Lone Sailor Is Held Up by Immigration Officers. Loa Angeles.--Another man without • country--one whose only reward for an 8,800-mile cruise In a 19-foot boat has been a short stay behind the bars of the immigration station In Los Angeles-- Has turned up on the west coast Fred Rebell, literally a citlxen of no land, sailed into Los Angeles harbor recently In his tiny craft after more than a year on blue water, en route here from Australia. Born in Windau, Latvia, whea that land was a part of the czar's Russia, Rebell went to Australia twenty years ago, but did not become a citizen of the "land down under." White he was away Latvia became a republic, and he an expatriate. • In 19,'U he conceived the Idea of his lone Journey across southern seas to the Injted StiUes and began to pre-' pare for it by studying navigation in the Sydney library. . He made his oWn .sextant and bought .three cheap watches for his - chronometers^ He bought,his boat--a 19-foot clinker-built skiff with a large bowsprit and a sloop rig and equipped it with a canvas canopy which could be drawn part way over the open cockpit as protection against roiiKh weather; He started out in December, 1931, cruised through the southern islands, touching at Suva, Samoa and many ^other points and navigating and handling his little craft single handed. At one stage of his long trip the center board of his ship rotted away. Rebell repaired that, and later In midocean successfully repaired one of his watches. His library-learned naviga» tion was eminently successful. When he reached Honolulu he obtained a GO-day distressed seaman's permit. He got under way again and headed for the California coast. It took hlni 0<J days to reach Los Angeles and as soon as he set foot ashore he was detained at the Immigration station because his GO-day permit had expired. The "distressed seaman" had spent all of his 60 days at sea. To add to his distress, his boat which he had steered without damage across thousands of miles of deep water was Wrecked inside the Los Angeles breakwater by the violent storm which recently lashed the western seaboard. W illiani Slavens McNutt, the author, came to Rebell's rescue and bailed him out and the man without a country Is now temporarily living in Los Angeles, completing plans to write about his long trip, and Incidentally planning another cruise. .

D. r Nutritionist) of the Elizabeth Mctormick Memorial Fund and PYi mi of Nutrition Service. Illinois Emergency Relief Commission. Food Sense Saves Food Dollars We have reason to believe that proper nutrition is the most important sin-' gle factor in the maintenance of good health. It behooves us therefore io this present situation, when economy has become the watchword of the times, to apply the pruning shears with discrimination. To provide adequate nutrition, the diet of a family must furnish enough carbohydrates, fats and proteins to yield the standard energy needs of the various members of thp family group. In Interest of economy, we must make these the carriers 'of the' other dietary essentials: first, sufficient proteins of good quality fori' growth and maintenance of body tissues ; second, enough of the essential mineral elements; and third;,, enough of each of the necessary vitamins. During the World war, when food saving and economy became necessary^ MiSs Lucy Gillett, of tlie Ne.w York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, gave the following ftdvlce: Divide your-mo.ney into fifths and'spend one-flfth, morte or less, for fruits and vegetables; one fifth or more for milk and cheese; one-fifth or less for meat,, fish and eggs; one-fifth or more for bread and cereals• onefifth or less for fats and sugars and other groceries. This is^still good advice. Many families on restricted in comes would live more economically. and at the same time eat more healthful food, if this plan were followed. If further, retrenchment is necessary, this should not be effected by reducing the amount of milk in the diet. The expenditure for milk may well amount to one-third of the week's food bud get, and somewhat more than one-fifth should be spent for fruits and vegetables. Cereals, the cheapest source of energy, if well, chosen, may also supply some of the Important minerals and vitamins and should not be reduced. The saving should take place rather in the other two food groups, namely, meat and fish, and fats and sugar. The following guide for meal planning should prove helpful: > Every Day. Milk, a pint for each adult and if possible a quart for each child. Breads .and cereals, such as cornmeal, oatmeal, wheat cereals, rice. Oranges or canned- tomatoes espe-. cially for children. > Potatoes. Another vegetable, fresh or canned Two or three times a week this vege table should be a green one, such as v • V J* - j Adelaide Spohn, Ph. D. spinach, (tthbat^ turnip tops, bearfa. /'!:• y Two to Four Timfes a '• ^ fruit, dried or fresh.*1 'Dried beans or peaav • "Eggs, especially for childreli& '• 1 Meaty fish or cheese. • • v-.! No matter what scheme is followed in planning well balanced diets, milk is .of paramount importance and should be given first consideration. It should never be omitted from the diet,, no matter how limited theTmdget may be. The ideal allowance is a quart of hiilk for every child and for the pregnant and nursing, mother. Everyone should have at least a pint of mfjfc each day. Cereals and breads, of necessity, make up the bulk of a low-cost dietary. Some whole grain cereals, such as oatmeal, whole wheat cereal and brown rice, should be included, since they are particularly rich in vitamin B, in phosphorus and iron. Fruits and vegetables are the thtal essential group of foods. The citrtM fruits head the list in Importance and should be used generously when they are cheap, fortunately when this Is not the case, tomato Juice, either canned or fresh, may take their place in the diet as a valuable source Of Vitamin C. Only fruits and vegetables in season should be chosen. Apples may be bought at a low price during most of the year. Bananas are often cheap and when properly ripened, are an excellent food, even for children. The dried fruits, especially pruned* apricots, peaches and black figs shouMf be Used generously. They are cheap and an excellent source of iron. Pe* tatoes should be used at least once it day or even more often in extremely low-cost diets. At least one other vegetable should be provided each daj^-. , ; * .. 1 i-i •if rrire r- e i•s" , • " -- - the greatest magazini s offer ever put on t >y any newspaper, for just Think ^of it, a few cents more tha n the regular price of The Plaindealer y< favorite ] 3u get your magazine. 1 - 1 • , V • • OFtGREAT MAGAZINE CLUBS Clip tKe coupon Don t wsit another minute!
