Plans are being made by Leland Stanford 1rnvcr

The Sebastopol farm at the present time includes
more than $4,000 hybrid walnut trees, over 1906
new hybrid plum and prune trees and many Taric-
ties Of new hybrid cherry trees.
Although Burbank is usually thought Of
Californian, he comes from New England stock

MANY DON'T EAT ENOUGH
MISUNDERSTANDING

tically the same as that of meat.
Fish and eggs may be classed as
animal food. Meats have wastes in
the body that must be eliminated
and thrown off. An excessive amount
Of meat taken into the body throws
heavy amount of work upon the
eliminative organs. This excessive
activity of the organs Of the body
does not make for good health.
Most people do not eat enough
vegetables. If possible, at least three
green vegetables should be eaten
every day. Vegetables furnish food
elements which are essential to the
body and in addition they furnish
bulk which is important.
Vitamines are food elements which
are vital to life. Vitamines are some
times destroyed by cooking. Foi
this reason some raw food should
form part of the daily diet.
Eat More Fruit and Lettuce
Fruits, lettuce and celery are
among such important raw foods
that should be eaten. Fruit in par.
| ticular should form an important
part Of the diet.
Fruits help to prevent constipa-
ton. They help to preserve the
teeth and they supply valuable min
eral salts to the body.
A well-balanced ration should in
clude one meat dish day, at least
three vegetables, plenty of raw food,
such as fruit, celery or lettuce.
Some comparatively inexpensive
foods furnish more nourishment than
food costing much more. You do not
need to have fancy foods or highly
seasoned foods in order to remain
healthy.
Plain food is just as good for you
and is healthier. Potatoes, meat and
milk are much better than cake, pie
or candy.
In children, especially, is the use
Of food abused. After they have
eaten a quantity Of sweets they do
not care Tor potatoes, meat, milk or
any of the foods that give them
thin. They look pale, become ner-
yous and restless and do not sleep
J we'll. They are dull and can not do
their work we'll in school. Much of
this is caused by not having a bal
anced ration.
There is reason to believe that
nalnutrition is a much more wide
spread condition among the people
Of the United States than is realized.
The United States Public Health
Service wants you to remember that
in order to attain and maintain good
health you must eat good food.
You must eat the right kind Of
food. You must have a balanced ra-
ton.
You must cultivate good eating
habits.
| You must not over-eat.
You must chew your food we'll.
You must have plenty of milk and
plenty Of green vegetables.
You must not eat too much meat.
You must not eat too many sweets.
If you will observe these rules you
will avoid malnutrition and you will
have taken a most important step
toward the avoidance of prcventable
| diseases.

RY DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING
Surgeon General, United States fub-
lie Health Service


Food is necessary TO- the body for !
three definite reasons:
First: Food supplies all the energy |
needed by the body for carrying on
the bodily activities.
Second: Food supplies the materl-
ais for the growth and repair OF the
body.
Third: Food contains substances
which regulate the organs and parts
of the body so that each organ does
its share. This adequate and proper
functioning of the organs of the body
constitutes good health.
The parts Of the human body must
be regulated so that life may 60 on
smoothly and we may enjoy good
health. 1t is the food we eat that
furnishes the materials that regulate
the parts of the body. If your body
does not get sufficient food, or if you
are eating the wrong kind Of food,
the perfect regulation Of the body is
interrupted. If this interruption be
serious or long continued sickness
results.
You must understand that all sick
ness does not follow undernourish-
ment for poor food. 1t is. however,
equally important for you to know
that if you body is undernourished,
or if you are not eating the proper
kind of food, that the natural re-
sistance of your body to harmful
bacteria is lowered.
Among the most important discov-
cries of modern years must be listed
those which have been made by scien-
lists with regard to the value Of
various kinds Of foods.
These scientists have given to the
world certain principles which are
correct, but science can not formulate
diet that will meet the individual
needs of individual men.
Don't Trust Your Instinct as to Food
You must know that you can not

kind Of food you should eat,

undertaking. More men break dow
from Over-eating after tho age of 40
than break down from Over-wOrk.
The foods the body needs to sup
ply heat and energy are the animal
fats, the vegetable oils and such
Starchy foods as potatoes, bread
IlCc, peuNS ana certain OLIef very
important substances known as vita

Brain work does not call for more
food than physical labor. The man
who is laboring hard physically or
working out of doors needs nourish-
ing foods in quantity in order to have
the necessary supply Of energy for
his work.
This is one Of the reasons why

and bacon have come TO be the

Even Mr.. Ringtail Coon looked
thoughtful when he saw the sign.

himself. ut certainly is great
temptation. Pm the only person of

if you remember, Mister Coon had
had an accident caused by fast driv-
ing.
Away he went to the repair shop
to see if they could get his yellow
racer fixed up in time for the race.
He was overjoyed to find that they
! could.
/ And that wasn't all. From north,
south, east and west people came
when they heard about the race.
They all wanted to know more about
twenty names on Nick's list.
Really l don't know where all the
cars came from.
Colonel 'Possum said he would bOr-
row one from his brother-in-law, and
Snoopy Skunk said he had friend
who had friend who knew where
he could get one.
But beyond that don't know a
thing.
But this story is about Markie
Muskrat, the poor little fellow who
lived in a hut on the mud-bank Of
the pond and didn't have many
friends.
His clothes were often muddy and
ne never looked like much, and as
for a car, people would have been as
i much surprised to see him driving
the moon as an automobile.
II wish l could be in the race?
he kept saying over and over to him

putting their names down. 81 wish

Suddenly he had an idea. He all
most fell over, it surprised him So
the idea did.
And without so much as blinking
an eyelash, he picked up the pencil

Then he scampered off to the auto
mobile repair shop where dozen old
wrecks of cars lay rusting out in the
yard.
