We put our ear to the ground or our nose to the trail, and whether or not we are hound dogs depends on the noise we make when we bay our quarry. Some of u$ do it in the open and some sneak up behind and hit the victim in the neck, but the objective is the same we want a dollar. Allof-whic- h brings us around to the point where it is pleasant to contemplate somebody and something that is not just strictly bottomed oriHhe dollar idea. Take the present department of fish and game in the state , of Utah, Sor instance. There's something going forward there that seems to be divorced from bundles of greenbacks and clerks with skull-cap- s counting stacks of coin. One sees tall trees with the wind sighing gently through. One h ears a brook quarreling with the rocks with an occasional glimpse of a finny beauty dart-jin- g . through the shallows. We wonder if all the money in the world could buy more than a calm heart underneath a pine tree at night when the drifts across the campfire and the murmurings of the streams mingle with the melodious noises of the darkiress. Some of us must stand at the desk and cast up figures. Oth- ers of us have sense enough to divorce ourselves from the tread-- i mill.' A great rift through the mountains with a stream down is worth a million dollars to some folks and a total loss to others of different ilk. Perhaps it is well that we have both kinds or life might be monotonous. ' .Therefore, it seems timely to make mention of something good that came out of the hopper of the last legislature. It was the perpetuation of good things that had gone before, and in getting it by, we imagine the assembly surprised even itself. We refer to the work that Dave Madsen has done in his incumbency of the fish and game office and the new law that he succeeded in putting over. We believe him to be a man with a heart and an idea. We think that hie is trying to preserve the natural wealth and beauty of Utah as a sylvan asylum for the sick souls of the future. If Commissioner Madsen can have his way we FARMING will pull trout from mountain streams .for ever, instead of sitting disconsolately by an empty stream. . -- pipe-smo- ke - " ; - Id Its thats swell in front, Said Mr. Fly; like a home such an old and honored stunt, Declared the Fly.

Without knowing just what bearing the rules would have on this, it being the official fiction that the senator who has the floor addresses the president of the senate, there would seem to be a valuable precedent in the progressive senators action. Why not oftener address the people from the senate floor? Citizens of the United States, sitting in the galleries, have often been threatened with ejection from their own government house because they have signified in their own way their sentiments of approval or disapproval of what was being said n the floor by their representatives. , The galleries were not supposed to recognize the senators in any way. But now that a senator has the galleries, who knows what straight dealing T we may.recognized be in for ? COMMUNITY . ed REFUTING FOOD FACTS During the war Dr. W. E. Fitch was chief of nutrition at a 10,000 jbed base hospital and carried on, with his associates, tests concerning the action of the human stomach toward many of the foodstuffs usually eaten. As a consequence he cts-many of the common opinions relating 3to food and diet. It has been held, at least in recent years, that the drinking of water with meals is harmful. Dr. Fitch says, on the contrary, that drinking water with meals is a good, sound dietetic practice for healthy, normal persons. He declares, however, that water should not be used in washing down food, but only after the food nu-merb- us " reje- is swallowed. Another dietetic delusion, he says, is the belief that hot bread the stomach Dr. Fitch adwhich resists the action of the digestive juices. mits that the juices do not penetrate hot bread as quickly as they do stale bread, but adds that the extra time required to digest the hot bread is of no particular importance. The rapid eating of meat has long been under the censure of the doctors and dieticians. Dr. Fitch emphatically states that nature never intended meats to be chewed to the consistency of sausage and adds that prolonged mastication, such as the late There is ground Horace Fletcher advocated, can be overdone. is for the belief, says Dr. Fitch, that meat which too thoroughly masticated and macerated will be forced out of the stomach before the acid gastric juices have had time to prepare it for digestion. When sausage or hamburger steak, continues the doctor, produce trouble during the digestive process, it may be explained as follows : The meat from which the sausage or hamburger mass with a steak are made is reduced to a very fine pulp-lik- e machine, and when it enters the stomach the peristaltic contractions of this organ forces the finely comminuted meat pulp out of the stomach too quickly, and, as a result of not being properly acted upon by the acid gastric juices, it reaches the upper part of the intestine, which is alkaline in reaction, and protein (meat) digestion is halted. In consequence, the end products of protein digestion are, liberated, throwing extra work on both the liver and kidneys. Besides, these end products of protein digestion are reabsorbed into the blood stream, producing a long chain of ills, prominent among which are autointestinal-intoxicatioDr. Fitch asserts that bolted meat remains in the stomach for a longer period than the finely masticated and that when it is leaving the stomach the bolted meat is better digested than if it had been Fletcherized. He deals with the drinking of milk in the same radical manner." The absorption of milk into the system takes place after it leaves the stomach and is therefore as sure to be digested if swallowed rapidly as if merely sipped. Thus are theories which we long regarded as based on sound principles knocked into" a cocked hat. is indigestible and forms a plastic, spongy mass in n.

It is the first farming community to be established by the bureau in its effort to feturn to their proper station in sofeietysmen disabled ih the conflict. V, Each veteran has been given a fulfarm, facing ly equipped upon a highway, and it has been arranged that he may own the property within a few years. The farms comprise part of an initial tract of 1680 acres, set aside by citizens of Canton,, and it is proposed ultimately to have 150 veterans in the vicinity and to have under cultivation approximately 17,000 acres of truck land. The underwriting of the venture is by the chamber of commerce, which raised a fund to guarantee banks for advanced money to construct homes and for other purposes. Each of the first sixteen farmers has a nest egg saved from payments made by, the bureau during his of each period of training, but part must go monthly compensation check toward payment for the land and other equipment furnished by the bureau and citizens of Canton. In addition to his land each veteran will have a specially constructed house of three rooms with two porches, one screened for sleeping. The men also will have their own school at which they may continue their agricultural education and at which their children will pursue the usual school work. In order that the farms may be stocked, the Illinois Central Railroad company has agreed to provide pure bred hogs and permit the veterans to pay for them with revenue derived from increases In the herds. The veterans will do their own marketing on a cooperative basis.
