He gave this advice to members of the Amateur Athletic Association in a discussion recently.

be put on milk, butter, fruit and vegetables.

"Give Me A Sailor" (Queen's Theatre, to-day) Good clean fun in this picture of the girl who,-sending a picture of herself for a cooking competition, wins a "legs" contest and is skyrocketed to fame in the good old American manner. Martha Raye is a scream, and is supported by Bob Hope and Betty Grable.
