Such publications do much insidious
harm among a large number Of the
population. Anyone who has received
unsolicited copies will he doing the

! them of the fact and turning in the
copies received. The two copies on hand
were turned over to the local pOstofffre
for investigation.
Goat Meat Urged
DIR. James R. Judd spoke to the corps
advocating wider use of goat meat
IN Hawaii, calling attention to an arti
Gle in the Pan American Magazine
which tells of the failure of Americans
to develop this source Of supply on ae
count Of prejudice. Doctor Judd said
it should be entirely feasible to raise
| kHrge number of goats here and to
use the young ones as n cheap substi
tute .or beef. This would mean much
to the poorer classes, some of whom
have even been forced to buy "aog
meat, or small scraps of beef and
mutton, from the butcher for their own
consumption. Butchers now no longer
sell "dog meat, and some Of these
people get no meat at all. Goat meat
might solve this problem.
If lpboring men cut down on beef,
they must find suitable substitute,
said II, B. PenhallOw of Maui, who was
visitor ut the luncheon.
He said that one of the present prob
lens was to secure q feasible wheat
substitute for use in the field bread
of the laborers. He is working on the
question from the viewpoint of economy
and suitability.
Pair is Approved
The executive committee of the corps
went on record as heartily approving
the project of a territorial fair in June.
Doctor Judd told Of fair of that sort
held in France within sound of the
guns. He said that a fair Of the right
kind ought to be held at the present
time, as a stabilizer of conditions and q
means Of showing what the resources of
the Territory were.
Corn flour is recommen ended as much
better for general use than cornmeal.

This years crop of corn in the Ter
ritOry available for human consumption
viii be 1878 tons, which is twenty per
cent of last years importatiOns Of
wheat flour. The amount of corn i'm
posted last year was 1916 tons. Owing
to the greatly increased production, the
Parker Ranch alone having placed 1000
acres of corn, it will not be necessary
to import corn in the future.
About Corn
The report quotes the following
words of the chief chemist of one of
the largest flour mill synhicatcs on
the mainland:
"Corn is Americas most plentiful
cereal. The 1917 crop will equal thirty
bushels Of corn or 1850 pounds for
every man, woman and child in the
United States. 1t has been the prin-
cipal cereal food for the poorer people
| in the Middle West and the Southern
States for many years past. Corn bread
made with baking powder or with soda
and sour milk, is so well known that
further mention need not be made.
"Corn also makes delicious muffi ns
and hot cakes and hasty pudding or
much and milk is a real well-bal-
ancrd meal in itsclf The amount of
corn we can use made into hot breads
is only limited by the willingness of
our housewives and cooks to prepare
them, and of our people to eat them
There is plenty of corn for our total
cereal diet if we are able to use it.
Corn flour must be scalded with boil
ing water, thus gelatinizing the starch
and making it available for the action
of the yeast.
George R. Carter, president of the
vigilance corps, told the members to
be cautious about wearing out energy
and shoeleather in running down idle
rumors. To run down such rumors, he
said, was without doubt a service tC
the country, but he hoped that the ener
gies of the organization would be di
rectcd along more substantial lines.
