Eating An Apple

DO you know what you are eatingY''
said the doctor TO the girl.
IAN apple, of course.
"You are eating" said the doctor,
"albumen, sugar, gum, malic acid,
gallic acid. fibre, water and phosphOr-
us.
81 hope those things are good. They
sound alarming.
Nothing could be better. You ate,
| observe, rather too much meat at
dinner. The malic acid neutraliZes the
excess of chalky matter caused by too
much meat and thereby helps to keep
you young. Apples are good for your
complexion. Their acids drive out the
noxious matter which causes skin erup-
tions. They are good for your brain,
which those same noxious matters, if
retained, render sluggish. Moreover,
the acids of the apple diminish the
acidity of the stomach that comes with
some forms of indigestion. The phos-
phorus, of which apples contain a larger
percentage than any other fruit or veg
etable, renews the essential nervous
matter of the brain and spinal column.
q, the ancients were not wrong when
they esteemed the apple the food of
the gods-the magic renewer Of youth.

The TenderfOOt at Poker

A Chicago man tells of poker game
played in Wyoming town, in a saloon
where the barkeeper. with the assist
ance of three crooks, puts one across
now and then on tenderfoot.
One night such specimen appeared
and, after a few drinks, was induced
to sit in" for awhie,a at dollar limit
Matters progressed in the usual way
for bit: then an astonishing series Of
mods and winks kegan to pass about.
The bartender had signalled that the
tenderfoot held four kings on the draw.
Then the betting began.
Presently a waiter brought sand
wiches and whskey, in order to distract
the tenderfoot. While the latter was
disposing Of his drink the man next to
him slipped sixth card into his hand,
thus multiplying it.
The unconscious tenderfoot took up a
huge sandwich, bit off large mouth
ful, and began to bet again. He was,
of course, raised all around. He bet
on. and ate on. quite calmly. A sbig
sum lay on the table.
Then, very suddenly, the bartender
resumed his signalling. He was ex.
cited. 1t was plain that things were
going wrong. The crooks, anxious,
called the tenderfOot.
The latter finished the last bite of his
sandwich, took a big drink of whiskey,
and laid down his original five cards.
Then, in silence, he gathered up his
winnings, and took his leave.
After his departure, there was the

do with that sixth card"

WASHINGTON GROW
ERS FIGHT BLIGHT

The fruit growers Of the districts of
eastern Washington are waging a cam
paign for the eradication of fire blight,
which is said to be menHcing orchards
Of that section. At a meeting in Spo.
kane last week Governor Ernest Lister
outlined plans Of battling with the
blight, terming it as the worst menace
the fruitgrowers had ever faced. One
of the speakers at the meeting, J. H.
Brislawn, said:
Fire blight appeared in this county
about two years ago, but not until this
year has it become grave menace.
There are over 10000 acres in orchards
in this county and over 1000 orchards
are infected. One of the chief dangers
comes from infection in small orchards
where grain farming is the chief inter
est and where the farmer will care but
little whether the blight kills his
trees.
Meetings have been held throughout
the affected districts during the past
week. Governor Lister has offered
state assistance, and growers have
been urged to band themselves together
to fight the devastating blight.

PROF. SAFR0 GIVES
ADVICE ON SPRAYS

Prof. V. |. Safro, Of the Oregon Ae-
riculturael College, who left last week
after having been located with the
Horticultural Experimental Station,
says that the station has been receiving
many queries as to the time 20 spray
for codling moth. The growers will
ask why the orchards should not be
sprayed Immediately, says Prof. SAT.
70, since the cOdling moths are seen
coming out. The moths, however, will
net begin to lay until about June 10,
when the eggs will hatch and be ready
to attack the fruit. IL the apples are
sprayed now, of course the surface
will be covered with arsenate of lead
spray, but It must be remembered that
in two or three weeks the apples will
be about twice as big as they are now,
and only half of the surface will be
covered. 1t will be better to wait Just
as long as possible for the arsenate of
lead spray.
However, il a grower decides to
combine his moth spray and the scab
spray, the latter of which should be
applied as soon as possible. he should
take no chances with the scab, and the
combined spray should be applied at
once,

LOCAL FOLK ENJOY
RIVER BOAT TRIP

During the high water season. when
the Bailey Gatzert lands at the foot of
First street and il is not necessary for
passengers TO make the long, tedious
trip across Hood River 10 the low water
dock Of the Regulator line, many peo-
pie take advantage of the pleasant
river journey between here and The
Dalles. While the sun may shine very
warmly on land, good breeze seems
always TO blow when the boat is in
midstream and one never suffers from
being over warm. No one can find a
more pleasant afternoons diversion
than the up-riyer boat ride.
The Bailey Gstzert, which recently
began its daily service between Port
land and The Dalles, arrives in the city
on the up-riyer journey at one thirty
and reaches the local wharf on the
return journey at four thirty. Ii car
rles no freight and the stops at land
ings are very short. A number of local
people have taken the boat to The
Dalles, returning by train.
The rugged sides Of the Columbia
gorge, as viewed from a river boat, are
very impressive. Just west Of LYLE is
seen the Memaloose Island. the former
buying gound Of the Indians.

Frost Damage in NeighbOring Communities

A heavy frost on Wednesday night
of last week took a toll of the early
vegetable crops in some of the neigh
boring communities. At Goldendale
and The Dalles potatoes we're badly
nipped.
No damage has been reported in this
valley. IL had corn eight inches high, "

the frost and covered the corn up all
but the tips. But not even the tips

Take Plenty Of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that "rapid eating is
slow suicide" If you have formed the
habit of eating too rapidly you are most
likely suffering from indigestion or con-
stipation, which will result eventually
in serious illness unless corrected. Di-
gestion begins in the mouth. Food
should be thoroughly masticated and in.
saivated. Then when you have full.
ness OF the stomach or feel dull and stu
pid after eating, take one of Chamber.

stomach trouble and constipation have
been cured by the use Of these tablets.
They are easy to take and most agreeable
