WHY NOT TRY SOME
REAL COOPERATION ?
Clover Seed Can Be Bought More
CheapIy That Way.

(By VIM. A. Schoenfeld, Division of
Extension, University of Tennessee.)
Don't drive to town to buy your
clover seed in small lots. Arrange
with your neighbors to buy in large
quantities. Let each one who orders
deposit money with a local bank or
make arrangements with the banker
for a loan. When all the money for
the orders has been deposited in the
bank or provision made for the
amount of the order, then let one OF
your number act as buyer.
If you will look around in your
county or will ask your county agent,
you can frequently find men who have
excellent clover seed for sale. By
having the money in the bank the
seed can be bought at cash prices.
Because you and your neighbors go
together a considerable saving can
be made on account of the quantity
bought.

EAT GREEN VEGETABLES
AND FRESH FRUITS
Keep the Body Free From Acid Which
Causes Many Digestive Troubles
and Many Bad Teeth.

lBy Geneva Conway. Division of Ex-
tension, University Of Tennessee.)
Why is it that many persons eat too
much meat and heavy vegetables and
| forget about the green vegetables?
All starchy vegetables and cereals de-
velop acid in the system. Meats also
cause this acid condition. The green
vegetables and fruits form alkalies.
To keep the body IN good condition,
one must have considerable alkali in
the system to overcome the acid.
Green vegetables also contain large
quantities of water and a great deal
of roughage. The eating of green
vegetables and fruits serves to get
water into the system. Green vege-
tables and fruits act as brooms to the
stomach and to the intestines-sweeps
them clean.
1t is believed that pellagra, that
dread disease, is developed through
the diet that is rich in starch and
proteins. The use of vegetables and
fruits, eggs and milk, is recommended.
The use of much starch and fat is
not best
| Starchy vegetables are macaroni,
rice, hominy and potatoes. Potatoes
do not form an acid reaction-con-
trary to all rules. All cereals are in
cluded In this group.
The predigested foods do not bring
into play all the digestive juices of
the body and some object to this sort
of food. However, if one has poor
cook or a cook who does not know the
principle of preparing cereals, It's is
better to have these ready prepared
foods. They will not cause undue
exertion upon the body
1t is not a question of how much
food one eats, but how much and what
kinds are actually digested and form
ed into body tissue.
