Too Much Canned
Food, Says Condra

We have sung long enough the praises
OF the old, oaken bucket, the moscow
cred bucket; we should begin to learn
the dangers OF the old oaken bucket. the
slobber-covere6 bucket" declared Dr.
George Il. Condra, of the University OF
Nebraska, in a talk on Rural Environ
ment in Nebraska" at the science section
OF the Teachers Association convention
at the Young Mems Christian association
Thursday, in which he graphically de-
picted menace to health in the country.
DR.. Condra, as member of the Rural
Life commission, has secured Nebraska
from end to end ferreting out the causes
Of disease. Only last week he trampee
100 miles through the state on a tour OF
investigation.
The lack of pure water, clean milk
wholesome food and also too little NAV
and rest in proportion to work. he named
as the chief sources Of unheaIth I'm tbo

DR.. Condra emphasized the danger in
drinking after a diseased person in
drinking from wells which are located
go low as to get seepage from chicken
yards and other foul environment, the
necessity of keeping windows open in
sleeping rooms and the need of whole
some food.
TOO much canned food is being con-
sumed in the country" said DR.. Condra.
He also said that farmers wives need
to learn that they cannot raise strong
sons and daughters on spices and vinegar.

die from preventable disease when they
are needed for the worlds service"

song from Carmen, accompanied by Miss
Pearl A. Mlnick
Nationally our music has been. said
MISS Clark until very recently a Joke
Cultured Europe has said that we have
no Ideals, no native musics, only bor-
rowed productions and producers
This was once true. but It is true no
longer. The making and enjoying of rag
time, minstrels and vaudeville music has
brought us low; tastes have been per-
verted, standards have been lowered our
pianos haye been Uttered by deluge of
trashy socalled popular music of the
light opera and musical plays"
While deploring the harm the trashy
music has done Miss Clark approved the
work ragtime has accomplished in fore
ing composers to realize that we have a
way of our own, speech OF our own and
a music peculiar to ourselves. She con-
cluded:
our music must be made more demo-
cratic; our plans must be changed to
conform TO the new ideas. The music
must be for all, every single boy and
girl, not in the sense Of making artists
or performers or singers, but just a great
nation of Intelligent listeners to music
the whole people cultured in the love of
good music, the whole country appre-
ciating and supporting our own singers,
players and composers"

RIVER BOTTOM DRAINS.
Dean Raymond Shows That Tiles Must
Be Used to Obtain Results.

The river bottoms of Iowa are usual
~ broad. with little slope toward the
river and almost universally with
banks slightly higher than the land
farther back. these banks forming nat
ural levees to keep the river off the
bottom lands except at very high wa
ter. but also serving to hold water
on the bottom lands for long periods
in the spring and after food stages Of
the river. AS a result of this fOrma-
ton many thousands Of acres Of the
richest. most valuable land are wholly
unproductive. says Dean William G..
Raymond of the Engineering State
university of Iowa city. They are COW
cred by shallow ponds that dry out
only late in the season or serve only
for wild hay or inferior pastures.
Attempts to drain these lands by
open bitches have sometimes been sue
cessful. but often have not owing to
the very slight fall that can be had.
the rapid choking Of bitches by vege-
tation and the blocking of the mouth
by river silt and sand. Moreover. this
method wastes considerable quantities
of this same most valuable land that
1t Is sought to reclaim. An open ditch
must have easy side slopes to prevent
caving in Of the sides. and the dirt
taken from the ditch is deposited
alongside. so that properly construct
ed ditch only one foot wide on the bot
tom and four feet deep Is likely to
waste a strip Of land twenty-five to
thirty feet wide for Its entire length.
A mile Of such ditch would consume
over three acres Of tillable ground. II
