THE VALUE OF
UNLOCKED FOOD

White flour is an emasculated, star
vation food. When vegetables are
boiled and the water thrown away, one
might as we'll eat sawdust. Even when
the food is cooked or properly steam
ed, chemical change takes place that
lessons its value. Hence the great i'm
portance of eating plenty of raw fruits
and leaves, in which organic mineral
elements abounds Leaves, such as let
tuce, spinach. and cabbage are
much richer in these salts than roots.
1t is also to be remembered that the
soil in which many vegetables are
grown fails to supply sufficient amount
of iron, phosphorus. sulphur, etc, to
bring these vegetables up to standard
in nutritive value.
A certain New England professor as
cribed the defeat of University crew
in athletics from that section lately to
the Impoverished mineral content of
the fields and gardens of the part of
that country. Mining out the agricul-
turaI lands, which has been the GUS
tom in America since its settlement by
the whites, may be responsible for the
lowered stamina of the present genera
ton.
This feature Of the dietetic question
has been almost entirely ignored. Just
as there is a great difference between
men and animals, according to how
they are fed. so also is there vast
difference between foods for plants,
and in their seeds and fruits, according
to the amount of mineral salts found in
the soil where thev grow.
If you have kidney trouble. select a
dietary rich in the organic salts. which
abound especially in green leaves,
fruits and vegetables. Make your diet
chiefly of these and your kidneys will
soon be all right. This treatment is
good for other diseases also. for all dis
ease is one.
A radical change in the diet and
habits of chronic invalids alone can
secure relief. and this requires time
and patient persistence in right living.

CITY WORKERS ORGANIZE
COOPERATIVE BANKS

The successful opening of the $l00-
900 Cooperative Bank and Trust Co.
recently, by organized labor in Tuscon,
has stimulated the workers in
a half dozen large cities to redouble
their efforts to mobilize their money
in cooperative banks under their own
control. Organized labor in Omaha.
St. Louis, and Los Angeles, are per-
fecting plans for labor cooperative
banks in those cities, and the formation
of the Workers bank in Philadelphia
is progressing under the able direction
of a committee representing union la
Dor of the state Of Pennsylvania, Of
which President James H. Maurer Of
the State Federation of Labor is chair
man. The Philadelphia bank will be
known as The Producers and Consum-
ers' Cooperative Bank. The Commit
tee on Banking and Credit of the All
American Cooperative Commission is
aiding groups of organized workers
and farmers in a dozen different states
to lay solid foundation or their own
cooperative banks, and will answer
any inquiries on the subject addressed
to it at its headquarters, Bliss Building,

Naval Reserve Enrolling
Officer Coming Friday

Kauai men who are interested
in the Naval Reserve will be glad
to know that an enrolling officer
will arrive at Port Allen Friday
morning. He will be at the Eleele
Hall all day Friday and Saturday
for the purpose of enrolling men
in the United States Naval Re-
serve.
That this organization is not
going to be like some we have
known in the past is evidenced by
the fact that OH Saturday and
Sunday of this week number of
the men who enrolled during the
last visit of the enrolling officer
will be given their first opportun-
ity to take a short cruise on an
Eagle boat. Thirty six drills a
year are required of all enrolled
men and trip on the Eagle boat
counts for eighteen of them. Two
trips a year areNall that are abso-
lutely required of the men. They
can take more and do a great deal
more of course. AS with all other
such enterprises, the more that a
man puts into it the more he will
get out of it, and most men will
probably be willing to take great
deal more than two cruises a year,
especially if Kauai gets an enroll
ment of 100 men and has an Eagle
boat assigned to the island per-
manently.
This Naval Reserve is now a
nationwide affair. At every main
land port big reserve is spring
ing up. Its strength and import
ance is well brought out by an
article, "The Naval Reserve A
Great National Asset" by JOS
ephus Daniels, former Secretary
of the Navy, printed in the May
issue of the Saturday Evening
Post. Any Kauai man who is
wavering as to whether or not he
should join the Reserve, should
read this article. 1t is certainty
that the more people that read
that article and that get a definite
idea of just what the United
States Naval Reserve really is, the
more people there will be enrolled.
Anyone who wishes to get more
information about the Reserve
should call A. B. Braue at the
Kauai Railway Company, Port
Allen.
