Corn q Valuable Plant

Corn is native to the Americas
before Columbus it was unknown in
Europe. Research indicates that il
first grew on the high plateau of
Mexico, and from there its cultiva.
ton and use spread to Central and
South America. When white men
first explored the interior of the
Western continents they found corn
being raised from lower Canada as
far south as Peru. Though little but
white and yellow corn were seen in
the United States, there are varie.
ties Of many different colors-red,
purple. pink, brown, blue, black and
variegated. The Peruvians cultivate
a variety with very large kernels-
20 large that, when boiled, they are
eaten singly az we eat grapes. Be-
fore the white man came, certain
families in each tribe were entrust-
ed with the cultivation and breeding
Of corn and the maintenance Of dis.
tinct colors-which would indicate
that the Indians understood poIleni-
xation and other cultural processes.
Corn not only supplies man with
food but also with starch, glue, cor
tain kinds Of dyes, syrup and other
products.

Pocket Knife Has Lost Favor and the
Old-Time Whttlers Have Passed AWAY

The old-fashioned pocket knife
with which the small boy of gen.
Grafton ago carved willow whistles
and played humble the-peg appears
to have had its heyday. Either that
or the simplification Of modern in
dustrial production has reduced its
models more than half, according
to the evidence Of hardware cata-
logues, notes a writer in the Chi
cago Daily News.
The volume of sales for pocket
knives has not kept pace with the
increase in population in the last
three or four decades, sales Off
Gals report.
"Our latest catalogue lists 80 Sc
lections among pocket knives" said
one. whereas our 1910 catalogue
listed 104 different models. I don't
think that the boys or men Of today
feel the same pride in possessing a
pocket knife as did those of the pre-
vious generation.
Where, years ago, the lad who
owned a two or three BLADDER with a
stag-horn handle considered himself
something Of a "big shot," today
the average young man seems salts

Don't Overeaf

Thus, it is evident that there are
numerous instances when there is
justification for departing from the
accepted routine. But it must be
remembered that as the number
of meals is increased, the amount
of food taken at each one should
be decreased. Otherwise, an un-
due strain may be placed upon the
digestive organs.
Then, too, no matter how the
days food is divided, it must pro-
vide all the substances required
for sound nutrition. Otherwise, the
Body will be improperly nour-
ished, no matter how many meals
are consumed.
The diet Should be built first of
all around the protective foods
milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables,
which are such an important
source Of necessary minerals and
vitamins. It must also supply pro-
tein for growth and repair, carbo-
hydrates and fats for adequate en-
ergy, and sufficient bulk or cellu-
lose to promote normal elimina-
ton.
