Upton Sinclair Upon Fasting

Those who are opposed to fasting
claim that it takes away your
strength, and therefore it takes away
your ability to resist disease; it even
eXhausts the system So that it lays
you open to the attacks of new dis
eases. Now this is very plausible
argument; it is the chief difficulty
which the advocate of fasting has to
meet. | am not sure that l can give
the reasons for my belief. can
only state that the facts have con-
WINGED me that just exactly the OPP
posite is the truth with fasting. No
matter how weak you get, you do
NOT get new diseases. No matter
how weak you get, the hold of the
olT diseases upon you is weakened.
The explanation of it | believe to be
that the original cause of all disease
is the clogging of the system with
food poisons. When you fast you
give rest to the organs of assim-
ilation, which you have been over
working and abusing. A very large
proportion of the energy of the body
goes into the digestion and assimila-
ton of food, and this energy is now
saved for the combating of disease.
You have reserve of food material
in the form of fat and muscle, which
the body can use when it has once
learned to turn to this internal larder.
Apparently it cannot get at the mater
ial with sufficient rapidity to give you
strength to do continuous hard labor;
for instance, l would not want to
climb mountain when | was fasting;
but it gives you plenty of strength
for the ordinary processes of life.

ELOPEAlENT THROUGH
ABERDEEN

The elopement we mentioned last
week from Miner via Aberdeen was
only partly correct, the couple having
come from Oakley instead of Miner.
They were overtaken by the girls
father on the old desert road leading
TO the Big Butte, and were taken
back to Cassia county.
The girls name was Moreland, the
daughter of c. p. Moreland of Cas-
STA county, and the man who had
been in these parts only month or
80, gave the name of Daniels at some
places and Miller as others. He was
IN Pocatello about the first of April
and hired rig of L. S. Holley to
drive about town, and left town, sell
ing the horse or horses and leaving
the harness and buggy at Aberdeen,
where it was recovered last week. He
went to Oakley and met Miss More

wife at hotels where they stopped
and although they had time and OPP

BARLEY GROWERS PRIZE
CONTEST
81 800 Cup offered for Best Exhibit
of Barley at New York
Land Show

New York.-The great national
land show, which is to be held in
Madison Square Garden, New York
city, next November, will be the Nee
ca for barley growers of America.
Hundreds of them are already taking
keen interest in the contest for the
best field of barley raised during
1911. A handsome silver cup valued
at $500 has been offered for the
best bushel of barley exhibited al
the American Land and Irrigation
exposition by Colonel Gustave Pabst
of Milwaukee. Colonel Pabst also
has made an offer to purchase the
entire crop of barley from which
the winning sample is taken.
The terms for governing the
awarding of the barley prize cup have
not been definitely settled. Prominent
growers and agricultural experts are
now discussing the basis of award.
1t is understood, however, that the
award will be made under the fol-
lowing general rules-first, productiv"
ity: second, breed type; third, chemi-
cal or food value; fourth, general
appearance.
This first great land show to be
held in the metropolis Of America
is unique. Never had land eXposi-
ton been planned on such big csale.
Never have so many intelligent and
influential men pledged to support
Ia back to the land" movement.
Never in the history of American
agriculture has such a collection of
handsome and costly prizes been Of
fered for products of the soil. Thous-
and dollar prize cups are offered for
the best exhibits of corn, wheat, oats,
sugar beets, potatoes, cotton and
hops. A thousand dollar gold purse
is also offered for the best wheat,
and $500 in gold is offered for the
best apples.
For full information regarding the
terms of the contest for the barley
cup write the American Land and
Irrigation exposition, 149 Broadway,
New York city.

FROM THE ELECTRIC FIRE

Down in Central America, where il
is very damp during the rainy season
1t is customary to keep electric lights
burning inside pianos to prevent the
wires from rusting.
A microphone, which magnifies
sound, is now being successfully used
to locat underground springs and
streams. When the instrument is ap.
piled to the ground the operator can
hear the rumbling of underground
streams and water currents where
such exist.
Siam has only one city lighted
by electricity.
There are nearly $500 miles OF
electric wire in the Singer building
in New York City.
Cleveland, Ohio, is to have an
electric subway.
Electricity is being taught in Chi
cago grammar schools.
A railway tunnel is being built
under the Seine at Paris for the use
of electric cars.
Electricity has superseded all gas
lamps in lighting the streets of Mon
treal.
Eight miles of ornamental street
lighting are now in service in the
main streets at Minneapolis.
Dallas, Texas, is to have white
Way" just as soon as a new system
of ornamental street lighting can be
installed.
The electrical exports for Octorber
were greater than for September of
this year and greater than for Octo-
Der, 1909.
There are over $500 luminous arc
lamps in use along the streets OF st.
Louis.

POPULATION OF SOME IDAHO
TOWNS

Another announcement from the
census bureau shows the population
of some of the towns of Idaho as
given below. Blackfoot is given
1902, and census enumerator Edward
Bentley says this is 500 less than he
turned in.
The school census shows 1907, the
number who voted in the city election
was 1853, and these two items should
show about half the population. The
number on the school census multip-
lied by three or three and half is
generally considered a conservative
measure of population.
The 18th census gives the popula-
ton of Idaho towns as published on
page 3, second column.

GOT WHAT WAS COMING TO HIM
(Goodwin's Weekly


1t seems that the man Williams or
Stanley or whatever might be his
name, who was to found a great
model socialistic republic In Lower
California, was cut short in his ex-
pectations. He recruited his band OF
patriots; he fitted them out with
care; If there was anything on any
of the ranches in his path that his
command wanted that he did not
steal, 1t was because it escaped his
notice; when all was ready he at
tackled large body of Mexican veter-
ans on the theory probably that they
would not fight, but a few rounds
from machine guns and a few vol
legs from magazine rifles changed his
calculations. Most Of his thieves were
killed and when he decided that the
enemy was working over Industrial
Workers hours, and struck" out for
safer quarters, a shell followed him
and exploded in the little bunch of
fugitives of which he was one, and a
fragment of the shell struck him in
the only really vital place in his sys-
TENN the jaw-and finally did him
up. 1t is impossible for us to feel the
grief over the event which it seems
we ought He went to war with a
country with which our country is
at peace; he stole his outfit, and his
high purpose, while shouting for in
dustrial freedom was with stolen ma
terial to steal section of country
upon which he might in future live
without industry, and live as he had
SO long lived, on the labor of others.
And somehow We cannot be sorry for
the outcome.

University Man Here

The purpose of the University Of
Idaho In sending Prof Soulen to
Blackfoot and other south Idaho high
schools is not so much inspection al
co-operation. High schools and uni
versity are linked together for tho
purpose of giving to Idaho the highest
type of school service. Schools of an
grades must stay in close touch with
the people. Theirs is not the function
of educating the select few, but Of
bringing the advantage of education
to the masses. If there is waste In
our educational system, and no
doubt there is, it is the purpose Of
this cooperative movement to reduce
1t to minimum. am glad to notice
that Supt. Vincent and his high
school faculty are in sympathy wifi
this democratic principle.
The growth of the Blackfoot high
school has been remarkable-overI
100 per cent. in two years. BY the
employment of more college bred in-
|structors, by increasing the numberl
of new teachers in the high school
and by sane balancing of the So
called vocational and cultural sub
jects in the curriculum, Supt. VincentI
is rapidly developing a strong school
one of which Blackfoot may well
feel proud. Not only here but at the

Hints to Beauty Seekers

Viewed solely as a health-buildins
measure, water bathing has wonder
full restorative powers. The skin il
plentifully supplied with nerves and
blood vessels remember, the skin
is an organ itself, and not merely q
protective covering for the tissues and
organs under it), and the bath is
thus of great value in stimulating
the nervous system and accelerating
the circulation of the blood. Water
treatment in its thousand forms
(many, highly elaborated systems) is
depended upon in many great institu-
tons in Europe exclusively in the
treatment of certain diseases. The
bath, in fact, is like splendid sys-
tenn of exercise. 1t accelerates the
circulation, the respiration and the
elimination of wastes from the body.
1t inyigorates the skin, and for this
very reason the entire body. Have
you not often noticed after bath
how clear your skin. how bright your
eyes, how refreshed your brain were;
how much more energetic you felt:
The bath is really celebrating. 1t
is natural stimulant and tonic.
Two other of Natures wonderful
cleansers and tonics might be men,
and sun. Air is THE
important thing. No one factor
causes more disease and ill-health
than the lack Of pure air. Pure air
overcomes multitude of hygienic
in other respects. Coun-
Try people do not live more hygienic-
