Distribution Chief Problem.
am personally convinced that
the solution Of this basic problem
as permanent rather than q tenn
porary matter is more a problem Of
distribution than one of production.
When distribution charges, largely
due to monopolistic control, take,
on the average. three-fifths Of the
consumers dollar in our Nation, 1
am convinced that the field is an
essential one for legislative explora-
ton and correction. The Secretary
Of Agriculture, Mr.. Wallace, has, in
my opinion, much clearer under
standing Of the whole problem than
most Of our people In public life.
While have not always agreed with
his conclusions, yet I am convinced
that he and those working with him
have the fullest comprehension of
the entire agricultural situation
and I am convinced that within
another year, we shall have taken
long strides toward the goal OF
economic security for our producers
Of raw material, keeping at all
times in mind the American stand
ard Of living, not only for this
agricultural portion Of our people
but with the maintenance of these
standards for our laborers and
workers In other fields.
To admit that we cannot solve
the problem is to admit failure Of
democratic processes Of govern
ment, and, also, to admit our in
ability to maintain, In a country of
unparalleled resources, the standard
Of living which we believe essential
to prosperous and happy American
Life, and permit all sections and lines
Of activity to have full opportunity

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Food You Eat Greatly

Nutritionist for the State Board

Cod LiVer Oil Is NO1O In
Season

With the coming of September,
fall officially begins. Sun Drowned
skins show that there has been
plenty of opportunity for the sun to
produce an abundant supply of vita
mine d. Throughout the summer
many mothers rely on this action
of the sun to take the place of cod
liver oil in the diet of younger chill
dren.
The suns rays are no longer
strong enough to provide a reliable
substitute. These mothers must now
turn again to cod liver oil or some
other source of vitamin d.
Vitamin d Is especially needed
whenever rapid bone growth is TAX
ing place Vitamin d aids in the
utilization of calcium and phOsphOr-
us in the formation of bone.
There are a few precautions to
observe in the storage of cod liver
oil. Like butter or any other fat,
cod liver oil is highly perishable
Cod liver oil should be kept cold,
in a refrigerator If possible. This
not only prevents spoilage, but also
decreases the taste and odor
The mouth of the bottle should
be kept scrupulously clean. Rancid
fat may accumulate here and hasten
deterioration. ANY tunnels and
spoons which are used should be
thoroughly washed after every US
ing.
Unless it is possible to keep the
oil in a refrigerator, it is economy
to purchase not more than three
weeks supply at a time.
Concentrated sources of vitamin
D should be taken only under med
ical supervision as very large over
doses may be toxic.
Babies and young children usu-
ally like cod liver oil unless their
parents and older children prejudice
them against it.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
By
Elmo Scott Watson
A River Is Their Memorial

a WAY back in 1889 Pierre and
n Paul Mallet, Canadian traders,
heard of the wealth of far-away
Santa Fee where, it was said, the
Spanish senorS wore silver buttons
on their clothes and the senoritas
had silver heels on their slippers.
So they enlisted six other venture
some Canadians and after long
journey by boat and pack train, ar
rived in the New Mexican capital.
The Spanish governor was friend
ly but there was a law against
free trading. So the MalletS start
ed north, crossed the headWaterS Of
the Canadian Called the Colorado
by the Spaniards because of its red
Waters) and followed up the Pur-
gatoire to its junction with the Ar
kansas. There the party split up.
Three of the men, who were home
sick, started overland for Canada
and eventually reached Montreal
safely.
The Mallets, accompanied by two
others, went down the Arkansas and
the Mississippi to New Orleans,
where they reported their explora-
tionS to Bienville, the governor,
whose efforts to find a route to San
ia Fee had been unsuccessful. He
engaged them to guide another ex-
petition led by Andre de la Bruyere,
a royal officer, who was to ascend
the Mississippi and Arkansas to the
mouth of the Canadian, which the
Mallets correctly guessed arose
less than 40 leagues from Santa
Fee"
When the Canadian dwindled
away to mere brook in central
Oklahoma, Bruyere sat down to wait
for it to rise, instead of buying
horses from the Osages to transport
his goods, as the Mallets advised
him to do. But it was a dry year
and, after waiting six months, Bruy-
ere went back to New Orleans. The
Mallets returned to Canada, where
they disappeared from history, but
today the Canadian river is 760-
mile-long memorial to the two
brothers ''Whose wanderings rank
them on a par with La Sale"

Best Musk Produced by Male Deer of the HmaIay

Throughout the long roll of the
centuries there have been innu-
tmerable perfumes.
However the bases-the fixatives
were a few natural products, the
most famous of which is musk. Sew
eral animals produce musk, but the
best comes from the male musk
deer of the Himalayas, according TO
an authority in the Philadelphia
Record.
The musk deer is only 20 inches
high. has no antlers and its teeth
project like tusks in the male. This
tiny deer carries beneath the skin
of his stomach sack about the
size of an orange, in which is found
q dark brown substance, somewhat
like wet gingerbread (found only in
the rnale).
This musk" is about the strong
est smelling substance known, rath-
er aromatic and pleasant. The deer
is killed. the musk sack extracted
and dried. then packed by camel
caravan across the immense plains

of Asia TO the centerS where it finds
its way into world trade.
Long before the Christian era
men were killing musk deer and
dealing in the musk they obtained
from them.
Musk is mixed with many other
ingredients, whose odors it seems
to blend into whole. In color it
is dark purplish. in texture dry.
smooth and unctuous to the touch,
in taste bitter.
SO pervading is it that the scent
remains for centuries. In 1858
Bloody" Mary of England ordered
Lady Cecily Cholmondoley impris-
oned in the Tower of London. The
governor of the tower. who sympa-
thized with his fair prisoner, had
her cell perfumed with musk. The
characteristic perfume is still dis
cernible after nearly 400 years.
Chemically musk contains am
monia, cholesterin, fatty matter, a
bitter resinous substance and other
animal principles.
