Persuaded to come to Gesteas
wood. A large number of'eitizens
have been bringing pressure to hear
all summer upon Or. Green of
Grangeville to visit Cottonwood,
but SO fal has fatty refused owing
to his large practice in Grangeville
where he keeps two men busy all
the time. Last week some our 1citi-
zens waited upon him in person,
and after MUCH persuasion succeded
in gaining his consent to make a
short visit to Cottonwood this fall.
The Dr., tells us that his trip
must necessarily be brief as the
Grangeville populace and surround
ing community demand his entire
attention. We who have t1ied so
hard to get the Dr., hefe will take
advantage of this opportunity to
show our appreciation OF bis favor
and endeavor to force upon him
the impression that Cottonwood
deserves more of his time and we
may be able to get him to come
oftener. Perhaps when the railroad
comes to Cottonwood and Grange
vile becomes a suburb that we will
be blessed with the Dr., and his
family permanently.

EASILY DIGEsTED FOOn.

Toasting bread until it becomes
brown largely converts the starch
into dextrin; and hence, so far as
the brown portion is concerned, one
of the processes Of digestion is gone
through before the bread is taksn
into the stomach. 1t will be found
that the thinner the slices OF bread
and the more thoroughly they are
toasted, the easier digestion will be
and when all portions OF the slice o.
bread ara thoroughly toasted,-not
burned, but still changed to a deer
brown color-it will be found to b.
still more easily digested.
