Far amid the spicy, pine-clad uplands;
Oh, what a wonderous ride!
UP where the pure, health-laden

Most of the information which Mr..

LIBRARY TO BE HER MEMORIAL
Miss Flood Will Have Also Bronze
Tablet at Benton School.

The bronze tablet and the children S
library which are to be memorials TO
Miss Sallie Flood will be placed in
the Benton School as soon as the
details can be arranged by the Ben
ton School Mothers Club.
At a meeting held in the Com
mercial Club rooms, the money which
had been collected was turned over to
the mothers club with instruction to
use it to erect a bronze tablet in the
school-room where Miss Flood taught,
and to found a children's library to
be known as The Sallie Flood Lii
brary."
There is at present about $50 in this
fund but there is much more promised
in subscriptions, which will be col
lectea at once by the mothers club,
assisted by a committee appointed for
that purpose.
The fostering of the library will be-
come one of the regular activities OF
the club.
Miss Flood, who died July >, 1915,
was Columbia's oldest teacher. She
taught twenty-seven years in the Co.
Iumbia public schools, including nine
teen years in the Benton School. She
numbered her former pupils by the
hundreds, and persons from many
parts of the county subscribed to the
memorial fund.

MINERALS NECESSARY
IN DAILY MENU NOW
Calcium, Iron and Phosphor-
Gus Needed, Especially
During Spring Months.
SPINACH A BIG HELP
LentilS, Beans, Oatmeal or
Dried or Canned Fruits
Build Strength.

This is the time when our bOdie:
are most liable to suffer from a lacl
of minerals in the diet. Few greer
vegetables or fresh fruits are avail
able. so the menu consists largely OF
bread. potatoes, pies and meats, which
are lacking in the essential mineral
these that makes us so eager for fresh
green vegetables in the spring. after
we have lived all winter on such a
diet as the foregoing.
The average person does not realize
the important functions of the mineral
elements in our bodies. They regulate
the body processes; give rigidity and
permanence TO the bones; maintain
neutrality of the blood and the diges-
tive juices. and influence the elasticity
and irritability of the nerves and mus
cles
Calcium, phosphorus and iron are
the most important, and must be
closely looked after. If these are sup
piled, the others are usually present
in sufficient amounts.
Iron is a necessary constituent of
the blood and can be furnished by
such foods as lentils, beans, spinach
and oatmeal. Calcium, which makes
up large part of the teeth and bones,
is most abundant in milk, cereals and
vegetables. Phosphorus is found in
every living cell of the body and is
supplied by such foods as eggs, cere-
ais, nuts and meats.
The use of vegetables to furnish the
mineral content of our meals Is I'M
portant. Dried fruits, canned vege-
tables, celery, satisfy and spinach
should be used TO balance the family
dietary. They are cheap and easily
prepared and can be made appetizing
and delicious in preparing yege-
tables that have been canned, the
water must not be thrown away, as
this always contains the most OF the
soluble mineral matter. We often
make this mistake, as many have the
idea that some preservative that has
been used is poisonous if the water
is retained.
Spinach is rich in iron and has a
decided basic effect in the digestive
juices, so it should be used a great
deal more than it is. A little careful
thought on the part OF the housewife
will enable her to balance her meals
SO the mineral side will not be neg
lected. y. ID.

DROP IN WHEAT-GRAIN
STILL LOWER.

Another pronounced drop in wheat
and a smaller decline in other
grains are reported in today's des-
patches from Minneapolis. Follow
ing a reduction of 10 cents a bushel
on the Minneapolis exchange last
Wednesday, the market yesterday
held steady. The opening today
found that prices had dropped with
a thud, the offerings being four cents
a bushel lower than yesterday. There
was a still further drop before the
close of the market.
Since the break early this week
wheat has dropped 20 cents a bushel,
corn about five cents and oats about
six cents. Today's close was as foi-
lows: December wheat. $3.50; corn,
S3 to S5 cents; oats "A IL cents.

Grain dealers report that the

feet on growers in this section. 1t is
pointed out that there is very little
wheat in the district. Provided
there is not al early upward trend
