WHAT ABOUT The
APPLE AS FOOD
Many Different Uses Made of the
Pomice After Cider Has Been
Extracted
JELLYNIAKERS MAKE
GOOD USE OF IE

(By Geo. Hill, SRI

AS l have been laid up for repairs
with a broken, shoulder, l have been
reading the American Fruit Grower
about the present use of the apple
and was impressed with the differ
ent use made of the pomice, after
the cider had been extracted than
when was boy on the old farm.
We had IS different varities of
apples and made a quantity of cider
every fall, but the juice was a total
loss. / read, however, that in 1914
a jellymaker in Chicago discovered
that the pomice carried more crude
portien to the pound than did the
cores or Feelings, from which he hal
been getting the foundation for all
his jellies.
This discovery was followed up in
1915 by scientifically constructed
machinery by which they are able to
transform the wet ponice into a
light weight article, and condense
it into the essence of pectin.
At first they had to hunt for a
market for this article. This market
was soon found First to the jelly
makers. Second to the breakfastfood
makers. The reporter says that in his
own vicinity six of these dryers have
been installed with most satisfactory
results.
In Illinois, Virginia and New
York many OF the cider mill men are
availing themselves of this new

Explains Study OF Influenza.

That the epidemic OF influenza is
still serious throughout Iowa should
cause no surprise according to Dr.
John Hamilton, state epidemiolgist
He says the disease may run on into
the summer and even return next
winter. All previous epidemics OF
this kind have REQUIRED intermittent
f! ly for several years.
In connection with the influenza,
Dr. Hamilton's duties have greatly
increased The epidemologist is lit
orally a detective of diseases. He
must Investigate any disease which
becomes prevalent in community
and determine its causes. He may Sc
cure ready information concerning
infectious diseases through reports
from the State Board Of Health lab
oratory and from newspaper clipp-
ings.
At times Investigations may be
conducted in the laboratory but when
this proves too slow, it is advisable to
make field investigation. Then the
epidemiologist visits the patients.
questions them regarding all pos
sible sources of infection, and secures
specimens for laboratory examina-
ton.
1t is frequently possible to determ-
inc the cause of the epidemic by sta
tistical methods, tabulating the in
formation gained from the patients
regarding all possible sources of in
lection. Records are then made which
will be of assistance to the local
health authorities in controlling the
further spread OF the disease.
During the past year the following
field investigators have been made in
Iowa: diptheria, one; typhoid fever,
FIVE; smallpox. two; scarlet fever,
three: German measles; one; infan-
tile paralysis, one; gastro-enteritis,
one and influenza, two.

TO ENFORCE ISOLATION.
City Employs Soldiers to Patrol
Residence Districts.


The city board of health of Mar
shalltown took steps that 1t is ex-
pected will aid in the attempt to iso-
late influenza cases, prevent persons
from going into houses where there
are cases of the disease and keep
children at home, who belong in
families where there are cases. Two
discharged soldiers, recently arrived
home, were employed to patrol two
wards of the city. Others up to the
number Of five, one for each ward,
are to be employed as soon as they
can be secured.
The two engaged were Sergeant
Karl Wildeman and Private Steiner
Silence. They were sworn as special
officers, will wear policeman's badges
and will wear Red Cross arm bands
on their sleeves. They were instruct
ed to make arrests and report cases
of violations of the isolation regu-
lations, which constitute a misde-
meanor and are punishable by a
fine.

Going to Get a. surprise.

There are many fathers and
mothers who are going to receive a
surprise, now the war is over, sur
prise that may be pleasant, but like
ly otherwise. We refer to the return
of the boys, especially to the young
err boys who enlisted in the medical
corps and other subsidiary branches
of the army. These boys are gener-
ally only sons, or the youngest In
the family, boys aged from IL to IL
years. They are not baby boys by
any means, but in the family the
baby of the family. When they come
back they will have had vast
amount of experience that will have
broadened them and made men OF
them. The fathers and mothers Will
have no little boys returning to the
Preside, but full grown men who
haye been highly educated In the
broad school of experience. 1t Will
surely be surprise.

noneymaking opportunity.

He says that there are about 1000
large cider mills, each with capac-
ity Of 1000 bushels of apples per day,
and ten times that number of smaller
mills in the United States, and that
there is about eight pounds of this
new product to the bushel of apples,
worth about three cents pound.
If all these cider mill men were to
take advantage of this biproduct it
would enrich their business to the
extent of more than $50,000,O00
annually, besides placing valuable
food product upon the market.
Much is being done, however, to
bring this new industry before the
orchardists and cider mill men.
And it is gratifying to learn that
wherever this branch of food conser-
walton has been taken up the results
have been most satisfactory, as it is:
First highly nutritious food for
man. Second it is indispensable for
commercial jelly making. Third it is
an excellent ingregient in stock food.
Thus it becomes substitute for
wheat and other grains, just now so
necessary in feeding the millions de-
pendent upon the United States. 1t
seems to me a subject all thinking
people should investigate. There is
no fruit yet found to take first place
above the apple as food product!
AS culinary none excel it. 1t graces
the table in a greater variety OF
forms than any other, and as desert
fruit few are it's equal, and none it's
superior.

Red Cross Refuses Runts of Pigs.


There have been few Red Cross
pigs delivered that were miserable
runts. Some had to be returned to
their owners. No one who does a
thing like this can look soldier in
the face, knowing that he has shirk-
ed his duty.
If you have done this come to the
committee and make it right. If your
pigs are small, keep them until they
are suitable for market. Don't let
your neighbor donate the best pig,
but do it yourself. Do something Of
which you may always be proud, not
something which you will always be
ashamed of. Keep your pig until
April, If needs be, but make him a
good one.
The following are numbered a
mong the men whose hearts were in
the right place when they sold their
Red Cross pigs:
John White, $42.50.
Thomas Ellingson, S42.25.
Thomas Wood, $3.50. .
]. c. O'Malley, $44.30.
Adolph Siekmeier, $50.

'lish the extremes on the other end

Coming into the Marshalltown Club
Wednesday an old lady approached
the Red Cross booth and laid down
81 for her membership. She wanted
the magazine, but it was explained
to her that the subscription was an
additional 81. To this she replied
that she would be able to bring the
other dollar in January, but again 1t
was explained that that might cause
delay in her receiving the magazine.
She left, but very shortly returned,

The Public Opinion:
Please give the following a con-
spicuous place in this weeks issue of
your paper. To the good people of
this county. 1t is my privilege to
make this final appeal to you to re-
deem all of your unpaid War Savings
pledges and not only do that but also
to buy additional War Savings
stamps to the limit of your ability
and to legal limit of amount of War
Savings stamps that one can buy.
This is the last month and last week
and last chance to buy nineteen
eighteen War Savings stamps. Iowa
behind in her quota. She however
can yet go over the top if we will all
bend our united efforts. What better
Christmas remembrance could be
given than buy War Savings stamps.
What better service could each per-
form than by buying soldiers
share of War Savings Stamps which
he pledged to buy before he entered
the army, but which none of us would
ask him to buy now. Those who have
remained at home and been protect
ed by the battle which that soldier
has waged surely will be willing to
do this much extra for him. Remem-
Der thousands of these soldiers have
given their lives, other thousands
have given their arms and their
limbs and their eyes and are hope
lessly crippled for life. What better
expression of gratitude could we
make than by buying all the War
Savings stamps we can that our
government may have all the money
it needs to give special training to
these crippled soldiers and TO in a
measure ameliorate the loss Of those
arms and legs and eyes. | am conf
dent that every man, woman and
child in Iowa will buy more War
Savings Stamps will keep his UNI
paid War Savings pledges and put
this great state of ours over the top
as completely as it has gone over
the top in other war activities. l

Ear of Corn Has Red Cross Emblem

Ear of Corn Has Red Cross Emblem.
An interesting, unusual and timely
curiosity is an ear of calico corn
picked by Carl A. Miller on his farm
a quarter of mile north OF Lamoille
that has grown a distinct red cross
in the arrangement nature has made
of the red kernels.
While all of the kernels are mostly
white notified with spots of red,
right in the center of the ear has
grown two rows of deep red kernels
containing twelve kernels each and
on each side, midway alongside OF
these rows are four deep red kernels
making a perfect cross OF red ker-
nels in the center of an ear of white
kernels only notified with red. BY
holding the ear of corn few feet
distant from the eye the red cross
stands out as prominently as tho it
had been painted upon the white cap
of nurses uniform.
The ear was photographed after
being brought to this city and was
presented to F. c. Let's, of Chicago,
but temporarily of Washington
where he is director of supplies in
charge of all the buying for the Red
Cross.

The Boys Are All Away

How shall we wreathe the holly?
How hang the mistletoe?
How shall we keep the Christmas feast
With the joy we used to know,
When on the happy Christmas Day
The boys are all away?
The holly pricked their fingers
And brought wee drops of red.
When caught beneath the mistletoe
The laughing lassies fed.
No romping games this year Wen play
The boys are all away.
But we will never shame the lads
With hearts so bold and true,
Well never mix our Christmas greens
With sombre boughs of yew:
With courage high we'll learn to say:
1.-THE boys are all away"
Well keep the heart and make the home
AS bright as bright can be
And sing the carols old and sweet
or Christ's nativity,
Like Mary smile, the while we pray
For all the boys away.

HITS CAR SERVICE
Cold Weather Has Crippled

commuters working downtown in
Topeka, the street railway company
has not taken off the extra service
during the rush hours, Howard Pat
ten, superintendent of the company,
stated today. The severe cold wealth
er, coupled with TIE unusual sick list
among the trainmen, mas crippled the
service to such an extent that every
available car is in use without reach
ing the accommodations usually eX-
tended to patrons in normal weather.
The street cars in Topeka are heated
by hot water. Compared with cars in
other cities the heating is many de-
grees more comfortable here but in
the recent extended cold spell the wa
ter pipes nave been frozen in many
cars and the repair sheds are full. 1t
is necessary to remove the seats in the
cars and replace the pipes. On ac-
count of this repairing the equipment
has been tied up an. on many lines
it has been impossible to give addi-
tlonal service during the rush hours.
The weather has told on the street
car crews, also. Today there are SIX
teen men unable to work on account
of sickness.
