Democracy's Opportunity.

The New Vegetable.

A news dispatch from Oregon reports
large crop of the new vegetable, the
and potato. This latest addition to h,l-
man foods is said to be very prolific and
of delicious flavor.
1t is not long since Burbank found a
way to make the cactus edible. The cac-
| tus is desert plant. 1t need not sur
prise us if in some such way man should
discover the kinds of food of which he
was deprived when Adam and Eve were
| expelled from the garden The record
is Gen. 1929 that if man could have
| had access to those foods he would have
been able to put forth his hand and
eat and live forever" In disfavor with
| God it has been a blessing that man
could not do this, for he was created
| to live in harmony with. his Creator
and could not be truly happy under any
| other conditions.
These wonderful food discoveries, to-
gether with modern Irrigation works, re-
| mind us of the prophesy of Joel 2:21, %,
Fear not, o land, be glad and rejoice,
for the Lord will do great things. Be
not afraid, We beasts Of the field, for the
pastures of the wilderness do spring. for
/
and the vine do yield their strength
| They also remind us of the great Mes
sianic prophesy Of Isa- 35, 1.-THE desert
shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.
The glory of (the forests of Lebanon
shall be given unto it, the excellency of
(the fruitful hillsides of) Carmel and
(of the vale of Sharon. Say to them
that are of fearful heart Chose losing
faith in God and thus losing all hope in
life) be strong, fear not. Behold your
God will come and save you (out of
your troubles, even including poverty
and death). Then the eyes Of the blind
shall be opened and the ears of the deaf
shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame

quently paid. Whether we want to or
not, we gamble our highest stake on our
water supply.
Many people throughout the farming
districts are having wells and cisterns
dug or we'll drilled with view Of
having it where the surroundings will
be the most sanitary. The other three
fourths will pay no attention whatever
| to this, but will consider convenience
| only. The so-called malaria, typhoid
and many cases that are called bilious
attacks or summer diarrhea and dys-
| entary are very often due to contamin-
| ated drinking water.
So many wells and cisterns, from
which the drinking water and water us
ed for cooking purposes is taken, are
often located in a back porch or room
or within a few feet of the kitchen door,
or possibly within 10 or 20 feet of out
houses, such as pig styes, stables and

they are at loss to understand it.
| Last summer visited family in

their water supply was very much sur
prised to find that it was obtained from
a cistern located about 20 feet back of

to the pump being defective, allowing

in which dozen or so of ducks were
having the time of their lives. Now
mind you, whenever a rain came or
whenever one of the children got at the
pump and overf1owed these puddles, the
water drained right back into the we'll.
1t is needless to say that the head Of
| the family was given a good lecture,
and advised at once to fill up the pud-
dies, clean out the cistern and keep the
ducks out OF the back yard.

Dy Or. DAVID n. REEDER

| answered, "Those who are always afraid
of diseases are the ones who always get
| them" On this cheerful bit of opti-
mism he had buried his wife and two
| daughters, who apparently died because
they were afraid Of his we'll. Nor is he
a rare exception. All over the u. s.
there are innumerable wells in similar
locations. - =
If the water Is very, cold and clear,
it is often taken as proof or purity.
1t is cold and pleasant to drink, but this
is no evidence that impurities are not
| oozing into it from various sources. A
spring is commonly believed to be un-
questionably pure and always to be pre-
ferred to a we'll. Most springs are: the
very fact that they gush out of the
earth indicate purity and means that
impurities from near by have difficulty
| in forcing themselves into the body of
subterranean water, from which the
| spring takes its source. However, more
| than one charming little spring has
been traced to source never built by
| nature. An overburdened cesspool will
sometimes be the cause of an innocent
| gurgling little spring, perhaps quite a
distance from it's parent.
The we'll that supplies the best and
purest water is bored or drilled we'll.
The we'll should be on an elevation and
deep enough to pass through one or
! more strata of rock. Such a we'll is
|'fool-proof.''
Water from cistern is seldom, If
ever, dependable from sanitary stand
point There are so many ways for it
to become contaminated. If you are go
ing to drill a we'll or dig cistern this
fall or winter, be sure to have them
on high ground and we'll protected from
any possible source of pollution.

Victor xuutson Won Out,

The friends of Victor Knutson, Coun-
ty Supt. of Schools in Todd county, will
be glad to hear that he won out in the
election. He came out second at the
non-partisan primary, but went on the
ballot for the fall election under the pro .
vision which places the two candidates
having the largest number Of votes in
the primary on the general election bal
lot. The vote was close, 25O8 to 2444,
and there were 1927 more votes cast
for superintendent than for president,
which goes to show that the ladies took
hand in the contest. Victor has made
enemies by standing for the right
strongly and uncompromisingly. A VIC
tory won under such circumstances is q
glorious victory, and we congratulate
Mr.. Knutson. sss 81 y:

The >Chicago Stock Show.

Mr.. w. R. Goodwin, managing editor
of the Breeders Gazette, Chicago, in
speaking of the International Live Stock
Exposition, which will this year be held
from Nov. Goth to Dec. 7th, said:
Il have seen more of the great stock
shows and fairs in America in the past
thirty years than any other man, and
l ought to be somewhat case-hardened;
but the international annually fills
me with awe. I approach each exhibit
ton of the consummate triumph of the
breeders art with a fairly reverent
mind. A man may become Indifferent
to the roar of Niagara, but I do not
see how any man can fail to find new
instruction and inspiration in each of
these shows. If I were wholly stock
farmer, as I am partly, I would sacri-
flee much rather than miss an annual
trip to the international" The pro-
fessional bre.-~i may about as we'll
take down his signs as omit this show
from his years programme, and the
stock farmer can gather almost as much
of value from study of it's lessons.
We must have meat to eat The jaw of
the civilized world rises and falls in
the masticatiOn of meat. The farmer
of America-chiefy the farmer Of the
corn belt-must make his meat. He
can learn more about its production at
this great exposition than at any farm
er's institute or special stock train that
ever offered information. The stock
farmer who works his brain as we'll as
his body can make no more profitable
investment than a study of the exhib-
it's of the "International"-the- cattle,
horses, sheep and swine. The farmers
of no other nation have such opportun-
tiles. There is only one "International'
on the globe. American stock farmers
have built it. Their fellows should ap-
preciate it's lessons and learn them"

CLUB NOTES.
Dear Doctor,

Dear Doctor:
I have been reading a great deal on
the benefits to be derived from electri-
cal apparatus of various kinds. I am
confined in an Office all day and believe
that is the cause of my lethargy and
poor circulation. I thought the electric
vibrator would be good for me to use,
but would ask your advice first.
MRS. c.. B.
Migratory stimulation, as given with
an electric vibrator, is without doubt
one of the best treatments for slug
gish circulation and inactivity Of the
internal organs. I have no hesitancy
in advising you to purchase machine;
and I might add that I shall be glad to
write you instructions how to use it.
