BALANCED
RATIONS

Have you ever left the table so full
you could not eat another bite and
yet felt hungry? That is a sign that
the system has not been supplied with
certain elements needed to repair body
waste.
The bones and teeth are made up Of
minerals such as lime and phosphates,
found in green vegetables, fruits and
cereals. The muscles need nitrogen
which is furnished by meat or its sub
stitutes, beans, cheese, eggs. milk, nuts.
Carbohydrates, or starch and sugar,
Fats. supply heat. Potatoes, rice. hon.
my, maoaroni and tapioca are the
most common starchy foods, but as a
rule we eat too much Of this element.
Only a small amount Of sweets is nee
essary to the system for the starch In
carbohydrates is converted into sugar.
through the process of digestion. II
an over abundance is eaten it is stored
in the body in the form of fat. Fruits,
supply a great deal of sugar in the
most natural and healthful form.
To get the greatest good from vege-
tables they should be eaten row or else
carefully stewed in boiling water un-
til tender. then dressed with a little
butter, salt and pepper or delicate
cream sauce. Cabbage when eaten
raw or creamed is>one Of the easiest
of foods to digest. but boiled for hours,
with ham or fat meat, it is a most per-
nicious thing to put into the stomach.
Fruits are most beneficial to the
system when eaten raw. Cooking the
sugar with the fruit changes it's ma
ture and when eaten often causes fer
mentation Cook the fruit until ten
der, then, just before taking off the
fire, add the desired amount of SUI
gar, or, better STILL wait until cold
before adding it. This method takes
less sugar than when it is cooked with
the fruit, so it is a saving to the
larder as we'll as to the stomach.
Most cooks do not realize that dried
beans and peas, cheese, nuts and eggs.
have exactly the same dietetic value as
meat, composed as they are of pro-
tein, the element furnished by meat.
These other foods supply the same
need and at a lower cost and with
out some of the disorders which meat
eating often entails.
The ideal meal is made up Of one
heterogeneous food, one starchy, two
green vegetables ,one raw, the other
cooked without meat, and one sweet,
either fruit or made dessert.
In planning a. meal. select one ar
tic1e from each division:
Foods containing mineral salts Let
tuce, spinach, celery, tomatoes, cauli-
flower, cabbage, brussels sprouts.

APRIL FOOLS DAY.

You could never make the kid1ets
of former days think that April Fools
Day vas one of the minor occasions
of the year. They looked forward to
it as almost next to July Fourth. They
planned elaborate hoaxes,and conduct
ed the campaigns for the befoolment
of older and wiser heads. For once
in the year they felt abreast of the
grown-ups, being able thus to de-
ceive and make game of them.
Most women set out in the morning
to fool their husbands as the first
business of the day, and commonly
they succeeded. The newspa pers
printed elaborate accounts of tradi-
tional hoaxes, like placards attached
to peoples backs marked April Fool,
wool doughnuts fried in brown fat
looking exactly like the real thing.
etc. These schemes were beyond the
capacity of the children, who content
ed themselves with minor stunts like
calling attention to some imaginary
bird in the nearby tree.
The Ehumorists of every age have
their own methods, which change
from time to time. Practical Jokes
are not so common as they used to be-
Wit and humor becmes more refined
People with a humorous turn enioy
jo11ying others, matching wits and
poking fun at them. They like trip
ping>them up in conversation and re-
partee, rather. than making them
physically ridiculous
These modern forms Of humor are
more subtitle, and are often just as ir-
ritating to the sensitive victim. The
man who is slow of speech feels baf-
fled and helpless among the jokers Of
modern society. But fun making is
the spice of life. People who can't
take their part and accept joking on
themselves good naturally, are bound
to be as uncomfortable as the old
timer who had the placard stuck on
his back on the first day Of April.

CHOLERA MORBUS

This is a very painful and dan

neighborhood some one has died
from it before medicine could be
obtained or physician summoned.

County Division Knocked Out

Last Monday was the day set by
the Board of Supervisors for hear
ing the petition of the Wilcox peo-
pie for an election to determine
whether or not Cochise county
should be divided.
The petitions were in the hands
of Clerk A. C. Karger, and upon
being presented the question of
their legality at once arose. The
clerk having previously called upon
County Attorney J. F. Ross for his
opinion on the legal status, the
opinion having been filed, was
read and was to the effect that the
legal forms had not been complied
with.
After the opinion of the County
Attorney was given a protest was
entered by Hon. VIM. Riggs, of
Dos Cabezas, throug his attorney,
who protested on the grounds that
in two of the petitions some of the
sheets had not been sworn to, and
according to law were illegal, not
having been properly verified, and
were irregular.
Among those who appeared be-
fore the board from the proposed
new county as protestants against
the measure were several citizens
from Benson, namely, Messrs. H.
