MAN IS WORTH 1000 EGGS
Same Ingredients Are to Be Found In
Both-vaIued at $2.45 for H. 9,
Illuminating Purposes,

What Is Il man? How much Is he
worth from scientific viewpoint?
According to one way of looking at
1t man Is worth about $3.50 Il day
from his shoulders down and any
where from $4,000 to $1,00O,000
year from his shoulders up. This Is
said to be the estimate of the average
successful business man.
The scientist, however, looks at the
question from another angle. Accord
ing to him man is worth $2.45 for
Illuminating purposes, since man
weighing $50 pounds contains about
$500 cubic feet Of oxygen, hydrogen
and nitrogen in his constitution, which
ut 70 cents per 1000 cubic feet equals
the price above. Also a man contains
enough carbon to make 936O lead pen
ellis; enough phosphorus t make $780,
600 matches or enough + kill 800 per-
sons, and enough water to fill 49,
quart reservoir.
Furthermore, it makes no difference
how sour man may look he contains
about 60 Jumps Of sugar, great deal
of starch, chloride of potash, magnesi-
um, sulphur and hydrochloric acid in
his system. There are 80 grains Of
iron in the blood of an ordinary man,
enough to make one spike large enough
to hold his weight.
What is a man? This Is the some
what cynical answer Of one scientific
man:
"Break the shells of 1000 eggs into
huge pan or basin and you have in
gradients from which to form him
from his toenails to the most delicate

Annatto Production.

The shrubbery tree that yields an
natto is now extensively cultivated In
tropical America. The ripe capsules
are gathered by women and children,
the seeds extracted and boiled and the
liquid. after straining out the seeds,
allowed to ferment. The dye settles to
the bottom and is evaporated In pans
to the consistency of putty. Wrapped

The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe-
cially loves peace. Since the dawn of
history, the farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war. All that
he possesses lies out Of doors in plain
sight and is spoil of war-his house,
his grain, his livestock. The flames
that light the skies in the rear OF
every invading army are consuming
the things that yesterday represented
his life work, and the life labors Of
past generations of farmers.
Everywhere the farmer is a warrior
when war is the only thing which will
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the dwellers in the cities, because 1t
takes longer to send to the farms the
call to arms. 1t takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city dwellers from the shops. Many
do not hear the first blast Of the
trumpet. Others do not at first under
stand it's meaning because they have
not had the time to talk the matter
over with their acquaintances. Instead
of reading half dozen extras day,
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time In a
sudden emergency to make up his
mind.
1t Is impossible to set the farmers
of the United States on fire by means
of any sudden spark of rumor. But
when they do ignite, they burn with
a slow, hot fire which nothing can put
out. They are sometimes the last to
heat up; but they stay hot. In a long
fight they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across No-Man's
Land in the last grim struggle. The
American farmer will give all that he
has and all that he is to win this
great war against war.
This war was at first hard to under
stand. No armed foe had invaded the
United States. The night skies were
not Redeemed by burning ricks and
farm houses. No raiding parties
robbed us Of our cattle or horses. No
sa,ber-rattlers insulted our women. It
seemed to many of US that we were
not at war-the thing was so far on.
We did not realize what a giant war
had become-a monster with q thou
sand arms that could reach across the
seas and take from us three-fourths of
everything we grew. But finally We
saw that It was so.
II the Imperial German government
had made and enforced an order that
no American farmer should leave his

which we rebelled when we went IN
to this war? Look at the condition a

and see
When the war broke out, through
surprise and panic we partially gave

highway. And the farmers Of
America faced ruin. know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop Of 2S,-
900 bushels of wheat for seventy cents
a bushel. Farmers in the south sold
their cotton for half the cost of pro
duci1g 1t. All this time those por-
tions of the world whose ports were
open were ready to pay almost any
price for our products. When finally
we set our ships Id motion once more.
prosperity returned to the farms. But
1t never returned for the farmers Of
those nations which remained cut OF
from ocean traffic.
Take the case of Australia. There
three crops have remained unsold on
the farms. No ships could be spared
to make the long voyage to Australia.
So In spite Of the efforts of the Gov
ernment to save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted in the open.
Millions of tons have been lost for
lack of market.
Such conditions spell irretrfevabie
disaster. Such conditions would have
prevailed In this country from the out
break Of the war until now II our
Government had not first resisted with
every diplomatic weapon, and finally
drawn the sword
Why did we draw the sword? To
keep up the price Of wheat and cot

someone should order you to remain
on your farm, and not to use the pub
lie highways, would your resistance
be based only on tho fear Of loss in
profits from failure to market your
crops? BY no means! You would
fight to the last gasp! Not to make
money, but to be free!
