SOME WOMEN ARE EASY TO
LOOK AT AND SOME FOODS
ARE EASY TO EAT

ARE EASY TO EAT
Somehow beauty contest winners
suggest corn syrup to me.
The carbohydrates-such Is bread.
sugar, syrup, cakes, pies, buildings.
candy, ice cream, sweets In general,
crackers, cookies breakfast cereals,
fountain beverages. beer, wine-are al
pretty nourishing stuff and. oh. 50
easy to eat or drink whether you are
hungry or not. AL Of these are no
toriously lacking In food minerals and
In vitamins. Beauty contest winners
appear to lack qualities that make .
woman . good wife.
All the items mentioned are made
from foods that In theif original nat
ural state contained Ntamins or min.
erals or both, but In the process OF
manufacture, refinement, publication,
pasteurization, sterilization, fumiga-
ton, bleaching, preservation, concen-
tration or cooking these essential fac
tors are partly or entirely removed OF
destroyed.
For efficiency and well being the
body demands not only minimum Of
calories from protein, fat and carbo-
hydrate daily but also minimum OF
minerals and vitamins. The ordinary
diet Of civilized man. consisting largely
Of refined, manufactured or purified
foods, fails to supply the minimum Of
minerals and vitamins required. In
the instructive effort to get these
essentials most Of us eat too much
OF the food we have. The excess piles
up Is fat. And still we are hungry,
for the demand has not been met.
The easiest kind Of food to eat Is
carbohydrate. Candy, ice cream,
crackers, bread. cakes, pie, buildings.
hot fudge sauce-these things are 50
easy to eat even when you are not
particularly hungry or when you have
Just had . full meal OF regular vic.
tuals or when some one invites you
to have some refreshment.
Thus the nutritional deficiency u q
kind Of vicious circle. You crave food
because you are not properly nour-
iahed. The easiest and most available
and perhaps the most tempting and
palatable things to eat are these very
items, and they happen to b the
poorest In mineral and vitamin con-
tent.
Our national per capita consump-
ton Of sugar Is enormous, and It q
increasing year by year. So Is obesity
and diabetes on the increase. Prob
ably many other ailments which are
not 50 definitely associated with ex-
cessive consumption Of carbohydrate
food are Increasing.
For the immediate treatment Of
obesity or oversize 1t Is important to
see that the diet shall provide the cor
rect quota Of minerals and vitamins.
In such . diet 1t Is possible 10 use
concentrates which will bring the pro-
portions Of these essentials well up TO
or . bit above the natural or normal
level. Indeed It Is fair to say that Z
diet which Is not thus scientifically
planned Is . menace to health, and

Shekels That Pass in the Night

Civilians County Farmers Press
North Dakota taxpayers this week
learned Of another attempt to do
them out Of their hard-earned cash
In well-planned plot, the Leader
william LANCER newspaper, was sue
cessful In having no less than $3.50
transferred from the state mill and
elevator fund. Fortunately for the
taxpayer, however, the discretion-ot
fear-on the part Of Attorney Gen.
eral p. O. Satire and Ludwig Peder-
son. manager Of the mill and eleva-
tor. dealt the Typ such telling blow
that the public money was put back.
Three thousand, five hundred and
seventy dollars may not be such q
lot Of money when stacked up against
1000. Nevertheless, the amount
assumes . more siseable proportion
In the eyes Of harassed and debt-bur-
dened taxpayers who had to dig deep
into their Jeans for the $3.50 In the
first place.
Whatever the amount, It Is the
procedure involved In this attempt to
lift $3.50 out Of the mill and eleva-
tor fund that smells strtkingly Of
racketeers.
Foundation for the collection" wa
laid In early July when the Leader
and Peterson Of the mill and eleva-
tor entered into IN advertising con.
tract. The special mill and elevator
rate Of $3.50 IN inch was to be given
provided 70-inch advertisement was
published weekly for 48 weeks. But
that wasn't al. The mill and ele-
vator was to have the opportunity t.
pay in advance-a mighty consider
ate concession granted by the Leader
The first Of last week the Leader
forces learned the newly constituted
industrial commission would elimi-
nate state institutional advertising
because 1t was considered unneces.
sary and too costly. Thereupon
LANCER and his Leader henchmen sci
out to get the taxpayers money while
the getting was good. Two Leader
men were sent to Grand Forks post
haste to collect. They talked Peder-
son into giving them q check. He
had not yet learned Of the industrial
commissions decision. The Leader
boys Immediately cashed the check Il
forestall any stop-payment, and The
currency-$3.57o-they brought bach
in night ride to Bismarck to theil
boss.
But there was no smooth sailing
even yet. Peterson learned he hac
been tricked. Satire, when he dis.
covered what had been going on
couldn't stomach the deal. Still
LANCER wanted to keep the money
When Vogel, Bonner and Bangor
sided with Satire, LANCER gave In.
In conclusion the $3.50 was pu
back where 1t belonged. But it wa!
the first time such . conclusion hae
been written for similar incidents

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Pineapple


Pineapple
Kindly tell me II raw pineapple
eaten has any Ill effect7 Has It any
effect on reducing? (Miss J. 81
Answer-Pineapple. fresh or canned
Is Z wholesome, healthful food and
has no Ill effect Of any kind. OF
course it has food value. It Is silly to
imagine that certain foods, such q
lemons, pickles, ETC.. reduce.
Best Ant-acid
Some time ago you recommended
something Is an ant-acid for stomach
acidity. I believe It was chalk, but I
have lost the clipping :. (Mrs. D. j.
W.
Answer-Yes. prepared chalk, also
called calcium carbonate, Is preferable
to soda and other alkaliS. Ten grains
will neutralize excessive acidity for an
hour or more.
Can you tell me what molasses does
not contain sulphur dioxide? (Mrs.
M b.
Answer-Only molasses made In the
old-fashioned way, by boiling the
sugar down In open kettles. Here
and there such molasses Is still mar
keted. All so-called mo:asses made in
the modern vacuum process contains
sulphur dioxide, which has been added
In the bleaching Of the sugar, crude
pure sugar not being lily white
enough for the Wiseacre Yankee pub
lie. I cannot mention here brands Of
molasses that contain no sulphurous
acid.

Welcome. Mr.. Roosevelt

welcome, MIR. Roosevelt
North Dakota today welcomes
President Franklin D. Roosevelt to
this state, the first time we have en-
tertained q chief executive since
President Wilson, then In failing
health, visited Bismarck and other
cities In 1920.
This time 1t Is Devils Lake which
Is called upon to do the honors and
it is confidently to be expected that
the city by the vanishing water will
do itself proud. It should, for upon
Mr.. Roosevelts decision may rest the
question Of what Is to become, not
only Of Devils Lake but Of much Of
North Dakota. II he and his advis-
ors approve the Missouri river diver
sion proposal. new hope viii come
into our hearts. There will be water
in the land again. Devils Lake will
once more be . sizeable body Of wa
ter and the spectre Of drouth will 1T
least be given . setback.
In coming to North Dakota, the
president visits . part Of the west
which gave him q rousing endorse
ment In 1892 and In which his popu-
larity still Is unsurpassed.
TO North Dakota and the west he
owes the opportunity Of demonstrate
tng what he could do to bring this
nation out Of the slough Of despond
in which he found it. To the presi-
dent, North Dakota and the west
owe real appreciation for the work
he has done, particularly for the Is
sistance which he has caused the
government to extend us In our time
Of trial. There Is real bond Of
sympathy between Mr.. Roosevelt and
North Dakota which should be en-
HANGED by this visit, for 1t was North
Dakota which formally launched him
as candidate for the presidency.
His answer to q resolution by the
state Democratic convention in 1882
constituted the opening gun Of his
campaign. The resolution itself spoke
for the great majority Of people In
this state, as was evidenced 1T the
subsequent election.
In sense, while Mr.. Roosevelt has
not visited North Dakota since his
swing around the nation q . can
didate for the vice presidency in
1920. the president is coming home
when he enters the boundaries Of
this state.
His progressive spirit finds kinship
here. He, like North Dakota. has
had . not too roseats past but he
faces the future with hope and con-
fidence.
North Dakota welcomes the presi-
dent as q man who has displayed the
qualities Of leadership and whose
spirit is In tune with that Of the
progressive farmers and businessmen
Of this state. He will see us at our
worst from m agricultural stand
point, but that may be blessing
rather than Q handicap. In any event
we are glad to SEQ him and hope he
enjoys his brief stop Ia our midst.
