us notice. In 1910 for every man,
woman and child i'm the United states
there was produced seven bushels Of
wheat, thirty-two bushels of corn, four
bushels of potatoes and forty pounds
of sugar There were siX-tenths cattle
for each person. siN-tenths sheep and
seyen-tenths swine. Add TO this the
fruits, vegetables, poultry and dairy
products, oats and other small grains
and we see that there is plenty of food
to go around and TO spare.
There was grown in the United

Study Principles of Nutrition.
Man takes food first of that which
pleases his palate. We can no longer
make our choices on the basis of pa
latability alone, and a study of the
principles of nutrition must be pursued
to help MS out of those difficulties
which arise from a restricted supply of
food.
Food has two primary functions in
the body. First, To supply material out
Of which the body is built; and, second,
To furnish energy to warm the body
and To drive its machinery. Perhaps the
second function is the more important.
Plants alone have the power to collect
solar energy and store it up in a latent
or dormant form i'm their seeds and
other parts. Animals may. by eating
and digesting these plant materials,
liberate and utilize this stored-up en-
ergy. When corn is fed to steer under
favorable conditions. 3 per cent>of the
energy of the corn may be recovered
as meat in the edible portion of the
carcass. The remaining 81 per cent
was used by the animal in it's various
activities and lost as far as the nutri-
ton of man is concerned. In pork the
recovered portion amounts to 16 per

the Republicans OF Michigan will not

September IA and goes over the re-
turns of the entire state. Thus far
the totals were fairly close together
and when the correspondents through
the state had sent in all the totals
on Lieutenant governor that they could
get, there still were about 700 precincts
missing and the three candidates for
the office were closely punched.
IL was hoped the return from county
clerks would furnish fairly complete
totals, but a woeful ignorance seems to
have existed among the county clerks

A SAFETY FIRST RECORD.

The Pennsylvania railroad has been

passengers and not one Of them was
killed. The record for 1913 was equal

millions Of passengers carried. not one
was killed. The Pennsylvania system
has 11T2a miles Of line and 26l9s
miles Of track. More than 10000 pas
scupcr trains are operated on these
tracks every month--no less than
3,7G6 every day So that the record is
indeed remarkable one.
This idea II not killing passengers

All Too Characteristic

The story out of Washington that the principal
campaign promise made by j. F. Dubois, who ran for
Congress in Illinois lately and defeated was this:

States navy Now, while there is something decidedly
humorous about this incident is it painfully and truth
fully of the spirit which animates too
of Our congressman today2
81 promised to get two for our court house
square, 81 promised my constituents in Podunk Corn
ers to get them postOfiOe; or G pledged myself
my utmost endeaVors to get appropriation from
Congress for deepening the channel of Big Squaw river
in my district These and similar ideas animate our
congressman to the exclusion of higher considerations
Their whole for existence apparently is get
something from the United States treasury for their
little of the country instead of doing something
for the naton
But would be the last to argue that the con-
gressmen entirely to blame fer this evil tradition
The people who elect them jealous of the grabbing
abilities of other districts and greedy for pums from
Uncle Sam themselves. And it is more or less an idle
waste of time for them cry against the oq-ronq
methods of making appropriations in Congress until they
reform and those members who animated by large
tons of usefulness to the nation instead of to their own
separate bailiwick. Then, and then only will the 81
promised to get two cannon for our court house
