American Ideals May Prove to Be Cure

The Indignation Of people has taken place to
such extent that really what do is felt in parts
of the world widely separated from us, and indeed
may say, in all parts of the world, and so we ar"
deeply interested in the making Of peace in Europe
and ought, think, here in America, to begn now
to cultivate the thought of application OF our
national ideals Of the subject of peace in order that
when that peace comes to be made, the one great
neutral nation unengaged in the present controversy

Missouri State Corn Show VIII
Be Held During Farmers
Week.

NGhe
Now listen, if you really have
better corn than Bill Smith or
any of your neighbors, why not
send a sample to the Missouri
State Corn Show and settle the
question? You will have the
goods on him then and he will
have to back down. The Corn
Show is held to bring out the
best corn in the state and there
is no use in wrangling longer
over who can raise the best
corn. The Show will determine
that. 1t will also be advisable
to send exhibits of wheat, oats,
clover seed, cowpeas, soybeans,
timothy and alfalfa seed. The
Fourteenth Annual Corn Show
will be held at the University Of
Missouri, Columbia, during
Farmers Week, January l to 5,
1917.
This years show, in spite of
the severe season just past,
promises to be one of unusual in
terest and to bring forth grain
of unexpected quality. Many
sections of the state had their
corn crop cut short by the severe
drouth but from every section
come reports of some good corn
and small grain.
During Farmers Week more
than 1000 visitors will go to Col
umbia and see this great grain
show. Every exhibit of grain
will be labeled with the name
and address of the grower anC
most of the owners of this ex.
hibit material will attend. Thu
Corn Show is a recognized clear.
ing house for good seed. Pro.
ducers of good seed have founC
it an excellent place to display
their wares, and buyers can al
ways find the man who can fur
nish the seed they want.
This feature alone makes tn,
Corn Show a great educationa
institution and serves as an in
valuable aid to many farmers il
securing grain for use the com
ing year. There are other fea
lures which together with tn,
show make attendance at Colum
bia during this time the mos
profitable vacation any farme
can take.

MISSOURI M WILL
DISCUSS RURAL CREDITS
American and Foreign Experts
Are to Speak on Farm
Loans Farmers Week.


The reduction Of the interest
rates on farm loans and the
problem of rural credits will be
discussed by Missouri farmers
and by farm loan authorities of
the United States and foreign
countries at the annual Farm
ers' Week to be given under the
auspices of the College of Ag-
riculture and the State Board of
Agriculture January l to S, at
Columbia. The discussion win
deal largely with the benefits of
the new Federal Farm Loan Act.
Sir Horace Plunkett of Ireland,
who is one of the worlds great
est opponents of rural co-opera-
ton and credits and who is him
self a Missouri landowner, has
been asked to be one Of the
speakers of the week. Duncan
u. Fletcher, the senior senator
from Florida, who is familiar
with the workings of the new
act, has also been invited. Sena-
tor Fletcher is president Of the
Southern Commercial Congress
and was chairman of both of
the Federal commissions sent to
Europe to study rural co-opera-
ton and credits.
Frederick D. Gardner, govern
or-elect of the state and an adj
vocate of the state land bank
system, will probably be among
the well known authorities on
the program. S. D. Gromer, as
sistant professor of economics
in the College of Agriculture,
will give a series of lectures il

emily, we had very few exact
studies on its use, but now
scientific research has enabled us
to make more definite state
ments.
Tobacco contains one of the
most deadly known poisons-
nicotine. In doses of one-ff-
teenth of a grain nicotine will
produce death. In whatever
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1916-12-22

form the tobacco may be used,
either chewed or smoked, nico-
tine is absorbed. This is proven
by the fact that the smoker, who
is not accustomed to tobacco,
gives all symptoms of nicotine
poisoning. Tobacco varies in
the amount of nicotine contain
ed according to the soil in which
it is grown.
In smoking, cigarettes are prob
ably the most injurious form be-
cause Of their inconvenience and
cheapness. But chiefly because
most cigarette smokers inhale,
thus exposing a large surface of
the mouth and respiratory tract
for the absorption of nicotine.
The over-use of tobacco pro-
duces well marked disturbance
of the heart, palpitation, short
ness of breath, rapid and irregu-
lar pulse.
The effects on the nervous
system are headaches, dizziness,
tremor of the hands, lack of
energy and ambition, combined
with irritability and mental de-
preston. It also has a paralyz-
ing effect on certain special
nerves indicated by partial
blindness or deafness which may
become extreme if the use of to-
bacco is not stopped.
Studies made at Yale and Am
herst show that smokers are
stunted in height, weight and
chest measure as compared to
non-smokers. Many large en-
ployers, like Ford, Edison and
the Cadillac Company, are bar
ring cigarette smoking among
their employees.
Tobacco serves no necessary
useful purpose. 1t is invariably
harmful to young and growing
persons. 1t is injurious to
athletes. Trainers for all forms
of athletics bar the use of to-
bacco on the ground that it cuts
the wind. This has been shown tC

Only one-half as many smokers
as n~on-smokers are successful in

low scholarship. 1t is a drug
habit pure and simple, conducive
to idleness, waste of money anC
injury of body as well as Of

secret Of the Baked PotatO.

Secret of the Baked Potato.
Occasionally a restaurant or a
system of railroad dining cars
becomes famous for its baked
potatoes. At the San Fran
cisco exposition several college
girls operated an establishment
at which the baked potato was
the piece de resistance and cost
so cents. All these successes
have been based on a simple
little trick.
A potato should be larded be-
fore baked so as to fill up the
porous skin and retain the full
flavor. 1t is necessary to cover
only the skin with a little lard,
bacon grease or butter to ac-
complish the end.
A potato so treated and bak-
ed just the proper length of
time, usually three-quarters of
an hour, will surpass a potato
cooked in any other way. II
