If bought or stored In season, cost
less than many other articles Of diet.
These vegetables carry large amount
of water, 10 to 80 per cent, and from
10 to 80 per cent Of solids. AS there

Of mineral salts In them, and the
woody fiber which they contain make
them an important food. When used
with other foods rich In protein the
tubers and roots supply large amount
of fuel for the body's needs. The
coarse, woody fiber, though undigested
itself, holds other foods, so that the
digestive juices have better action

food were in solid mass.
The mineral salts in vegetables are

Of the body; they also assist In the

WHY WE LEeisLATE.

'People say that you can't make peo-
pie good by legislation" said DR..
Charles r. Aked in one Of his logical
and telling speeches in the California
dry campaign. "We don't expect to
make people good by legislation. We
shall be satisfied If we can prevent the
other fellow from making them bad.
The thing for us to do when we have
reached final conviction is to translate
that conviction into legislation. We
must build our conviction into the
massive masonry of legislation for fus
iure generations"
