of the American Medical associa

that foods have on the body in health
and disease. Dr. W. W. Duke of

ur. Alonzo k. laylor, formerly of

how the informed person may build
a complete diet around a quart of
milk as a nucleus. One must have
balanced proteins, definite quantities
of mineral salts, the correct vita
mins, and proper variety, he said.
Dr. Kuthetrine Scott Bishop, of the

It was originally, owned by John I'o

period a secret tunnel led to the riv-or.
instances of moderate Ruins were
noted. On the whde, however, bonds
moved to lower ground largely as a
result of unsettled conditions in the
stock market. Some of the selling
of active United States government
bonds may be traced to that fact
that a large amount cf these issues
exempted from taxation under in
come tax law will be reduced July 'J.
This would not, however, account
for the selling of the tax exempt
Jis which also moved lower.
Almost without exception foreign
bonds yielded to the selling pressure
ot the past week, extreme losses
amounting to three points. Eu
ropean bonds reacted to the down
ward trend more readily than did
those cf the South American countries-
In fact, buying of the iMexi

formal call for their deposit would
be issued July 9 carried those se
curities back to approximately the
same level as a week ago
