APPLE HEALTH QUAIL
ITIES LONG KNOWN

A A Sehenck, Of Omaha, Neb.. has
sent 10 the Glacier the following notes
on the health qualities OF the apple.
They might be called the new and the
old.
DR.. C. K. Searles in the Minnesota
Horticultural society:
"The apple is excellent brain food,
because it has more phospnoric acid in
easily digestibe shape than any other
vegetable known. 1t exeites the action
Of the liver promotes sound and heal
tby sleep, ard thoroughly disinfects
the mouth. The apple agglutinates
the surplus acids of the stomach. helps
the kidney secretions, and prevents
calculous growth. Ii obviates indlges-
ton and is one of the best preventa
tiyes OF diseases Of the throat. 1t is
the best antidote for craving of a per-
son addicted to alcohol or opium. The
hest thing one can do is TO eat apples
lust before retiring for the night. No
harm can come to even a delicate sys
TEN by eating ripe and juicy apples
Just before going to bed. -

NEW YEARS DAY
DOWN FRISCO WAY

The New Years Eve celebrations in
San Francisco have come 20 be known
the wor d over. Portland's celebra-
tions were in fair way to become
rivals, when the citizens OF the north.
ern metropolis decided that the too
great hilarity should be soft pedaltd.
Wine still flows freely in Portland on
New Years eve, but the bibulous
drink from the cheering bowls bl the
ocean down In San Francisco. The
poem below taken from the Christ
mas number OF the Stanford Univers-
ity Chaparral of several years ago
shows very humorously just how you
would feel down by the Golden Gate on
New Years morning:
Twas the night before New Years
And all through the house,
Not Ia creature was stirring, save pa
ezwith a souse.
Who stood on the door step and
elawed in the air,
In search of the key hole that used to
be there.
He found it; we heard him step thru
to the hall,
Fall into the parlor and snore, that
was all.
We smiled with indulgence and Sleep
ward would go,
But just for short fifteen minutes or
so;
For out on the lawn there grew such
a clatter
We sprang from our beds to see what
was the matter.
Twas only dear brother a-making
the noise,
Informing The neighbors, 'I'm one of
the boys.
We playfully poked him and bedward
we're gone,
A-leaving dear brother asleep on the
lawn.
In just few minutes, perhaps twen-
ty, I'd say,
We heaid heavy footsteps approaching
our way,
And grandfather, afer an informal
talk,
Hung his clothes on the gate post and
slept on the walk.
Then silence. As over the hill came
the sun
And our handsome star boarder armed
with a bun.
That was all, save at nine we arose
with grin,
Made the rounds of the boozes and
gathered them in.
Twas pa, as we carried him up thru
the hall,
Continued to mutter, "Hap' New Yer
to all.

HEAVY RAINFALL
DURING NOVEMBER

In his weather forecast Prof. w. l..
Powers, of the Oregon Agricultural
College designates the month of De-
cember. the rainiest month of the year,
as the "the best friend of the lighting
syndicates, and January, the codest
month, as "the great disciple of the
fuel trust. The normal rainfall in
December is 6. 92 inches and the mean
normal temperature for January is 80. 4
degrees.
During the past month there was a
total precipitation of 8.9 in, which
was 2.08 above normal, bringing the
excess rainfall for the autumn months
up to 2.7l in. The greatest amount
which fell in any one period of "a
hours was l.55 in. on Nov. IL. There
were Is rainy days, % cloudy, 4 partly
cloudy and clear.
The mean temperature for the month
was Asa, which was three degrees be-
low normal, while the mean maximum
was SO, and the mean minimum 38.
The rainiest day, Nov. l2, was also the
warmest, being 6l. By the 29th the
temperature dropped to %.

SAID
TO BE BENEFICIAL

When Hood River people begin to
grow their own gardens, raise chickens
and cows and make butter they will
become a healthy population if they
become addicted to the drinking of
buttermilk.
Buttermilk will prolong the human
life for many years. That assertion
has been proved by several of the
leading physicians of the world Pas
teur and Mitchnekoff of Paris, saws the
Courier of San Francisco.
In the blood are little cells known as
leucocytes. Those cells are the scaven-
gers of the body, and in their concave
surfaces are able to grasp a germ or d
foreign body and force its elimination
from the human system. The leuco-
cytes, hguratlvely speaking, are the
home defenders of the body.
Under the microscope the home de-
Tenders can be seen flowing along in
the blood stream. Suddenly they will
stop as though they sensed some near
danger. Changing their shape to that
of Y, they will penetrate the blood |
vessel wall and pick up a stray germ, |
probably a typhoid or one of the many |
other varieties.
When a person wounds the skin and
the blood runs, the home defenders
rush to the afflicted part and project
themselves into the surface of the
abrasion, preventing the entrance of
outside germ life. They give up their
lives to attain their object, and the
hard little ridges felt on both sides of
a slight wound are the leucocyte SO
tightly impacted that their lifeless
bodies help form scar tissue.
As years pass that commendahle ac-
tion of sacrificing themselves so the
human body may live ceases and the
little friends of the body once known
as home defenders turn into a lawless
element, ravaging the body they once
defended.
Metchnekotf and Pasteur found that
buttermilk contained an element which
prevented the leucocytes from ravag-
ing the body. Experiments proved
they would eat the butter milk in pref.
erence to the human tissues.

Milwaukee Trains Announced

On June |, according to announce
ments made by the officials of the Chi
eago, Milwaukee K st. Paul, trains of
that system will run into Portland over
the line of the O.-W r. & N.
1t is thought probable that the new
eastbound train will leave Portland be-
tween 8 and 10 o'clock in the morning
and leave Spokane on the westhounj
trip at about the same hour. Hood
River will then have two trains daily
for Spokane. The Canadian Pacific
Soo-Spokane train passing through here

NEW ORGANIZATION
TO BE PERMANENT

After an almost continuous session
of 20 hours the permanent ineorporst-
ing committee named by the apple
growers conference and given 80 days
TO report back to the various organiza-
tions as to its proposition, completed
its work Of preparing articles Of ineor-
poration and decided that the big cen
tral organization should be called The
North Pacific Fruit Distributors. with
its head office in Spokane, and con-
trolled by nine trustees representing
one each Of nine northwestern apple
districts. described in the articles OF
incorporaton. Permanent officers were
named and the third Monday In May
was fixed as the date of the first annual
meeting. ,
The articles Of incorporation will be
filed with the secretary Of state Tor
Washington Immediately and as soon
as incorporation is completed the aitl-
cles will be printed in pamphlet form
and distributed to every growers asso-
citation in Washington, Oregon, Mon
tana and Idaho. Ii will then be
optiona with the individual assoeia-
tions whether they ally themselves
with the central organization.
The association will be mutual cor
pcration, controlled by the nine trus-
tees. and incorporated under the laws
of Washington under the non proht |
making law. The home otiice VIII be !
in Spokane, at 907 Paulsen building.

HARTMAN SYSTEM
ADDS TO EQUIPMENT

Hood River people who happen to be
around the station now have noticed
the many new box, gondola and fiat
cars that are moving westward over
the 0.-W. X. & N. system. The Har-
riman lines have just added to their
equipment several thousand new cars
of the latest and best equipped de-
signs, They are also adding from time
to time to their rolling stock number
of new superheated engines of the lat
est types.
Work is now progressing in the local
freight yards, where new rails are be-
ing laid and new maeadam roads being
built. The O..W. r. q N. Co. is hav-
ing built several new 70-foot steel OBJ
seryation cars, and it is probable that
buffet observation cars will be placed
on the westbound passenger train that
runs from Pendleton to Portland, pass

this winter, together with l6 perfect
specimens of distinct varieties, all of
which were grown in the Yakima val
ley. The apples were recently on ex-
hibit in Portland by Sydney C.. Miller,
of North Yakima, Wash, who will

The first national wild bird reserYa-

Since that time 55 other reservations
have been created solely for the pro-

Florida to Alaska and over to the Ha-
