MORE VEGETABLES IN
WINTER ARE FAVORED
Salts Of Many Kinds Are Needed
for Good Health.
Plentiful Supply Will Keep Children
Well and Make Their Meals More
Appetizing-canned Product
Needs Seasoning.

Vegetables should be freely included
in the winter diet as well as In the
summer one. Doctors say that that
tired-out feeling which many people
have at the end of winter-"spring
fever"-often comes from a lack Of
fruits and vegetables In the winter
diet Plenty of vegetables keep the
children well and make their meals
more appetizing. Vegetables mashed
and put through n sieve are more
easily digested by little children.
Salts of many kinds are needed by
the body, or II will not work smoothly.
Vegetables and fruit are rich in them
and IL you eat variety you are sure
to get all the kinds Of salt you need.
When the water in which vegetables
are cooked Is thrown away, valuable
salts are often wasted. Sometimes
the flavor Is not desirable, but II 1t Is
good save this water for soup or
gravy. An even better process Is to
cook the vegetables In as little water
as possible so there Is none left to
drain off, or bake or steam them.
Canned and dried vegetables often
need only skillful seasoning to make
them taste as good as the fresh
variety.
Canned corn Is very good when
turned into a baking dish with the
addition of milk and seasoning added,
heated through, In the oven, and al
lowed to brown on top. Outside stalks
of celery, green pepper, or both,
chopped and added before baking, will
vary the flavor Of the dish.

beet tops, combined with rice or bread

FARMERS GATHERING.

THE farmers of Bear Lake county
have hit upon the right idea without
question. The second annual picnic
of the Bear Lake county farm bureau
was most successful affair and drew
hundreds Of farmers and their fami-
lies from all parts OF this county.
The tillers of the soil had delightful
time. and day of real recreation on
the shore of beautiful Bear lake was
enjoyed at Fish Haven Tuesday.
The affair was well arranged under
the supervision OF the farm bureaus,
and a most friendly feeling prevailed
The picnic gave the farmers an oppor-
tunity of meeting together for day
Of amusement and recreation, away
from the daily tolls, to exchange
ideas and swap yarns, and that such
affairs are of great benefit could cas-
lily be seen at Tuesdays picnic.

MUCH TO CELEBRATE.

IN 1776 the hardy pioneers Of the
colonies fought as one to throw off
the CALLING yoke of the British king.
They succeeded and new nation was
born.
In 1861 this nation, grown to large
proportions and unable to reconcile
its sectional differences, entered upon
the greatest civil war of history-fa-
Their against son, brother against
brother, neighbor against neighbor.
In 1917 this same country, by then
the greatest of earth, crossed the seas
in its might and ended the most de-
Vastating war the world has ever
known.
This time it was father and son,
brother and brother, neighbor and
neighbor-no section, no creed-iust
an outpouring Of love for nation by
the people of all parts Of that nation
Lesser wars we have had, but all
have been fought in honor and just
ice, and have exerted their influence
in perpetuating the glorious iindepen-
dence won In the outpouring of the
blood of 1776. All have deman-
strated that as Americans we fight
not for conquest or for the love of
fighting, but only in defense of right,
justice, humanity and our national
independence.
On July 4th we will celebrate the
glories of our past. They are worthy
of the homage we render.
But on the other days of the year
let US not forget Let US strive to
perpetuate that glory, to enhance our
splendors, and to stimulate our hui
manity to the point where all his
tornians will record us as a people
who are equal to all emergencies but
above the petty jealousies that create
them-a nation so mighty as to bring
death with every sweep Of its arm,
but with mind and heart SO gentle
that none may have reason to fear
Entertainments upon their rights.
We have much to celebrate on In
dependence day, but with the aid
OF Him who created all peoples and
all things we will have more as time
goes on.
It is the spirit which has lived
since the days of '76.
