Eat Plenty Of "Roughage. >
Or. Arthur r. Reynolds, in American
Magaziue)

Or. Arthur r. Reynolds, in American
Magazine
Roughage should form a part of ev-
cry meal and the quantity should be
sufficient to accomplish its purpose ;
naturally some people require more
than others. Its use should begin in
child life and continue to the end Of
old age
These elemental facts should be
drilled into the mind of every child un-
til they are understood. It is more
important item Of education than the
multiplication table, and one that is
wholly neglected. substantially, no one
grows to maturity with any actual
knowledge Of the functions Of the in
testincs or how they should be treated
The rule herein laid down, to eat rough
age and plenty OF il, VIII do the work
and Just as surely as the sun Will rise
in the morning it will improve the
complexion, improve the health, over

the basic cause Of bad complexion, as
we'll as Of other and innumcrable ills.

At tho home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. H. Black on last Sun
day evening at p. m. occurred the
marriage Of their daughter, Vena e.
dons, to Mr.. Chas. Augusre Fegan, of
Mora, Minn., in the presence of a
small company of guests and relatives.
As the hour arrived, Mrs. Eunice Black
at the piano played the wedding march
and the wedding party took their
place, Mr.. Cecil Black acting as best
man, and Miss Beatha Kuntz as brides
maid, and little Miss Clarice Black car
ried the wedding ring on tulip. Rev.
Will Kirwin, pastor of the Methodist
Church, performed the ceremony using
the beautiful ring service. A lap sup
per was served by the brides mother
assisted by Misses Addie 'Strawn and
Effie Sanborn. Mr.. and Mrs. Fegan
will make their home on q farm near
Mora, Mimi, where the groom is
prosperous farmer.

From copies of the Knoxville, Tenn,
Journal and Tribune, we learn that E.
Clyde Hammond is now associated as
tractor expert with the VIM. J. Oliver
Manufacturing Co. of Knoxville, which
is turning out the "Oliver Small Farm
Tractor" light caterpillar type of
tractor designed for universal farm
work and to be operated by one man.,
It has 2O-horse power engine, using
gasoline, kerosene or distillate COM
pound. With the demand for horses
and men occasioned by the war, trac-
tors of this kind will be in great de-
mand on the farms and logging camps
of the country and with the high repu-
tation of the Oliver products, Mr..
Hammond is doubtless associated with
what will eventuate into one of the big
farm machine factories of the country.

letter from Cresco's Naval Recruit.

| brooklyn, May ~, 1917
1T was my intention to wait little
longer before giving you the informa-
tlon that you wished in regard to navy
life, but as they are going to put on
strict censorship thought it better to
write now as am able to tell of things
now that could mt later.
/ The navy and navy life is a great
deal different than person would i'm
Eagine' if they had never seen any phase
of it.
The navy yard in itself covers a
large tract of land. The gate being
about J mile away from the docks.
|, The government has a railroad all its
own inside this yard keeping six en-
gines busy all the time.
There are three large interned liners
here namely, the Kaiser Wilhelm,
friedrich Der Gross, and Princess Irene.
The government have taken these and
are now using them as receiving ships.
There are 450 Russian sailors on the
Kaiser Wilhelm and strange as it may
seem these sailors are given prefer
ence to the U. S. sailor when it comes
to eating and handing out supplies.
This of course don't look very good to
the sailors here. There are approxi-
mately 5000 people fed every meal or
the Princess Irene.
The conditions here are something
that the outside world should know
about. As far as l am concerned
should be satisfied. The chief cook is
a friend of mine and get lots to eat
and have good place to sleep, but
this is more than l can say for the ma
jority.
At meal times the sailors fight for
what little they get. There is no sys-
TEN whateverh here. The motto seems
to be-Do what you can when you can
if you want to.
As far as work is concerned this is a
lazy mans life. but they cannot de.
Gently take care of more than half the
number of men that they are trying to
accommodate.
Iowa is furnishing the most recruits
for the navy. The east is far behind
the central western states when it
comes to delivering the goods. 4
l could tell of some very extreme
cases as the result of not being able to
equip the sailors but as this would fur
.nish ideas which may. not be only at
this place I will not mention them now.
Lam getting along fine and like it
here. Have good job, good pay and
a place to eat and sleep. only wish
could say this for all who have enlisted
here.
understand that number Of con-
gressmen (from the central states) are
trying to get them to improve the con-
dition here but by the time 1t goes
through congress most anything could
happen.
The navy don't need men, they have
no place for only those with trades so
l would advise anyone who thinks of
enlisting to wait until they are needed
unless they join the yeoman or elec-
trical class.
I certainly would be pleased to re-
ceive few lines or a card from any
one who would care to send the same
as this is somewhat of a lonesome
place. l don't expect to be here a
great while but mail consigned to the
address given will reach me o. K.
Twill try to tell you how things turn
out here if they don't put on the CEN
sorship too soon.
Sherman said War is He'll but I'd
rather 90 to--war then 60 through
what some of them here have to-.
