SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. Brice Belden-


hats are important elements of
Il human food. They are con-
sumed in varying forms and
quantities by all peoples, from the
animal fats eaten by the Eskimos
to the vegetable fats taken by the
Aborigines of the African jungles.
They depend for their value upon
two factors, i. e. yitamins or
energizers and carbons, or heat
makers.
Fats have always been justly
recognized as a cardinal factor in
diet, especially in very hot and
very cold countries, but when the
fat-soluble vitamins were discov'
cred they gained a new import.
ance. These yitamins were first
discovered in butter fat, and con-
sequently butter gained a tre-
mendous Importance in the minds,
OF the public as a factor in diet,
far greater Importance than it
really deserves. But for the
chance of its being the fat in
which the vitamins were first
found, its vitamin content would
not attract anything like the at
tention it actually does.
The student of diet is often told
that fat is very economical
foodstuff This requires a certain
amount OF qualification. Most
food contains good deal OF
water and fibrous matter. Fats
contain practically no water and
very little fiber. 1t follows, there
fore, that, as fuel, they are more
highly concentrated food than
either proteins or carbohydrates.
In fact, they yield, gramme for
gramme, twice as much heat,
measured in Calories, as either OF
the other classes of food. They
do not. however, give up their
energy to the body so quickly or
so completely as do carbohydrates.
They are, however, very desirable
and economical when storage and
transport have to be considered.
That food is most economical
which gives the largest return la
nutritional value for the money
spent. Calorie for calories pro
TENS, cost more than fats, but
cereals cost less, Fats are, there
fore, more economical than other
foods only if they provide some
thing which the other foods do
not. Apart from flavor and their
capacity for making food attrac-
tive, the only thing that they
can provide, over and above other
foods, is fat-soluble vitamin. They
may have much of this or they
may contain little. The vitamin
content OF different fats. and the
same fat under different condl-
tons, varies considerably, and
this fact is not as widely
recognized as it should be.

COME men are born bachelors,
~ some achieve bachelorhood,
and some have bachelorhood thrust
upon them; by fate-or doting
mother.
The first are to be Stunned; no
marriage they might make would
ever take" The last are to be
pitied. But the self-made bachelor
is his own fault. He got that way
by making PET of himself!
You know the type. The kind
who would let NO woman stand
between him and an artichoke or
a. steak with mushrooms; who
would not sacrifice an afternoon
of golf or a good nights rest for
the most thrilling romantic adj
venture. The kind who has made
a god of his personal comforts
and amusements. and has cheer
fully sacrificed his heart and all
of his natural impulses on the
altar thereof.
A confirmed bachelor is always
a pessimist. His life is one long
fight to defend his freedom and
his acknowledgement. He is a col
lection Of habits entirely SUR
rounded by cynicism and suspi-
cion. He feels so sorry for him
self!
But when he thlnks-just aca-
demically--of marriage, and con-
siders that it might mean eating
round steak instead of partridge,
smoking ordinary cigars instead
of Coronas, going home before
midnight and spending his money
for necessities instead OF on his
own sweet luxuries, he puts the
idea from him with shudder,
exactly as he would shove aside
a burnt chop.
The self-made bachelor Is a
bachelor because he doesn't need
anybody to help him LOVE him
self. The love that he wastes on
himself Is the love that passeth

NEW HIGHWAY PLAN
MEANS FEWER JOBS.

There will be no great number OF
jobs for truck drivers as result OF
the State Highway commissions de-
cision to motorize its maintenance
equipment. In fact it looks as II
there will be none a. all.
Since the announcement was made
that the department Intended to
change from team patrols to truck
patrols Commissioner .. NJ. Babcock
and ell the maintenance superinJend-
ents have been almost deluged with
applications from pe.aonS who wanted
to dive trucks for the department
But Mr.. Babcock says that there are
plenty Of the fornT maintenance
,atro'nen who can handle the new
trucks. so that there Will bS no new
jobs.
Each of the new truck units will
replace four of the team patrols
Nearly all the present patrolmen can
handle cars and trucks. Besides that
they have knowledge of road con-
ditions and maintenance methods,
and they will be given preference in
organizing the truck patrols Those
who cannot be employed as heads of
truck units will in many cases be
given other employment. The total
number of men to be employed is
slightly less than under the old plan.
Maintenance equipment will be
motorized on the most heavily travel
ed routes this year and on other
routes in two or three years. Econ
omy is one of the reasons for the
change, and economy does not create
many new jobs.

DAIRY CENTER BEING BUILT
IN The EMBARRASS DISTRICT.

The Embarrass community, south of
here, long known as a potato district,
is rapidly adding the dairy cow as a
source OF income, says August Neu-
bauer, county agent A partial sur
vey recently made by Walter Nell
mark shows that there is big in
crease in dairy cattle in the vicinity
of Embarrass and that there is also
big demand for better, highgrade
cows and purebred sires Plans are
being made whereby this demand
can be filled through the importa-
ton Of good foundation stock.
Almost all of the cream from En-
barrass is shipped through the EN-
barrass Farmers Cooperative store.
William Kangas, manager OF the
store, reports that in 1923, 46,132 lbs.
were shipped; in 1924, 1896 IDS; in
1925, 42,875 fbs.; in 1926, 62,529 lbs;
and in 1927, 82,406 lbs. of butterfat
Adding shipments made through
other channels, it is estimated that
100000 pounds of butIerfat were ship
ped out of Embarrass in 1927.
