Fried foods are harder to digest than
foods cooked in other ways. The reason
for this is plain. The digestive fluid of
the stomach (the gastric juice) has no
power to digest fats. All fats are digest
ed in the intestines. When foods are
fried the grease surrounds the particles
and prevents the action of the gastric
juice. The food lies in the stomach and
often fermentation takes place. The
continued use of fried foods will ruin
the health.
Dried peas, beans and lentils require
prolonged cooking to render them palat-
able and digestible. 1t is best to soak
them over night and in the morning to
put them on to cook in fresh, cold water.
They will not soften if put into boiling
water. Cook very slowly with little or
no grease. Add salt when nearly done.
1t is we'll to put beans through collan-
der to remove the skins. This makes
them much easier to be dgested.
In cooking dried fruits the object is to
restore them, as near as possible to the
original state. To do this prepare in
the following manner: Look over care
fully, wash quickly in a quantity of cold
water. Soak from IL to "a hours. This
is to restore the plumpness and moisture.
Then put the fruit on to cook in the
water in which it has been soaked. Cook
gently for about an hour. Add sugar
very sparingly, as most fruit prepared in
this way is sweet enough.
Oatmeal and various mushes, usually
eaten as breakfast foods, are rarely
cooked enough to render them digesti
Bile. All these grains, as wheat, oatmeal
grits and graham contain large per cent
of starch. Raw starch cannot be acted
upon until it reaches the smaller intes
tines. Slightly cooked starch is mo-
more easily digested than raw starch
Nutritive value and digestibility oI
grains depend largely upon proper cook
ing. These grains are best cooked in g
double-boiler. If they are wanted fol
breakfast, cook the day before and re
heat in the morning. Oatmeal should
be cooked about four hours. When ont
gets in the habit of preparing breakfas
foods in this way it is no harder than II
cook it l5 minutes. And the food i
delicious.

"SKuNKEnn

A couple of our Forest Service officers
were out hunting the forepart of the
week. As a solace for their disappoint-
ment, we publish the following poem" 4:
Ven'son? Well, I reckon not
Though we've hunted high and low
Not single buck we got;
All We see is one old doe.
Now, we come a-skulkin' back,
Not horn nor hide to show,
Grouchy and all out o'whack-
Pretty tough, let you know!
Worst of all to have the folks,
All the boys that seen us go,
Joshin' us and crackin' jokes,
Yellin' "Yah! told you sop

MAKING OF CITIZENS.
The Method Followed by Courts in
Naturalization Of People From
Other Lands.

The regular November term of the
circuit court was called at 10 o'clock a.
m. today Nov. 2O), Judge Jones on the
bench.
The day was given up to naturalization
of would-be citizens, and arraignment
of criminals whose cases were on the
calendar.
The process of naturalization is one OF
interest to those who have never wit
messed it. The candidate for advance
ment to the proud position Of an Amer
lean citizen, secures two witnesses to
substantiate his claim to the right of Cit
izenship and appears before the judge of
the court. He and his witnesses are
sworn and number of questions more
or less complicated are asked of the ap-
plicant as to when and where he was
born; how long he has been in this
country and so on. These questions are
easy. Then come the hurdles, over
which surprising number go down.
They are questions intended to show
the acquaintance of the applicant with
the system of government in the United
States. One man this afternoon, who
swore that he had lived in this country
for IS years, could not tell who made
the laws of the State or of the country.
If the applicant cannot answer these
simple questions he is told to "call again
at the next term of court"
Under the new law, there is a repre-
sentative of the United States Govern
ment present, who also participates in
the questioning. This afternoon he
objected to naturalization of a Syrian
whose family had not been brought to
this country. He said the Government
has had great deal oftrouble because of
complications with foreign Governments
arising from this condition of affairs.
This case was continued for six months in
order to give the applicant time to bring
his wife and child to Sioux Falls.
When the answers of the applicant
and his witnesses have been satisfactory
the oath of allegiance to the United
States is administered and subscribed
and a new citizen has been added to
the immense crowd of those who are
willing to die for "Oid Glory."-Argus-
Leader.

The grain movement in October was
double that of September, being 81 ,lS9,'
594 bushels, including -four reduced to
bushels of grain. September's grain
shipments amounted to l5,4l9,S BUSH
els. Nearly 2O,0OOOO0 bushels of wheat
were sent down from the lakes during the
past month. Eastbound traffic amounted
to 5,600,5l2 tons of which 1887, ,749 tons
went by the Canadian and 1867, ,7S6 tons
through the United States canal. On
the westbound traffic of 1921 900 tons,
the order is reversed, with only 546,0Ss

The u. s. Government is making pro-
visions for those having postal deposits
to convert the deposits into govern ment
bonds, if they wish. Under the postal
savings law, $500 is the limit of any one
individual deposit. If deposits are con-
verted into bonds the limit in amount is
taken off. The bonds are little more
profitable than the savings, paying 21a
per cent interest. They are non-tax'
able, the same as any government bonds,
and are negotiable, while saving depos'
its are not. This may stimulate govern
ment deposits little, but it is doubtful
for securities that are absolutely gilt edge
pay from s to- 6 per cent, while all the
government bonds would pay would bt
219 per cent.

In the progress of individual develop
ment when does one become a manP Is
it with the widening consciousness of
adolescence as the rites and ceremonies
of primitive and ancient peoples, and
of some modern religious communities
seem to imply? Or is it at the age of
81 when the right to vote is acquired ?
Or is it when professional training is
acquired and the man of 25 hangs out
his "shingle." Some youths seem to
believe that the growth of a beard, or a
moustache, marks the transition. Other
boys count upon the ability to chew to-
bacco or to smoke cigarettes as the first
clear mark of manhood. Truly we are
fearfully and wonderfully made.-S.
Weir, in Argus-Leader.

Brookings Register.-A recent case in
this city has brought to the Register the
new state law governing juvenile GRIM
inal cases. Under the new code the
county court is made the juvenile court
and all actions against minors must be
brought there. The new law also for
bids newspapers from publishing the
names of youthful offenders, and this is
not bad provision. Many boy, after
the first indiscretion, reforms and be
comes good citizen, but if the eulprit is
publicly branded as a criminal, his way
is hard one and the chances are great
ly against his walking in the straight and
narrow way.

FARM PRODUCTS.
Higher Prices Prevail than a Year
Ago, According to Figures
Given Out.

The decreased production in crops this
year as compared with last year is being
compensated to the farmers of the coun-
try by the larger prices they are receiv-
ing, as shown by figures given out by
the Department of Agriculture. The
aggregate production of crops in 1911, it
is estimated, is approximately 10 per
cent less than the crops of 1910, and
about four-tenths of per cent less than
the average production for the preced-
ing FIVE years.
Corn was worth 12.l cents more per
bushel on November than on the same
date last year; wheat, cent; oats, SO
cents; barley, 29.6 cents; rye, lis cents
buck wheat, IL cents, and potatoes, 2.08
cents; while the value of hay was $2.66
a ton greater. Flaxseed, the only grain
in which decrease was reported this
year, is 10 cents cheaper this year than
last.
The production of other crops in 1911
according to the report, expressed in
percentage of the average production in
recent years mot compared with full
crop is estimated as follows:
Apples, 1868; pears, 1l08; watermel-
ons, 1851; grapes, 1921; cantaloupes,
10l.S; peanuts, 1913; asparagus. 97.7;
alfalfa, 96.l; beans, 95.l; kafir corn, 95 ;

let, s9.2; strawberries, S35; blackber-
ries, S35; clover seed, S26; millet seed,
s2.l; peaches, SO.S; hemp, s9.2; clover
hay, 6S.

South Dakota is Twenty-Five ears Old.

South Dakota Is Twenty-Five Years Old.
South Dakota was twenty-five years
old November End. 1t was officially de-
clared state on November End, 1889,
by Benjamin Harrison, then President
of the United States. The state was
therefore twenty-five years old on that
date.
The years have been we'll employed
and with such prosperous results as to
inspire confidence in the future efforts
to increase our population and exploit
our resources for the sure reward which
their development will bring.
Our soil and mines are capable ol
maintaining prosperous and contented
population Of many millions and these
will come in larger proportion in future
years, as a result of the prosperity of the
present, and the confidence felt here in
our own country and abroad, in the
great value and inexhaustable character
of our sterling resources. Contempora.
neous with South Dakota's introduction
as state came North Dakota, Montana
and Wyoming. All have justified the
promise of earlier years, but none have
surpassed and possibly not equalled the
progress made by South Dakota.-Stur'
gis Record.

According to Bradstreet's the canning
and preserving industry showed fair
growth during the last five years of the
decade ending with 1909, as shown by
the fact that the number of establish
ments increased 10 per cent, the capital
invested increased 80 per cent, salaries
and wages paid increased 25 per cent,
and the value of the products increased
20 per cent, as compared with 1904.

The cold wave in the Northwest, fol-
lowed by snow, caught some spring
wheat and fax, perhaps fifth of the
crop, in the field unthreshed. This has
been stacked up, and the threshing out
fits have gone into winter quarters. Es
Inmates of damage vary, but it is thought
that rains earlier in the season did more
damage than has the cold and snow,
though there will be some frozen wheat.

Cadmium is mineral very much re-
sembling zinc.
Copper was mined in New Jersey
nearly 200 years ago.
Monazite sands contain on an average
of about per cent of thoria.
Grab samples cannot be relied upon
to give fair average of a lot of ore.
Japanese mining law dates from the
code known as "Tsihorei," which was
issued in June, 7O1 A. d.
Charcoal Of good quality will soil the

The deepest workings on the Comstock
lode at Virginia City, Nevada, are in the
Mexican mine, where depth of 1896
feet has been attained.
The unit used in quoting prices of
ores, is one per cent of whatever ton is
used. In the case of the short ton its
value is 20 pounds, and in the case of the
long ton, 224 pounds.
Iodine is produced in Japan from sea-
weeds. About $4,000 pounds are pre-
pared annually in three principal works.
In Michigan as we'll as in Europe, iodine
is prepared from the waste liquors of
salt works, and in Chile from nitrate
works.
Remarkable claims are made for the
toughness added to steel through the
use of small quantities of the metal
vanadium, according to a report of the
United States Geological Survey. 1t is
declared that after treatment with vana-
dunn steel has great resistance to the
strain, or as it is termed the fatigue,
caused by constant bending.

Riding a Colt.

If young colt is ridden or driven
several miles over cobblestones or even
over pike or gravel road he may be
stove up for life A colts legs and
feet are filed with soft and tender
bones, and his muscles and sinews are
easily stretched and torn. Bones are
not iron, and they easily crumble un-
der strain and pressure, and tendons
often pull loose from where they are
grown to young bones, and they can
not be grown back again. 1t takes a
colt of almost iron legs even at two
years old to carry the lightest boy and
run fast as far as mile. Few race
horses ever pull through training with
good sound legs and feet.-New York

The increasing business at the post
office indicates that Mineral Point is
steadily growing in a commercial way.
By order of the department every post
Office in the United States was required
to count the number Of pieces of mail

A Big Newspaper Enterprise.

The Milwaukee Journal, Wisconsin S
largest daily newspaper, on June 1st,
reduced it's subscription rate $500 per
year to readers, in advance. The Jour
nal believes that the price of print paper
must go lower and is taking a great
hazard in naming this reduced price for
the coming year.
The publishers state that, regardless
of consequences, they will stand by all
subscriptions taken at this rate, during
the life of the subscription. Further
more, that the paper will not be
allowed to go backward but to the
contrary will be improved from time to
time as occasion requires.
The Journal was the pioneer news
paper to give to readers direct low
subscription price.
