None of the jury offered excuses for
not serving on the investigating body.
There are some Ku KIuxers in the

MENTAL COOKERY

Two portions of melon, cold salmon,
with an ample mixed green salad, fresh
cherries, and barley water with lemon
juice and ice.
Here is psychological meal, pre-
scribed by British authority on diet.
"A London Clubman'' gives CONVEX
sation with the expert in the London
Daily Mail.
Medical SCIENCE" he said to me,
is interested just now in the psychic
effect of different foods. You know
that some patients are not physically
in need of medicine, only psychoIog-
lcally. Most doctors have occasions
when they mix a bottle of harmless
and innocent medicine that for the
sole reason hat the invalid would ne
yer think he was getting treatment if
ne did not receive a bottle inscribed:
One tablespoonful three times a dav
after meals And there is a sense in
which thought either heals or aggra-
Yates the disease.
That is by the way, But the psvcb-
&c value of food is also real. 1t is pro-
verbal that good feeling and good fell
lOwship aid digestion. They are a
mental wine of value for the stom-
achs sake. Sorrow spoils the chef
might well become another proverb.
i will go further. Certain foods
have power to excite by their verv
names and associations an interest
and attitude of mind that tend to give
the effect desired. Let me illustrate
by my choice from the menu this equa-
tOnal day.
Melon suggests GOODNESS. The
suggestion helps the cooling physical
juices in the body itself to come into
play at time when the whole system
is parched by the heat.
The same is true of cold salmon.
with that fresh green salad added.
there's more than that in nv choice.
| know few words so potent as vine
gar IN promoting a sense of GOODNESS.
It stirs a psychic breeze. 1t suggests
the easing of pain and the healing Of
wounds. With my salad get the cool
ing thought of vinegar, you see.

OF my menu. Mind and BODY went
together in choosing it. | think Thai
from both points of view it approaches
a model of light midday meal when
King Sol is on his blazing throne as
he is to-day.

/ Monday, Oct. 5. - This has been
very busy day all over the ranch. A
large crew is at work on the fertilizer
plant and one section of it is about
complete. AL Satnan has gone into
the pit to do the brink-Iaying around
the sides. Another crew is cutting
and splitting wood for fireing at the
boiler and brick kiln. Comrades Hoo
yer and Scharrer are building fences
for the new garden and to corral the
goats on the forty acres just south of
the dairy. And by the way, we have
bought about IS more goats for our
herd and John and Leonard will have
to be charging their pastures pretty
fast to keep up with the herd increase.
Well, they are both big and strong
and are capable of the job. Mont

sold their brooms. They report Moth

fine climate where food stuff grows
abundantly nearly all the year around
the production of materials for max
ing cloth is an established fact; ma,
terials for making our buildings all for
our use - why do you still hesitate
about helping us retain all this vast
tract of land for cooperative use?
You will need it soon; why not help
us get it now? You can buy the land
and get deed for it yourself, or you
can take out membership in the COL
ony and pay in the cash for us to in
vest as our payments come due. Re-
member we do not have to buy this
land; we want to do it in order to en-
large the holdings of the co-operators.
Ii we don't buy another acre, we hold
what we have. Do you want to help
us to do the big thing, or must we do
It alone? To-day comrade from
Wash. State wrote in; she is a paid

$500 more to help us start our build
ings. That's the spirit that knocks the.
