The fable that Diogenes lived in a tub arose out of a comment made by Seneca— that a man so crabbed ought to live in a tub like a dog. Asked if he had anything to offer the court before sentence was passed, a con-| victed man replied in the negative, plaining that his lawyer had it all. ex- While attending a surgeon’s conven- tion, a Missouri doctor was fleeced out of | $10 000 by confidence men. Anyway, he has witnessed one perfect operation. Schenectady, N. Y. has established a Tax Arrears Board to settle delinquent tax bills on property by compromise in- stead ‘of the old system of foreclosing ‘on tax liens and selling the property at auc- tion. The arrangement has its advantages | ‘host to engineering | tration. | posals for loans and grants | in unlimited quanti in definite localities with certain people; | in other words, it won’t work everywhere with everyone. There is one time when most men folk of Key West go to church and that is | at their own funeral. This is, perhaps, a little bit late. The Stone Church Fellow- | ship Club is making a drive to go to church | on Sanday, February 25 and_ is having | stickérs printed to be placed in store win- | dows-and automobiles, ete. as a gentle re- | minder and urge. Let’s help swell the | churches on that day and make a resolu- tion to go oftener in the future. | Roosevelt, with a background of seven | generations of wealth and power, could | not be otherwise than he is. Never hav- | ing Wad to earn a dollar he never could | know its value. Every public office he | held has cost the taxpayers mountainous | sums of money. When he left the gover- | norship of New York, the incoming gov- | ernor, Lehman, was faced ‘with a deficit of $1:00,000,000, a staggering sum whith | Lehman, a good business man, wiped out | within a few years. After seven years of | Roosevelt profligacy, the United States is facing a financia) situation that baffles the imagination. It is obvieus that the next president of this country be ® ‘business an first ‘and a politician last. | tent without harm, and the same is true of WATER STUDY UNDER WAY Key West is scheduled today to play and financial ex- aminers of the Reconstruction Finance Cor- | poration and the Works Progress Adminis- These experts are studying the plans, specifications and financing pro- totaling $1,- 300,000 for the construction of a fresh water pipeline and pumping stations from | vicinity of Homestead to Key West. Members.of. the ‘Florida, Keys Aque- duct Commission afidjthe engineering and | legal @xperts employed by them went over the plans at a conference in Miami yes- terday. Today they are to make a field examination of the route along the old line of the Florida East Coast Railroad to be utilized in laying the pipeline. The trip | will conclude when the experts reach Key | West. In this city they will find a fairly com- | | pleted water distribution system at present , | carrying salt water to fire hydrants and buildings for sanitary purposes. It is one of the incongruities of the federal re- | habilitation plan for Key West that while | provision was made for distribution water | throughout the city no fresh water for dis- | tribution was provided. If the lending agencies do finally de- cide to advance the $1.300,000 sought by the aqueduct ¢ommission and fresh water | s is piped to Key, ‘West it is certain that the consumption in this city and along the Florida Keys will be heavy erough to meet all operating, fi- | nancing and maintenance costs. In short, | the water system should be self-supporting | and self-liquidating. Water is needed along the keys for agricultural, commercial and household purposes; water is needed in Key West for commercial, househoid and _ industrial purposes. There is no question in the minds of competent judges of such matters but that a fresh water supply would re- sult in a large construction and expansion program in Key West. As the water be-| came available the demand would grow | larger—a factor that must be considered | by the experts when they are gauging the self-liquidating aspects of the loan sought from RFC. | Lest it be eonstrued from this ee torial that Key West has no fresh water now available, The Citizen hastens to state | that the present supply of fresh water.cap- | tured in cisterns and tanks is adequate for | human consumption, for household use | and for commercial building at present. | The supply to be brought here under the proposed project would augment what is | now available. Cistern and storage con- struction would not be required in future buildings. It is the future of Key West that is bound up in this water supply pro- posal. The Citizen hopes there is no further | delay by the federal agencies in supplying | water for the distribution system already | installed here by the government at great | cost. FOOD AND HEALTH Popular ideas about food are a strange admixture of truth and fiction, according toa recent article by Dr. Lieb, an authority | 9. on diet. Particularly is this the case with | respect to notions of what is good for peo- | ple, or not good for them, under varying | | circumstances. For example, bananas and nuts were | long thought to be hard to digest, but if the bananas are ripe and the nuts are chewed sufficiently they are among the most easily digestible of foods. The prejudice against raw foods is also unwarranted, it is said. Raw corn, | wheat and other starches in moderate | amounts are completely digested, while raw potatoes are 78 per cent digestible. | | The craving of some children for raw pota- | toes may be indulged to a reasonable ex- raw cabbage and lettuce. | Drinking water during meals was | long thought to be harmful to the diges- | tion, but for normal] persons it is now de- | clared to be beneficial if sipped in between | | swallows of solid food. Forcing children to eat spinach or | other foods which they do not like is not good for them, as the feeling of repulsion which they experience hinders digestion. While the doctor does not say it in so | ‘many words, it appears that a rather safe | rule of diet is to eat what one likes, pro- | vided it does not produce any disagreeable | after effects. And regardless of advice, | that is what most of us insist on doing any- way. | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN eoccccescocces bt H A‘PRAYER \TO THE Scececsccansnadeccccoose ALMIGHTY ONE MANY LARGE PARTIES were By ART ESPINOLA given last night in the Casa Ma- eeecesccvcveeececooseese rina Cocktail Lounge.
