URGE WIDER USE OF CABBAGE

Lovers Of cabbage will welcome the

good social usage. For some inscrut-

II. Young IN the Providence journal
Cabbage is rich in iron and other
mineral salts, it contains moderate
amount of growth-promoting substance
and the American people should eat
more Of it than is their habit, accord
ing re- the Cornell propagandistS.
Have we not heard, too, that it con-
tains these precious, if as yet uniden-
tilted elements called vitamines? This
cabbage report suggests that Ameri-
cans do not cook it properly, as rule,
and that may explain why apprecia-
ton Of it is not more general. 1t
should be plunged into boiling salted
water and left there for 20 minutes,
no longer, uncovered"-instead of be-
ing confined to q tightly-covered re-
ceptacle for an indefinite period.
The practice Of covering the dish
has grown up because Of convention
al disinclination to having the house
filed with the perfume of boiling cab
bage But to a hungry cabbage lover
this fragrance is one Of the vegetables
charms. 1t exercises, as one may say,
an agreeable psychological influence.
There are, of course, divers ways OF
serving cabbage, all Of them good. And
since our tastes are often ruled by
the judgment Of authority, it may be
believed that widening circle Of con-

Lest We FORGET

| Dear friends, will you not hurry
along the sending in of names ant
burial places of Confederate soldiers
Many have sent in lists, but much
yet remains to be done by those who
love the cause for which their par
ents or grandparents suffered and
sacrificed. We are ready now to con-
tract for the grave markers and must
have the number Of markers needed
before this can be done. Will not
some one see to it that the list of
the names of Confederate soldiers in
every burial place in the county is
sent to Mrs. N. E. Beck, Union City,
before the holidays are over? This
is the only way by which we hope to
secure the records, Sc won't you DO
1T NOW? We arc counting on you.
1t depends on the cooperation of

or not this task is completed by the

Why more departments and cab

complexities and confusion?
Why the everlasting network OF
scientific experiments and research
which go on forever as a burden in
taxation without practical benefits
and results?
Why such thing even as the ag-
rieultural department and its in
creasing activities and promotions
when the only public stimulus agri-
culture ever got was after the cor
daily hated politico-a agriculture
bloc was organized? Why has agri-
culture actually degenerated with a
Department of Agriculture behind it.?
The crux of the thing which is
vastly puzzling is why should gov
eminent and legislation continue to
grow more rapidly, far more so, than
population and resources?
Some of our half-baked legislators
evidently have their notions twisted
with the idea that they are doing
something for the people when they
are promoting national government

tutions at an expense which far more
