Rwaway-Cattle Steady to Lower.

South St. Paul, Mimi, December 10,
1921: While the packers here and
elsewhere have been operating under
somewhat Of a handicap during the
past week On account Of the Meat
Cutters strike, the markets have been
little affected. Most kinds of killers
and stocker and feeder cattle are
closing steady for the week, with
some Of the common killers and can
ners and cutters weak to Csc lower.
Demand for hogs and sheep has been
active and prices are closing irergu-
iarly higher than a week ago on
hiegs and all classes of sheep and
lambs.

ELIMINATING PROGRESS.

Under cover Of reorganization OF
government departments Tor efficiency,
the administration experts are endeav-
oring to reduce in means OF eliminate
entirely all those departments which
have meant most to the public.
The Federal Trade commission,
which in the past has served the pub
lie against our giant monopolies. has
been practically abolished without
formal action by congress. Few con-
gressmen would like to go on record on
such an issue.
Another significant change is shift
ing the Bureau Of Markets from the
department Of agriculture to the de-
partment of commerce. Congress plac-
ed the packer regulation under the
Bureau Of Markets and the packers
evidently prefer to be regulated by
Herbert Hoover to regulation OF Sec
rotary Of Agriculture Wallace, who is
more directly under the eye and inf1u-
ence Of the farmers.
The Department Of Agriculture has
| also been relieved Of charge Of the re.
sources Of Alaska and the national
! forests. The Bureau Of Public Roads is
also taken from the Department o.
Agriculture and shifted to the bureau
of commerce. @
Big Business evidently has more
confidence in Secretary Of Interior Fal

than it has in Secretary Of Agriculture

THE TAX PROGRAM.


X For some reason while expressing
dissatisfaction. with the tax program,
in his message, President Harding did
not go into details. Perhaps he con-
sidered it unwise to give his tax pro-
gram the publicity which the presi-
dents message receives.
Secretary Mellon Of the treasury,
however, announced the details On the
next day. The income tax rate on
millionaire incomes should be reduced
from 80 per cent, the figure forced by
the Agricultural bloc and the Demo
Gratis, to 20 or 25 per cent. But even
this is too much, He advises that,
by retaining the income tax with rea'
sonable surtax rates, which in peace
| times ultimately should not rise above
10 per lent, taxpayers still would be
required to contribute in proportion
to their ability to pay"
/ To this absurd reasoning Mellon ad
vises that the millionaire income taxes
should be reduced for the sake Of the
| people Of the country who are ALLEGED
to lose productive capital when thu
government takes as much as 1t doe:
now from the millionaires. The Hard
ing tax program as brought out BY
Mellon also asks for the adjustment

Old Mother Nature.
Buster Bear still had little to do
with his children, Boxer and Woof-
Woof. He left their training entirely
to Mrs. Bear. He was inclined to
think children a nuisance. and as he
hasn't changed his opinion to this
day it proves that Buster Bear had
and has lot to learn. Buster is
one of those unfortunate people who
have forgotten that they ever were
small themselves. I am sorry for
people like that. Aren't you?
So whenever the cubs came too
near Buster growled a warning way
down in his throat, and the twins
promptly scampered to a safe dis.
tance. But they no longer were in
danger from him. as had been the
case when they were babies. before
he knew that they were his babies.
In fact, Buster was proud Of the
twins. II the truth be known. and
was glad to have them about as long
as they kept away from him and
didn't bother him.
In most things the twins agreed,
but they didn't agree about their
father. Woof-Woof said she thought
he was horrid. She took the great
est care to keep a safe distance from
him when he happened to be about.
Boxer also was afraid Of Buster Bear
and treated him with the greatest
respect. But secretly he admired his

Vitamins in Food.

vitamin Is pronounced with the !
long as in vital and not short as In
victual. No use in discussing the
origin of the word, because it was
coined rather too previously anyhow.
and. like the term hysteria, it doesn't
mean just what it signifies.
Some laymen seem to know that
one must have plenty Of vitamins in
order to keep well. just as one must
have plenty of calories and oxygen
and sunlight and sleep.
Milk and butter and cheese and
skim milk and natural buttermilk
and soured milk and fermented milk
beverages all contain one Of the three
classes of these food accessories,
called in this instance fat soluble A
factor. and these foods are all good
for that reason, among others, in the
daily regimen.
But other common foods are quite
as good as milk as sources of fat SOL
uble A factor (which vitamin seems
to prevent ricketts,. Thus liver. fresh
eggs. dried eggs. lettuce. spinach.
beef fat. mutton fat. entire unmilled
wheat, raw cabbage. salmon. herring
and other foods will supply all the
fat soluble. A factor any one needs so
far as any scientist has yet learned.

America or Canada suffer from a de-
ficiency of vitamins unless there is
some abnormal or unusual restriction
in the variety of foods eaten. Many
infants, however. suffer grave nutri-
tional impairment by reason Of a
vitamin deficiency. for instance. in
fants whose diet is restricted to con-
densed or evaporated milk or to
boiled milk. or even to pasteurized
milk for many months.
Here is the verdict of q special
committee of scientists OF eminent
fitness who Investigated the problem
thoroughly:
ut is safe to say that the indi.
vidual always finds a sufficient supply
Of vitamins in his food so long as
that food is reasonably varied and
has received no artificial or acci-
dental separation into parts. and so
long as no destructive influence has
been applied to it"
The food must be varied-the more
different kinds of food in your diet.
or the more kinds at one meal, the
better.
The food must not be subjected to
destructive influenceS-Such as re-
fining wheat flour to a deadly white
powder that contains no vitamins,
polishing natural or brown rice. "pre-
pairing" cereals which contain vita
minis in their natural state but are
robbed of vitamins in such processes.
