VALUE OF VEGETABLES.

Experiments with vegetable foods
are limited to a narrow range. To the
mind of the average housewife vege-
tables mean potatoes, cabbage and
onions, and these alone will not sup
port life. They are practically waste
food; they do not contain nitrogen,
and the potato has but little starch in
proportion to its bulk. Nuts, the hard
fruits mixed with cereals, fruits. and
such easily digested food as rice,
give a sustaining power not attain
able by a meat diet. Take cabbage
for instance, one of the most delicate.
delightful and slightly vegetables when
properly cooked; it becomes indiges~
tible, coarse and unsightly when cook,
ed in the usual fashion.
Vegetables may be divided into four
classes: those containing nitrogen.
muscle and tissue-building foods: the
carbohydrates, starches and sugar;
foods producing heat, energy and fat;
the oleaginous foods; those contain
ing fat, as nuts and olives, heat and
energy producers; and succulent vege-
tabie largely water and holding in
solution physiological salts and acids.
To be quite perfect all vegetables
should be put on to cook in boiling
water. This does not mean water that
has been boiled and cooled but it must
be boiling rapidly when the vege-
tables are dropped in. Do not pour
boiling water over them, but put them
into boiling water. To green vege-
tables add salt in proportion of a
teaspoonful to each half gallon. Green
vegetables do not contain, from our
standpoint, true nourishment but they
are of equal value as waste and should
be taken at least once a day. vege-
tables not containing starch NAV be
eaten raw, but such roots as turnins
carrots and beets must be scraped or
grated. The dense fiber renders them
difficult of digestion.

La Redo. Texas, Nov. 10.-Four
Texas rangers, sent to Rio Grande
city to quiet turbulent political con-
ditions there and investigate the as
sassination of District Judge Welcn,
which occurred the night before cleo
ton, were ambushed by body Of
armed MeXicans between Fordyce and
Rio Grande city late Thursday night
The rangers were asleep in their
camp when they were awakened by a
vOlley of shots from the darkness. A
pitched battle ensued and four of the
attacking party were killed, one fat
ally wounded and two captured. The
rangers escaped unscathed.
Governor Lanham yesterday or
jered company of cavalry to Starr
county. and a special train took them
there.
The situation was brought about by
alleged election irregularities, due TO
political clubs supplying Mexican res
idents with poll receipts and insisting
that they be allowed to vote. Judge
WEIGH, who was assassinated Monday
night, had gone from his home in Cor.
pus Christi, to be present at Rio
Grande city on election day in an eff
fort to prevent disorders. He was as
sassinated while asleep at night.
1t is charged that armed represent
atiYes of political clubs controlling
the Mexican vote patrolled the voting
places election day and refused to al.
low the members of the opposing fac
ton to vote. There are reports of
continued voting at Rio Grande City,
the extent of which is not now known.

NO RELIGIOUS CRISIS.
Separation of Church and State to Be
Peacefully Accomplished.
To be continued.

Paris, Nov. 11.-Unless the vatican
authorities cause some radical chang
es in the situation fears of a religious
crisis resulting from the enforce
ment, December II, of the law pro
viding for the separation of church
and state, are regarded as dissipatei
in consequence of the middle course
steered by the Clemenceau cabinet
The extreme radicals, under Combes
and Polletan, who insisted that a pol
icy of spoilation and persecution be
inaugurated December II, have been
appeased by the announcement that
all church property not claimed by
the cultural associations on that dat =
will pass under the control of the
state for attributiOn to the communas
at the end of the ensuing year. On
the other hand the churches in the IN
term will remain at the disposition
of the clergy, and a road for retreat
is left open to the vatican by the adj
mission of the possibility that church
property can by state decree be
granted to associations formed befole
December II. 1907.

Hugh Dunn, aged thirty-iiye,
was found dead a short distance
from the railroad track about one
mile south Of Glover, at 8 o'clock
on the evening of December Sth.
Justice Rasche held an inquest the
following morning and the facts
developed as follows: Dunn had
Saturday evening boarded the
local at Arcadia to go to his home
at Glover. At the latter PLACE he
left the train and nothing more
was known of him until the body
was found. The supposition is
that No. A, which came along
shortly after Dunn left the local,
struck the unfortunate man and
knocked him from the track. The
face and head were badly bruised
and the arms broken. Dunn leaves
four children. He had lately been
employed in the saw mill at Ar
cadia. The deceased had a policy
for $1,000 in the local Camp of
Woodmen. Z
The cutting of timber on gov
eminent lands in a number of
southeast Missouri counties will
be investigated by the federal
grand jury now in session. This
part of the grand jury programme
for the week will probably be
reached to-day. A number of
subpoenas for witnesses have been
issued, and deputy. marshals have
been serving them for several days.
Large quantities of timber have
been cut from government land in
Madison, Ripley, Iron, Jefferson
and Dent counties, it is said, and
many persons re involved in the
illegal timber traffic. Some of
these are farmers and small tie
makers, but others are lumber con-
Germs of Importance. The purpose
of the grand jury is to sift the
matter and determine who is re-

were camped in the vicinity Of the
Sparkman settlement, south of this

about two weeks, and during that
time killed nineteen deer, four of
which, it is said, were does, the
slaughter of which the law pro-
hibits. The members of the party,
whose names are known, but are
withheld until they are arrested,
returned homo from the hunt only
a few days ago. Prosecuting At
torney Dawson was seen this after
noon regarding the case, and he
said he was not even aware that the
law had been violated. He said
the killing of deer under n year
of age was a violation of the State
game law, and is punishable by a
fine of from 'S25 to 500, but the
parties would have to be tried here
(if the does were killed in this
county, and that the information
would have to be made out by
him before the arrests can be
made.-Poplar Bluff Republican.
