TOR several weeks during the Fl
II Paso county campaign. I noticed
- quite a controversy going on be-
tween the candidates about the sun
flower potato or tuber which is be-
ing propagated at the FL Paso poor
farm on the experiment ground set
apart to test out new plants. grains
ard sorghums that are adapted for Ell
Paso county.
For the benefit or those who ridi-
culed the idea of sunflower producing
I tubers or potatoes. and the farmers in
Fl Paso county. the writer will give
some Information about this plant.
Yield Is Enormous.
The yield, I find. is somethingg enor-
nous and the ones l have produced
will yield on good ground more than
500 bushels TO the acre and 1 believe
1000 bushels to the acre can be pro-
duced by proper cultivation and fer
tilization- I find that the plant is alb
solutely hardy and no amount of heat
or cold will injure il in the least
I believe that il will thrive anywhere,
in any good soil such as we have in
our valley and with almost any kind
OF climate.

to say upon the food value of raisins:
Fresh ripe grapes, dried in the sun
until the sugar is crystallized, make
the delicious raisin the queen of all
dried fruits, and the California raisin
leads all the rest.
Raisins are the reason for mince
pies and plum puddings, but they are
more than that, they are a very real
food The "push" in the ra:sin is SUI

energy PRODUCER win more than equal
a pound of beef or five pounds of fish,
two pounds OF eggs. four pounds Of
potatoes. two quarts Of milk, half
peck Of apples or dozen bananas.
The sugar in the raisin is real grape
sugar, the most easily assimilated Of
all sugars that enter the human
stomach. Oils and fats have more
heat and energy producing qualities
to the pound than the grape sugar in
raisins, but while the system is
thinking it over. struggling to turn

ACID ST0MACHS
ARE DANGEROUS


Acid stomachs are dangerous BE-
cause acid initiates and inflames the
delicate lining OF the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action Of the stomach. and leading to
probably nine-tenths of the cases Of
stomach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and me-
dicinal treatments are useless In such
cases. for they leave the source Of
the trouble. the acid in the stomach,
as dangerous as ever. The acid must
be neutralized and its formation pre-
vented, and the best thing for this
purpose is teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia. q simple antacid. taken IN q
little warm or cold water after eating,
which not only nentralizes the acid,
but also prevents the fermentation
from which acidity is developed.
