Forty Cents a Day.

If the Chicago health commissioner
really wishes to know whether persons
can subsist on 40 cents worth of food
per dav per head, there are plenty OF
good, healthy persons who can supply
him with the information. Food sells
desperately high, it may sell higher In
Chicago than in New York, but praise
be. 40 cents day will still buy the
means to keep body and soul together
and indeed TO make the two think eaeh
other bully good company.
Starving for science, as II is beng
practiced in the diet laboratories OF Chi
cago, seems to us, judging by the bill oil
fare as quoted in news dispatches, one
of the least dreadful ways of serving hui
manitv which modern ingenuity has yet
devised The victims or voluntary devo.
tees are starved regularly three times
day. The morning starve the other day
consisted OF an apple, baked as hetits
that simple fruit, rolled oats-eyidently
more than one oat, as the plural signi-
fes-biscuit with that coveted and too
seldom seen object of the table bosrder 5
eupidity, butter, and coffee. The second
famine of the same busy day comprised
a soup of the not wholly despicable lima
bean. a meat dish appetizingly reveliing
in the aliterative beefiness Of the name

dessert and tea The third and final

ton, merely remarking that the victims
had nothing further to stay their stom-

to harrow New Workers feelings, nor yet
to seem to take Chicago's dietic heroics

with the american standard Of living
If Chicago has started upon serious
search for this mystic thing she will meet

The death list from football in the
United States during the 1916 season was
entirely too large, even at ID killed. That
is, it is too large for a sport which is the
development of civilization rather than
of barbarism. That all but one of the
deaths for the season were to be found
outside of the ranks of the colleges indi-
Gates that the game under competent SUI
pervision need not be the dealing
agency that it now seems to be. Four
teen of the deaths occurred in the ranks
of schoolboy athletes or among those
who play the game only now and then
and without much regard to set rules OF
training. The so-called professional
games were the chief producers Of casual
ties. Those games are participated in by
players who are their own judges OF
physical condition and ability to with
stand the hard knocks OF the games. 1t
is no wonder that the football casualties
are large.

Perhaps the reason why the Germans
are deporting so many Belgians from the

Canker Situation in Critical Stage

The most critical point in any
campaign is just when conrtol is
promised. People become assur-
ed after their first panic, and
their interest begins to wane.
They are content to allow some
one else to do the work and their
attention relaxes. Now that pro-
gress is being made in the citrus
canker campaign, there is evidence
of this same relaxing of interest.
The fight must be just as rigidly
waged from now until the last
canker organism in the state is
dead, as it was in the beginning.
1t would only take a few weeks
or months at least to allow the dis.
ease to reach the point where it
was two years ago.
The afternoon and evening of
October IS has been given over to
citrus canker discussions at Cit

says, " thai the protein content
is more than twice as great as that
customarily found in stone fruits.
The rbonhydrates are exceedC
ly low, while the mineral matter
is much greater than found in any
other fresh fruit. While the nu-
tritive value of the ash content
depends upon the percentage Of
potassium, calcium, phosphoric
acid, iron etc, it is significant that
the ash percentage of the avocado
is greater than that determined
for apples, grapes, blackberries,
oranges, pears and plums.
"The striking characteristic,
however, is the fat content. An
average of POI per cent carries
its fat value above the average
of the commonly used olive. Most
fruits possess low caloric values,
ranging from IT'S calories to pos
sibly 400 calories per pound. The
average of twenty-siX varieties of
avocadoes gave a value of 384
calOries per pound or more than
twice the maximum noted for 9TH
er fruits. When it is realized
that the energy of a pound of SUI
gar is 1920 calories, while that of
lean meat is slightly less than l.
900 calories, it is obvious that the
available food energy of the av-
ocado is unusually high"

Rust Mites Lower Fruit Grades

Recent market demands have
indicated plainly the course of the
citrus grower who is to receive
top prices for. his fruit. He must
produce the kind of fruit that the
market demands. Those de-
mands are discriminating more
and more against marked or low
grade fruit. People want bright
fruit and buyers are refusing to
take any other as long as the
bright is available.
Rust mites produce a great deal
of low grade fruit by russetlng
and by reducing the size. They
also damage the trees. The cost
of protection will rapidly be re-
paid many fold, and no grower
can afford to leave the mites un-
checked.
J. r. Watson, entomologist to
the University of Florida Expert
ment Station, recommends spray
ing with lime-sulphur as theNbest
remedy. Use one gallon of the
commercial lime-sulphur to 60 or
70 gallons of water. This mater
ial has proved more effective than
the soluble sulphur.
The oil sprays are also used
but they are not as good as the
lime-sulphur. Soluble sulfur may
may be used one pound to SO gal
Ions of oil emulsion. Dry sulfur
is also recommended to be busted
into the trees. 1t will give quick
relief, but it probably is not thoro
enough for efficient control.

FAIR BUILDINGS BURN

The amphitheater of the Mt. YER
non fair was burned to the ground
last Wednesday about two o'clock.
The Mt. Vernon Signal says that one
report says there had been some crap
shooters in the building during the
forenoon and another report is that
some boys were playing in the build
ing. There is no question but that
it was set, either Intentionally or I'M
Intentionally. The building was not
insured for the reason that insurance
could not be had from any reputable
company. The Signal further says
that the loss of the building will not
in any way effect the future of the
Association Next year will see a
larger and much better building than
the one just burned. The loss is a
heavy blow to the Association but of
the 200 stockholders, there are
enought who are sufficiently inter-
ested to insure the erection of new
amphitheater in plenty of time for
the 1917 fair.
