not pronounced absolutely poisonous.
Not long ago one Of these dyspeptics
began q crusade against potatoes, and
not content with that sacrilegious on
slaught, actually laid her unholy hands
on baked beans. Both these old-timers
were held up to ridicule by this daugh-
ter of Sycorax and denounced as unfit
for human food. Angels and ministers
of grace defend US! Potatoes and
beans, baked ones at that, not fit to eat !
Do you hear that, Bostonians, and you
people out in Utah and Colorado, who
boast of your potatoes as the finest thing
that ever garnished beefsteak and mine
ofwealth almost equal to your gold?
Another of these feminine faddists
has the impudence to make fun of pork
and bacon. According to this Witch of
Endor, who knows 1t all, the world has
been mistaken all these years and de-
voured millions of tons of these cured
meats, which, had the poor fools only
known it, was not fit for human food.
SO don't order any more bacon for
breakfast, or salt pork, with cream
gravy, for your dinner. For has not
Miss Dyspepsia Spinster proved that
both are bad for the digestion and pro-
vocative Of immortality ? So, one by
one, potatoes, beans, salt pork and ba.
con were disposed of, and had to 60,
but the worst was TO come. Would you
believe it, one Of these zreforn1ers Is out
against eggs for breakfast That was q
little too much, and right there we be-
gan. to get hot. We, might have
agreed sulkily to have a;feW of our fav-
orites Topped oR-but the woman or
man who tries to make us put up with
an eggless breakfast invites war. We
are expecting every minute to hear 8
magazine warwhoop, Of the feminine
gender, against sausage, and cornbread,
and even buckwheat cakes. Nothing
Is sacred from their scurrilous pens,
and we are half inclined to hide away
q few of Jour favorites, as squirrels doin
the fall, before these Amazons fall foul
of them and Danish them toquarantine.
What's the matter with these women,
anyhow? Have they lost their
stomachs, or did they never have any?
Have they lost their appetites lolling in
boudoirs and resting their brains BY
writing ''rot" for magazines? Quit
going to late suppers with the "smart
set :" abstain for awhile from matiuees
and peanut candy; 60 out to your
Cousins farm aud help to do the churn-
ing, washing and woodsawing for
awhile and you will feel better. After
a course of exercise in the open air,
and the unusual experience ofa little
real work, you will return home In a
better frame Of mind and with q de-
cided increase of knowledge. You will
have found out not only what is really
good to eat, but be able to eat it, and
ten to one you will recall your scornful
anathemas against the good "old re.
liable'' and order for breakfast bacon
and eggs, with potatoes on the side.

Must SnraY all Trees.


E. L. Smith, chairman Oregon state
board of horticulture, calls attention to
the law and its penalties for San Jose
scale spraying, in communication to
the Oregonian of which the following is
part:
The San Jose scale is one of the most
dreaded pests the horticulturist has to
contend with, and its presence is a con-
stant menace not only to fruit trees and
nurseries, but to many ofour ornamental
trees and shrubs as we'll, even among
our forest trees it is equally suited with
the willow and the Alder as with the
cherry and the apple.
There is no public fund that can be
applied for the abating OF this nuisance ;
nor ought there to be, for it is the plain
duty under the law for every lot and
land owner to keep his premises clean
OF injurious insects, and if he refuses
and neglects to do SO the horticultural
commissioner can have it done and the
expense OF the disinfection will be paid
by the county court and lien thereby
placed upon his property for the amount
so paid
Every fruit tree ought to receive one
spraying, whether infested with scale or
not,and renewed vigor and growth will
be the result.
What to spray with is an important
consideration. The old Oregon formula
for scale is as follows: so pounds un-
slaked lime, so pounds -four of sulphur,
90 pounds common salt. Slake the
lime in enough water to do it thor
oughly; add the sulphur and boil at
least one hour, adding water if necessary.
Then add the, salt and boil 15 minutes
more. Add water to make l50 gallons,
and spray hot through coarse nozzle.
Experiments made during the past
two years by several United States ex-
pertinent stations have demonstrated
that salt as factor in the compound is
useless, and is therefore eliminated; it
has further been shown, notably at the
Geneva station and at the University of
Tennessee, that the long and dsagreea-
BILE process of boiling in a kettle the
lime and sulphur can be dispensed with.
The intense heat of the lime while slak-
ing has been found sufficient to form
perfect sulphide of lime.
The proportions | would recommend
for scale work are 80 pounds fresh lime,
80 pounds sulphur, s pounds caustic
potash or soda. When the lime is at
its greatest boiling point, stir in the
sulphur and the potash or soda, and
then thoroughly incorporate the mixture
in like manner as you would mix bed
OF mortar. In order that the heat may
not be lessened it will be best to use hot
water in shaking the lime. This amount
should be reduced by the addition OF 100
gallons Of water, II less quantity is de-
sired, use proportionate parts.

Politics BeginnIng to Move.

With the June election less than four
months off, things political are begin
ming to move. Although Wasco county
is overwhelmingly republican, the ma
jority party is never cock-sure of elect
ing all its nominees for county offices,
and success at the nominating conven-
tions doesn't always mean success at
the polls The people of Wasco county
have way of their own when it comes
to putting men into Office. Sometimes
the party ticket is scratched because
the other fellow is the better man or
local pride works for home support; /;
sometimes the scratching is revengeful
knitting. Of the nine county offices
four are filled with emocrats-judge,
treasurer, one commissioner and asses
sor.
At the election June 6, Wasco county
will elect county judge, one
commissioner, sheriff, clerk, treas
urer, school superintendent, sur
veyor, assessor, coroner. This coun-
ty will also elect one senator and two
representatives of its own. The county
conventions are usually held the latter
part of March, with the primaries acou.
pie weeks earlier.
Hood River seldom pulls many plums
out of the political pie, and at this writ
ing political aspirants are not numer-
GUS in this neck of the woods, leastwise,
no one is making any noise. Several
leading citizens have been mentioned
for state senator, among them John Le-
land Henderson, L. N. Blowers and E.
l.. Smith. The Glacier approached these
men on the subject and here are their
replies: Mr.. Henderson said it was the
first he had heard of it. He assured
the reporter that he was too busy to seek
office, but If the people want him and
he thinks he can help his community he
will accept the nomination for senator
from Wasco county. Mr.. Blowers frankly
admitted he would be grateful for the
honor, but stated that he had no desire
for the nomination if he must partici-
pate in an undignifed squabble. Mr..
Smith took it as a joke and said he
didn't want an office.
If Hood River is given the senator
ship, any one of these men would repre-
sent the co lnty with honor and dignity
at the state capital Mr.. Blowers has
put in 10 years of good, hard work for
repubicanism in Oregon, and his party
could well afford to do the handsome by
giving him seat in the upper house of
the state legislature. Mr.. Henderson
was formerly democrat, but convinced
his earlier beliefs were at error in prin-
ciple, he was not afraid to change his
politics. He takes deep interest in
politics and is Jealous for the success
OF his party. Mr.. Smith has been
speaker of the lower house and is recog-
nized as one Of the ablest republicans in
Oregon.

There Was Not Money Enough,

Hood River, Or, Feb, 6, 1904 Ed
itOr Glacier: In regard to the East Side
grade improvements, the committee
conferred with Commissioner Hibbard
and it was decided that the widening
of the grade was necessary before the
gravel could be put on. SO far as the
work has progressed, can not see that
anything has been done wrong or that
any of the money has been misappro-
priated. The road bed had to be wild
ened before anything further could be
done. If we had completed half a
mile instead of trying to make mile
of road, the work would have been
more satisfactory. All that is wrong
with the work is that the money did
not go far enough. VIM. KENNEDY.
