Fred Robertson Denies Story of Pro-
fessionaI DiscOurtesy at GOodland.

Fred Robertson, United States dis
| trict attorney, who with Major A. NJ.
Harvey, is representing Mrs. Berry,
widow of Burchard Berry, in her suit
for $4,000 against Chauncey Dewey,
for the loss of her husband, which is
now being tried in Goodland, says d
false impression has been created con-
corning the attitude of the Goodland
! lawyers.
SIT is true that all the lawyers in
GOodland, who possess libraries, We're
employed by Dewey" said Robertson.
But the implication that because
these lawyers had been employed by
Dewey, they would be discOurteous to
us is false. 1t is common courtesy
among lawyers to permit their
libraries to be used even by opposing
attorneys, and the three lawyers hav-
ing libraries in GoOdland are gentle
men. Major Harvey writes that these
gentlemen are giving him courteous
treatment and lending him all the
books he wants. They are doing this
regardless of whatever Dewey's eX-
pectations may have been when he
employed them

*Decrease.
Corn as Food.

Sending a brigade of cooks to Eu
rope to teach the natives there to eat
corn is only renewing an experiment
tried in times of peace Corn Cake"
Murphy gained immortal note by his
efforts along this line, while Clark E.
Carr and later Maurice Egan did much
to give the Europeans a notion of the
delights of corn as a comestible. These
apostles of a new gastronomy for the
people of Europe met with the OBJ
stacle that has so far proved insur-
mounta BILE Prince and peasant alike
associate corn with stock feed, and.
therefore, decline it.
But corn is really food for the
gods; in nutritive value it is but little
within per cent as much carbohy-
drates and within 8 per cent as much
protein. Much CT the food value of
wheat is sacrificed in preparation of
flour to the end that our dainty appe-
tites may be piqued by the snowy
whiteness of the bread. Thus, bulk
for bulk, good corn bread is quite as
nutritious as is the wheaton loaf.
Many ways of cooking corn are
known, but the simplest are the bet
ter. A sturdy race of pioneers throve
on muSh and milk and corn pOne and
hoe cake. Civilization and luxury have
led the children of these pioneers to
look with diSdain on corn, and to
prefer to secure its great health Civ
ing properties through other med
iums. We have been taking our corn
by way of pork and beef.-Omaha
