railroad from Douglas county to tide
water on Coos Bay by the united inter
ests of all the large timber owning
companies is a project that is now un-
der consideration by the representa-
tives of several such companies The
plan includes the construction of a
main trunk line from probably Dillard
on the S. p. to Myrtle Point, with
branch logging roads to Olalla, up
Myrtle creek and from Riddle up the
South Umpqua into the Tiller district,
and cooperating over the line Of the
s. p. for the connecting links.

There are many varieties of pota-
toes. Tastes differ as to the most de-
sirable kind. In this country the white
potato, when light and dry, is pre-
ferred. 1t is especially suited for boil
ing, steaming and baking, also for
soups and purees. The yellow pota-
toes are more suitable for salads, rag
outs, hash and frying, because they
keep their shape when cooked. The
sweet potato makes a pleasant and
healthful addition to the table. 1t is
rich in starch and sugar and some
what laxative.
The white and yellow varieties con-
tain a large percentage of water, a
fair percentage of starch, very
small percentage of sugar and about
one per cent mineral matter. 1t is to
this mineral matter that the potato
owes it's antiscorbic properties.
Potatoes cooked in dry heat, as by
baking in the oven, roasting in ashes,
frying in deep fat, or steaming with
out peeling are more pronounced and
savory than when cooked in water.
But the vegetables so cooked must be
served just as soon as they are done.

Potatoes should cook in half an

partly peeled or unpeeled.
The potatoes should be covered

Today's Poem
EASY FARMING

EASY FARMING
He sat around the country store
When spring was in its prime,
And talked about the things he'd do
When he should find the time.
He told about the crops he'd plant,
And what would be the yield
Of corn and hay and other stuff
That grew upon each field.
But spring slipped out and summer
came,
And still he held his place
Upon nail-keg on the porch,
A smile upon his face.
He sat around the country store !
When summer days were fair;
The nail-keg wore his trousers thin
He snapped it for chair.
And there he sat and told them how
When fall should come he'd sow
By far the biggest crop of wheat
They'd ever seen him grow.
But summer went and fall came on,
The wind took on cutting edge,
And then he moved inside.
And there beside the stove he sat
When winter days were chill;
And listened to the idle chat,
But kept on farming still.
Each year he does the self-same
thing,
He does not plant or pillow,
But seems to take rare delight
In telling others how.
Outlines his neighbors scott at him.
He seems to think it fair
For still he sits around and does
His farming in chair.

The preliminary skirmish in Con-
gress between the vets and the drys
resulted in victory for the drys. The
Senate by vote of 35 to % adopted
the Gronna amendment to the Philip
pine bill prohibiting the manufacture
and sale Of intoxicating liquor in the
islands, with the exception of native
drinks. Many of the prohibition
Senator'S took occasion to denounce
the liquor traffic in scathing terms,
and the general attitude of the upper
house was such as to cause rejoicing
among temperance forces and dismay
among the pro-liquorites.

Alcohol and Pneumonia

. The United States Public Health
Service brands strong drink as the
most efficient ally of pneumonia. 1t
declares that alcohol is the hand
maiden of the diesase which produces
ten per cent of the deaths in the
United States. This is no exaggera-
ton. We have known for a long
time that indulgence in alcoholic IL
quors lowers the individual vitality,
and that the man who, drinks is pc
euliarly susceptible to pneumonia.
The United States Public Health Ser
vice is conservative body. 1t does
not engage in alarmist propaganda.
In following out the line of its of
fetal duties it has brought focefully
to the general public a fact which
will bear endless repetition. The
liberal and continuous user of al
coholic drinks will do well to heed
this warning, particularly at this
season of the year when the grue-
some death toll from pneumonia is
being doubled.

How to Run Your Fireless Cooker
Without Fussing

There are a number of things
which a housewife must keep care
fully in mind of she is to have sue
cess with her freless cooker and
make it save her time later and ex-
pense. One that if food is left in
definitely in the cooker it will sour.
Soups, stews, vegetables and such
things must be removed after twen-
ty-four hours and less in hot wealth
err.
Another thing is that some foods
require longer time on the fire be-
fore being put in the cooker than
others do. Cereals may require on
ly ten minutes and tough meat half
an hour. 1t is best to find out some
thing about the length Of time the
different things require. Generally
speaking, all indigestible things re-
ouire longer cooking than other
things. Oatmeal, beef stew, corn
ed beef and beans need more time
than steamed buildings, rice and
chicken.
A third thing that should never be
forgotten is this: Everything that
takes long time to cook is improv-
ed and the process FASTENED if when
the time is half up the pail is refhov-
ed and reheated without opening il
and put back again.
