BROWN RICE VERSUS WHITE RICE.
wei you kindly captain to me briefly
ths difference in the nutrittve v9lae OF
MRS. H. Il. S.
White rice or polished rice has lost
about two-thirds OF Its minera! matter
and little over | per cent OF its pro-
teids. AS natural mineral matter IL a
vital and essential element in all grains
preference should always be given to
the brown variety Of rice.
MUSTARD.
II il true that cornmeul Is used as

sold is from 46 to so per cent cora

The common adniNture 10 adulterated

A visit to the warehouse where the
apples from this immediate vicinity are
being loaded revealed the fact that %
straight cars have gone out at this
time. To this must be added the local
shipments which amount to approx
mately five cars. Mr.. Stephens, the
inspector at this point, estimates that
ten cars more remain to be shipt out.

have gone to Australia, some to Europe,
and the largest part to the eastern mar

ANOTHER OLD-TIMER
GONE TO Ills REWARD
A. T. Dickinson Came to This Valley in
889-Died tuesday at the
Ripe Age of Eighty

Uncle Dick, as he was familiarly
known, was born in New York state
and came west by way of the Panama
route in 1856. He followed the gold
rush to California and for years followed
mining and trapping. In 1889 he
came to the Wenatchee valley and set
tied on a homestead in the Beaver
creek valley, ten miles from Leaven-
worth. He lived on his homestead
until 1907, when he sold his place and
has since made his home in Leaven
worth. He was never married. On
the ranch, like so many of the old
timers, he lived alone. He bought a
home here at the east end of Front
street, from which he was buried Wed
nesday afternoon at 3 O'Clock, in the
Leavenworth cemetery. OF him it may
truthfully be said he never had an enc
my. He was known, loved and re-
spected by everybody. He was very
fond OF flowers, OF which he had yard
full. spending much of his time taking
care of them. His place was great
resort for children, of whom he was
very fond. On the 21st of last March
he celebrated his eightieth birthday in
a quiet way by keeping open house and
dispensing refreshments to all callers.
Among other old-timers who had been
advised OF his death by wire was Charley
Gibbs, who now lives in Seattle, and
came here to attend the funeral.
Peace to his ashes.

THE COOPERATIVE CREAMERY
OUTPUT OF BUTTER GROWING
The Creamery Has Proved Highly Salts
factory with the RanChers of the
Upper WenatChee Valley

A visit to the creamery yesterday re-
vealed that the institution is in a very
prosperous condition. For the month
of October the output of butter was
close to 5000 pounds. The butter
milk sales amounted to over $50.
The Manager. Mr.. Van Brocklin, told
US that the ranchers, as they were get
ting acquainted with the way the insti-
tuition was being conducted, are well
pleased. They find it more satisfac-
tory to deliver their cream to the
creamery than make butter at home
and peddle the product out. 1t saves
lot of time and their returns are fully
up to their butter sales. The cream
deliveries are increasing and from the
number of inquiries for cows leads to
the conclusion that by spring the
cream deliveries may double. Mr.. Van
Brocklin also said he would be pleased
to have the housewives of Leavenworth
visit the creamery so that they may
know from personal inspection that the
butter they use is made under strictly
cleanly and sanitary conditions.

An Anti Enlistment League in the Shadow
of Navy Yard

An anti-enlistment league, pledging
all male members over 18 years Of age
to refrain from enlisting for any inter
national war in which the United States
may become involved, is forming at
81 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, N. Y,
not far from the Navy Yard, where
hundreds of United States Marines are
held in readiness to leave at a mo-
ment's notice for any part Of the world
where American interests are threat
ened.
And the Marines are all "het up"
over the matter, too. Telling it" to
them has its drawbacks, for, as John
nies on the spot" they form the first
line of the national defense, and they
cannot get the viewpoint of the peace
at-any-price propagandist who have es-
tablished headquarters close by.
THE United States Marine Corps is
up to maximum strength this minute
and is ready to a man for anything that
NAV arise" said a grizzled old gunnery
sergeant when told the news. Let
'em strike, the home enemy or the
foreign kind, and they'll always find
the Marines able to give good ac'
count of themselves. We sometimes
need few men to fill our ranks, but
we've never yet had to call in the kind
OF male bipeds who wanted to know
who the enemy was before they en-
enlisted. The United States Marine
Corps is no place for a milksop, molly
coddle, or half-hearted man, for we're
always in the thick Of something or
other, and we like to have ticklish
lob to do. Look at Haiti. No, sir,
these anti enlistment people do not
realize what they are doing. They do
not realize that an adequate army and
navy is the surest protection against
war, and the stronger our armed forces
are the less likelihood there is OF sur
prise attack by an unscrupulous en-
emy. The United States Marine
Corps (which is neither army or navy),
has a scant ten thousand men with
which to hold the foe at bay in the
early stages OF an invasion. These
ten thousand are ready to man and
a button, but instead Of ten we should
be fifty thousand strong, to insure
against war and as means OF protec-
ton against an unjust aggression.
Perhaps if New York was bombarded
bv foreign fleet the headquarters OF
the anti-enlistment league would re-
move from 81 Quincy Street, Brooklyn,
to-to the Navy Yard, maybe. Stran-
ger things than that have happened.
