POsPEROUs YEAR AHEAD

/ Employing over two million people
at good wages spending millions
each week for materials and supplies
/ the railroads are a good barometer
of business.
! The number Of freight cars order
ed for use In the United States in
1922 amounted to 180,154, the larg-
est total since 1912, contrasting with
only 23,346 and "a, 207 cars in years
1921 and 1920 respectively.
! Locomotives ordered for domestic
service in 1922 totaled $500, the
largest figure since 1918 as compared
with only 239 in 1921 and 1898 loco
motives in 1920.
Altogether, it is estimated that the
railroads contracted for the expendi-
ture Of more than $471,224,000 dur
ing the year for freight and passen-
ger cars and locomotives combined.
The average cost of freight cars is
now said to be about $1,700, passen-
ger cars about $4,000 and locomo-
tives about $50,000.
Orders for equipment for 1925 are
still larger than for 1922 and with
no national shop strike, coal strike or
Big Four Brotherhood strikes ahead,
our country may expect increasing
prosperity.

TEXANS SOME BOOSTERS

We think we are some boosters in
Payette County. but we don't stand
! knee-high to a grasshopper compared
with the commercial club Of Dallas
. Texas. Here is what they say about
Texas.
Texas occupies all the continent of
North America except small part
set aside for the United States and
Canada. Texas owns the north half
of the Rio Grande the only dusty
river in the world.
Texas Is bounded on tho North by
twenty-five or thirty States, and on
the east by all the oceans in the
world except the Pacific and on the
south by the Gulf of Mexico and
South America and on the west by
the Pacific ocean the milky and the
Sidereal Universe.
Texas is so big that the people in
Brownsville call the Dallas people
Yankees and the citizens of Ell Paso
sneer at the citizens of Texarkana as
being snobs of the effete East 1t
is $50 miles further from Ell Paso
to Texarkana than it is from Chicago
to New York; Dallas is nearer ST.
Paul MINI. than it is to Brownsville,
Texas. Chief occupation of the
people of Texas is trying to keep
from making all the money in the
world. Chief pursuit of the Texans
was formerly Mexicans but now it is
land buyers, steers and Texas crop
records.
Texans are so proud of Texas that
they cannot sleep at night. If Tex
ans head should be opened the map
of the state would be found on his
brain. Unless your front gate is at
least eighteen miles from your front
door you do not belong to society as
constituted in Texas. Mrs. King
gate is $50 miles from her front
door and she is thinking Of moving
her house back so that she won't be
annoyed by passing automobiles.
other Texas landlords have whole
mountain ranges and rivers on their
ranches. One Texan has forty miles
of navigable river on his farm. II
the proportion of cultivated land in
Texas were the same Illinois, the
value Of Texas crops would equal
that Of the forty-seven other states
combined. Texas has enough land
to supply every man, woman and
child in the whole world, with tract
5x2o feet, and have enough left
over for the armies of the world to
march around the border abreast.
Texas grows enough alfalfa which if
baled and built into stairway would
reach to the pearly gates. If all the
hogs in Texas were one hog he would
be able to dig the Panama Canal In
three roots. II all the Texas steers
were one steer he could stand with
his front feet in the Gulf of Mexico,
one hind foot in Hudson Bay and
with his horns punch holes in the
moon and his tail brush off the mists
from the Milky Way.
AS Texas Is to the Universe so
Dallas is to Texas

BY Charles A. L. Reed,

TF you understand some of
the things that must Happen
II to your food, some Of the
processes through which it must
pass, before it is of any value to
you, you will probably come
nearer doing the part that is un-
der control of your will and
you habits.
Thus you, as you know, mas
ticate food, digest some of it in
your mouth, swallow it, digest
more Of it in your stomach, and
still other parts if not more of
your food in your intestines.
But food, even after it is d.
gested, doesn't nourish your body
If it remains in your intestines.
The nourishment has to be
taken out Of your intestines and
carried to your brain, nerves,
muscles, bones, skin, lungs, liver
in short to every tissue, struc.
ture and organ in the body-to
do you any good.
If you take some of the water
with ink in it and pour it into a.
little cup or cornucopja, which.
you have made with some thin
porous paper, you will see that
the water goes through the paper
and that the ink goes though
with it.
If you place the lower end of
the filled cornucopia, or filter
in glass of clear water, you
Will presently discover that the
clear water in the glass is be.
coming stained with the ink.
Or, If you put the ink water
IN the glass and the clear water
in the cornucopia, you will dis
cover that the ink travels in the
other direction.
This movement of finely-diyided
matter suspended in water
through membranes or tissues
is governed by natural Law.
sometimes called "osmosis." and
sometimes the law Of absorption
And the direction the fluids travel
is determined by. the physical
properties of the two mixtures
or liquids. j.:
The food in the intestines, to
reach your system, must be SO
fine that it will, pass through the
meshes Of tissues which, like the
paper of the cornucopia, act as
strainers or filters.
1t can be seen from this that

SECRETS OF HEALTH
AND SUCCESS
HOW YOUR FOOD NOURISHES YOUR BODY

? all food which has not been thus
reduced to necessary fineness-
first by mastication and next by
successive stages Of digestion
cannot be utilized for the actual
purposes of nutrition. 1t must
remain as waste in your intes-
tines either to be carried off or
to undergo Preventative and putre-
factive changes.
But the nourishment which has
been taken up, or absorbed, by
the blood, is now carried by the
blood-stream until it reaches the
little twig ends Of the arteries,
called "capillaries," from which
it is deposited in the tissues in
accordance with precisely this
same law of osmosis.
You can now see why, by IN
telligent attention and voluntary
efforts, you may put yourself in
harmony with this law Of os-
mosis. or of absorption, and thus
get the largest benefit from your
food.
