ARy Spring Tonics in __ Citrus Fruits ! Forty-three million boxes of oranges and grapefruit were shipped last year. This meant an average of 58 oranges and five grapefruit for every person in the United States. The fact that the consumption is steadily increasing means that we are learning to take our Spring tonics from these delight- ful fruits instead of from a bottle. Half a grapefruit, set in a mound of crushed American ice, or a glass of orange juice a-tinkle with ice is an ideal start for a Spring day, to ward off Spring Fever and that "tired feeling."

De- scribes Noted Antiquity at Arts Club Meeting. Wilford 8. Conrow, noted inter, at the Arts Club. He spoke on the Great Chalice of Antiock, illustrating his lecture with numbers of slides loaned by the present owners of the Chalice, which is at present in safe- keeping in the vaults of a New York bank. “The Great Chalice of Antioch,” which seems destined to fill an ‘im- portant place in the modern Christian world, was discovered by chance in the ruins on the site of the first Christian Church in old Antioch, in 1910. It was ecpuired by Kouchakji Brothers of Paris, dealers in antiqui- ties, and was there restored by Andre, the most eminent aritst known in the restoration of antiques. In 1914, when the Germans ap- proched Paris, the Chalice was sent to a member of the firm in New York for safe-keeping. Dr. Gustav Eisen, the distinguished Swedish archeologist has made it the subject of intensive study, and has dated the exterior container vessel - as having been sculptured during the first century A. D. by an unknown Greek artist, This outer cup was undoubtedly made to hold the inner cup of crudely beaten silver. Through uo positive deduction can be made, it is believed that this inner cup so carefully preserved and so richly encased is the same cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper, and this belief, Mr. Conrow supported with_evidence so convine- ing that a profound impression was made; upon every member of the big audience. The outer cup, comprising twelve is a network of vines in design and symbolic de- Two of the figures repre- sent Christ, in youth and in maturity; and the other 10 are seated figures of the apostles, all of whom, through the studies and research of Dr. Bisen have been indentified. FARM BILL VOTE DATE SET | Senate Committee to Act on Mar- keting Measure Friday. The Senate agriculture committee {agreed today to vote on the co-opera- tive marketing bill prepared by the Department of Agriculture —next Friday. Chester Grey of the American Farm Bureau Federation requested that he be permitted to appear in i opposition to the amendment inserted on the House floor including naval stores among co-operative preducts. Chairman Norris declared that since there was ‘“no opposition to the bill as a whole either in the committee or the Senate and the only dispute point was that over naval stores,” he favored postponement of action.
