DURING PAST YEAR

Washington, Jan. 31.-Census Direc-
tor Durand has received from DR..
Cressy L. Wilbur, chief statistician for
vital statistics in the bureau of the
census, provisional statement of NOR
tally in the death registration area of
the United States for the year 1910. 1t
is estimated that the death rate is but
little greater than the phenomenally
low rate for 1909.
Comparison of the provisional death
rates per 1000 of population for 1910
with the death rate per 1000 of popu-
lation in 1909 for those states in which
about 80 per cent of the deaths for
1910 have already been returned, is as
follows:
California, 1876 in 1910, and 1874 in
1909; Connecticut, 1876 in 1910, and $50
in 1909; Indiana, 1874 in 1910, and 1873
in 1909; Maine, 1877 in 1910. and 1876 in
1909; Massachusetts, 100 in 1910, and

Unsallant, but Effective.

In a breach of promise case, the
barrister who held the brief for In
jured beauty, arranged that his fair
client should be SO placed that her
charms should be well under the OBJ
servation Of the jury. He began .
most pathetic appeal by directing
their attention to her beauty, and call
ing for justice upon the head Of him
who could wound the heart and betray
the confidence Of one 80 fair. conclud-
ing with a peroration Of such pathos
as to melt the court to tears. The
counsel for the defendant then rose,
and after paying the lady the compli-
ment OF admitting that It was Inn
possible not to assent to the encom-
iums lavished upon her face. he add
ed that nevertheless he felt bound to
ask the jury not to forget that she
wore a wooden leg. Then he sat
down. The important fact, Of which
the fair plaintiffs counsel was UNI
aware, was presently established: and
the jury, feeling rather sheepish at
their tears, assessed damages 1T the
smallest amount.

cHARrINo FOOD VALUES,

The department OF agriculture,
which has been experimenting to de-
termine the nutritive value of the
food on the American breakfast, din
ner and supper table, has issued a
series Of charts which show the re-
suits Of its Investigations.
Scientifically. food is that which.
taken into the body, builds tissue or
yields energy. Every constituent of
food has it's purpose. One part re-
pairs the tissues. another forms the
bones and another assists in diges-
ton. The value of any food article.
therefore, is measured by its perform
ance Of these functions. The nutrients
In food are protein, fats, carbohy-
drates and mineral matter or ash.
From these the several parts OF the
human machine take what they re-
quire for upkeep and fuel energy and
the waste Is eliminated.
Scientific feeding of cattle and hogs
Is nothing new. The secret OF it was
discovered early, because 1t was found
there was money in 1t. The scientific
feeding Of human beings has not
made the same progress because the
stake was only human life, which has
been cheap In all ages Of the world.
II. ]. Waters, president Of the Kan
sas state agricultural college, dis
turbed many people when he said that
too much attention was being paid 70

year 1910. had previously tried It for
4 single day. and for week. and for
month. and I found 1t good thing.
Originally would say to myself
when ] started out In the morning:
NOW, Darius, my son. rem smber. this
day you are not to permit yourself to
bother over anything. You must be on
your guard. on the alert. You know
by long experience that bothersome
things spring up most Unexpectedly
out Of the slightest circumstances, and
the most trivial thing may develop in
q minute into a temper trier. Be on
your guard and don't lose your temper
and don't let anything worry you; keep
cheerful
Il found this daily contract with my.
self good thing; many a time by
fortunate remembrance of the fact
that l was under this obligation to
myself was enabled to avoid worry.
to preserve my equanimity ard mental
comfort, and then l made with myself
such contracts covering weekly peri.
DDS, and then extended these periods
to cover month at time, and did
so well on these longer contracts that
late In 1909 l made up my mind that
might just as well as not go the
whole figure, and then did seriously
bind myself in contract duly recorded
in my mind not to permit myself to
bother over anything whatever during
the year 1910
And have lived ur to the contract!
Well, no; wouldn't say that. More
than once have been surprised out OF
my calm and have boiled over, and
more than once l have found myself
worrying. but have found myself Inn
proving all the time.

or we go backward, and have found
that by the exercise Of my power OF
self-control gain more. On more than
one occasion in this present year
have lost it, but l don't lie down on
that account; just get fresh grip on
myself, and find get 1t more and
more quickly and hold it more and
more firmly.
I'm this present year Of 1911 I have
been two or three months at time
without blowing up and without worry

edge Of their bodily structure and how

else taught them. The loss OF human
life. efficiency and happiness through
The ignorant eating of food and al
legged food has never been computed.
But the increasing cost Of living has
now brought the question OF proper
food to a basis where the American
people are beginning to consider 1t.
Where hygiene failed to make its call
heard, bacon at 35 cents q pound Is
attracting attention to the need Of
cheaper and better fuel for the human
body.
When the American consumer Is
educated to the point where he will
inquire of the butcher how many
calories Of energy pork is running
now, instead OF asking how much it
is a pound, the era Of scientific feed
ing will have come. and the bugaboo
of high prices may no longer have
terror for the man who must eat.
The department of agriculture ex-
perts have fixed the dietary standard
for man of full vigor and engaged In
moderate muscular work at 5000
calories. That represents the energy
he should derive from his daily bread
-ninety-f1ve grams OF protein. Be
sides this amount of protein he re-
quires certain amount Of mineral
matter, four to six grams of sodium,
twice as much chlorin and q small
amount of iron
The protein is in the white of eggs
the curd of milk. lean meat and the
gluten OF wheat This. with the fats
of meat, butter, olive oil and the oils
of corn and wheat, serves az fuel fol-
the body and yields energy In the
form of heat and muscular power
The mineral matter goes to form
bone
Taking meats first, there will be
found in lamb chops 176 per cent. Of
protein, which is fair yield, although
more than half this chop will be wa
ter. That, however, is true of most
meats. OF fat the chop has 1873 pei
cent. and of mineral matter but pei
cent. It's fuel value Is 1,540 Galleries
pound Two pounds of lamb chops
therefore, would yield nearly the
amount Of energy prescribed for {
days use, but no one cares to cal
two pounds of lamb chops every day
and there are plenty Of other food ar
ticles to supply a variety. DRIED
beef. although 1t contains fewer Gallo
ries to the pound than any mea
shown on the chart, owing to it's small
percentage of fat, contains a greatel
amount of protein thany any-20 pc
cent The percentage of mineral wa
ter also is larger than any of thu
five-9.1 per cent. Dried beef, there
fore, Is good tissue and bone build
er, but does not supply much heat O
muscular power.

MRS. M'KAY DRAGGED FOR; CON.
SIDERABLE DIsTANCE--AC-
CIDENT LAST NIGHT.

Mrs. M. A. Degnan, and daughter
Catheryn. an !! Mrs. A. Mckay figured
in runaway accident near Freshwater
about $3.50 O'Clock last evening, in
which Mrs. Degnan had her arm broken.
Miss Catheryn was bruised as result
of the buggy running over her, while
Mrs. Mckay was badly bruised, being
dragged for considerable distance.
Mrs. Degnan, who was riding in
front with her daughter, was thrown
from the buggy, while Mrs. Mckay
could not jump and was dragged for a
considerable distance, being pinned
down by the overturned vehicle. When
Mrs. Degnan was thrown she landed on
her right arm, which was broken. No
other bones were broken, bu: it IS fear
ed that Mrs. Mckay may have suffered
internal injuries.
Luckily Colonel Joseph NJ. Kelly
happened along with his automobile
shortly after the accident and took the
injured people to their homes in this
city. The buggy and horses were SUP
piled by livery, the buggy being
broken to pieces. The horses were not
injured and were stopped before they

WOUND BENEFIT BY PASS
AGE OF Law.
FINAL PROOFS PROTESTED AND
NO ONE KNOWS THE
GROUNDS.

A Bill has been introduced by Sena.
tor McCumber, which if enacted into
law, will greatly relieve the settlers
on public lands in North Dakota, as
we'll as other states. At the present
time, final proofs are protested and no
one knows on what grounds. Hearing
is set and the homesteader appears
without any knowledge of the protest
and is not prepared to refute the
charges. This bill, if enacted into law,
will be great boon to these settlers.
The bill follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States Of America in Congress assem-
bled, That whenever any protest or OBJ
lection shall be filed against the final
proof Of any entryman upon public
lands, it shall be the duty of the Com,
missioner of the General Land Office
to cause to be delivered to the entry.
man a statement setting out in detail
such protest or objection, and which
statement shall also fix a time, not
more than sixty days after service
thereof, within which such entryman
may appear before the local land office
in person or by attorney and present
such evidence as may have to refute
such protest or objection. Upon the
completion of such evidence the offic.
ers Of the local land office shall forth
with render their decision thereon and
mail copy thereof to such entryman;
and such entryman shall have all the
rights of appeal from the decision OF
the officers of said land Office as is now
provided for in case Of contests.
