Now that we've settled down to
the business of plain living again,
the question of what to serve for
breakfast must be at the top of your
list.
It's just as important to send
your family off these nippy winter
mornings fortified with good sub
stantial breakfast as it is to bundle
them up in heavy overcoats and
wooden scarves. Anxious to catch a
couple of extra winks, they're prone
to take a quick gulp of orange juice
or coffee before dashing out the
door for school or the office. As
cook, it's your job to lure them
downstairs in time to eat an ade-
quate breakfast. Raisins, buried in
steaming cereal and swimming in
rich top milk or cream, will supply
them with energy giving calories
they need to carry them through
the day.
Right now, raisins have every
thing to interest the thrifty nouSe-
wife. They're more plentiful than
in any year since before the war;
prices are down to about half what
they were last year, and they're a
treasure -chest of energy. They are
rich in "predigested" fruit sugar, a
form of simple sugar that can be
quickly converted into energy.
Raisins all start out as select,
vine-ripened grapes, picked at the
peak of their flavor. Most OF the
raisins used in the United States
come from sunny California where
n-drying is practical and eco
nomicaI. The natural exposure to
the hot rays of the sun gives raisins
their dark color. However, in some
sections of California where early
rains make this sun-drying hazard

Can't Afford to Hoard

Congressman Clifford Hope of
Kansas, chairman of the house agri-
cultural committee, takes issue with
Senator Flanders of Vermont and
Congressman Jacob Javits of New
York over their proposed meat ra-
tioning bill.
The Kansan says such discus
sions cause panic and more
shortage by causing folks to
hoard meat in food lockers, and
also induce farmers to sell i'm.
mature and unfinished animals
on the market.
Hope says there is plenty of meat,
and per capita consumption in 1913
will be only about half an ounce
day less than in 1947. And he asks,
SIS this any cause for panic?"
The congressman overlooks the
fact that prices of 95 cent and 81 a
pound for meat provide cause for
panic.

tees committed in those hallowed
walls of the national capitol.
For instance, the S0th con-
sress, in Public Law 1877, appro-
priated SIS, 294 ABS for legislative
purposes. That's more than
most governmental agencies.
Congress employs an army Of
6,O44 men and women, clerks,
stenographers, pages, police
men and maintenance workers.
That's more than most other
governmental agencies.
On the house side, through the
house disbursing officer, there are
3,494 employees including those in
the two house office buildings. On
the senate side and the senate office
building there are 1850 employees.
The capitol architect, who has
charge of operating the capitol
building, the library of congress and
maintenance of the supreme court
building, has 1000 employees on his
payroll.

Not on Payday Though

Speaking of wasting the taxpayers
money - the Congressional Record,
which all may read, shows that dur
ing the Both congress there were 800
quorum calls in the senate and SO in
the house. A quorum call is calling
of the roll in an effort to get men,
bers of house and senate into the
two chambers in order to transact
the nations business whenever
there is not a quorum present. In
the house it takes an average of 30
minutes for quorum call; in the
senate, IA minutes.
The Congressional Record also
shows that the 8Oth congress was in
session 143 days and the average
length of each days session was So
hours.
So little simple arithmetic
based on the average days ses-
sion and the time for quorum
calls shows that our legislators
spent 20 Of their 143 legislative
days trying to get members into
the two houses in order to do
business.
Not counting salaries of the hun
dreds of employees in each body,
salaries of senators and congress-
men total approximately $4,000 per
day. So, figuring 20 days at an aver
age of $4,000 per day, lawmakers
fddled away about $500, 1000 of the
taxpayers money calling each other
into house and senate chambers in
order to vote or otherwise transact
the business for which they are
drawing their salaries. This wastage
is not peculiar to this congress-it
has been true of all congresses.
