WHEAT SAVING in TINE HOME

On Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the
library auditorium there will be
two sessions on Wheat Saving in
the Home. The morning session
will commence at 9 q. m. and the
afternoon at 2 p. m. The ladies
of Missouri Valley and surround
ing country should make a spe-
cial effort to come out to these
meetings, as economy in wheat
means much in winning the war
for the allied nations. Miss Pearl
Greene of Ames agricultural col
lege will conduct the meetings,
The lessons are free to all and
there will be number of differ
ent methods in using wheat with
other cereals. Every lady should
avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity. The purpose of the meet
ing is:
(1) To meet the government
request that 25 per cent Of the
present consumption of wheat be
replaced with other cereals and
thus help to relieve the worlds
i shortage.
~ To encourage the use of
other foodstuffs which may in
part be substituted for wheat.
~ To work with food con-
servation clubs and other organ
izations to further wheat con-
servation.

In "The Honor System.n

In his new photoplay, "The
Honor System William Fox is
said to have accomplished purely
as an incident the most valuable
reproduction Of western life that
the camera has yet given. For
the first time in the history of
the screen it is certain that the
future historian of this country
will turn from the wonderful word
paintings Of Bret Harte and O.
Henry to the scenes depicted in
this master drama.
In realism Frederic Remington

Under date Of Sept. ~, 1917,
President Wilson issued an order
providing that an individual, who
believes that the local or district
exemption board has enormously
interpreted the law, and that he
is thereby wrongfully held to mil
itary service, may ask the govern
or to direct the local or district
board to reopen his case. IL the
governor is satisfied, after exam
lining the statements and affi-
davits filed by the claimant, that
the law was misinterpreted in the
case, he may direct the local or
district board to reopen said
case and in connection with this
order must show the board
wherein the law was enormously
interpreted.
In order to facilitate this work
and give each case the attention
it deserves, Governor Harding
has engaged John Fletcher, for
mer assistant attorney general,
to represent him through the Ad-
jutant Generals office in inves-
tigating these claims. Mr..
Fletcher will gather evidence in
cases where an appeal is made
for re-opening and pass upon
the legality of the action of the
board or boards having jurisdic-
ton over the cases wherein such
claims are filed.
The employment Of legal coun-
sci in this work is made neces-
sary by the great number OF
claims that are being filed in the
governors office. Every case
that is presented to the governor
should be filed in writing, as the
volume is so great that otherwise
the claims cannot receive the at
tention they merit. The object OF
this new ruling is to work uni
formity throughout the state anG
nation. 1t is not inaugurated in
the spirit of criticism Of the worl
done by local OF district boards
but rather to aid them and brine
about an equitable operation Of
the CONSUMPTION law Throughout,
the entire country.

SOLDIERS AND GAIL 0Ro

The U. s. government has
asked the American Library as
ISOLATION to assume responsible
ity for supplying the camps and
environments with reading ma
terial. Every group Of soldiers,
both large and small, is to have
books. The public library in this
city has been asked to get dona-
tons of books and magazines in
Missouri Valley. These will be
sent to the various camps and
cantonments throughout the
country and will be made avail
able to the soldiers and sailors
through camp libraries, the chap
lains Of the army and navy, the Y.
M. c. A., the Knights of Column
bus, and every other welfare
agency at work in the camps. If
you write in each book OF maya
zine your name and address, the
soldier who reads it will know
that someone in Missouri Valley
Is his friend and stands ready to
help him.
The following is suggested as
to books and magazines desired:
Poorly printed, uninteresting,
obviously out of date books are
not worth shipping to the men.
Type should be good and clear
and books in fair condition.
Books of good stories will be
wanted most. books of adventure.
sea stories, detective stories, his
torical novels and humorous
tales. can especially recon-
mend such authors as Kipling,
Conan Doyle, McCutcheon, O.
Henry, stockton, Brindloss, Tark-
ingtoH, .Hopkinson Smith, Open
helm, Zane Grey, Churchill, Page,
Wright and Nicholson. Good po-
etry and drama can also be util-
lied. All the men must be helped
by these books. Some of them
have not established reading hab-
its. Some Of he books must
therefore be light and easily
read. Foreign language books
are also much needed, especially
French grammars and dictionar-
les. Books of travel, biography
and history are wanted. Tech
micah books on aviation, wireless.
telegraphy, automobiles, first aid
and hygiene.
Fresh attractive magazines are
also desired, such as American,
Century, Harper's, Everybody's,
Popular Mechanics, Popular
Science Monthly, Scientific Am
erican, Life, Puck, Judge, Satur-
day Evening Post, and any other
goodsmagazines, either weekly or
monthly. None over two years
old should be included.
This material is needed at
once. Why not select today the
material which you are willing to
give? Do not give worthless, I'M
attractive books, but some fresh,
interesting, good ones.
Send the books and magazines
to the public library between the
hours of 2 to S p. m. and Z to 9
p. m. on any week day.
Do your bit by providing read
ing matter for our soldiers and
sailors. Hugh j. Tamisiea.
Librarian.

WARNS WAR DIETS
MUST BE VARIED
DR.. Dixon Repeats Axiom One
Mans Meat Is An

HARRISBURG. Dec. II.

HARRISBURG, Dec. II.
Food administrators should be liberal
enough in their regulations of the food
stuffs OF communities 20 meet the physi-
cal characteristics Of the Individual, be-
cause all persons cannot thrive on diet
which may appear suitable. declares DR..
Samuel q. Dixon, State Commissioner of
Health, in "A weekend health talk in
which he remarks that the people of
Pennsylvania eat too many potatoes. and
the foods which are to be recommended
should be considered from laboratory
standpoint. taking into account the fact
that what Is one mans meat is another
mans poison.
Doctor Dixon's talk on the subject OF
war, health and diet follows:
"Most of our foodstuffs are made up
of different constituents. a potato Is
largely composed of starch. whereas
bccfstcak is largclycom posed of nitro
gen or protein. Starch represents so
many hcat-producing units and beef
steak likewise produces Its own quota.
"This is 40 when you consider the
matter from Il laboratory standpoint,
but II you make a test of the same values
by feeding these foods to human beings.
you would find the values varied greatly
or organic machinery which handles
them. starch. for instance, IN the cases
of some individuals, passes through the
digestive system without the body as
similating IL and obtaining the addition
of its heat units. In the cases OF other
individuals. the same thing would hap
pen with becfStcak.
"Thc people of tho state OF Pcnnsyl-
Nauia cat too many potatoes. The large
proportion of starch in the composition
of this vegetable produces n catarrha,
condition of the digestive tract which
interferes with digestion and leaves the
patient insufliccntly nourished. eventu'
ally over n long series of years produc.
ing starvation.
"Meat, as Il rulc, is also ovcreaten'
hy pcnnsylvanianS. Just now, however,
during the tension of war we need more
meat than usual"
