DALE, Editor Muneie, Indiana, Friday, November 2, 1934. Republican Veteran Indorses Minton John W. Scott, former Republican district chairman in Lake county, former Republican member of the state legislature and former Republican candidate for Congress, introduced Sherman Minton, Democratic candidate for the senate, at the Gary Democratic rally last Friday night and indorsed President Roosevelt’s recovery program. “I am putting my love for my country above my partisan affiliations,” said Scott, a World war veteran. “We are at the crossroads of a wonderful recovery movement and as an American citizen I will vote on November 6 to support Mr. Roosevelt and to give the people of America the best opportunity to improve their own welfare they have had in many years.” Mr. Scott termed Senator Arthur R. Robinson “the; greatest bogus statesman Indiana ever sent to Washington” and condemned him for his duplicity with voters. He recalled that six years ago Robinson was promising to make it hot for Wall Street but that he had yet to present a bill even mentioning Wall Street and that he actually ducked the vote on the national securities act. He likewise charged that Robinson “never uttered even a whisper when the Bonus army was being driven out of Washington.”

A Barrel of Apples
“One bad apple can spoil a barrel,” says an old proverb. A case of tuberculosis may, from the public health viewpoint, be like that bad apple—the disease tends to spread from him who has it to those with v r hom he lives. Tuberculosis often “runs in the family”; not because it is inherited, but because of the close contact incidental to family life. But the spread of this disease can be prevented. How? By examining every person who has been in close contact with a case. This means not only medical examination of adults, but also of children. With the aid of the simple, harmless tuberculin test and the X-ray it is now possible to discover if a person is infected, and if so, how much damage, if any, has been done. If any danger signals are discovered, much can be done to prevent the development of the actual disease. Tuberculosis still kills more persons between the ages of 15 and 45 than any other disease. Yet it can be controlled if we will provide treatment for every case and examine every person who has lived in contact with a tuberculous patient. Modern methods have done much to save lives, and the tuberculosis movement has contributed greatly to better health. Soon, the Christmas Seals which financed tuberculosis w'ork will be on sale, and the usual good response may be expected.
SPENDING THE FOOD DOLLAR
By Betty Barclay
How do (you spend your food dollar? Some times these days there are not many food dollars to spend. Economy is in order and unless one sends her food dollar intelligently she is very likely to serve unalanced meals to her fami\y. With two or three dollars in the family purse it is very easy to purchase some meat, some fish and some eggs and have but a few cents left over for other necessities. This will never do. Food authorities have decided that ,one-fifth or more of each dollar spent for food should he spent for such foods as cheese and milk w r hich provide the best type of body building proteins so necessary for the growing bodies of children. One-fifth or less of the dollar should be spent for other protein foods such as meat, fish, eggs, beans, peas and peanut butter. One-fifth or less should be spent for energy providing fats and sweets, vegetable oils, salt pork butter, molasses and sugar. Miscellaneous groceries such as coffe, tea, salt and baking powder should come out of this part of the food dollar. One-fifth or more should be spent for vegetables and fruits. This is a very important food group providing protective minerals and vita- !
mins together -with laxative bulk. The country’s foremost food authorities are warning us against the possibility of scurvy if the daily diet does not provide the fruits and vegetables wheih furnish vitamin C. Orange sand lemons are the foremost sources of this vitamin Bargains are often to be had in this latter food group. Oranges for example are very plentiful this summer and vei^y cheap. Other fruits and vegetables on the market seem to be plentiful and reasonable in price. See to it that your food dollar is expended wisely and you will have a diet that is w r ell balanced. You will be able to serve fruit cups, salads and light desserts. You will have a bite ofc heese, cereals, sweets, whole wheat .bread, fish and eggs each day. Thus each member of the family will be securing the various food constituents which are so necessary. On the other hand, if ,you yield to the temper and spend most of your food dollar on one or two delicacies that appeal to your taste, you are very Ikiely to serve meals that are dificient in some respects. In these depression times one cannot afford to injure the health by an unwise selection of foods.

RAISE YOUR CALVES AND KNOW YOUR COWS
By Walter B. Krueck, Formerly Professor Animal Husbandry Purdue University. Profitable dairy herds are obtained by raising the best calves from the best producing cows. Nature has maintained vitality among wild animals by the law of “survival of the fittest.” The law of “survival of the fittest” should be applied to your dairy herd and you have within your power the ability and privilege of applying this law r . A very successful dairyman once remarked that he made good cow r s by starting them right when they w r ere calves. Calf scours, improper nutrition, exposure, and unsanitary pens may stunt a calf to such an extent that it never matures properly. Calves that are to be raised from now on will do better if they are kept off of grass. A clean, well bedded box stall is desirable. The bedding should be dry as daipp beds help to promote colds and also encourage scours. Best results are obtained if not over tw T o or at most three calves are

allowed to have one pen. The feeding should be regular and the amounts should be carefully gauged. Over-feeding, feeding of a chilled ration or feeding in unsanitary utensils may be the cause of calf scours and also the cause of a great deal of calf mortality. A little attention to see that the temperature of the ration is close to 95 to 100 degrees will avoid digesuve disturbances due to a chilled ration. INSURANCE (Continued from Page One)

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S “ONE REQUEST” For all the kind acts in the interest of and for laboring people President Roosevelt has asked in return but one kind deed from the voters and working people of Indiana. His one personal request is that Senator Arthur R. Robinson be not returned to the United States senate. Your v vote to do this is a vote of confidence in the president and his policies.

Minton Smashes
“Robbie” in Fight
The serious minded Dr, Wirt who drank pink tea and thought he had discovered a Red plot in the conversations that he heard has been sued for $400,000 by one of those he accused. The doctor’s rejoinder was: “I am not w^orth anything.” That puts his financial status in the same class with his criticisms of the New' Deal.
The American Federation of Labor has just counted its friends in the Congress and has issued an appeal for laboring men to work for the re-election of several senators and congressmen. The name of Senator Arthur R. Robinson is conspicuous by its absence from the list.
Shay Minton is 44 years of age, is a dynamic speaker, with rather liberal views and a good personality. He is married and has three 1:ew children. He is also a handsome cuss and makes a fine platform appearance. He has guts and is fighting “Robbie” blow r for blow, including any that are below the belt. Shortly after his nomination he called on President Roosevelt, at the White House, and was told it was absolutely essential to defeat Robinson. Undoubtedly, the President was well aware of the McNutt and anti-McNutt factional
pie. His qualifications for National fight in Hoosier democracy, the Representative are not based on ex- latter faction being led by the for-
mer state chairman, R. Earl Peters. It would seem that “Robbie” is

Senator Frederick VanNuys, in his address, says: “I need Sherman Minton in the United States senate. President Roosev e 11 needs him. Indiana needs two Democratic senators at Washington to help with the work of bringing full recovery to our people at home.”
Ex-Senator Jim Watson’s big toe is sore. That, according to Senator Robinson’s friends, keeps the Lovable Old Humbug from campaigning for Li’l Arthur. That sounds good to some of the folks w'ho would like to gloss over the disrespect Jim holds for Arthur and who know that Jim never has had an intention of turning a hand to save LiT Arthur’s hide. A sore toe never kept Watson from taking the stump in the old days when the G. O. P. had something of w r hich to be proud.
It is an accepted conclusion from the manner in which the G. O. P. is conducting its cam-, paign in Indiana, that managers are putting forth their real effort to elect a block in the general assembly that will harass Governor McNutt and make Republican victory two years hence more than a chance. It would seem they have tricked LiT Arthur into supporting their scheme without the senator being aware of it. Maybe it's retribution for,the vicious attack he made on the G. O. P. central committee just before their convention.
Governor McNutt ought to be thankful that Senator Robinson has opened the door for a good sales campaign on workings of Indiana’s New Deal.

Remember Congressman Gray is an advocate of municipal ownership of public utilities and the right of all people to decide isues of mutual benefit to themselves while Judge Murray’s court issues injunctions against the will of the people deciding or determining profitable acquisitions for themselves. Situation In Muneie In the Ciljy of Muneie the voters must choose for their chief executive between two candidates, who have in the past ocupied the office of mayor, Dr. Rollin H. Bunch, a Democrat, and Johh Hampton, Republican. Although it is quite generally agreed that the former administiAtion of either candidate was not reputable or commendable to Muneie, yet, there should be enough difference between the two aspirants to warrant your support. Muneie has been greatly benefitted by the present Dmocratic administration. Taxes have been materterlly reduced, costs of government have been lessened each year, improvements to the city have been beneficial to all citizens streets, alleys, and garbage collections have been prompt, cleanly, and efficient, fire insurance rates have been greatly reduced because of the commendable record of the fire department, law enforcement has been properly demonstrated, and park programs have enlisted the approval of thousands of citizens. It should be reasonable to expect that another Democratic administration will attempt to follow these policies which the Hampton Republican administration failed to give to the people. The extravagance and costliness of the Hampton regime the theiving and robbeijy of the “paving trust” organized during the Hampton administration, which brought losses of life savings and bankruptcy to hundreds of property owners in Muneie, the uncreditable demeanor of Hampton as mayor of our city, the total laxity of all law enforcement which was proven by the wide-open gambling houses on Walnut street, illicit sale of bootleg liquor on almost evei(y street corner, and the operations of ill-famed ‘divor's” so prominent during the four years which John Hampton served as mayor, should be sufficient justification for the support of the Democratic candidate for mayor of the City of
Muneie.
Let us go to the polls next Tuesday with the knowledge that Democratic administrations have and are accomplishing results for the betterment and welfare of all the people and at least lend your support to the-sincerity of our great President Franklin D. Roosevelt by
counting on capitalizing somewhat on this split. However, there are many Republicans who will never
vote for him.

f : INTERESTING SIDE LIGHTS ON WORLD EVENTS
Murder of King in Prance —Spanish Revolution.
Once the stag._e is set, it doesn’t take much to start a war. The classic example of that occurred in 1914, when the assassination of an obscure archduke in a city few people on this side of the water had ever heard of, set match to powder keg and resulted in the greatest and most destructive conflict in the history of the world. A repetition almost occurred a few weeks ago. King Alexander of i Jugoslavia landed at Marseilles, was. met by Foreign Minister Rarthou of France. Surrounded by ceremony and armed men—the procession started down the main street of the city. Suddenly a fat man leaped to the running hoard of the king’s car, pressed the trigger of a new-style sub-machine gun which is hardly larger than a revolver. Twenty shots split the air—and Alexander and Barthou j lay dying. The assassin was cut down by the. sabres of cavalry officers, almost torn to pieces by the crowd. All the detatils of the killing were at once flashed to every corner of the world—it was dramatic, vivid, “stagey.” But in the chancellories of the great nations, diplomats feverishly awaited the answer to a single question: “What w r as the assassin’t nationality?” On that seemingly minor point pended the peace of Europe! The ambition of France today is to establish a “ring of steel” around Germany—if anything, she fears the central powers more now than she did before the World war. To accomplish her aim, she must enlist the cooperation of the nations, like herself, bound Germany—and the most important of these are Italy and Jugoslavia. A difficult problem is caused by the fact that Jugoslavia and Italy are extremely unfriendly—while they maintain formal relations, accompanied by all the polite trappings of oldworld diplomacy, each hates and fears the other. The object of Minister Barthou in inviting Alexander to France was to smooth out if possible the difficulties between Jugoslavia and Italy. Jugoslavia is the main link in the prospective “ring of steel” and so long as she and Italy are close to sword’s points, France’s purpose cannot be accompanished. Therein is the reason for the vast ii iportance attached to the nationality of Alexander’s assassin. Had he been Italian, it is safe to say that Italy and Jugoslavia would have been at war -within 24 hours —and it might have been only a matter of time before all other European powers, and possibly this counttry, would have been drawn
in.
Fortunately for world peace, the assassin was a Jugoslavian—a member of a secret society pledged to wipe out Alexander’s dictatorship, which has incurred the en-
his people.

The trouble isn’t over, however —the entire European situation has again been upset. Alexander will be followed on the throne by King Peter, who is still a child. Until he comes of age, Jugoslavia will be governed by a regency— and there are grave doubts if the turbulent Jugoslavian peaple can be kept under control. Again, as in the past, all eyes are turned to the Balkins, the powder-keg of

“Labor has but one obligation to fulfill as it goes to the polls in Indiana this fall and that is to repay President Roosevelt for the many blessings he has granted, by refusing to return Senator Robinson to the United States Senate. We know what the President’s attitude toward labor is; we know the labor attitude of Sherman Minton; but who in this wide world is able to tell what the attitude of Mr. Robinson is today, now that he is conducting the fight of Wall Street against the President, or what it will be tomorrow?

By MARYE DAHNKE, Kraft Cheese Institute. The little brown lunchbox of old-time school days, with its strap and shiny buckle may be gone forever! But there’s no doubt that the school lunch is the most important, and by all odds, the most pleasant reality of any day’s cuisine. It’s the high adventure, the brightest spot of any schoolboy’s life. The mother who truly knows her A, B, C’s in food, knows cheese. It may be used in all sorts of interesting ways to lend interest, variety, and health-giv-ing values to the everyday school
lunch sandwich.
Among the most versatile of cheeses for sandwich-making — the ideal one for children is the all-milk cheese food, Velveeta—a cheddar type cheese to which whole milk minerals have been added to make it doubly and triply valuable in the child diet. Because of its mildness, amiability, and smooth-spreading qualities it stands ready to make any
sort of variety.

If the luncheon’s to be at home the perfect hot sandwich can be made with Velveeta, bacon, and white bread. Butter one side of a piece of white bread and toast it first, then spread with a layer of Velveeta and a couple of slices of bacon. Place under the broiler flame. (Low temperature, please, always for cooking cheese, for therein the magic lies.) In a moment, presto! A sandwich for any scholar to feast his soul upon. Some other perfect schoolluncheon sandwiches — ready to pack into the lunch box, are Velveeta plus peanut butter, plus whole wheat bread. Or mild American cheese, salad spread (mayonnaise mixed with condiments) and white bread. Graham crackers and cheese—there’s
