"Get up hunjrry" is tho slotran for
football men ontf n motto for every
orio doslrinjc maximum efficiency of
diet, according to Dr. Charles M.
Wharton, line coach.
Nineteen centrt provides a meal for tho
"University of Pcnnnylvanla foolliall team.
Tho menu Includes everything1 necessary to
nourish body nml mind to the best possible
.advantage. This Is tho cxpcrlonQ' of
coaches of the team that defeated tho Uni
versity of Michigan Saturday and promlees
to be one of tho most successful tho Uni
versity has ovor turned out.
The twenty-four men on the I'enn football"
squad eat threo meals n day, seven days
eacn, weeic through tho scanon at ho train
ing tablo of tho Athletic Association under
;the eyes of conches ever watchful that
..nothing but the bent Is served tlicjri. And,
ilt can all bo done for i a week each, Tlto
actual cost to tho men and tho Athl:tlc
Association, which makes up the deficit, Is
more than thnt, but tho excetn In not a
charge for food, it Is tho "overhead" the
commissary pays for four waiters who
servo tho squad, tho threo cooks, laundry,

The nineteen cents that goes Into the
Fenn squad's meals pays Iho retail costs
tZ tho food Berved at the training table.
It makes provision for nil tho meat, tho
men should have- each week, for potatoes.
U, cereal and vegetables. A diet more elab
orate and costing more would do tho foot
,ball men no good, Dr. Charles M. AVharton,
lino coach and captain of tho I'enn team
twenty years ago, declared today. What
tho Penn men eat Is tho food experlcnco
has shown Is tho most beneficial It would
fee possible to put on tho training table.
Tho training tablo diet differs In no ex
traordinary way from that many nro accus
tomed to. Its most salient characteristic Is
that thcro nro no second ocrvlngs. Foot
ball mon cannot como back for more. Onto
smptlcd. the plates nro carried off the
table. Bvon tho first serving, their normal
allowance, would strike many nH niggardly.
, This view was taken by so many new men
of the squad In days past that tho Inflex
ible rule, "no seconds," was put down,
and there are no leniencies shown any one.
Breakfast at tho training tablo Is an
ventfseldom salted with variety. The first
course Is stewed fruit, prunes, peaches or
apricots. After that Is oatmeal or nomo
other cereal, eggs, unaccompanied by ham
or bacon, and never fried, and n few pieces
ml ioa.au .mere is no lea, conrce or milk lor
tho squad.
Lunch usually starts with soup. Then
thcro may bo lamb chops, a limit of two
Dclntr set for each man. or steak, end from
tills there Is but one piece served nt tho
.meat. A slice of stoalt might be enough
,to suit any ono were not the coaches care
ful to seo that t Is np longer than three
Inches nor -wider than two nor Immoderately
thick, Creamed potatoes go with to meat
and there may bo hominy or boiled rice. Tea
and codeo and milk uro under ban.
Dinner Is the most Important meal, but
there also tho trimming Is carried on by
the coaches as at the other two. Dinner In.
eludes .soup, roast beef, roast chicken or
rrpast lamb. Of none of these, however,
may any man eat more than the equivalent
of ono fatr-slzcd slice of roaxt beef. Tho
'potato Is again present and there are
usually canned string beans, peas ahd pos
sibly! stewed celery. At this final meal of
the day the squad has dessert. Tilts, though
Is limited to rlctj puddings or Ico cream.
NO "MAKE-OVEllS"
The training tnblo's nineteen cents a.
neal provides food like this throughout the
football season. Everything served Is of
good' quality and there has been no In
crease In the price this .year. The rule
is made, furthermore, without reckoning on
the- economies of "make-overs", Food np.
pears; on the training table only once.
lash Is unknown there, Tho food Is bought
and served fresh for each meal.
' "H Is the best diet wo can figure out,"
1)octer Wharton declared. "It must meet
the most severe demands ever put upon a
seheme Of feeding. The men must be nour
ished, Into a condition that will give them
tho surplus vitality to withstand punish
ment, bcatlnjs and the stress nf bodily con
flict spread over a longer period than any
other group of men undergo.
. "Besides that, they must be fed for their
brains. There must bo enough food to
maintain the budy at Its best pitch, yet. not
so much that mental alertness and capability
trill be. In the slightest degree Impaired."
'Doctor Wharton declares that Imager Is
merely psychological after a small amount
f,:ooa nss oeen eaien.
CIt any one try eating slowly and talk.
inn a booh uem oeiween ones." he said.
Tho person may believe the contents of
Uis plats will not be nearly enough, but If
instructions are followed it will b found
hat halt the usual amount of food Is more
nan a, plenty. The "gel-up-hungry slogan
is not such a calamity to hearty eaters If
they eat moro slowly. They will find It

NEW FOOD ON

This is Dashccn, It's u tropical
DASHEEN, NEW FOOD,
BOON TO HOUSEWIVES
u.
S. Expert to Demonstrate
Variety of Uses for
Tropical Vegetable
SIMILAR TO THE POTATO
Daoheen, a new food from tho tropics
that hns a delicious nutty tasto and can bo
prepared In as many ways as a potato,
will be Introduced to Philadelphia house
wives on Friday afternoon by tho United
States Department of Agriculture through
tho Civic Club, which will hold n meeting
for that purpose Iti the rooms of tho Ethical
Culturo Society, at 1334 Spruce street.
Tho new edlhlo Is a plant similar to tho
well-known "Klephant Kar" plant, and pro
duces a bulb which enn bo proparcd In
many different ways. Samples of the bulb
will bo given out at tho meeting by n. A.
Young, who will bo hero from Wnshlngton
to deliver nn Illustrated address on tho
food.
Tho daBhcen may bo baked, stuffed, scal-
. loped, boiled, fried, -mashed, creamed or
made Into salad with amazing results, ac
cording to tho Department of Agriculture,
which gives tho recipes for tho different
dishes. It can also be mado Into soup, pie,
crrlddln cakes, nuddlng or used ns a filling
for fowl. It can also be candled with
palatable results. .
Tho dashecn is used extensively In tropi
cal climes, and Is said to be an old favor
ite, dating oven back to prehistoric times.
Whether this Is true or not Is not definitely
known, but Government botnnlsta found It
growing .In abundance In Trinidad and other
parts of tho West Indies. It Is thought that
Its namo Is derived from the French phrase
"do la Chine" or "da Chine" (pronounced
dasheon), meaning "from China."
Tho ' dasheen, though delicious In Its
various cooked forms, cannot be eaten raw.
Certain acrid qualities make It extremely
Irritant to tho mouth br any part of the
skin thnt It may touch. These qualltlos
nro killed In cooking. In poring them a
level teaspoon of sal aoda to n quart of
water will also nullify the Irritating effects
and keep tho hands free from sting.
The dasheen Is In many ways similar to
the potato, Its composition containing half
again as much starch and protein. Tho
nutty flavor is also pronounced.. Another
characteristic that makes It popular through
out southern countries Is that It can bo
forced to grow In shoots, which are tender
and taste like asparagus. Also fine flour
can be mado from tho bulb. When made
Into bread, grlddlecakes or any other dish
that requires flour, It gives a distinct and
pleasant taste.
The dashecn was taken up by the Govern,
ment several years ago and In being culti
vated at different Government stations In
Florida and South Carolina. It does not
require a rich soil and as much as forty
bushels havo been grown on one-tenth of an
acre.
Tho meeting on Friday will b"v held under
the auspices of the food and economics com
mittee of the Civic Club, of which Mrs. W.
H. I.00 Is chairman. Mrs. Lea extends an
Invitation to Philadelphia housewives to
attend the lecture and learn about tho new
food.

WOMAN WARNS U. S.
OF MORMON MENACE
Mrs. Lulu L. Shepard Tells W.
C. T. U. Sect May Hold
Balance of Power
HAS 1,500,000 ADEPTS
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 22. The Mormon
ChurCh now holds the political balance of
power In eleven western States, and If It
'gets control of only two moro It can hold
tho balance of power In Congress, Mrs.
Lulu L. Shepard declared In nn nttnek on
the Utnh religious sect before the Womnn'B
Christian Temperance Union here today.
Sho said:
"Utnh has no anti-saloon league nor a
Prohibition party, and yet thcro haB never
been a time from the 24th day or July,
1847, thnt Utah could not have been dry
by the order of tho prophet of tho Mormon
kingdom.
"Some people nro wondering why tho cru
sado against tho Mormon kingdom Is being
waged so persistently Just now. Mormon
Ism has grown more rapidly In the last, nrty
years than any other Church, and today
they number a million and a half of mem
bers. One person In every sixty Is a MorftJ
"Wherein lies tho power of the Mormon
Church? you ask. In Its great commercial
ism, for tho Mormon Church, as a Church
Is tho rldhest In the world. The Church to
day has 27,000,000 hoarded up In Wall
street, ns a start toward the control br any
Interests or trusts; and back of that Is
$200,000,000 moro quick money In Utah.
'Recently tho Church has been buying
up land In South America. .They are Just
now planning to make New York Stato
the greatest Mormon State, because It was
In that Stato that Joseph Smith founded
the church,
"Today tho Mormon Church holds the
balance of power politically In eleven States.
In eight of these sparsely settled States
thcro nro hardly as many people as In the
State of Indiana, and yet Indiana has but
two senatorial votes, while there are six
teen votes from the eight western States.
If t,he Mormon Church gets control of two
moro western States, making thirteen In
all, they can hold tho balance of power In
Congress. I

Slump in Prices Looked for Be

of Up-State Consumers
HEADING, Pa., Nov. 22. Fears of farm
ers that winter might catch them with great
stores of potatoes on hand, the active boy.
edtt by many housewives against the tubers
and the fact that the potato crop was tior
mal or nearly up to the average are.llltely
to cause a slump In prices In eastern Penn
sylvania In the nclir future, disinterested
observers say.
In the great potato-growing districts of
upper Derks and Lehigh Counties, which
ship largely to Philadelphia nnd New York
markets, the crop was abundant except In
Isolated cases.
Shipments this year hnve been small,
however. The war prices received In 1918
for wheat and tho high prices to which
wheat and other grains have gone this year
Induced farmers to corner foodstuffs, with
the result thnt there Is n tie-Up of the
potato market.

of absolute cleanliness the
of cars, constantly m operation in every part of the
country under conditions of dust and dirt unavoidable
in railroad operation and annually accommodating
approximately twenty-five million passengers, requires
an elaborate organization trained by years of experience
and maintained at a large' annual expenditure.
The modern Pullman car contains everything
essential to cleanliness and sanitation which the best
experts upon these subjects have been able to devise.
After every trip each car is thoroughly cleaned ahd
at frequent intervals fumigated in accordance with
state and federal standards. "
To accomplish this three hundred and eighty three
cleaning stations, with over four thousand yard em
ployes, are maintained in various cities.
By such thorough and consistent effort every
Pullman passenger receives the greatest possible pro
tection from the discomfort of dust and dirt usually
associated with railway travel.
