The Thin Blue Line

Next July will be the hftieth anniver-
sary of the Battle of Gettysburg. On
that historic field, in that month, will
gather goodly number of gray haired
veterans OF the Union army and perhaps
only little less number of Confederate
veterans to meet and fraternize and
and live again the day of Pieketts
charge The last surviving soldier OF
the Revolutionary War died in 1869,
lightweight years after the surrender OF
CORVALLIS. 1t will be 1858 before
eighty eight years will have elapsed
since the surrender of Lee. Some of the
veterans of the great Civil strife are
sturdy men today, but can anyone say
that one of them will survive for forty
years
The records of the Grand Army today
show a death of a Civil War veteran
on an average of every fourteen minutes
They are rapidly passing. There is a
reduction of 81, SO4 from the pension
list in the last year, in spite of additions
by special act of Congress and by more
liberal condition in the law.
There are 1885, 152 less veterans than
there were on the rolls in 1902, though
Congress has opened the pension gates
wider and wider and the annual cost of
pensions which has been showing a little
falling off will be 500 100000 more in
1914 than in 1913 according to present
estimates.
No one can begrudge the veteran who
really saw service, or who really volun-
teered willingly, liberal pension in his
decline. The years are few when there
will be veterans of the Civil war on the |
list. So let them have the |
pension and good one at that say we

Despise Not the Banana

| Time and the physicians have brought
the once avoided ripe" banana into its
| own.
| Forty million lunches OF bananas are
{ brought into this country every year, and
| the amount would be much greater, we
| ton that the iruit is difficult of digestion
aud may give rise to alimentary distress.
The average purchaser avoids the ba-
mana with the dark brown skin and eager
ly selects the fruit with the bright ap-
pearance. The first is the green and the
latter the ripe fruit.
The green banana contains, according
to the Journal of the American Associa-
ton, about LIS per cent of protein, and
20 to 25 per cent of carbohydrate, almost
entirely starch. The ripe banana, with
the yellow brown peel contains some
thing like 16 TO 10 per cent of carbohy-
most entirely in the form of soluble su
gars. In other words. the ripe banana is
about one-fifth sugar, the green one fifth
starch. Green bananas are like greer
apples in EMBELLISHMENTS, because the
starch has not been adequately converted
into sugars in the ripening process.
The banana is richer in nutriments and |
far more delicious than some of its more
expensive competitors in cur dietary and |
should be consumed to greater extent. |

by HENRY REED coNANT.

BY HENRY REED CoNANT.
Our planets course around the sun,
Once more the day has brought us,
Which takes us to the birth of one
Who noble lessons taught us;
The day, when on life's busy stage
Appeared that gallant actor
The friend, the patriot, and sage,
The nations benefactor.
Though obstacles, In early life,
Stood frequently before him,
Though clouds of penury and strife
Hung obviously DER him,
The smiles of fortune, one by one,
Beamed on his humble station
And fame declared her sturdy son
The hero of the nation.
Americas true President
In freedoms cause he peTished:
He saw, by foul oppression rent,
The soil his fathers cherished:
He grieved and prayed for those who
strove
With serVile chains around them,
And, with the strength of human love,
He broke the gives that bound them
True, independent, liberal, brave,
Loves mighty power revealing,
The CLINT of gold could not deprave
His warmth of human feeling:
He saw the grand, the good in all
In every work and creature;
And, though scarce known in Learning IS
hall,
The great world was his teacher.
From sire to son, postelity
Shall tell the martyrs story
Who slew the fiend of Slavery,
And ages sing his glory:
And brighter vet the deeds will glow
Which to the world entwined him,
And stronger still the ties shall grow
That to our bosoms bind him.

OVERRIDING TEA OR COZ

"lf when you go without your

DR.. Elmer Keller, editor of
Good Health Clinic, "you feel
that 'aII-gone' sensation, or if
you have a headache or feel
out of Sorts you may know
that you are topper in the
same sense as the alcohol or
opium addict" To be unable
to go for a day without such a
drug as alcohol or opium is seri-
Gus, but it is only little less
so to be unable to do without
the common table stimuIants.
The use of tftese drugs has an
hereditary influence sufficient
in many cases to account for
drunkenness. Any drug habit
can be overcome by will power
and suggestion. 1t is better to
gradually reduce the strength of
the drink than to eliminate it
altogether at once, especially in
the case of persons past middle
life.

In telling about the cold weather,

sary to send men to the water holes

cattle For several days during the
coolest spell the ice, he stated, was
heavy enough to bear up a horse and
rider on some Of the tanks and the
cattle would have suffered for water

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. Z6.-That the
Lever land law, now pending in Con-
gress, the purpose of which Is TO lease
the public domain for grazing pur-
poses, will not work against the IL
terestS of the small cattlemen, IS the
opinion of Henry A JastrO, president
Of the National Livestock association.
Texas has a lease law" said presl-
dent JaStrO. For a number or years
the state has exercised control over
all its public lands, yet there are many
cattle raisers leasing comparatively
small areas in Texas and the industry
there is in a prosperous condition
Il believe the solution, largely, Of
the present cost of living problem lies
not so much in free meat as in the
scientific raising OF cattle. There are
not as many cattle in the United States
now as a few years ago, for the simple
reason that an injudicious system has
prevailed for a number Of years, with
the result that the ranges have Deen
OYerstocked instead Of conserved The
feed for the millions OF beer cattle
needed as the meat of the people OF
the country is gradually decreasing IN
supply instead of increasing.
"a scientific system properly en-
forced would, in my opinion, save the
open ranges, conserve them, produce
from them DeIIer caLLle lndu are NV
being produced, as well as offer protec-
ton both to the large and small grow
ers: increase the amount of beef cattle
for market, and to that extent lower
the cost of living in the United states.
I believe the solution of the problem
lies in the federal control OF the open
grazing land of the country, OF the
right to lease land for grazing pur-
poses so that more men, feeling the
federal protection, will be willing. TO
invest in the cattle industry and thus
add to the wealth Of the country The
homesteader must, however, be pro-
tected in this because we cannot 90
without him"
