. not
even to his bride. He gulped
some hot coffee, and hurried
Mary into the car. Dorgie
took his own roadster. They
agreed to meet later in the
day at home with their catch.
Mary and Don knew that he

gets fish-Or else"
Mary said nothing. Stealth
lily, she threaded her bait on
the hook, quickly dropped it in
the stream right where she
stood on the bank. This
proved to be a better idea
than wading around.
Immediately, she felt a tug
at the line. That pulling tug
went through every nerve in
her body Then. flip, flip, flip
in the air as a shimmering
trout tried to get off the hook.
pull i'm i'm yelled an old
fisherman who stood near.
This she did as if she were
pulling in the life line. When
the fish was actually in her
hand, she was suddenly taken
with what might be called
Trout Fever
Chills went up and down
her spine. But she held on
like grim death to the Slip
periest fish in captivity. while
she tried to get the hook it
had evidently swallowed down
TO its tail. And what's more.
she tried to do this without
fainting on the the spot, or
disemboweling the fish.

Mr.. Martin, 60-year-old resident
of Martinsburg and long prominent

ference with Mr.. Holt Thursday
afternoon, but neither made any dis
closure at that time.
In case of two appointments to

Mr.. Neely was understood to be
