Pharaoh's Forgotten Wife

CAIRO. Jan. 23 (UP).— Totalitarian Pharaoh Unas, who ruled Egypt in the 19th century before Christ, had a very com pletely forgotten wife, it is now revealed by archaeologists who have unearthed and entered the tomb of a Queen Nebel among royal burials in Sakkara.

The very name of Queen Nebet is unfamiliar to modern Egyptologists, but Zaki Y. Saad, leader of the explorations, has found convincing evidence in the tomb to conclude that she was undoubtedly the royal wife of Unins.

The empty tomb, pronounced rich-! ly sculptured, is adorned with a great array of Inscriptions, adding to knowledge of Egypt's Afth dynasty. A portrait of the queen delicately holding a lotus flower stards over n doorway.

Americans A GOOD 10 cents' WORTH! Not Getting Proper Food

"SPECIAL” TO THE "TELEGRAP!{""----

23

WASHINGTON, Jan. (UP).—Dr M. L. Wilson, Exten- sion director of the agricultural department, estimates that 45,- 000,000 Americans are not gett- ing proper food.

"It is impossible to measure the exact nutritional status of all these people, but we do know that diets such as they are con- suming cannot promote optimum nutrition over long periods,” he told the Southeastern Regional Restaurant convention..

Wilson said the poor nutrition was due to bad food habits and to lack of knowledge of the relation of pro- per food to health.

He urged restaurants to provide well-planned club meals or "blue plate" specials of nutritive foods instead of specialising on sandwiches, Miss Harriet Elliott, Defence Com- mission consumers' counsel, told the convention that improving the nutritional level of the country is a first defence requirement.
