Wholesome weu-cooked food

Wholesome, well-cooked food
is indispensable to the mainten-
ance of physical soundness, yet
few people know anything of the
primary food principles or their
effect on the human body. 1t is
common to see much food wasted
because poorly cooked. The daily
menu in many homes Jacks varie-
ty: fried dishes are served, one or
more, at every hot meal, and
fruit, fresh or canned. and milk
are almost unknown. EVERY
meal should contain a suitable
quantity of each Of the elements
most needed in the human body.
If there is too much Of one sub
stance and not enough OF another,
the highest economy OF food
preparation has been missed.
Homemaking is science and
there is no more important part
of the whole than the preparation
of meals satisfying and healthful.
In these few suggestions. which
to many Of you may seem too OBJ
vious to be worth while. my pur-
pose has been to show that the
| features of our environment we
consider the least important are
really Of great moment In the
maintenance of physical well be-
ing. Economically. there is no
aspect of the situation in city and
country so poorly understood and
so undervalued as hygienic habit
of living and sanitary environ
ment. To the family of small
| means they are most important. A
case of typhoid fever has mort
gagged many a home. Low earn
ing power from preventable IL
ness is the root of misfortunes OF
thousands who do not know why
thew are failures.
The cost Of preventable disease
from figures gathered before 1910
is estimated, annually, $11.27 per
capita.

FARM SANITATION.

There is at present new signif
icant interest in all aspects OF
rural life and conditions.
The reasons are plain. One
hundred years ago, the urban pop
ulation was 49, p. C. of the whole
in 1910 it was 1853 p. ca change
fraught with danger to the gen.
eral welfare. Increase in poverty
and physical degeneration, al
ready noticeable. are two of the
dire results.
This alone would be a sufficient
reason for giving thought to rural
conditions.
The economic feature, also, il
important. With only 40 to 52.I
p. G. of the people food producers
disaster is imminent.
But THE interest in practica al
rural sociology is a manifestation
Of a changing ideal Of the collec-
tive mind. As a nation, we are
awakening to the idea of relative
values. 1t is trite to say that we
have over-emphasized the material
pre-eminently the accumulation
Of fortunes. This ideal yet pre-.
dominates, but values of differ
emit kind are beginning to be un-
derstood. The effort at social
zati0n" Of the country has its
basis in the dawning apprehen-
sion that ultimate values are not
material, but spiritual.
The aspects Of rural life, log,-
cally, may be differentiated and
roughly classed as economic and
social An analysis of the first
of these gives threo elements
fundamental to a new order.
Means Of communication is the
basis Of all advancement in rural
modes of living.
Isolation implies ignorance and
apathy; distrust and prejudice.
It's usual concomitant is poverty.
The building of roads taken up in
this State with zeal and lnt'elli-
gence during the past four years
forms the foundation of the IN
dustrial and social structure
Equal in Importance in this eff
fort at economic regeneration is
the acceptance by the farmer of
principles of the science of agri-
culture and the intelligent appii-
cation Of these in the larger as
poets of management as well as in
the daily routine of the business
of farming.
Fortunately for our progress
the Department of the Louisiana
State University which has the
direction of this effort is in charge
of q force. trained for the work,
and the policy of these men and
of the University itself is that of
practical activity. To have every
farmer a member of the Univers-
ity or the University part of
every home is the aim Of the Col
lege of Agriculture.
It is no small cause for congrat-
ulation that the Extension idea is
taking root and spreading in

Poll taxes. If any names are sent
in and are drawn as Commission

cations,I will, Of necessity, be COM
PEELED to refuse to commission

was taken up in the recorders court
Monday afternoon for the second
time, the first trial having resulted
in a mistrial, with Mr.. d. d. Noise
representing the defendant and Mr.. T
ii. Clifton the city.
The case was one of those worked
up by the negro detectives hired nv

never seen the detective. while The
detective told of having visited her
and how he bought the whiskev. Mr..
Mckagen testified to having sent the
detective to the house and having
seen him knock at the door. Wit
nesses were put up by the defense TO
show that Glanton, the detective. had
told other parties that he would
turn them up" if they did not pay
him $500.
The jury after the hearing of the
evidence returned a verdict of guilty
and the recorder imposed a sentence
of 500 or 80 days on the Fraser wo-
man.

REGISTRATION LITIGATION
Newberry Clerk May Await Order of
Court Before Surrendering Books of
Registration.

Columbia, March 25.-In view of
the fact that there is a contest over
the books of registration, I suggest
that you retain them until you are or
dered by the court as to which board
you shall deliver them" This state
ment was made by Attorney General
Lyon in letter to the clerk of court
OF Newberry, in answer to a letter
requesting an opinion as to the con-
test going between the old registra-

the governor.

on you to determine who is lawfully

TO the possession, and I suggest that
1T would be we'll to await instructions
from the court.
1t is expected that attorneys for the
new board will bring mandamus pro-
