BEWARE OF TOO
MUCH ICE WATER
Doctor Ravenel of University of
Missouri Says Abundance
Of Cool Water is
Healthful, However.

Beware of drinking too
much ice water" said Doctor NJ
P. Ravenel, professor of bacteri
ology and preventative medi,
cine at the University of Mis-.
souri,, when asked about its
harmful effects.
"There is no objection to
drinking an abundance of water
which is we'll cooled" said Doc.
tor Ravenel, "but excessive
quantities of ice water are dan
gerous, especially to old peo-
pie.
Doctor Ravenel said that en-
periments have shown that the
drinking of water in fairly large
quantities increases metabolism
in other words that the pro-
cesses of digestion and absorb
ton are increased in rapidity
rather than impaired by its use,
so that there is a firm basis for
the belief that drinking water
tends to make one fat.
Water is harmful when TAX /

said Doctor Ravenel. 1T makes

ly: 1t is a much better habit to
drink plenty of cool and clean
water than to guzzle soft drinks
at sodawater stands. These
drinks often contain certain
amount of sugar, artificial col
orinp matter. and artificial
flavors, which may be danger

cially should be supplied with
cool water in abundance during
The hot season.

Tells How to Can Sweet Corn.

Now when good sweet corn il
SO easily procured is the time for
The housewife to en- some fol-
use next winter. When the
corn selected is young and ten
der and is canned soon after
gathering, the product is far
superior to COMMERCIALLY canned
CORN. Those WHO Rave tried
home-canned corn one year do
not have to be urged to try it
again.
According to the department
of home economics Of the Uni
versity Of Missouri at Columbia,
corn is more difficult to can
than fruits and most other vese-
tables. This is because the corn
forms such a compact mass that
it is hard. to heat through, and
because it is more. difficult to
kill the micro-organisms which
cause it to spoil.
To can corn, boil it in sailed
water, just as if you were going
to serve it, from 10 to Is min
utes, Gut it from the cob and
pack it in quart jars. Add
enough boiling water to com.
pletely cover and q rounding
teaspoon Of salt to each quart.
Put on the covers OF the jars
loosely and place the jars on q |
rack Of some kind in a boiler. |
Put in enough clean water to
completely cover and boil four
hours, counting from the time

Salt Fatal to Chickens.

One cause Of the many deaths
among chickens is the feeding 81
snbstances containing salt, even
ia small quantities. Mashed Do
tatoes. containing only sufficient
salt for a mild seasoning, prove
fatal If fed in any quantity.
Other waste from the kitchen is
equally dangerous If it contains
salt, and as this is not generally
recognized it would be wise for
the house wives to be careful
what they feed their chickens
and place the dangerous scraps
where the birds cannot get at
them.

FARMS BEING

Country East OF Town Coming Under
~
The PscW This Year.

The country east of this village is ! ow
the center of operation for the farm move
ment and farm houses are beginning to dot
the land scape in this section. During II e
past summer F. J. LaPointe started impre v
ing his eighty laying in this district by
building neat farm house and clearing ard
putting under the plow 20 acres of his eighty.
The only draw back to this proposition is
roads. The present roads are practically
impossible. The writer of this article visit
ed this country early in the week and in
places had to pass swamp and muddy roads
on pole trails road made by the party that
started farming. This is "a great induce
ment for Indian farmer to improve their
lands. build their own roads from their in
dividual money. Surely Congress will see
that the $4,000 road appropriation will
become reality as it is needed in the
erection of roads on this reservation

"Not only in Minnesota, will the
treaty be enforced but in other parts
OF the United States as we'll" We
are positive that the territory
in our part of the United States is included
and that time is short when action will be
taken that will "oust'' the entire saloon
forces from this prohibited territory and
that order will also be issued by the Hon.
Cato Sells and executed by Henry o. Lar
son, Chief Special Officer and his deputies
who have done such gallant work in North
ern Minnesota. Of course the same cry
as at Hibbng will be raised, ut can't be
done, the treaty does not effect us. We
