APPETITE OUR BEST GUIDE.
It Will Not Lead Us Astray In the
Matter Of Overeating.

1t Will Not Lead Us Astray In the
Matter Of overeating.
It is the systematic practice of civil
lized people to thwart pervert. defy
and then abuse their appetites
lamentable consequences. Let me
briefly describe what this admirable
guide of ours will do for us If it be
given a chance.
The appetite Of the properly brought
up child is simply invaluable. A child
needs great deal of sugar, and if it's
appetite for this substance be regard
ed as reasonable and not a symptom
Of original sin the child will take Just
so much sugar as it needs. neither
more nor less, and will not gorge itself
with sweets when it gets chance
l am not talking at random. for
observe daily in a small child of my
own, and it is the experience of all
parents endowed with sufficient sense.
The food which the child dislikes, such
as fat, is the food which the child's
stomach has the most difficulty in di-
gesting.
In adult life. If the appetite be not
cheated by the cook, it is our constant
mentor and guide and friend When
we are taking much exercise it is
abundant When we take little exer-
else it diminishes. as it should
AS old age comes on much less food
is required and appetite corresponding
" diminishes. In short, at every pc
riod Of life and in all circumstances a
properly respected appetite will guide
us in the fashion for which appetite
was designed.
But we are much too clever to be run
by our instincts, are we not? We de-
prive the child of the sugar which it
Graves and then find it little nui-
sance and pig because 1t makes itself
Ill with sweets 1t is we who should
be scolded and should squirm.
When our own appetites fail we new
err dream of asking ourselves whether
this is morbid failure due to illness
or is normal diminution telling us
that we do not need food at present
or that we are not In fit state at
the moment to digest II.
When warm weather comes most Of
us use every device of cookery in or
der to produce an artificial appetite.
which we will then satisfy There
after we will complain of the heat But
since we have just piled unnecessary
fuel on the furnace. can we wonder
that we find hot weather oppressive?
Then, as the years go on and we OBJ
tain more leisure and free cash, per-
haps we are liable to devote ourselves
more and more to the pleasures of the
table. seeking ever new devices to pro-
mote that hunger which is the best
sauce-the sauce which all other sauces
are designed to produce All doctors
know the results
If we turn to the lower animals and
| observe how wisely and well their M
vitiated appetites guide them we begin
to see the point of the saying that zig
norance is bliss."-C. W. Saleeby. NJ

IDENTITY OF SKULL
MAY BE ESTABLISHED
Sheriff Gets . Letter OF Inquiry
From Man at Bell
fountain.

Sheriff Russell received letter
Wednesday morning from a man re-
siding at Bellfountsin. Ore., by the
name of W. Il. Stanturf. enquiring
about the human skull recently found
near Selma Stanturf had seen a
published account of the find aud
wrote the sheriff for further particu-
lars.
Mr.. Stanturf states that bis brother
disappeared IA years ago last January.
He says that the skeleton of his
brothers. body was found all except
the skull. the lower jaw being with
the rest OF the skeleton.
This letter strongly indicates that
this skull belonged to the body of
Stanturf's brother for the reason that
the hat found had bullet hole through
the crown, and the letter also says
that the person had long. dark red
hair. The hair found with this skull
closely answers this description. The
letter has been answered and It is ex.
pected within few days Information
may be received which will definitely
disclose the identity of the man whose
skull was found near Selma.

Salmon Again Scarce

Ten days of salmon fishing in the
Columbia River show the salmon sup
ply still on the wane. This is the sea
son OF the finest salmon of the river
the best in the world. Soon these fish
will be an extinct breed. They are
the fish that made the Columbia River
famous. The few remaining speci-
mems should be protected with closed
season. The open season should he
put off from April 10 to MAY 15.
After that there should be the closed
Sunday and rigid regulation OF all
kinds Of gesr-gillnets, traps. seines
and wheels.

WILL MANUFACTURE
FRUIT EVAP0RATORS
A. w. Coleman Inventor and

A. W. Coleman the inventor and
patentee OF the Perfection fruit and

tablisb,d d himself in Grants PAS, bav.

ing this drying apparatus which ap'

fruit raising. Mr.. Colemaus ma
chine seems to overcome the weak
points OF most other drying apparatus,
in that his is less expensive, is not
cumbersome, can be taken into the
house, and is simple Of operation.
The machine is made in sizes to
evspoiate from 10 bushels to 100
bushels per day and the prices range
from $3.50 TO 1926 per machine. sc-
cordlng 10 size. Mr.. Coleman says
that one of these machines will pay
for itself in 30 to 60 days in the
evaporation If yo0r second class
ruits. 1t will also evaporate squash
or sweet corn with equal facility.
In addition to its value for curing
fruits, vegetables, etc., it will be
found, during long damp or rainy
spells great convenience for dry lug
cloths-as it will thoroughly dry
towels, napkins, etc., IN from eight to
10 inmates, aud heavier materials in
proportionate time, while heating
the irons for ironing them at the same
time. 1t can be run in the open air
or in the house, as, If it is properly
connected with chimney, neither
heat nor the moisture from drying
fruits or clothes escape into the room.
A little second class fruit mixed in
with lot Of first.class fruit, gives
the commission men an excuse to rate
it all as second class, and they seldom
I fail to do it. If fruit growers would
always work up their second class
fruit at home by evporating it, and
also their first class fruit wheu the
price falls below fair profit, they, and
not tue dealers or middlemen would
be masters Of the situation, and as
evaported fruits have all of America
and eight foreign countries for mar
ket. and the grower can hold it till
he is ready to sell, there is no danger
of a glutted market for it, or price
so low that it will not pay fair profit
for time and labor Invested.
Mr.. Coleman is preparing to manu-
facture this evaporating machine ON
large scale, and the apparatus seems
to be so practical and SO superior to
other similar machines that the in
dustry shonid soon develop into a
permanent commercial institution for
Grants Pass and furnish employment
for qui'e q number of families.
