WISE PROVISIONS OF NATURE
NutrltIvO Conditions Such That Man
10 Enabled 10 Live In Any
Part Of Earth.

Two studies recently made by Eu-
ropean scientists illustrate the range
in nutritive conditions to which the
human being can adapt himself.
In one case an Eskimo on the island
Of Disco In western Greenland con-
sumed in one day nearly four pounds
Of boiled meat corresponding to IS
grams Of nitrogen and 21S grams OF
fat. This IL said to be far below the
record figure among these people. who
eat very large meals at irregular and
somewhat infreQuent intervals.
Indigestion and other nutritive dis
orders, however, are rare among them,
and their physical endurance and re-
sistance to cold is very high. The way
the above extraordinary meal was uti.
liked by this Eskimo was found to
be very satisfactory.
The other study was Of q man In
Copenhagen "who was able to main
tain himself In excellent nutritive
equilibrium and muscular efficiency
through long periods Of months, not
merely days, on diet essentially COM
posed Of potatoes and margarin.'"'
Four pounds Of potatoes were eaten
daily, yielding S.62 grams of digest
ible nitrogen which with the maTgaTin
amounted to $500 Galleries.
When hard work had to be per-
formed this man ate eight pounds Of
potatoes with liberal additions of fat,
30 that the entire energy content was
brought up to 5000 calories with 10
grams Of digestible nitrogen. No dila.
tation of the stomach was found to
result from these monster meals.
Such cuTi0sitles Of the literature Of
nutrition simply show the great adapt
ability Of the human organism, which
has enabled man to live in every re-
gion Of the earth. It Is needless to
say that neither the maximum nor the
minimum Of any nutritive element is
desirable. The normal individual lives
IN the safe medium.

The number Of persons wearing

5oRAH SAID "a CERTAIN PAPER

The Enterprise is very sorry to note
that Senator Borah IL inclined to pick
a quarrel with the Republican news-
papers OF Idaho Very indiscreet to
say the least. The Republican news
papers. with few exceptions, have been
kind to Mr.. Borah. without money and
without price they have said many nice
things about him. but now when they
happen to go contrary to some deep
rooted Idea OF his he flies off the
handle and charges the newspapers
with being responsible for all that Is
bad in politics In this state This is
rather a sweeping charge, and displays
p brand Of diplomacy that no man In
public life can afford to follow.--Cul-
desac Enterprise.
The effort to make 1t appear that
Senator Borah cast reflections on the
newspapers Of Idaho has fallen fiat.
The senator stated that IL "a certain
newspaper" (which had knowledge OF
o. v. Aliens crookedness'' had done it's
duty and had refused to support him
he would not have been nominated.
and the effort to try TO throw the
blame Of Its own SHORTCOMINGS upon
the primary law would not deceive
anyone. This Is certainly plain enough
language. and could hardly be con-
strued to refer to the country papers
OF the state. It 10 well known fact

feat came from the Signal and a few
other country papers and Senator Bor-

not say much about this ON the stump

that never existed under any previous

to become COURT stenographer for Judge
r. Rotfwell in the fourth judicial dis
trict. He places q high valuation on
his ability as a stenographer. When
the investigation was made into con-
ditions at the state industrial school

ministration Chapman took down the
testimony. After 1t was ell over he
presented a bill of $4,000 to the state
for his services. The legislature cut
