European crisis from the point Of

WHAT ONE EATS IN LIFETIME.
~ 900 Eggs, Four and Half Tons
of Bread and 40 HOgsheads of
Wine.

The Germans have a little proverb
attributed to Goethe, What man eats
he is,'' writes Winnifred Harper
Cooley, president of the National AS
sociated Clubs of Domestic Science.
Every one who knows the last bit
about physiology realizes that the
blood and bones, the muscle and deli
cate tissues, the heart and lungs and
brain are made from food. AS the
plant is nourished by air, water, soil
and sunshine, SO human bodies re-
quire air, water and sunshine and
material in the form of substance
called food in order to exist at all,
to grow and to maintain beauty and
health.
Knowing this so we'll that it sounds
absurd to state it, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger, it is not surprising that
we give no heed to what we eat, sat-
isfying the immediate and often
corrupted appetite as unintelligent-
ly as do the lowest animals. Nature
has indicated that the little baby,
suddenly come into the world, help
less, shall find awaiting it bounti-
full supply of the most nutritious pos
sible food-mother's milk. If at all
normal it is sustained and grows
healthy and perfect in. form, and in
pink and white flesh for over a year.
But after it is weaned its food is
more or less haphazard, and when
the child develops abnormal tastes
for pickles and pastry and sweets it
frequently is given them without
knowledge as 20 it's needs.
Perhaps you think that, after all,
it is not important to study the food
problem. We eat only a few meals
daily, and can manage to find enough
nutriment somehow. Let me tell
you what chemist claimed is the
amount the average person consumes
during lifetime of 70 years:
Thirty oxen, 200 sheep, 100 calves,
200 lambs. so pigs, 1900 fowls, 900
turkeys, $500 fish, 10000 oysters,
5,475 pounds of vegetables, 244
pounds of butter, $4,000 eggs, Az
tons of bread, 5000 gallons of tea
and coffee, 54S gallons of spirits and
40 hogsheads of wine.

THE GLAMOR OF DISTANCE.
To Some People II an Article Was
Made i'm England or Paris is
Prima Facie Evidence That
It is Better.

Distance lends enchantment." No
proverb is truer to real life than
this sententious saying, which packs
into three words whole philosophy
of business.
To some people the fact that an ar
ticle Of goods was made in England,
Paris, or elsewhere, is prima facie
evidence that it is better. If they
stopped to think about it they ought
to know that the United States, what
ever its political and social faults,
is acknowledged as supreme in ma
terial ACC ement.
Our cGx 'riots build the best
bridges, prSAh, the most convenient
railroad tra> nd the most COM
Portable homes ), chances are at
least more than SA,at the output
of their mills is s adapted to
meet home needs tn, Il, of some
distant foreign produ> Ny
Similarly there are ID many
people who feel an instlnctive pre-
judice against articles bought in their
home town. Something secured in
some distant store looks better to
them, until they actually test its
qualities.
Yet If this feeling is analyzed. 1t
is seen to be about as well founded
a the fancied superiority of foreign
goods. The home store does small
Ter business than some distant depart
ment emporium. 1t loses a fraction
of costs there. But 1t more than
makes it up by cheaper rents. Then
there is the fact that the larger a
business center is, the more it costs
to run store there. Almost every
item in the expense account is at a
higher rate. All this is charged to
the consumer.
For such reasons a we'll advertised
home store is about as efficient ma
chine for serving the public as you
can get. The buyer for stores the
size of ours is close enough to the
counter SO that he makes very few
mistakes.

China Sends U. S. $4,000 Eggs.

One hundred cases of eggs arriv-
ed in st. Louis from China yesterday.
They were imported by local COM
mission dealer under the new tariff
law, which admits eggs into this
country free of duty.
The commission merchant said he
would sell the eggs to retailers at
20 cents a dozen and still make q
profit. Eggs for the last week have
been quoted around 26 cents.
These cases contain $4,000 eggs.
A member of the firm said he
bought the eggs through agents in
China at 10 cents dozen, and that
they were part Of shipment Of 800,
900 dozen.

courage Breeding of Better
Stock.

One of the next big events to take
place in Decorah is the third annual
colt show which will be held on Win
nebago street, near Water street,
Saturday, March IA. The show will
begin at one o'clock p. M, and is ex-
cusively for weanling foals of 1918.
The show is promoted and guaran-
teed by the four banks of Decorah.
AS the banks depend on the farmers
for great bulk of their business,
the show is gotten up to encourage
and help the breeding of better stock.
These exhibitions in the past have
been the source Of much good. They
create an interest in good animals,
and as the judging will be done by
Prof w. j. Kennedy, director of the
agricultural extension of Iowa State
College, at Ames, than whom there is
no better judge in the west, all con-
testants will be sure of square deal,
and the good and bad points, If any,
will be pointed out in a clear man
ner. The animals will be judged on
their merits and not how fat they
are.
$105.O0 in prizes are offered for
the different breeds as follows:
Full Bloods-Percheron Belgians,
Clydesdales.
Grades-Percherons, Belgians, Cly-
desdales.
Carriages or roadsters.
Each class has five prizes also as
follows: first; $4.00 second !;
$500 third; $500 fourth; $1.OO
fifth.
Entries for the show can be sent
to w. E. Beard. Decorah, or to any
of the, four banks. The entries will
be received up to twelve o'clock the
day of the show, and no entrance fee
will be charged Immediately after
the show Prof. Kennedy will lecture
on matters of interest to farmers and
stock raisers. Every farmer in the
county is earnestly urged to come in
and hear the lecture, even if they
have no colts to enter. The lecture
alone will be worth coming many
miles to hear and there will be no
charge for it whatever. The farmers
of Winneshiek county raise fine hors-
es, that is we'll known fact, and if
they respond with entries as they
should for this third annual colt
show, one of the finest exhibits OF
horseflesh in the state will be the re-
suit. Let every farmer who can do
SO make preparations now to attend
the show, have your colts ready, and
remember the date, Saturday, March
l4th at Decorah.

POPULAR ATTRACTION
COMING MONDAY
Little Women" One of the Popular
Dramas of the Day Will be the
Grand's Attraction March
9th.
SEATS ON SALE AT PARMAN'S.
MATINEE AND EVENING SHOWS.
A Packed House Should Greet This
High Class Drama, One Of VIM.
s. A. Brady's Best Plays.

Seats went on sale Friday at E. j.
Parman's for that popular, high
class drama, Little Women" which
will appear here next Monday, March
9th. The following from the Sioux
City Journal gives an idea of the
popularity of the play:
The English language has given
few sweeter stories than Louisa M.
Alcott's Little Women" The fact
that the charm of the book is main
tanned in the dramatization of the
novel is sweeping commentator for
the play, which just now is holding
the boards at the Grand theater.
Little Women" is one of the SER
les of striking plays that has reached
the modern stage from the musty
pages Of the past. 1t is a striking
illustration of the belief of producers
that there still exists theater going
public that likes clean, sweet story,
told in moving dramatic form.
The children of the children who
read the book as it came fresh from
the printing presses should see Lit
tie Women" The statement that the
stage has preserved the atmosphere
of the book will be sufficient to at
tract those who smiled and wept
over the adventures of Meg, 10, Beth,
Amy and Laurie.
Essentially Little Women is a
comedy, though it carries its pretty
trend of pathos. 1t is philosophical,
but it's philosophy is of human kind
ness and not of cynicism. 1t is dra-
matte, in so far as drama can take
its place in the more or less even
moving life of group of four girls.
AS play Little Women carries
the odor of violets or of roses press
ed in aged tones. There should be
more plays like it.
William A. Brady has given to the
western production that industrious
attention to detail of cast and set
ting that is characteristic of most Of
the offerings he sends on the road.
Lucy Cotton is a charming Meg,
cultured Meg. Her stately bow, de-
licious confusion in the presence Of
the lover and her prim lectures to
her sisters are choice morsels of the
play. But in popularity and in
Characterization work Miss Cotton
has a peer in Margery Taylor, the
tempestuous 10 Of the cast. Olga
Westley and Elaine Benton are pleas
ing as the other members of the
quartet of little women. Margaret
Dills brings to the character of Mrs.
March studied distinction, and her
forge, the Plato of the piece, gives
we'll defined Characterization to the
part of Mr.. March, while Eleanor
Carey is given approval as the aunt
of the piece. George NJ. Clark makes
fine impression in his handling Of
the role of Laurie.
Little Women" in it's stage pic
lures, sets down in detail the home
life of the civil war period. Quill
pens and hoop-skirts, old fashioned
book shelves and colonial cozy corn
ers all lend to the play the atmos-
phere thrown about the characters
in the descriptive passages penned by
the author of The book.
