People can live in a temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating tho diet
The plan Is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use goodly allowance of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meager amount of butter, and one
cup OF wellmade Postum.
BY this selection Of food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot, car
bonaceous foods have been left out.
The result is very marked difference
In the temperature of the body, and
to this comfortable condition is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges-
tion. for the food being partially pre-
digested is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment in food,
and its application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
can be made use of and add materially
to the comfort OF the user.

cussions at Washington, together with
a general reopening of agitation
against the railroads. Out of the
struggle so suddenly precipitated
there should come some rational and
permanent solution of the railroad
problem; but unfortunately during
the interval period of more or less
unsettlement in values must be ex-
pected. The present status of the
railroads is unbearable, and some ju-
d,cial power is necessary to settle the
differences between them and the
people. Railroads are a natural mo-
nopoly, and rs such exercise arbitrary
powers which inevitably invite the
distruSt of shippers and should be re-
nted. Railroad managers are hu-
man, and, however broad-minded and
liberal they may be, are likely in the
matter of rates to put on all the traf-
fic will bear. Shippers desire stable
rates, good service and equality of
treatment. These advantages they
generally receive, yet find themselves
az the mercy of the railroads in the
question of rates. The freight rate
from the nature of the case is not a
subject OF bargaining-the usual
method of settling business transac-
tions-hence the alarm of shippers
az the recent movement of the roads
to advance rates. shippers believe
the advance to be unnecessary. and
express serious alarm at this exercise
o, arbitrary power free of restraint.
on the other hand the railroads find
themselves face TO face with the prob
lem of securing sufficient revenue to
meet the increased demands of labor
and rapidly growing expenses. There
seems to be but one true solution of
this antagonism in the relations be-
tween the railroads and the people,
that is the establishment of some
court or tribunal designed to arbi-
trate and settle all such differences.
II such court could be devised, Sc
curing fair treatment to the railroads
and just and reasonable rates to ship
pers. a long step would be taken in
removing one of the most acute sour
oes of financial and political disquiet' -
What is the matter with the Inter
state commerce commission? Was it
not created for the very purpose of
intervening in disputes between rail-
roads and their patrons? Why not
strengthen the hands of the commits
sion by forcing the railroads to first
submit proposed rate advances to the
commission Tor approval?

S1.53 FOR WHEAT.

Would eastern oregon farmers like
to obtain $1.53 for their wheat this
summer? Then feed it to hogs. 1t is
estimated by DR.. James Withycombe
that such course would bring farm
ers 1888 per bushel for wheat and
SIPS per bushel for barley.
Oregon is pre- -eminently hog
country" says DR.. Withyeombe in a
recent letter. NO section can excel
this state for quality or production
when properly finished on home
grown feed. Barley or wheat are the
ideal fattening feeds for hogs. At the
Oregon Experiment Station in feeding
experiments conducted for the past
ten years, the average amount of
wheat or barley required to produce
ore pound gain was four and one
half pounds. 1t was also ascertained
that it cost approximately from three
and one-half to four cents per pound
to grow a pig to fattening age. This
must be done, however, largely in the
open field on alfalfa, vetch, clover or
rape.
pigs grazed on clover during the
summer have given a return in growth
OF over $40 per acre and from alfalfa
even higher than this. Estimating
that it costs four cents per pound to
grow the hog and when ready to be
fattened he weighs $50 pounds,
makes a total cost of Sc. After con-
suming 450 pounds of wheat or bar
ley he should weight $50 pounds and
worth at seven cents per pound $3.50
o, giving a return for $50 pounds of
wheat or barley Of s11.5O. This gives
a gross return to the farmer for his
wheat of s1.53 per bushel, and for his
barley SIPS per bushel.
Dr. withycombe is also an advo-
cate Of raising field peas in eastern
Oregon. Field peas may be fed to
hogs without harvesting and will
bring good returns. From $40 TO $40
per acre may be made in this way
and at the same time the soil rested
quite as well as by profitless sum-
rnerfallowing.>
Umatilla county wheatgrowers un-
derstaHd wheatraising and are max
ing money now. Yet wise men are
always open for something better in
the way Of methods and are anxious
to further increase their profits.
Why not combine a little animal hus-
bandry along with wheat raising and
instead Of always selling wheat as a
raw product sell It as finished pro-
duct in the form Of hogs?

AN INDIAN CRADLE SONG.

Swing thee low in thy cradle soft.
Deep in the dusky wood.
Swing thee low and swing aloft--
Sleep as a papoose should,
For safe in your little birchen nest
Quit will come and peace and rest,
If the little papoose is good
The coyote howls on the prairie cold,
And the owlet boots in the tree,
And the big moon shines on the little
child
AS it slumbers peacefully.
So swing thee high in thy little nest
And swing thee low and take the rest
That the night wind brings to thee
Father lies on the fragrant ground.
Dreaming of hunt and fight,
And the pine leaves rustic with
mournful sound
All through the solemn night;
But the little papoose in his birchen
L. swinging low and takes his rest,
Till the sun brings tthe morning
light.
