HOWYO EAT WELL AND
 TO LIVE WELL
By DIR. EDOUARD DE POMIANE What Becomes of the Food We Eate

Wnut becOmeS or thc FOO0 We Eat6
 Let us follow mixed meal in it's wanderings through the digestive tube. Let us eat. for example, a sandwich made of a slice of lean ham placed between two squares of but tered bread. We have there a com plete meal The ham supplies the albuminoid, the bread furnishes the starch, the butter constitutes the fat. As for mineral matter. it is repre- scented by the salt contained in the ham.
 The first mouthful. carefully mas ticated. is ground by the teeth. The grinding at the beginning is of great importance. The mass to be digested is thus divided into small pieces. which greatly helps it's final ab- sorption by the digestive juices. In the mouth this first morsel comes into contact with the saliva, but this does not attack the ham and the butter; only the bread, soaked with saliva, begins to be transformed into glucose, at the expense of the starch it contains. But the morsel remains in the mouth only a very short time. The piece of sandwich passes rapidly down the aesophasus and arrives in the stomach, where 1t will stay for more than two hours.
 In the stomach the saliva con- tinues it's action on the starch. while the ham is attacked by the pepsin, soluble ferment which acts in an acid medium. dissolving the ham and changing it to peptones. The butter is not yet touched by digestion.
 As soon as the stomach is em- tied, the sandwich arrives in the intestine. Here what bread has not already been digested by the saliva is attacked by the amylase of the pan creatic juice. The trypsin of this juice acting In conjunction with the entero-kinase of the intestinal juice. digests the ham. which has escaped being dissolved by the pepsin. And all the peptones thus obtained are further split up and transformed into crystalloid substances Qeucine. tyror sine, etc). In it's turn, the butter re- ceives here its first digestion; the bile contained in the intestine makes an emulsion of it, the lipase from the pancreas splits it into glycerine and fatty acids.
 Now the sandwich exists no more: 1t has been transformed. Glucose

You have no idea. until you try the effect, how much one of these frills or pleatings can do for the perfectly plain line that finishes most of these jacquettes Look at any girl you pass who Is wearing a plain one and then see the one who has added bit of lace frill. There is no question about the latter one being the best dressed and the prettiest. And you can buy these lace frills by the yard for prices that will astonish you by their slender ness. The frill can be added with a couple of basting stitches and you will be glad you made the effort to do 1t.

POSES AS 1912 PENSIONER
Woman of Sixty-Six Represented Her
self as Widow of Veteran for
Seven Years.

Baltimore, Md.-Mrs. Matilda Tyler
sixty-six years old, was arrested
charged with qnlawfYlly receiving a
government pension by representing
herself as the widow of a veteran Of
the War Of 1912.
Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mary e..
Poskelly, also Is under arrest on q
charge of conspiring with Mrs Tyler
to defraud the government of a 500
quarterly pension payment.
Mrs. Tyler was alleged to have ac-
cepted payments since 1916, and her
husband, who died In that year, was
said to have received vouchers since
the death of his mother, the rightful
pensioner, In 1898. When questioned
Mrs. Tyler told authorities she thought
the money was due her as a widow of
Civil war veteran.
The arrest Of Mrs. Tyler was the out
come of an article In a New York pa
per several months ago on the occa-
sion Of a war mothers parade in New
York

would go to waste, and to maintain
the fertility of the soil. A few COWS
can be MIXED before breakfast, and
after the days work is done. But
when the farmer must lose time out
of the field to see after his dairy, he
right then begins to lose money, gen
orally speaking. Where a farmer
lives close to a town and can peddle
the milk it is possible that large
dairy is profitable. And in the SOU
thern part of Idaho where they have
so much cheap hay and potatoes it
looks reasonable that it would pay to
keep enough of cattle and other stock
to consume the entire hay crop. We
are not acquainted with all the cir
cumstances, however.
The poultry business on a small
scale is usually profitable on the
farm. From 20 to 40 hens to con-
sumo what would be wasted from the
kitchen and barn. Where from 100 to
125 young chickens are raised it takes
a big lot of feed in addition to what
they can find Any more than this
will prove to be an Improbable bust
ness as a rule One brood SOW to
the farm is enough except where the
farm is properly arranged and fenced
for pasture. Frequently it pays bet
ter to buy pig or two than to keep
a sow, unless sold at a reasonable
price. Now when every farmer be-
gins milking ten or twelve cows, and
keeping four or five brood sows and
$50 or 200 hens, right then and there
the writer is going out of the hog
business The dairy business and
poultry business except enough for
his own use, and raise wheat and
alfalfa hay and sell to his neighbors,
to feed their hogs, cattle, and
chickens.

HUNGRY DUCKS
SAVED BRITAIN
Tests at Zoo Resulted in Perfec-

WAS MENACED BY STARVATION
HydroPhone Was Developed az Result
OF Experiments Made With Stetho-
scopes by Two Medical Men
in London Zoo.

London.-Rome, they say, was saved
by the cackling of geese. 1t may be
i well that the Livy of the future will
assert that Britain In her hour Of peril
was saved by the quacking OF ducks.
How ducks eating biscuits thrown to
them at the pond in the London zoo
led to the discovery Of U-boat de-
tectors was bit of INSIDE" war stuff
told by Prof. J. L. McGregor Morris
at the Scientific Novelties exhibition
here recently.
OLD Invention Incomplete.
Before the war, it is true, there were
submarine detectors-a microphone to
which was attached diaphragm But
unfortunately this device was non-di-
rectional-that is, it didn't indicate
from which direction the underseas
boat was coming.
Horns and even trumpets were used
to assist the instrument, but up to
June, 1915, the detectors were of little
use. Meantime the submarine cam
paign was increasing in intensity and
the United Kingdom was faced with
the possibility of being starved to
death.
Then, according to the story told by
Professor Morris, putting ones head
under water where sounds could easily
be heard suggested to Sir William
Bragg and Sir Richard Paget the use
OF the stethoscope, the instrument that
Is to the doctor what the brief case Is
to the lawyer.
Test Succeeds at Zoo.
The two medical men went to the
zoo to try out their scheme. While
Sir William threw biscuits to the ducks
his colleague by means of an instru-
ment Oh the lines of the stethOscope
and with part in the water, tried to
hear the ducks eating.
Suddenly Sir Richard threw his In
strument down with an impetuous jerk
A duck had attempted to eat the part
Of it under water and the noise was
deafening.
Out Of this Incident was evolved the
hydrOphOne-a device which looks like
an old-fashioned warming pan This,
when turned slowly in the water, In

submarine Is coming 1t could detect
the presence Of submarine five miles

THE FORUM
FARMER DISCUSSES
LIVESTOCK QUESTION.
Viola, Idaho,
= + + I. + + + 4. I. + + + + + I


Feb. %, 1928.
We notice in the Star-Mirror of the
9th of February that the Portland
Stockyards Co. has stated that 448,332
live hogs were shipped to Portland,
Tacoma, Seattle, and Spokane during
1922 from the Dakotas and Nebraska.
The average value being $40 per head.
This amounts to $8,966,640 sent east,
which The Star-Mirror (and many
others no doubt says should have
been kept here. Now let us suppose
the farmers of Idaho, Washington, and
oregon had raised 44S,332 more hogs
and placed them on the market in
1922. What would have been the re-
suit? The farmer would have sold
his pork from 31a to 5 cents per lb.
The feed it would have taken to pro-
duce these hogs would sell for more
than the hogs. Then why have big
lOt of hogs around to feed and look
after? Moreover to raise so many
hogs would have made it losing
game for all farmers of the northwest
including the Dakotas and Nebraska
We wish to say right here that if
the farmers had placed 448,332 more
hogs on the market than they did,
they would have received less money
for all of them than they received for
che few they sold. Over production
is the farmers ruin. Look at the po-
tato crop. Look at the apple crop.
Over production is big help to the
consumer that doesn't produce any
thing.
And what is true in pork produc-
tion is true in the poultry business
We know Of men that have been in
the poultry business for several years,
and who made success of It until
recently. They are now going out of
it. The price of eggs and poultry
have gone down. Too many in the |
business already. The dairy business, !
1t seems has been reasonably good

it be till it will not pay? If the |
farmer follows the advice that is now
being given, it will be about another |
year. Then the dairyman will begin |

MODS KILL SO WOMEN
Cruel Tortures Applied to Some
of Them, Says Church Report.
But Four States in the Union Never
Had to Report Lynchino-Only
Sixteen Free of the Crime In
Last Ten Years.

WashingtOn.-An alarming number
of women have been killed by mobs in
the United States in recent years, the
Federal Council of Churches declared
In a statement.
Since 1885," the council said,
''there have been 83 women killed by
mobs. Some of them were put to
death with savage tortures, such as
burning and disemboweling."
Such brutality, the council declared,
might be expected 'fn pagan times or
heather countries, but by no means In
a civilized land today"
"The total number of persons
lynched by years gives startling pic
ture of lawlessness, the council said
"There is a slow decrease from the
climax in 1892 and 1898 down to 1908.
During the latter year and 1909 there
was an increase, then another slow de-
crease until 1918, when the tendency
to Increase was again manifested"
Only four states have never had
lynching, according to the council
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New
Hampshire and Vermont Three states
have had no lynchings since 1889
New Jersey, Utah and Connecticut
Eight other States" the council
said, "have had clear record during
the last ten years. They are Nevada,
Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Indiana, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
'This means that only 33 per cent
of the states have not had lynching
In the last ten years"

DIVORCE IN GEORGIA is
GOOD IN SOUTH CAROLINA

COLUMBIA, S. c., March ia
divorce granted in another state
must be recognized by the South
Carolina courts, the SuIkeme
Court held here yesterday in revers-
ing decision in Circuit Court an
nulling the marriage Of Chester NJ.
Goodyear, Jr., of Greenville, to
Nina T. Reynolds Goodyear. The
court held that Mrs. Goodyear was
bona fde resident of Georgia when
she obtained divorce from Sam
Reynolds in that state.
South Carolina courts cannot
grant divorces. Goodyear brought
the action on the ground that when
the marriage was performed at
Darlington, S. c., Nov. 81, 1919,
Mrs. Goodyear had a living husband,
the lower court upheld this con-
tention.
