that the peculiar acid flavor which tomatoes have is due not to oxalic acid. but to malic acid. which is al so found in unripe apples. Malic acid is not at all harmful In fact. it counteracts the tendency to rheu- mat!sm and o.her diseases which OK alic acid produces.
 Malic acid is found in large quant!- ties in cider, and cider is often pre- scribed with good results for suffer CTS from eout. It is also found Tn oak leaves, which. when used as bandages for the painful joints, have been found extremey helpful in cases of rheumatism.
 Only the faintest traces of oXalic acid exist in tomatoes. It is precipi- tated by soluble calcium salts and would therefore be readily revealed in the filtered juice of canned to- matoes. which is rich in these salts. But a careful chemical analysis of many different samples of juice fails to show the slightest trace of it.
 Further examination showed that the acidity of ripe tomato is due to bimalate made up of two mole cules of organic. combustible acid and an alkaline mineral base. The latter has been shown to be nothing less than cream of tartar, which as has long been known, is quite necessary for the body's health. About one and a quarter parts of cream of tar tar are found in every one hundred parts of tomatoes. The tomato ge.s its acid taste not from it's higher acidity. but from the absence of sugar and the peculiar flavor of this alkaline base.
 Tomatoes, if eaten in moderate quantities. produce the same changes in ones system as all acid fruits which contain no oxalic acid. The malic acid is destroyed, the cream of tartar is liberated and this lat ter renders the body fluids alkaline.
 l. would. therefore, seem that per sons with a tendency to rheuma- tism should he urged to eat toma- toes rather than forbidden them. They are particularly valuable to heavy meat eaters or to those who indulge in alcoholic stimulants.
 The cream of tartar which we take in the form of baking powder is not sufficient to neutralize the acids produced by heavy con sumption of mea. This is why when much meat is eaten it should always be accompanied by acid fruits or vegetables of qualities sim fn

Cruiser To l est
 Matanuska Coal

How the Matanuska coal is to Maryland is told as follows in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of recent date
 The armored cruiser Maryland, Commander Philip Andrews com manding, will arrive at the Bremen ton navy yards upon the completion of her repairs at Mare Island At this yard the cruiser will take on a full load of fuel coal and proceed to Controller bay, Alaska.
 At Controller bay there are two large barges hauled up on the bank at Chilkat, near katalla. The Mary land will hoist these barges on board and steam to the head of Cook h. let and take on board approximately 900 tons of Matanuska coal, which has been transported from the coal beds at knik, at the head of Cook Inlet
 The Maryland is then under or ders to make a series of complete and exhaustive tests on the Matan- uska coal, which it is claimed is far superior to that formerly tested by the navy department. Claimants for the value of Alaska coal for use of the navy have entered a protest against the recent adverse decision of the department in that they claim the coal tested last year by the Maryland had been exposed to the elements for a considerable time and was mixed with rock and dirt in the careless sacking of it.
 "The Maryland has instructions to be at the head of Cook Inlet by June 1 in order that all the tests requir- ed may be completed by August, when the Maryland will be called upon to convey the submarine tend CT Alert and the newly designated flotilla that is to be stationed at Pearl harbor The submarines comprising the flotilla will be the F type. two of which were constructed in Se- attle."

Lady Wolverhampton, a well-known British peeress, has hit on a novel notion to help the starving thou sands in London. Quite in an in- formal fashion she organizes gath erings of her friends, and, aided by them, paints the wooden toys which some out-of-work men have proved remarkably skillful in manufactur- ing. A beginning was made with dogs. cats and comical girls with jointed legs, and more complicated

 Many persons who are fond of to- matoes have hesitated to eat freely of them for fear that they were un- healthful. Even in medical circles the belief has prevailed that toma- toes tended to cause gout, rheuma tism and similar diseases on account of the oxalic acid they were suppos- ed to contain.
 The latest investigation, however, show these ideas were all wrong, and that, far from being harmful, tomatoes deserve to be ranked among the most valuable vegetables human beings can eat

FARM DEMONSTRATION EXHIBITS
Will Be Shown at Louisiana Fair-Re.
suits Of Cooperation in State. -

Under direction of Mason Snowden,
state agent in charge of tho Louisiana
branch of this work. the agents of the
Cooperative Farm Demonstration Blu :
reau are preparing for the biggest ex~
hibit they have ever shown at the State
Fair at Shreveport Almost every par
lsh in the state will he represented.
The demonstration movement has
spread over the greater portion OF
Louisiana, and the agents in every par
ish in which it has taken root are COM
plying with Mr.. SnoWden's request to
collect various agricultural specimens
for the Bureaus big octh in the gener-
al agricultural building at the Fair.
These exhibits will be evidence Of
what is being accomplished in Louisi-
ana by the COOPERATIVE Farm Demon
stration department. The results are
wonderful, as wisl be demonstrated by
the numerous fine specimens of corn,
cotton hay, oats and other diversified
products. One OF the special lessons to
be taught the visitors to this booth
is the fact that the demonstration
agents endeavor to save the farmers
labor and eXIensa and at the same time
increase their advantages and profits.
This is done by the adoption and steady
use of the scientific and practical meth
DDS laid down by the demonstration
experts.
The farmers who take part in the
Demonstration Bureaus exhibit, will
also be entitled to participate for gen.
eral agricultural premiums. Their pro-
ducts will be judged the same as all
other products entered in the premium
competition. And, in addition to- lend
ing encoura cement to the cooperative
demonstration work they may receive
prizes for best specimens displayed al

ating the teIefits derived from the
demonstra tive bureau, will pay for
shipping AMI other expenses connected
with the shipment of the exhibits e
Shreveport.

FROM OVER OUR GREAT STATE.

The Vivian High School opened last
week with 420 pupils.
DR.. Andrew A. Forsythe, mayor of Mon
roe for fifteen years, died Tuesday.
The parish of iberia has entered the
campaign against the cattle tick The
police jury of that parish has ordered ten
watts to be built Immediately.
Assumption Pioneer: A number of
Hungarian and Bohemian farmers have
purchased farms on the Raceland Prairie,
and will move here with their families.
Assumption Pioneer: The rains which
fell throughout this section for the past six
days have done lots of good to the cane but
ruined the hay crop which was left in the
fields.
Ringgold had ginned 27O bales of cotton
up to September 23d, against 500 bales up
to that date last season, and bought 27O
bales, 300 bales against the same date last
season.
Assumption Pioneer: An Indiana farmer
who is raising hogs on farm in Iberville
Parish says that South Louisiana is the
ideal country for the best breeds of hogs.
He says that there is no other State offers
the green food all the year like this State.
Mr.. Robert M. Denholme, business man
ager of the Shreveport Times, was ruth
lessly shot through the back and almost
instantly killed in the business office of the
Times about 6:15 o'clock yesterday even
ing by crazy negro, who was killed by
Policeman L. H. Williams.
New Orleans Christian Advocate: It is
reported that S4,OOO,OOO contract has
been signed with Eastern capitalists pro-
viding for the construction of an interur-
ban electric railroad from Shreveport to
Monroe, by way of Minden, Arcadia and
Ruston, distance of ninety miles.
The cotton crop is probably two thirds
open and picking is being rushed. Ginning
is keeping well up with picking, but little
cotton is being sold. Most farmers are in
clined to hold and buy "a bale and other re-
lief plans are meeting with favor. Weevils
have destroyed most of the crop, so that
little danger exists from damage of frost oil

The Louisiana Planter of last Saturday
says: Low temperatures continue to pre-
vail in the Louisiana sugar district and
under the influence of them the cane is
ripening but making hardly any additional
growth. Considerable rainfall has occur
red, followed by clear, cool weather and the
planters have been busy fall blowing. The
corn and hay harvests have been largely
completely. Preparations for the com
mencement OF grinding are in evidence and
laborers are beginning to reach the plan
tations. 1t is quite probable that the grind
ing will commence on most of the planta-
tons somewhat earlier than usual.

FROM OUR STATE EXCHANGES.

New Orleans States: We are inclined to
believe that Kaiser Bill has forbidden the
wearing of morning in Berlin because it is
visible reminder of the awful slaughter
for which he is responsible.
Very well said by the New Orleans
States: Quite far from the reach of bull
lets are the rulers, diplomats and statesmen
whose decades of intriguing, tanning of
prejudices or lack of manly courage and
frankness produced the atmosphere out
of which the war bolt flashed. The system
which developes hates and insolence and
swagger, thus compelling nations to arm,
counterarm, stagger, groan and fight is
what needs killing. Civilization must
somehow attend to this job or be itself
killed.
Shreveport Caucasian: The State OF
Virginia has been enrolled it the prohibi-
ton column by majority of over $4,000.
The issue was not local but statewide. In
this election as in others, the breweries
and their cohorts were active, and so were
the whiskeyites. There was feature re-
markable and surprising. Stated briefly,
cities which had been expected to give
majorities for the vets voted for the drvs,
Richmond, Alexandria and WILLIAMSBURG
returned majorities for the optionists. The
result of this election is significant. 1t is
another blow struck at booze, the ally OF
crime and lawlessness.

BETTER BABIES SHOW.
This Will Feature Louisiana State "a

Nothing at the Louisiana State Fair
last year was bigger success than
the Better Babies contest, and nothing
this year promises to prove more popu-
lar than the 1914 Better Babies show.
1t will be in progress throughout the
week of the Fair, November 4 to II.
The main object of this feature of
the Fair is for the babies to receive
the benefit of expert medical examina-
ton, SO that the defects and abnormal
conditions, il there are any existing,
may be pointed out to the parents. This
is for the purpose of having the condi-
tons improved and the babies properly
developed.
But besides this inducement for ba-
bies to be placed in the show, there
are some splendid prizes offered. These
included cash prizes aggregating 5000
and gold. silver and bronze medals,
offered by the WOmans Home Compan-
ion, which is encouraging the Better
Babies movement throughout the coun-
try, and rs giving Shreveport the credit
for holding the initial contest of this
sort.
In the contest last year 225 babies
were entered There were different
classes, the boys and girls being judged
in different classes, and the competi-
ton was intensely interesting Many
mothers and fathers received inforna-
ton from judges that have no doubt
already resulted in defects in their
children being cured.
Mrs. G. L. Wheeler of Shreveport will
have charge of the show and DR.. J. M
Bodenheimer, also of Shreveport, will
be the medical director. Mrs Wheeler
will have number of club ladies as
sisting, some for each day, and DR.. Ro-
denheimer will be assisted by about
sixty physicians. There will also be
about thirty trained nurses to help ir
the judging of the children.
Score cards will be used for recorda
ton of any abnormal conditions, so the
parents may be advised.

Hurrah for Virginia! In the parlance of
some, we would say "She did herself
proud" Old John Barleycorn got another
knockout in that State from which he will
never be able to recover. It was great
victory. 1t was, moreover, q clean-cut
victory won in the face of desperate oppo-
sition, aided and abetted by @hiskyite
slush fund of 81, 100000, and leaves not
the slightest cause to doubt that public
sentiment in Virginia is overwhelmingly
against the open saloon. The saloon in
the United States has held the belt for a
long time, but each bout now demonstrates
its waning strength and the friends Of
morality are confident that the day is not
far distant when the nation, State by State.
as it should be, will outlaw the liquor traf-
fic. Five other States, California, Oregon,
Colorado, Washington and Ohio will vote
on prohibition in November.
