RAW FOOD Or THE POLISH
DIET?

Several fat lady readers of
this column have written to us
inquiring about the Polish diet
IS a method for reducing.
We haven't kept track Of the
Polish diet since General Pill
sudski turned out two or three
Polish presidents and took
charge Of the army in Poland.
He has a diet of his own for
getting rid of aspirants to power
in Poland.
What we may eventually
recommend to these fat readers
of our column is the new fad,
raw foods. Cooked food now
seems to be the enemy of man
kind. There can't be anything
worse for q young man and his
girl than pie la mode or
Smithfield ham or roast turkey.
A desirable menu for dinner
will be:
Strained Raw Tomatoes
squirtless Grape Fruit
Ecalloped String Beans, ad interim
Turnips, ad libitum
Potted Green Peppers, en- PEASANT
Mashed Prunes, en- deshabille
Garlic, ad nauseum
For a fashionable monday
lunch there may be served hors
d'oeuvre on the half shell, fol-
lowed by chef d'oeuvre, made
of raw milk, minced celery and
prune juice, and hash, a la vege-
table, composed of leftover
beans, turnips, peppers and
garlic.
On receipt of 1898 we will
send raw food recipes, contain
ing either Latin or French
names, which will add i'm
mensely to the taste and esprit
de crops.

FINISH ROAD WORK

The construction crews that have
been working fer some little time on
the improvement of the Yakima
read in Yakima county, finished the
job the early part Of last week and
the road machinery has been moved
to Yakima. The Improvement con-
sisted of the grading and surfacing
with crushed rock of six miles Of
the road beginning at the Yakima
Benton county Line and extending
west almost to the halfway house.
This Improvement eliminated the
Barrel Springs hill and one Of the
really bad parts OF the road in
Yakima county. The only other part
Ct the road in that county that gets
bad during the summer is the first
six miles east from Mckee City,
although this stretch is good most
of the year. With the improvements
that have been made in the road in
Benton county, the Highway is now
in good shape and the trip from

made easily in an hour an half III

in a fivver in two hours.

PLAGUE KILLS RABBITS

According to number of tie far
mers who last year were plagued b.
the jackrabb'ts coming in horcies and
eating up hay and growing crops, there
is no likelihood of this happening again
this winte- as some disease is preva.
lent among the pests and is killing
them off rapidly.
LIN the October issue of the Country
{ n:,lemen an interesting article is
published dealing witt. a mysterious
plaque, "tularefnia" which is making
rapid inroads in the hosts of rabbits
which ilfest all parts of the United
States. Whether or not this is the
same disease from which the pests in
Benton County are dying, it is difficult
to tell at tlis time but the story should
prove interesting reading.
The disease was u.lheard of in 1919
but in 1920 there was a rumor afloat
in medical circles about some myster-
ious microbe that was killing off rab-.
bits, squirrels and other like animals.
Tho sickness which developed was
very hard to tell from the dreaded
bubonic plague.
1t is said that rabbits raised COM
mercially for the table have not shown
any evidence of this disease. 1t is
the wild iackrabbits which seem to be
infected and whether or not THE ma
lady develoning here is the same as
is nrertiee,ed in the arti1le in the
Country Gentlemen. it would be we'll
