The Nutritious Cracker

An ordinary cracker has fuel or
food value of about one hundred cal
cries, and ordinarily there are from
twenty-three to twenty-four crackers
in a five cent box.
1t is easy to see that there may be
as much as 2, 400 calories of food in a
five cent box of crackers. This is con-
siderable more than cornmeal yields,
and it has been authoritatively de-
clared that cornmeal yields more nut
riment for the money than any other
food known
One of the government bulletins on
corn gives the fuel value per pound
of graduated cornmeal as 1865 Gallo
ries on one page and on another as
ITO, so perhaps the value fluctuates
between these two. Unbolted corn
meal has a fuel value of 1856 calo-
ries. But this shows pretty conclus-
lively that pound of crackers, all
ready to eat and costing no more than
cornmeal in small quantities, is quite
equal to it as a yielder of energy or
body heat, and probably much super
ior.
1t takes a rather large slice of
bread or one of about two ounces
weight to yield one hundred calories.
A whole pound of bread, if we get
that much for five cents, would then
yield only about 500 calories, or about
one-third as much energy making
food as a pound of crackers.
OF course one of the reasons why
the cracker is SO much more concen-
trated a product than bread is that it
contains no moisture, which most
bread contains too much for our
health, exceedingly moist bread being
indigestible for easily explainable rea-
sons.
Crackers are baked until the moist
ure is entirely evaporsted, and they
have become dry, hard and brittle.
They must be kept dry and cool, or
they will absorb moisture. Therefore
those sold in cartons are far cleaner
than those sold In bulk and more

wholesome in every way. Crackers
which have absorbed moisture from
the atmosphere are not palatable, nor
are they wholesome.-JaneE ddington,

NERVES AND WATCHES.
When They Don't Agree Thsrs l4surs
to Be Poor Time.

When They Don't Agree Thsrs fspsurs
to Be Poor Time.
One of the troubles OF watchmakers
is the man who gets ON his watch's
nerves. There are lots of customers
on whom a good watch is wasted. A
good second hand watch that has kept
perfect time for other people will with
certain other people go irregularly
when 1t is not standing still. 1t is
common knowledge In the trade that
watches are greatly Influenced by their
owners. at
Nobody knows the reason. but two
explanations have been offered. One
Is that watches are sensitive to per-
sonal magnetism. the natural electrici-
ty that human beings contain in vary
ing quantities.
The other Is that a watch may be
disturbed by the vibrations set up by
footstep which is heavier than the
ordinary. The man who puts his heels
down heavily usually needs to set the
regulator toward slow to keep 1t from
gaining.
One Of the mysterious sides Of the
subject is that watches seldom keep
good time on people Of nervous, excita-
BILE temperaments.- s.-Pearson's Weekly.

cestures Part Of Talk.

There is u man who from a very
early age has lived In countries where
Spanish is the almost universal tongue.
From force OF this training he speaks
Spanish perfectly. He has not the
slightest trace Of an English accent
and persons who do not know that he
is of American parentage are willing
to believe he is Spaniard merely
from hearing him talk. He Is SO per
fectly bilingual that II shows even in
his gestures. When talking with Eng
lish speaking persons he sits quietly
and does his conversing with his
mouth alone. Only in case of making
point most emphatically does he use
q gesture. But the moment he drops
into Spanish his every word is accom-
panied by a movement Of the hands or
arms II Is interesting to watch the
change from the English to the Span
ish side Of him. because 1t comes so
suddenly. He really can't speak Span
ish without gesturing.-New York Sun.

MANY MEN WORK ON
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY

Yreka News: There are now be-
tween fifty and sixty men at work ON
the state highway survey in the
Shasta River canyon between the
power house and the mouth of the
river clearing the right of way and
establishing four camps, three Of
which will be composed of Swedes
and one OF Italians. There will be
$50 men at work by February 1. The
contractor who carries the mail from
Hornbrook down the river has con-
cluded, we are informed, as soon az
the regular route becomes impossible
by reason of the state highway work,
to take the route from Hornbrook by
way of the Klamathon bridge, up the
Anderson grade to Hawkinsville, over
the Humbug mountains to Humbug
creek, following that stream back to
the klamath river, thence taking the
regular river road to his destination.

Hubbard'S Widow

HELEN OF Jackson county is to intro
duce a bill providing an appropria-
tion of $4,000 for the family of Ar
thur S. Hubbard, deputy game war
den of that county, who was killed
several months ago by Loris Martin,
an alleged game poacher of Elk
creek. Hubbard was trying to take
a gun from Martin when he was
killed. The deputy had attempted to
serve a warrant, the hunter having
been accused of killing deer out of
season.
Hubbard was considered one of the
most efficient wardens in the SER
vice, and Senator Won der HELEN

able under the circumstances. Hub
bard is survived by widow and two

S. P. Booklet
Is Beautiful

Three world expositions is the lat
est method Of designating the $780,
100000 exposition at San Francisco,
-'The Everything in Motion" exposi-
tion at San Diego, and the greatest
of all expositions, the 2,500-mile
stretch of wonderful scenery, glorious
climate and amazing productiveness
the Pacific coast itself.
This is but the introduction to a
64-page, beautifully illustrated, high
ly colored pamphlet called High
Points on Four Great Highways" T"
just issued by the Southern Pacific
for distribution through its own
agents and the thousands of agents
of its connecting lines throughout the
middle west, the eastern states and
Canadian provinces.
The center pages of the pamphlet
are given up to a wonderful pano-
ramic view of the exposition and the
Golden Gate, thirty-one, inches long
by six inches high, and eight pages
are devoted entirely to the exploita-
tion of the Shasta Route, including
many beautiful illustrations of west
ern Oregon, Washington and Califor-
MIA.
We cannot better illustrate the
hroad copnprabauoiva y;ouuDoinf 0f
the officials of the Southern Pacific
than to quote a paragraph from the
book itself:
Anybody who comes to California
in 1915 and arranges his time and
tickets so as to see merely the great
shows at San Francisco and San
Diego without seeing the wonders of
the Pacific coast states will miss the
opportunity of a lifetime. Stupen-
dous though the expositions be, yet
seeing them and failing to see the
natural and cultivate wonders of Cal
ifornia, Oregon, Washington and
Alaska would be like going through
the sideshows at the circus without
taking in the big tent. California,
Oregon and Washington are them
selves a vast exposition of the impos-
ing, the marvellous and the delightful
things of the world hemmed in by
the many-peaked Sierra Nevadas, the
Cascades and the seas"
It seems quite impossible for any
one reading this pamphlet to sup
press a desire to visit the wonderful
states of the Pacific coast.

agent Of the Southern Pacific has a
limited supply of High Points pam
phlets which will be furnished to par
