Transfer of control to Taft was
not a pleasant ceremony. Mac
Arthur and soldiers felt Taft had
meddled and Numbered from the
time he came TO the islands as
head of a civil commission. Taft,
on the other hand, considered the
army heavy-handed in places.
Taft made his GOODNESS toward
Macarthur apparent a few years
later. as President of the United
States. when he passed him over
in naming the first chief of staff
under the Root plan of reorganiza-
ton Of the United States Army.
1t was a heavy blow to Macarthur
who was not destined 10 live long
enough 10 see his son become the
youngest chief of staff ever APP

tour of duty in that post.

turned to this country as a major

arrived. The city fell in August

of the city.
But his troubles had only begun.

After his Indian battles were
done, Arthur Macarthur entered
upon a restless period. As his
work in the army became seden-
tary, he longcd for action just as
acutcly as his son vast TO long for
II just before the outbreak of
World War |.
Bits of the L. s. S. Maine were
figuratlvely still IN the air when
Arthur Macarthur was COM
mlSsioncd a brigadier' general of
volunteers and set out for new
action in the SpaniSh-Amcrican
war. He helped build up the pitt
fully inadequate military stores at
San Francisco, our base for the
Philippine campaign. Then. he
took off for the Orient. paving a
high road of adventure his son was
destined TO follow many times.

ton to reach the Philippines, July

One of his doctors insisted on
accompanying him to the banquet
hall. The doctor said later that
he noticed the color come back 10
MacArthur's checks. and the
twinkle to his eye. when the men
rose and cheercd him as he
came in.
When the general was called on
to speak. he rose unSteadilv and
looked out over the gray heads of
the cheering men he had known
as boys. The general was a Sril-
liant orator, as his father had
been before him and as his son
was. But now nc heSitated. and
when at last he started to speak
he said, simply;

And he dropped dead on the
platform.

Minimum Food Needs
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-Dr. Morris
Fishbein said today now, II ever,
"is the time for leaders In scientific
nutrition to establish for the Amer
ican public eating habits which may
be Of immense benefit to the Ma
tion's health"
The editor Of the Journal Of the
American Medical Association. in
an address to the National Food
Distributors Association, recalled the
World War Eat More Meat" and
Eat More Wheat" campaigns, and
said:
People at war may be led into
national habits in q manner which
can never be duplicated In times OF
peace"
Shortages in Certain Vitamins.
DR.. Fishbein said his one i'm
portant recommendation was that
representatives Of the many agencies
concerned with the supply OF food
and nutrition draft for public cir
culation "a single, complete docu-
ment representing the minimum eS-
sentials of information regarding
foods and nutrition"
He said that II there were any
deficiencies clearly apparent in the
American diet they were in shortages
primarily of certain vitamins and
minerals, but "the answer to these
problems is not. however, the eating
of great quantities of vitamin pills.
We must learn to eat foods and not
vitamins.
THE average person knows little
about calories except that too many
of them make one fat. The average
person probably knows still less
about the significance Of the figures
given for protein, calcium or the
vitamins."
Citizens Need knowledge.
improvement of the national nu-
triton on . large scale requires. he
said, q fairly good general knowl-
edge by the citizen of how much of
each Of the essential ingredients he
requires each day.
Thus it is already clear that 4
daily diet containing a quart Of
milk, q reasonably good serving of
one or two leafy green vegetables,
some enriched bread. some butter,
one egg, one fresh fruit and a rea-
sonably good serving Of meat or
fish would give most Of the essen
tials.
''IC would then be necessary
merely to vary the diet by a proper
choice Of foods and by cooking these
foods so as to make them appetiz-
ing"
