u. S. to Seek Foreign Citrus
Market

To aid in creating additional markets for the
growing citrus fruit production of the United States,
congress has created a fund of $4,000 to stimulate
exporting citrus fruits to European markets.
1t is planned to employ a man trained in citrus
growing and market to aid would be exporters here
and would-be importers on the other side of the At
lantic. The fund is not available until July l.
This is a service which if properly handled may
mean much to the Valley indirectly. If proper con-
facts are made it might easily be Of great direct
benefit.
Dispatches from Washington state that the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce of the department
of agriculture is giving a great deal of time and at
stention to the selection of the proper man for this
place. 1t is explained that department heads feel
the employe, who is to be known as the citrus COM
missioner, should closely fit certain specifications
And here is where the Valley is especially inter-
ested.
These same dispatches state that Florida and Cal
ifornia interests directly interested have been re-
quested to make nominations for the place.
Surely it would be in the interest of fairness to
allow Valley men to have some word in this selec-
ton. The fact that this has not been done IS an IN
dication that this citrus producing area must be
brought more forcibly to the attention OF Official
Washington.
A letter from Acting Director o. P. Hopkins adj
dressed to Senator Fletcher of Florida says:
mfr. Montgomery. chief Of the division OF
foodstuffs. has just returned from California and
Florida. where he looked up most Of the people
who are directly interested in the export of citrus
fruits. - . = . Interested parties all have
been asked to submit names of men they would
consider suitable. The names Of a number OF
men have been sent in and we are checking up
with the exporters and c%onsigners to see who they
consider best qualified"
The Valley is going to be q serious competitor Tor
world citrus markets in a year or two and some OF
the fruit grown in this section already has been ex-
ported to England and other European countries.
1t behooves the leaders in the industry In this Sec
ton to see that proper. recognition is given to the de-
sires of this section.

Indians on the Warpath

First. Will Rogers declared that Gen. Andrew jack
son was an oppressor of the Cherokees, a thieving
old warrior who first stole their lands and then ran
the dispoiled ones into the wilderness. 1t goes With
out saving that the chief of the Clarenont tribe,
who IS a conventional democrat, demands that the
name of Jackson shall be dropped from the calen-
dar of the democratic saints. Gone are the good
old DAYS and the good old saints.
There is another Indian, the king OF the kaW
tribe, who is creating a lot Of trouble IN the eXclu-
sive social circles of the city of Washington. Vice
Pres. Charles Curtis has come back to avenge the
wrongs of Poor 10. He is a widower. His sister,
Mrs. Gam, is his official hostess.
Now the chief Of the Kaws, brandishing his
tomahawk and with a glittering knife in his belt,
has let it be known that the pipe of peace will not
be smoked unless Mrs. Gam shall be recognized as
the second lady of the land, given the seat Of honor
next to that Of the first lady Of the land, and rank
ing above the wives Of cabinet officers and foreign
ambassadors at all the functions Of the Washington

, vantageS. Our soft food and pre-
digested meals tend to weaken the
teeth. Decay, abcessed roots and
pussy gums are all too common.
Infections take place and the eff
fects of such infections are felt
throughout the body.
One of the evil effects Of fnfec-
ton is a lessened supply of the
gastric juice. 1t is decreased in
quantity and reduced in quality.
This effect in its turn disturbs di-
gestion and lowers the food value
of the things eaten. 90
Buttermilk has long been y "
nized as acceptable when E
foods have disagreed. 1t is known
in these modern days that the
presence Of the Tactic acid has been
responsible for the good effects.
In some countries the milk has
been purposely soured. This is true
in Oriental lands and In all hot
countries. 1t is impossible with
the conveniences they have, to keep
the milk sweet. Such races have
fermented the supply to make IL
acceptable as a 1000, as Well as
to preserve il.
In the process Of fermentation
the curds are broken into fine par
ticles. In the stomach curds will
form, but many times they are too
large and hard to be acted upon
by the gastric juice, particularly II
it IS low in acid content.
In the laboratory first and nov
in the commercial world, artifi-
cially produced buttermilk Is made.
BY the addition of Tactic acid to
the Bacillus bulgaricus, the fer
mentation is hastenei.

sort Of reward, Brown surmised.
Well, he mustn't presume upon it,
OF course. He dropped the hand
and then suddenly realized what
she had said.
There is a way, is there?" he ex-
claimed. "What?"
"A door I want to open-and
can't" she said slowly. Then she
forgot the door, and broke off: Eyes,

Brown.

Browns heart missed a beat. She

Brown had nc notion. A stout
stool stood near the door. He picked
1t up and, with the sudden strength
Of a knight who cannot afford tc

"Oh, well done!" exclaimed the
girl, and swiftly peeled off a long
splinter of wood. Inserting her hand

drew it aside.
Then she pulled the door open

Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL s. COPELAND, nj. ID.
Former Commissioner of Health,

Lots Of people write to INQUIRE
about the use of buttermilk and
other acid milks. They want to
know if they are good for health.
A few days ago I told about the
value of such milk in overcom-
ing the weakness and other dis
abilities Of undernourished babies.
Similar good effects may come to
the adult who makes use of this
food.
I used the word food" on pur-
pose. Too many persons regard
milk merely as q beverage. This
is a great mistake. Not only is II
a food, but it is mankind's chief
and most valuable food.
What can I say to impress this
on your mind? Everybody should
take milk in some form every day
OF the year. 1t carries elements
OF vital Importance to your physi-
cal welfare. The sooner you real
ize this and act upon the convic-
ton, the better for you.
But it must be admitted there
are some persons who do not han
Ole milk well. The digestive pow
ers are low, or at least unsuited
for the digesting of ordinary milk.
In such cases it may well be that
some form of acid milk may meet
the situation. It is on this account
I am writing today.
As I have said about babies, there
are human stomachs that do not
manufacture sufficient acid to
carry on the processes of digestion
in satisfactory manner. In conse-
quence. indigestion, distress and
undernourishment may result.
1t Is surprising how the muscles
tone and appearance Of the skin
improve by a change of diet. Mere
ly adding acid to the milk may eff
feet this improvement.

Now he reached the house, and

rarely say exactly what they mean.
One leg went over the ledge. He
was just in the velvet mouth now.
Would it snap, and bite him in two?
He could dart out again, even yet,
if he decided to.
Steady" he chartered.
He thought Of the girls face for
comfort. In his imagination she
threw her lovely arms around his
neck, and thanked him for his he
roism with warm tears of gratitude.
He held her to him, tight, and over
went the other leg.
He was right in now. Right in
side the mouth. Surely it would
close on him! He turned, and the
garden cleaned duly back at him,
oddly inaccessible. The lips that
framed it remained open. Just one
leap, and he could.
He swung around swiftly. Now
the garden was behind him and
ahead was an intense blackness
through which crept soft footsteps.
who's there?" he said.
His voice sounded like the voice of
a pea-hen. He was not really sure
that it sounded at all. He tried
again.
WHO'S THERE?"
This time his voice sounded like
thunder, and he nearly jumped out
of his skin through the shock of it.
1t roared through invisible vistas,
and the echoes came rolling back.
"Boom-boom! Boom-boom!"
And the footsteps still crept soft
ly.
Then Browns brain burst, and he
lost control of himself. He rushed
forward, senselessly, without any
plan or policy. and a miraculous
thing happened. His waving arms
touched something. and wound
themselves round that something
with the winding force of an octo-
pus. and all at once he heard a
heart beating close to his own and
experienced a warmth that almost
made him sob through the sheer
relief and wonder Of it. Brown did
actually cry a little though he never
knew it, and for a brief instant his
head rested inert against tn G
warmth with the need Of a small
child seeking comfort. The capturer
sought solace from the captured.
Then his brain cleared slightly, he
began to come to his senses, and
whispered. convulsively:
who are you9"
please let me 60" replied the
warm thing.
Whatever II had asked, Brown
would have obeyed that voice. He
released his capture, and stood wait
ing.
A sudden light blazed into his
face, almost binding him. The girl
had switched on an electric torch
and as she did so she gave a little
exclamation.
"Why-r've seen you beforel" she
exclaimed.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, April 1f.-Franklin W. Fort, New
Jersey representative in congress, will be heard from
often on the question: of farm relief at the forth
coming special session, and yet it is doubtful if there
is a single farmer numbered among his constituents.
Ills district is essentially urban, lying almost With
in a stones throw Of New York City. Parts of New
wark and the cities Of East Orange and Orange, as
well as the wealthy suburbs Of Essex county make
up his constituency.
But respite the fact that Fort is a "city man., it is
conceded on Capitol hill that when the house plunges
into the farm problem he will be found in the thick
Of the fight at all times.
A CITY FARMER
Forts friends have never been able to explain
why he has taken such an interest in agriculture
since he came to congress. When he arrived in
Washington four years ago to serve his first term
he came into the office Of his colleague, Charles A.
Eaton and remarked:
Doc. I intend to try and get a seat on the
agricultural committee"
Eaton and other Of his friends were greatly sur
prised. Why should he, representing a state which
had little or no interest in agriculture, want such
a post. And besides, what personal interest could
he have? All of his operations had been in the
banking and insurance fields before his election to
congress. Even at that time he was manager Of a
big fire insurance agency in Newark, representing
Denmark company and was president of a bank.
But Fort stuck to his purpose: He won his place
on the committee and came back to his friends
"tickletd as a child"
From the very beginning he tackled the farmers
problems with the greatest enthusiasm. He set out
to acquaint himself thoroughly with what agricul-
ture was up against. Today. If you walk into his
office you will see lined about his desk volume of
books on agriculture and economics-all within easy
reach.
During his first year in congress he made a speech
on farm relief before the lower house that attracted
the attention of political leaders and drew common
dalton from the press. At the republican national
convention in KANSAS City last June he was in the
spotlight more than once when the question Of farm
relief was up.
! A HOOVER AIDE
portant part in the coming session, because he is
so close to President Hoover. He was one Of Hoover's
aides in the food administration, and has long been
known as one Of the foremost Hoover supporters.
The President has a lot of confidence in the New
Jersey representative and has often conferred with
him. There were telephone conversations between
the two while Hoover was mentioning at Miami
Beach. 1t may be said safely that whatever Fort
has to say on the floor of the house these next few
weeks will be listened to with respect.
I Fort is one Of the hardest working men in. con-
gress. It is a rare occurance when he leaves his Of
flee before z o'clock at night, and he is often to be
found there as late as midnight. plugging away.
