Food Supply Of the Farm Home.

MUCH public has been excited by the recent
ment of the United Public Health Service to the eeet t
the development the disease known peagfa IN human ph
depends on faulty diet Among the suggestions OF the pup
ment of pelagra is number items which emphasize the i'm
porance the campaign Of the department and the M
ura colleges to increase production of food supplies on the
farm especially bring home supply of meat eggs milk
and butter. ,.,.,
Among specific recommendations of the public health
service
a) The ownership of milk cow an increase OIL mix pro-
ducton for home consumption.
(b) Poultry and egg raising for home consumption
(c) Stock raising
(d) liberalization and cultivation of food crops ,
These four specifications give added argument for the
campaign raising and farm Investigation which has
been especially urged particularly for the South It is quite
reasonable therefore, that the production of the fam
lily meat supply will not only decrease consid
eraby expense the family table and add somewhat directly
family WE'LL but will have profound effect on the
health and well being of the members of the family.

The number of workers who
spend as they earn and all they earn
is almost beyond belief. The cities
are full OF them. Loss Of work,
illness, or some unusual cali on q
workers earnings leaves him prac-
tically pauper. In his work he
must be a slave or q machine in un-
congenial employment. for he has
nothing on which to draw while he
seeks for something better.
Thrift has been well described a.
the science of spending upward,
Without thrift one debars ones self
from the glorious privilege of inde-
pendenee. To spend money wisely
and to the best advantage, one needs
to exercise forethought, or one may
accumulate unsuitable and unneces-
sary things.
Along with forethought must go
order. Acquire the habit during the
incoming year of keeping an account
of all personal expenditures down
to the last penny. Train the chill
dren to do the same with their pocket
money. 1t will be great educa-
tional power. Never treat money
affairs with levity," said Bulwer Lyt-
ton. Money is character."
It no doubt took great deal of
sslf.denial for a soldier during the
Civil War to save money, but 'Pri-
vate Joe" Fifer, as he was known
throughout the middle West in the
eighties, did it. He saved $3.50 of
his hard earned money TO pay for
an education, and after the war was
over he began to study law, though
he had begun life as bricklayer.
By dint OF the same perseverance
with which he saved the money for
his education, he became governor of
the State Of Illinois. It is the dis
cipline OF self-control and frugality
that brings results.

A Zeppelin Did II.

VTy1er County Stnr.J
That must have been bomb from
a passing Zeppelin that burested the
water tank on Friday evening. No
other reasonable cause can BIO as
signed but seriously speaking, our
citizens believe that this act was done
with intent and that they can see a
motive behind 1t. Preparation has
been made to meet any trouble from a
similar occurrence and what might
possibly follow in an attempted rob-
berry Of some of the institutions of
the town.
