the physical suffering which he has
undergone during the illness from
which he is now recovering has left
his intellect as bright and his inter
est in public affairs as keen as ever.

PRETTY FOOD is NEITHER
WHOLESOME NOR ECONOMICAL

If the war which our housewives
think they have begun upon kitchen
waste is ever to be anything more
than the sham battle which it now
suggests a few fundamental ideas
must be absorbed by the food buyer
and the food server, says Bailey Mil
lard, editor of Orchard and Farm.
We ought to be able to save small
part at least of that $700,000,000 an
nual kitchen loss of which Secretary
Houston of the department of agricul-
ture has complained, but are we actu-
ally doing it?
For example, it is no more incon-
sistent for a man with fifty-cent
cigar in his mouth to talk about econ
omy than it is for the frugal woman
of the house to serve at kig luncheon
a lot of sandwiches which all the
bread crusts carefully removed and
dumped into the garbage can. And yet
this is done every day right now in
a war time, though any food expert
would tell the housewife that she has
thrown away the best part of her
bread. the caramelized portion which
assists so nobly in digesting the flour
starch.
And while we are on the subject OF
bread let me remark that the highly
milled, finely bolted, beautifully
bleached flour that makes "the lovely
white Loaf to which the hOusekeepeI
cleaves no matter how wars may rage
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-05-29

is as a rule anything but economical
and would not be used anywhere to-
day if scientific food experts had their
way. These experts declare against
the lovely white loaf because it does
not contain half the nutriment that
is found in the whole wheat loaf. The
same thing is true of the beautifully
prepared corn meal, rice and other
highly milled products.
Recently at Stockton they had a
corn convention. 1t was a timely af-
fair, considering the fact that the
wheat crop of 1917 promises only 90
per cent of a normal yield, according
to government reports. A man in the
audience asked why it was so hard to
buy old-fashioned corn meal nova
days A miller replied that it was
rarely made because the trade-mean-
ing of course the housewives who are
the ultimate buyers-insisted upon a
light-colored meal, in other words, a
meal with the germ part of the kernal
left out. The germ, the miller eX-
planned was very dark and it would
darken the meal if left in it. He adj
mitted that the germ was what rats
and mice ate, leaving the rest. But
human beings reject those vital ele-
ments of nutrition and they are not
found in the lovely corn meal de-
manded by housewives.

With rice it is the same story. Beau

We cannot too often repeat or re-
read the words of the president. when,
referring to the registration under the
universal service law, he says, June
fifth will be a day of patriotic devo-
ton and obligation, when the duty
shall lie upon every man, whether he
IS himself to be registered or not, to
see to it that the name of every male
person of the designated ages is writ
ten on these lists of honor. 1t is
not an army that we must shape and
train for war, it is a nation. To this
end our people must draw close in one
compact front against common foe.
But this cannot be if each man pur-
sues a private purpose. All must
pursue one purpose. The whole
nation must be a team in which each
man shall play the part for which he
is best fitted"

OBITUARY.

Ernest A. Campbell, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. r. Campbell, was born at
Plover, Iowa, August IS, 1889. Died |
at Twin Falls, Idaho, Sunday even
ing, May 10, 1917. His age being 2S
years, months, and % days At |
about the age of twelve years, with his
parents he removed to Oklahoma,
where they resided about one and one
half years when they came to Idaho,
coming directly to Twin Falls county
and settled upon the present home,
where he has since resided with his
parents.
He graduated from the Twin Falls
high school with the class of 1913.
From his childhood he has been re-
| ligiously inclined. He scarcely knew
the day when he was not in Sunday
school. During his boyhOOd in Iowa
it was his custom of attending Sun
day school in the forenoon at the
Methodist church, and in the after
noon at the Presbyterian church.
He was received into the member
ship of the Methodist Episcopal church
at Kimberly, Idaho, under the pastor
ate of Rev. Geo. r. Archer, March z,
/ 1909
Before his church had organized
! their own Sunday school, he was iden-
titled with the union Sunday school in
various official ways. For two years
he has served, with great acceptable
/ ity, as president of the EpwOrth
/ league. During these two years under
his efficient leadership this society
! grew from a membership of 80 to
over 100 Just a few days prior to his
death he was unanimously reelected

THE SERVICE OF THE VETERANS

For many years on the Memorial
day anniversary, May 80, the Veterans
of the Civil War have been preaching
patriotism. Many times their words
attracted little attention. 1t usually
proves very difficult to get a crowd
out to Memorial Day exercises. The
people are busy with their outings and
sports and will not give up an hour
for patriotic purpose.
The Memorial Day orator frequent
ly had to talk to audiences composed
of the families and intimate friends of
the veterans, and small boys drawn in
by the beat of the drums.
AS the veterans have grown old
and their numbers have diminished,
they have still kept up their patriotic
task in spite of the infirmities of age.
They have trudged around to the pub
lie schools to give talks, hoping to
stir patriotic feeling in young hearts
Sometimes the public may have seem
ed Indifferent, yet all this work has
had its effect Recent events have
proved that the old fire still burns.
Our people have finally cast aside
their ease and comfort, and have
pledged themselves to war that
means infinite sacrifices. 1t could
not have done this unless there aid
been ceaseless effort to keep alive
the American feeling.
This is a year when all exercises
held in behalf of the soldier dead
should be greeted with a great out
pouring of the people. An impressive
popular observance of Memorial Day
will arouse still further our feeling of
American pride, and our willingness
to labor and sacrifice for it. 1t is our
country that gives us our blessings,
and unless the country is safe and
secure, our whole future is unstable
and hazardous.
The pathetic remnant of remaining
veterans, both those who wore the
blue and gray, should be honored as
men who exemplified the spirit Of
sacrifice without which no country
can endure.
