Women Lose Waistline, Farmers Lose Their Shirts, Hyde States ___ Washington—Secretary of Ag riculture Arthur M. Hyde has epitomized one of the saddest and most profound truths about the farm situation. “The women arc losing their waistlines,” Hyde says, “and the farmers are losing their shirts.” If it weren't for that, one dis covers on checking up the figures of the department's statistical di vision, about half the wheat prob lem would be solved. Once we were even with all the sandwich count ers in drug stores arid candy stores today we eat considerably less bread than before the war. From 1898 to 1908 the per capita consumption of wheat was 5.6 bushels. From 1909 to 1913 if was 5,3 bushels. From 1926 to 1929 it was about 4.7 bushels. The exportable surplus, which •auaes most of the wheat, farthers problems aiid keeps prices down, is about 200,000,000 bushels. If the pre-war capita consumption had ■ been maintained it would be taking » up about half of that wheat. The Federal Farm Board apparently is not very hopeful of persuading peo ple to eat more bread, so it is try ing to get the farmers to cut acre age. Senator Reed Smooth at Utah, who got himself married the other day at the age of 63 to Mrs. Alice Sheets, was Invited to spend a few' days at the White House, but Pres* ident Hoover wouldn't let him be photographed with his bride on the front porch. Of course that was just where all the photographers stationed at the White House wanted to,,take pic jj/ tures of the bridal couple. But , word came down from Mr. Hoover t that the camera work on the Smooths could be done somewhere on the side of the White House— anywhere, in fact,, except on the front porch. The President wouldn’t pose greeting the happy pair, either. Washington, probably notices un employment less than any city of u its size. Members of Congress have ' had to go back to their own states to find out about it for themselves. The District of Columbia has no Industries of its own, so there have been no factory layoffs.

It is attracting *>R-COPELAND. quite a good deal of atten I tion. I Here, in the old Ways ide Inn, made fa mous by the poet, Longfel low, m his “Tales of a Wayside Inn,” live thirty-one very alive boys, all from twelve to sev enteen years of age. And here they go to school. Auis is a place where theory and practice go hand in hand. The boys go to school, not so much for the book learning, though they have plenty of that. They are to ,th® fundamental lessons of living. or to be more exact lessons in self.preeervation.” a, boy lrarna how to keep xJhlt a ',Ve *fd we!K He learns ll°.eat “nd '•'by he eats it.

Rut life Is not all work for them for they have their fun and social good tlmea. They dance In cotillions in the hall room in the Inn. a century and a half old. But there is another very Impor tant factor In their daily program. [They learn how lo keep well. Of course, there are the daily setting up exercises every morning before breakfast, as well as a hygiene lee turn, And the boys are on a strict diet. The bovs distinctly understand that this diet helps in forming eating habits that make for good health. Illness is seldom hoard of in the school. Tht£ is the result of intelli gent co-operation on the part of the boys in eating only the proper foods. After many experiments a diet was found that seemed Ideal in maintain ing good health. The haslc idea of the diet used in the school, is that but one type of food should be eaten at a given meal. Starches and pro terns aro not mixed, and therefore the old formula of meat and potato** Is considered chemically wrong. At breakfast, the .boys eat only milk and fruit. The average menu for breakfast consists of orange Juice, baked apples and cream, with milk to drink. I,unobeon is the " starchy meal. Raw Vegetable salad, two ok three hot yege tables, bread made from whole wheat flour, ground In their own grist mill, butter, with milk make tip the luncheon at noon. This quite.surfme-s until the evening meal •nt* protein meal, dinner, is served without potatoes or bread. It has a salad, meat and green vegetables and occasionally soup. No deeeerts., of any kind arevallowed, candy never, and the boys do not smoke. Kvery boy needs a practical etfuca tion. Without it he Is handicapped ' in many ways in seeking a future career. Here are a Jot of vigorous healthy boys who are in line for pro motion to higher vocational goals, and with a foundation built of good health.
