THE MOST HEALTHF UL
FOOD KNOWN

It is perhaps not generally known
among Ottumwa families that Min
nesota" Spaghetti is one of the most
healthful foods known.
It is four times as nutritious as
beefsteak, six times as nutritious as
potatoes and, because it contains more
proteids than most foods, 1t is more
strength giving and less fattening.
minnesota" Spaghetti gives the
power of endurance without overload
ing the stomach and it should be free
ly eaten by everyone, and especially
by children, in place Of meat.
minnesota" Spaghetti is very easy
to prepare, has a deliciously appetiz
ing flavor and costs only about enc 1
cent dish.

Kansas has foreign population OF
only per cent of the total number
OF people of the state, but the foreign
element contributes from one-ffth to
one-fourth of the deaths from dia.
betes, organic heart disease, apoplexy
and Bright's disease in Kansas. Those
figures were prepared by w. ]. v.
Deacon, registrar of vital statistics for
the first year that Kansas has had a
complete vital statistics bureau. The
figures show grave need in Kansas
for immediate work in modes of liv-
ing and foods for the foreign element
which comes into this state, as those
diseases are due more or less direct
ly to the mode of life and the foods.
According to the figures there were
300 deaths from diabetes in Kansas
iT@1912. This is 20 per cent of the
total deaths from that cause. There
were 1,403 deaths from heart disease,
25.2 per cent of which were foreign
ers. There were 1,035 deaths from
apoplexy, 1872 per cent of which were
foreigners, and there were 1856 deaths
from Bright's disease and POS per
cent of these were foreigners. "These
diseases are all brought about through
the mode of living, poor foods, poorly
cooked and the excessive use of al
cohol."

Topeka.-The members of the state
board of irrigation, accompanied by
Governor Hodges, will make a tour
of inspection into western Kansas in
a short time. At that time they will
meet with the various boards of
county commissioners and explain
fully the requirements of the law re.
garding the establishment of exper.
mental farms. The details of BUSH
ness in the establishment of expert
mental stations must all be transact
ed through the commissioners of the
various counties. The members of the
board, F. A. Hines, Scott City; Bert
P. Walker Osborne, and ]. c. Ham
mond, Syracuse, have been in session
here for two days.
District headquarters of the board
will be at Scott City. Relating to the
plans and work outlined, the board
has issued statement which reads in
part:
Counties asking for a station
should first select several sites for
the board to look at when they visit
the county. The site selected by the
irrigation board must then be donated
and decided to the state and the title
made clear After that is done the
board has the full mana cement of the
farm and the work of the county COM
missioners ceases. At the end of four
years, the life of the board, the land
may be sold by the state at its dis
erection. There is so much territory
to cover that 1t will be impossible
for the board to experiment in all
the counties within the next year
The first experiments will likely oc-
cur in the most promising counties
and where the work can be gotten
under way in the quickest time. Be-
fore the board can accept the deed to
a tract of land there must be test
wells on it, together with a log OF
the various stratas of soil passed in
reaching water, and the amount Of
water therein. 1t is not necessary to
sink the test we'll before the board
looks at the land. The board may Sc
lect site with the understanding that
if it comes up to the requirements
of the board it will be chosen. 1t
may then be decided to the state.
"The board of county commission
ers of all the counties in the district
affected will meet in regular quarterly
session April Z. At that time it will
be well for them to talk over the mat
ter of site for experiment. There
will be plenty of time to convey the
deed to the state after the board has
approved certain site. Tracts of
land donated for the purpose of ex-
pertinent need not be the same size
in different counties, but they must
be at least forty acres, However, it
is better that they be of 100 acres"
