WHY ARE BOYS HUNGRY

We all know that they are, tina
they ought TO be, and that when the
are not there is something the matte
with them. And as man embrace
woman. so does boy include girl il
this general proposition. There /
Willie Bakers sister Jane, in Seven
teen" who spends her waking hour
eating bread and butter sprinkled will
sugar; and when she ventures abroad
on adventure bent, away from tn,
maternal base Of supplies, she never
fails to provide against the danger Of
starvation with a cracker or two in
her capacious pocket. For the matter
of that, Willie himself finds forgetful-
ness of his love pangs in the gratifca-
ton of his glorious boyish hunger.
Why bother about the why Of il p?
The danger Of under-nutrition That
is a matter of the past where food
is plentiful. Parents have learned the
wisdom of letting their children eat
all they want Of wholesome, simple
food. And what avails knowledge of
the why where the food itself is lack
ing? The destitute know well enough
when their children are underfed. And
their answer to the question is not
chemical but an economic one.
However, it has now been answered
with the aid of a respiration calori-
meter in a pathological laboratory.
The basal requirements of boys in
metabolism, we learn, are 25 per cent
above those of the adult. The 5000
Galleries of the daily diet Of active
American children are half again as
much as the number supposed to be
required by a farm laborer. Happy
boys. How one envies them their ca
pacity! Do not let us spoil it for them
by telling them the why of their
craftsmanship. 1t would
be very much like the confusion of the
centipede when it was asked which leg
it moved first.
Every mother knows that bread,
butter, milk and sugar supply the
greater part of a child's nutritive re-
quirements. She knows it, even
though she has never heard of calor-
les, and regards the respiration calor-
meter with suspicion. She had her
practical answer to the question ready |

Why is Willie always hungry? Be-

Nobody ever thinks of going to the
coal dealer and asking him to send a
little coal up to the church or lodge
room to heat up the building for a
meeting or entertainment. Nor does
one ask the ice cream man to donate
ice cream nor does one suggest the
electric light company furnishing
lights for the occasion.
But people often express surprise
and resentment if the newspaper man
asks remuneration for an advertise
ing notice relative to aforesaid meet
ing or entertainment. II the coal
dealer or ice cream man, or electric
light. company should voluntarily do
nate said coal, ice cream or lights, the
recipient thereof would be exceedingly
grateful, and would probably instruct
the newspaper man to run free
notice telling the public all about the
generosity of aforesaid coal dealer or
electric light company. But nobody
runs notice eulogizing the generos-
ity of the newspaper man. For free

notice brand, which by the way is the
most expensive in time and labor, is
taken for granted as the natural gift.

Michigan Moose for Wilson.

The turning over Of the Michigan
Progressive party to Woodrow Wilson
by formal resolution of Michigan
Moose leaders, including Charles f,
Hoffman, who was chairman Of the
speakers bureau Of the National Pro-
gressive party and secretary of the
Michigan state central committee in
1912, chairman of the Michigan CEN
trail committee Of the National Pro-
gressive party, is considered the fore
runner of similar action in other
states.
The resolution, which was passed at
an enthusiastic meeting at the Hotel
Statler in Detroit attended by dele
gates from all over Michigan who paid
their own expenses, concludes with the
following significant words:

HOW JAMESTON WAS NAMED

October 13, 1916.
Editor, The Idaho Republican,

Editor, The Idaho Republican,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear Sir: 1t was observed in a
recent issue of your paper that you
were at loss as to the origin of
the name of the "Jameston" pre-
cinct. For your information and that
of your readers let me give the origin
of the name:
At the time of my moving to
Blackfoot in 1907 the present Taylor
and Jameston wards were united as
one ward known as the Taylor ward.
Shortly after my arrival it was de-
cided to organize a new ward from
the west half of the Taylor ward At
the appointed time two of. the
apostles of the church, together with
myself and one or two others of the
authorities of the Blackfoot stake
drove to Taylor ward at the close of
our stake conference. | happened
to be in the same conveyance with
the apostles and as we drove along,
the question of name for the pro-
posed new ward was discussed and
one of the apostles suggested that
in some way the name be named for
me anu Tic udLu6 JdHeSLOWu WdS
suggested. In return | suggested
that the name "JamestOn" would be
more distinctive as there were other
towns named jamestown" My sug-
gestion caught the fancy of the
apostles at once and when the time
came in the meeting to present the
new name the apostle who was speak
ing suggested the name "Jameston"
with the explanation that it was
taken from my first name The
choice was unanimously approved by
the people and was formally given to
the new ward at that time, hence the
name "Jameston. The name of the
ward became the name of the pre-
cinct.
Sincerely,
JAMES DUCKWORTH.
